BlazBlue: Shadow (Rachel) vs GUCCI (Condom)

[ZatoSama]

guilty gear looks much cooler than this

[GatlingSmash]

@ZatoSama

I have to agree in terms of characters (although the sprites are of higher quality in this one). The backgrounds of BB are livelier and the 3D parts have been implemented well.

Both games have awesome super moves (and soundtracks) though. :D

Then again, it's all about personal preference.

[VerifyinTr1gIDs]

@ZatoSama I just don't like down wall dust spam.

[Hagrifield]

What an epic fight ;)

[TheCrimsonDay]

""Why is noel called "condom"?""

Because you put her on your dick.

[Hagrifield]

@TheCrimsonDay a nice option too for this name ;)

[ikarugalover674]

ahhh poor condom at the end

[MelbShaw]

@ikarugalover674 don't you mean hoel?

Rachel won't win anymore in BBCS :[

[ikarugalover674]

@MelbShaw the title says condom soo thats what its called

[orihinovic2zo6]

Awesome .... !!!

[beesnipe16]

lol I thought it was degrading a character rofl

[kazerushly]

hey noel did pretty good :)

[Zettamiles]

I wish Rachel Astraled, but if she did and missed her heat wouldn't have been high enough... GG anyways :D

[someguyhunter]

i love rachels play style. she has the speed of bang but has summons like arakune :)

[TheAlienmonkey]

Rachel is one sick bastard :o well played

[StrifeHighwind]

Is there a reason why the title says Condom instead of Noel?

[GatlingSmash]

Yeah. Noel's voice actor's name is Kondou, and Ragna's VA likes to call her Kondomu.

..I should put this up in the description, people ask this way too often for me to handle.

[MizuFujimori]

Rachel= one of the most unique fighting styles

[theriverdragon]

condom. wut?

[HiagoX]

Oh my God, Noel's VA is so adorable.

[warhound2k7]

Hate fighting Noels so much.

[quicksilverbalt]

lol, why is that? I hate playing Jins cuz people will go overkill with that freeze. My biggest issue is that when I use noel (which is always) i go right at people cuz she lacks any real distance move though she wields double pistols, go figure. But most online players do the same move over and over again and never really go at u. I go right at people always, that's just the way i am maybe it's my weak point but i rather go right at someone then cower in the corner sending distance attacks.

[warhound2k7]

I don't like that she can offer up instant mix-ups with her drive. I don't like that her aerial attacks are stupid fast, if you do it right she'll go into an endless freaking combo by doing 2A. Also you can do 6A > whiff grab > 6A > whiff grab into other crap. It's just a pain in the ass to deal with her sometimes.

[quicksilverbalt]

lol, yea she's def fast which is probably why i like her. But she's def beatable also. Remember Noel has really no long range attacks except two that i can think of. The key is countering with her and blocking sure that sounds incredibly simple but since i use Noel all the time i know that throwing off my rhythm can be really devastating to me. I mean if someone is really fast what hurts them the most? Slowing them down of course.

[warhound2k7]

Blocking isn't too easy against Noel, because her drive, it can offer instant mix-ups and those who know what their doing use combos which really need to be IB'd in order to counter. There's also one move of hers during her drive which she rushes to the other side of your character and rams them with her shoulder, and I've never been able to block that shit.

[quicksilverbalt]

Yea I know the move you're talking about and that I can see how it would be difficult to stop. But if her dives are what's causing u problems i suggest you start jumping a whole lot more.

[warhound2k7]

Yeah, but doesn't that make counter attacking after she's done a little bit tough?

[quicksilverbalt]

true, or you could jump back. She's fast though and I can see the problems you have but like all characters it's all about who's using them and not so much the character themselves. I personally don't like to jump without following with a hit. My best advice is to block, a lot.

[warhound2k7]

I'm gonna need to attack eventually. It's not that I can't fight Noels or can't beat them at all. They're drive are a freaking pain to deal with most of the time.

[Nekoakurei]

you can grab her right out of that move if you time it right. or backdash out of it if you see it comming

[warhound2k7]

Interesting, thanks.

[cecilrickets]

Why is Noel called Condom?

[kurosaki120]

noel's seiyuu is Kanako Kondou. if you watch the Blazblue Radio on NicoNico, she was given that nickname by Ragna's seiyuu, Sugita Tomokazu, because "Kondou" sounds like "condom"

[IPandaFreshI]

ok seriously i started out tonite watching sf4 vids...and then i saw this game? why have i never heard of it? its it available in us? or just japan? wtf i wana play it..seriously someone tell me about this game

[mclace]

Ya its called blazblue.. its been out for a month now. Its made by the same people that made guilty gear.

On the video: that rachel was pure lock down whoever that was kew when to rush and when to pitch tents lol very entertaining to watch.

[GatlingSmash]

Correction: the console version has been out for a month now. The game itself was released in arcades about a year ago.

[Faulzee]

Get the ps3 version if you want to fight people outside the u.s. The 360 version is region locked.

[ChileanIggy]

came out a few weeks ago on the US for PS3 and 360

it's by the same people that did Guilty Gear

go pick it up, it's amazing

[clemenceau16]

Google, Wikipedia, etc etc. Not your personal army.

[jajn2]

Condom's(lol) ... Noel's combos at the end of round 4 and the beginning of round 5 were nice!

[pkhaseo]

what happened 54 seconds in, she like dashed past her....ps3 youtube quality to low to see

[Bohrain]

It's a bit ironic that even though Noel's weapons are revolvers, she is practically useless at long-range combat.

[AkimboJoe]

3:51 Photo finish!

[HanDaimond]

WTF? Why "condom"?

[GatlingSmash]

Noel's Japanese voice actor is Kanako Kondou. In BlueRadio (BuluRaji), Ragna's voice actor often calls her Kondomu, which has resulted in.. well, this, haha.

[CrimsonZanpakuto]

I can't wait until Contraceptive Pill's fight.

[ragna06]

vs condom lol!!!

[pichilifedeath]

[HolyLich]

That throw interupt was cool.

[SSMugen]

[shurithino]

[realmskifter]

[KarateKid5545]
