Because you're not in blazblue circles.
Also nobody on Sup Forums cares about fighting games.

>The Innocent Gear...
>mostly naked with nothing but a strap holding her boobs from spewing out.

Logic.

know of any circles? I like GG and want to give BB a chance.

Because BB is garbage, and GG isn't.

Because Blazblue embraces the kind of anime tropes that normalfags are too embarrassed to enjoy and Guilty Gear embraces anime tropes that have been popular in the West for years.

Honestly, the closest thing I can point you to is the OP of the blazblue general. There's usually a discord link to get you started in finding players.
The general idea seems to be that the series is slowing down a bit, but it's not slipped into the pitfalls other certain long running games have yet, nor has it gotten as bad as calamity trigger again.

Sorry I couldn't be much help, but I hope you find what you're looking for.

sounds good I'll check it out. I've only been on vg once for the ffxiv thread and that almost gave me cancer

Yeah, I just go in for the useful shit in the OPs and take off. I think xiv might be one of the worst.

Because the original version of blazblue was extremely, almost legendarily bad despite also having an insane amount of hype behind it.

The later games were pretty dumb too, and the series has a way different/more annoying lore/single player mode than guilty gear, but it's really calamity trigger having so much backlash against it that made people write off the entire series for life.

To be fair, she's essentially an 18 year old girl with the world sense of a 3 year old. And her only father figure for a few years of that was pic related. Can't really blame her.

how is the gameplay different from GG?

I hear it has some good sniffs but I don't really like full 2D graphics desu

From what I've seen GG is more fast paced and has shorter combos that do a lot of damage while BB has longer combos

Get your shit weeaboo wanna be fighter outta here. We dont need your shit in the fgc

the system mechanics and controls are heavily different in large and subtle ways (you get meter just for running towards someone in GG, but not in BB)

GG is a bit faster (compare the frame data on ragna and sol, despite having very similar moves ragnas stuff is alll a bit slower)

BB is more combo heavy, or at the very least they're longer.

BB characters are designed differently from GG characters on a pretty fundamental level because of the drive system, lots of them have a gameplan that boils down to "use your drive and win"

>#1 game is Shit Flinger V, complete with bad wannabe anime campaign and manga-style story mode

anime is taking over when DBF comes out

A lot more meters to keep track of.

Since we're talking other games, anyone here like Arcana Heart 3? I got it on a very obvious whim and the game is actually fun as fuck on a beginner's level.

Any other anime fighting games you guys recommend? bonus points if its on steam.

Keep fapping to your anime waifus faggots theyre not real

can I get a quickrundown on dead or alive and blazblue CP?

DOA is a shitter tekken with better waifus

Which game should I buy to get in to fighting games? I've heard great things about guilty gear, but there seem to be like 40 editions and DLC on steam and I don't know what to buy...

was, she's like 7 or something now

Do we have any more info?

If you want Guilty Gear there's Accent Core Plus R, which is the final revision of X (which is the one before Xrd, the current game), and Revelator 2, which is the newest version of Xrd. If you're buying Xrd on Steam, there's an all in one bundle with Revelator, Rev2 and the DLC characters, without the rest of the DLC that's basically customs and system voices.
There's also Blazblue Centralfiction, which is basically the one to get, as it's the last one and there is no Extend edition coming out. Last time I checked the bundle with all the games is even cheaper than CF by itself.

I do though

I love AC3, I played some of it on ps3 its impossible to find people to play with. I want to play love maxx but its beyond dead.

Were they coming out with a new version sometime?

Probably not? Creator died recently.

So blazblue is dead?

This

And this

I played BB for the first few iterations. The last one I played was when Azreal was introduced, and maybe one update after. All the characters since them have had absolute garbage. Garbage designs started with Platinum, but they just kept getting worse and worse. Everyone new has been so generic and uninspired looking, even more so than before.

how often did you hear about guilty gear before Xrd? Yes pretty much never

it only became relevant because of the new pretty graphics. In fact the gameplay is really watered down compared to previous entries

Now I'm so confused which to buy, they are both like $40...

There's a bunch of them on Steam, pretty much all of the games mentioned ITT, even stuff like Vanguard Princess, Nitroplus and Koihime Enbu. UNIEL and Melty Blood are good (but the non-Steam Melty is recommended).

It's at evo this year

it's just old and the PC release was shit

Because its play Izayoi or lose

don't get me wrong, I don't think Xrd is garbage or anything. It's a solid game, but worse than previous entries imo, and known more for its graphics than the actual gameplay

honestly both BB and GG are anime af. Lots of GGfags claim otherwise because they're trying to fit in "muh FGC", but many of the character designs there are just awful really (and sure BB does have great and terrible designs fwiw)

if possible, try both games and decide for yourself. Both franchises are worth playing

just picked up guilty gear the other day, still trying to figure out what im doing but im dandy as fuck and ive gotten at least a combo down for slayer

but how the fuck do i play answer he seems super gimmicky and all about setups but god damn hes fun

Are there any demos? Or just pirate?

There was this earlier this year.

The gameplay of the new Xrd is watered down compared to previous games, but its the same with every fighting game sequel that has come out since the resurrection of fighting games. However, Xrd has done it better than most in keeping the game still very difficult and rewarding for high level players.

Blaz is just garbage all around. Its like an extra watered down version of GG, but with the added bonus of horrible boring character designs.

Faust main here, on BB I used to main Bang but I have unfortunately embraced the unga and now Azrael is my main

I believe there's a pack on steam with all BB games (including the newest one) for 29,99. Useful if you care about the story (the plot is awful imo, but some people like it idk)

haven't checked GG, but I don't think revelator should be so expensive atm, but not sure

if you're on PS3/4, I assume used copies should be cheap right now

Hmm, it's still pretty expensive in Canada, but I might be able to swing it.

Use your strong normals to scare them into a command grab.

You can work with some scrolls if they give you space, otherwise you can pull them out during counter hut or rc combos.

I haven't really gotten him down yet personally, but got destroyed by an answer who knew what he was doing.

How the hell do I buy the bundle if I already own one of the games

Nudity is innocent you dumb shit.

I don't think you can

blame gaben

Why did CT get backlash? What made it bad? Why was it so hyped?

It looks like I can remove a game from my library... hmm

will revelator go on sale for any cheaper than it currently is. i want to buy it during the summer sale.

>Implying this isn't demonic succubus that corrupted good Christian boy Ky.

whatever price it is right now will stay for the entire summer sale

I regret playing Blazblue's story mode so I just focused on Hazama and Terumi

I liked it for a bit. Played Saki, Meifang, and Kamui a lot

Anyone picking up UNISt? Promo video dropped today
youtube.com/watch?v=wDL1qi4C9As&t=1s

With answer you knock down your oponents and place scrolls while using a lot of mind games, his grab mixup is also really effevtive

>Started with Xrd
>Decide to go back and try out +R.
>Now have to wait for all these characters to be back.
I should have just stayed ignorant.

Rev2 is the newest version though

>How come everyone gives Guilty Gear alot of praise but I never hear anything about Blazblue
Because blaz is too anime for westerners, it's actually the more popular game in japan.

>Also who are your mains?
Noel in blazblue, Millia in gg

Price don't change anymore, refunds killed big sales

How do I play with them though

They fixed basically all the problems with the port though

I like it. I don't see why people can't just play both.

I will, it looks fun and Melty Blood was fun.

...

GG has more western credibility for some reasons. First of all, it's a legacy franchise that's had a place in the FGC for really long. Second of all, BB had a really hard time in its first release. CT was godawful in terms of gameplay, making its status as "spiritual successor to GG" not really stand up all that well. It improved in CS, but it was still pretty much a shallow GG clone at that point.
In CP, they decided to just say fuck it and give the game its own identity, and it paid off. Now the gameplay is better than ever, and it has enough unique system mechanics that it plays extremely differently from GG. I wrote up a comparison between the two if you want to check it out.

I don't really play GG anymore, when I did I mained Slayer. The game isn't all that fun to me, but I can still see why people like it. BB is currently my favorite game. It's not flawless by any means, but there's no other game that's as satisfying to both play and practice in. I main Mu-12.

The balance was tremendously bad, as in, you could realistically only play 3 characters if you wanted to play competitively at all. People complain about balance nowadays too, but those people really didn't experience shit like CT. The gameplay was also both slow and combo-heavy, making games pretty long. There were mechanics that just seemed archaic that got changed in later versions as well.
The reason it was so hyped was because GG had been dead forever and seemed like it had no chance of coming back, and it was the 10th anniversiary for the franchise. BB was originally meant to be a successor to it, but over time it became more popular than GG. However, at release, those who liked GG really had good reasons for not wanting to accept BB.

Which one is better for a noob?

I find the characters in BB so attractive, but I don't know if it's approachable, people say GG is simpler...

would also like to know this

GG is pretty easy to get into mainly because of being pretty "standard" in its approach. BB can be alot more wild even at lower level of play, but I don't think that's really a problem. It's around mid to high-level where you end up getting fucked if you don't have matchup knowledge, before that you can get away just by practicing your own character and focusing on that. GG has a better training mode if you haven't played fighting games before, but BB challenge mode personally I find better since the combos are more categorized by difficulty, so it gives you a good point to start rather than just trying out the optimal stuff.
If you want to try BB, then do it. No fighting game is "super easy", especially not BB or GG (relative to other fighting games). If you find BB more appealing, then you should get that.

If I want to get GG, which do I get, there are like 15 on steam and I want to get one with a community.

newest GG is Revelator 2

For BB, get BBCF
For GG, get Rev2. If you're on PC, that means getting Revelator and then upgrading to Rev2.

BBCF has a lot of complaints in the reviews... is that just the usual autists or is there an issue with it?

If you're talking about the Steam version, there are 2 reasons for that. First of all, the PC release had alot of bugs and graphical glitches, but they finally got completely worked out recently so that's a non-issue now. Second is people complaining about there being no dub. I wish I was joking.

This is going to sound like a really dumb question, but how about something like skullgirls as an intro fighter?

It looks like I have it in my steam library already...

the pc version of BBCF had quite a few problems at launch

it's been patched multiple times since then, and the port is great now tbqh

I honestly have no clue, I know it's similar to Marvel but that's about it. It's usually put alongside Revelator as having the best tutorial, though I've never played it myself. Also has quality of life stuff like actually having a hitbox viewer in-game.

Whelp, looks like I know what I'm getting at some point this sale at least.
Hmm, maybe I'll check that out too.

Honestly the characters were so unappealing I didn't even try it before.

if i made a Rev 2 lobby (on PS4, east coast) how many of you fuckers would join

i feel like in every guilty gear thread that i ever see on Sup Forums, it's always waifuposting and no one actually playing the game

you should know that no one on Sup Forums plays any video games

is Zappa out yet?

How come everyone gives Guilty Gear a lot of praise but nobody plays the fucking game?

After Anji and ABA.

because most people only know about it because of the graphics (which do look great)

95% of the Sup Forums population goes "HURR DURR GG GOOD BB BAD" without having ever played either franchise

lobby's up
pass is:E315t13erF314F3F!fve

i'm fuckin serious m8s

i want to play this game with Sup Forums

i don't care how shit you are, how shitty your connection is, i don't care if you're machaboo and you'll beat me 100 games straight without losing a round

I don't know what you're talking about. I've seen normalfags refuse to play both games purely off their weab character designs, but are looking forward to the new DBZ fighter and like Street Fighter.

People are waiting for their characters to be added into the game.

make your lobby right now and I will join

put in the ID, whatever I have to search by

I can't wait for all these retards to drop DBFZ because it's too hard for them

Room is up

Room name is Sup Forums

ID is 5wqv

I'll play if you can do this combo

heck yea boi

most underrated fighting game ever
find the discord sometime, there's a lot of active players

It's giving me an error " cannot join because you do not meet the host's connection standard."

good job.

Is this PC or PS4, or does it not matter?

ok

it might take me a few tries but i could probably do it

OKAY FINE

NEW ROOM CODE IS i3xi

CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM 0 BAR CONNECTIONS

PS4

>worried about connection when its fine
>talks as if he's a bad player
>never drops a slayer combo
>knows all of the fundamentals

here i thought i was going to fight someone actually mediocre instead its another slayer thats been playing since early sign.

>does it not matter?
if only. gg really needs crossplay.

THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE OTHER THAN MYSELF IN A Sup Forums ROOM

WHAT ALTERNATE TIMELINE IS THIS

Yeah, it would help. I'll probably help post PC lobbies after I get Rev 2 from the Steam sale. Any little bit helps.
