Arcade Infinity Blazblue Tournament - Top 8 Soniti(RA) vs HellFromAbove(AR) 6/14/2009

[Zefiri]

Everytime I see Rachel, I wanna call her Yukari...

[Kesvalk]

the problem with this non-sensical chars is that you don't even start to grasp what the hell is going on...

this was just like a strategy game, the two just created minions non-stop...

[andreyfey]

Arakune you bishhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Sulvuss]

Jee. The area looks like a garden with frogs, cats, bats and a league of bugs flaoting about all overthe screen along with electric poles.

It was cool.

[zqoro112]

can someone just compliment them both and say they had a good mach? jeez its always one player or another who just gets all this heat cause of his playing style. i mean sure you can bitch and moan about it here on the internet but if you were there at an actual tournament i think a display of humility would come rather naturally. cause quite frankly if you bitch at a tourney wiether your playing or not, thats a punk ass move. why is it so different on the internet? i thought they had a good matc

[rmnhn]

ahh... the good ol' days when rachel isn't complete garbage

[jespero93]

hellfromabove's arakune is really boring to watch. he's being really defensive and gay all the time. sure arakunes main priority might be to curse the opponent but if youre doing it from far away, with only clouds, than its boring as shit to watch, and i cant imagine it being as fun to play like it either.

watch Hima, probably the best arakune around. Souji is also good, but a little more defensive.

[TwinSnakes89]

Rachel VS Arakune is such a test of patience lol. Whenever im paired against an Arakune it always leads to a 'Time Out' just because Arakune is a tricky bugger to pin down. Now if i was Nu i would bring that slimey bugger back down to earth with a bang. Still waiting for BBCS to get its EU release.....Ugh Mid-November. =(

[ghostfire1234]

curse mash!!!

[shinra358]

Man, characters in this game make too much noise

[Toastybiggins]

@shinra358

Yeah, I hear yea man...welcome to Japanese fighting games, where no one ever shuts up.

[RedKingYoshi]

Rachel;(((((((((((((((((((((((­(((((

[SSBBsiggi]

therefor i main arakune

[mature942]

arakunes awesome anyone that doesnt like arakune is just haters because they dont know how to use him.

[Xecutionner2K]

Arakune is probably the lamest defense character in history. SERIOUSLY .... you just defend and counter attack and wins everybody....

[asnlunatic]

Poor Rachel...how the mighty have fallen.

[Jumpingmelonz]

1:56 - that Trolling is what made Rachel do what she does now

[xVIxVideos]

Even God Tier can't beat bees.. or a stupid corner trap..

[grimedoctor]

Arakune is Bowser's strongest Shy Guy.

[SonicWinds]

@grimedoctor

An experiment gone terribly, terribly, terribly wrong. LOL

[LordSpectreXII]

5:59.

Must. Use. More.

[TaliaTxT]

reminds me of scarlet weather rhapsody

[deathpath]

@TaliaTxT I play it too :D

[TaliaTxT]

@deathpath cool :D but im not very good :)

[Karterii]

@TaliaTxT Kind of because of the projectile attacks, I guess =/

But I wouldn`t compare BB to SWR...

[Mrblikey]

This Arakune is Doin' it wrong

[myqueensindel]

Soniti isn't too conservative with his wind

[FrizFroz]

@myqueensindel all too right man. Twice he couldn't even do his 6CDC off a BnB properly cos he had no wind... in the 1st round his silpheed gauge disappeared in like 10 seconds.

[ugen1111]

this game is so fkin hard to play. i cant fight at this at all. dunno why i kinda thought this game is simple in controls. or do you just have to get the hang out of it?

[Th3Sh1n1gam1]

oh gosh, a battle between characters that have to spam set ups is crazy when played by pros

[LitmusRemnantal]

Wow, that Arakune was a beast in the end. :D

[chrisofrays]

yeah he looks like 'no face'

[theFoffo90]

wow awesome! There were so many projectile type attacks, looked great!

[sybnios]

Maybe the best 2D fighting games I've watched so far! I must get my hands on it to be sure though..

[AlexiaCarcera]

xie is most handsome.

[someguyhunter]

great quality vid

[WarRock97]

oh darn that squiggly...

[Rorshock520]

lmao @ 1:41 random 2d spam....

real arakune pro.

[AEonBlue23]

The ending rush was incredible.

[DFenderMan92]

pwnage starts at 2:31

[noodlezx89]

That last rush was something else... left no room for escape at all

[warbandit89]

man this game looks really freaking confusing

[EienXavior]

It's cause they are playing two characters that require a lot more knowledge of the character to win matches.

[Kaisei93]

@EienXavior

I agree with you upon the Rachel part. As for Arakune, I can only say lol cloud curse on block.

[zeonicgeneral]

BEEEEEEEEEES

[locustGRUNDEE]

Ohhh true HD

[XeroRez]

I main Arakune and I was disappointed watching him do 2D over and over and over again. The curse is nice, but you can't rely on it the entire battle. It looked like he was just button pressing to spam minions...

[silverdoggg]

I saw like ONE combo from Arakune the rest was shenanigans

[xxChaxoxx]

Arakune is like.

1 hit , stay afloat in air = WIN

[Afrowasi]

that Arakune was nasty.

[Francois89]

That was a hard fight for arakune.

[ThePieIsFalse]

this fight needed more bees

[Mathman1ac]

many more bees. The bees knees sees.

[asodimu]

is arakune the secret love child of Faust and that ghost thing from spirited away?

[Vaul55]

@asodimu

No Face

[BreakingDragon]

wow that was a boring ass match. that arakune was terrible

[hellzbomber]

He has gotten better...

[gbtygfvyg]

that arakune didn't even use combos, all he did was spam the curse and downward slam.

[chuckchizzle]

yea he did

[JackThrowerofPrinnys]

Yeah he was bad but then again it's kinda hard to pull off his combos against Rachel. Well for me anyway lol ^^;

[gbtygfvyg]

good point, Rachel, Nu, and Jin are assholes to arakune.

[BloodyPuppy]

Well in their defense, Arakune is just an asshole to everyone.

[gbtygfvyg]

this game is barely projectiles, there's only like 2-3 characters that actually use projectiles.

[Negrenade]

Jin, Bang, and v-13

[212809]

Two of the most irritating characters battling each other. >_>

[nicknicksiren]

That was a sweeeeet match. I thought Rachel was gunna throw down in the end, but it turned around :) That was sick. BB ftw

[zerodono]

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Very entertaining match.

[Staroutlawjames]

could these characters be more random

[Silencer565]

welcome to the world of Blazblue...

[Afrowasi]

hahahaha~

[CowboyBebopCrew]

Oh my God... :-O Arakune in that last match was insane...

-JB

[JOmegatube]

he can't even thro his other bugs in the corner trap

[exconvictriddick]

he actually used that cornering technique on rachel. lawlz

[bloodymental]

Only fags say lawlz.

[exconvictriddick]

then ur my subject. i'll stick my fat cock in your ass.

[Kajoshiki]

He got you good, Bloodyfag....lawlz :D

[SoldierPiano]

shit this makes me feel bad -.- my problem isnt not being able to be that good my problem is i main arakune -.- and i have arcade stick. im 14 so i cant really just go out and buy one -.- but ill save up for one but for now... i cant do chain combos T.T

[gpl999]

you don't need an arcade stick. i play with a controller and still fuck kids up

[SoldierPiano]

i play with controller as well T.T and i do fuck people up i just have that thought that

with out a stick its nearly impossible to learn all of his combos or whatever o.o... so if i ever play a nother arakune i wont be able to pll off certain chains -.-

and sorry for my grammar the last comment i meant to say

i dont have a arcade stick-.- and i cant afford one

[Saikanix]

You can still accomplish combos without an arcade stick, it's just much easier with a stick, and in my opinion more fun.

[BSPrince]

@gpl999 Anything wrong with what you just said? Hmmm... you might want to think about that one.

[ZhangHe2369]

off the ground.

[illyillyill]

The combo at 7:27 was just siick.

[ViewtifulxXxMatt]

i wish i can b good with rachel

[asnlunatic]

why wish? why dont you practice?

[ZhangHe2369]

People find it easier to say that they can never be "That" good, and never try. They delude themselves into believing even the most brain dead of BnB's to be technical feats beyond their understanding. Being able to pull stuff (combos techiques etc) off isn't what makes you good, its why you do things that makes you good. Its a game, not rocket science.

[ViewtifulxXxMatt]

well im trying to learn bang now so wishing is all i can do right now. i might try out rachel later on. i know wut u mean though

[Afrowasi]

awesome reply

[bloodymental]

Shutup fag.

[cookiehours]

practice. A LOT.

it really helps.

[Isseinoyuu]

off the ground

[someguyhunter]

this game is a flurry of japanese voices just like melty blood

[zevalin]

you can otg with standing 5b too and its easier than 2b. But yea, I think I'd rather use 3c (although without wind).

[inkblotgod]

I bet they had so much fun animating Arakune. much less rachel. Lots of transformations and stuff XP. When I get this game...imma try arakune first thing!!

[ashimoshuken]

don't, arakune is bad! haha jk :P i just hate arakunes xD

[sablesoul]

Arakune pulled off the perfect trap situation with cloud, bell, and spit bugs at aroun 7:30. The perfect example how he got his top tier rank.

[vdetra]

This Arakune plays a lot like me. o_o

Except I can't pull off combos like 7:27 yet. >_>

[ZhangHe2369]

6a, 5d (hold then release b+c) 9b,9b, 236c (hold c and b, and release when arakune is near the ground) 6c,6c,2c.

[tuber52]

uhhhh, what are you talking about??

[matador26reep]

SF4 sux blazblue is cool

[Blackzero123]

Excuse the last comment that wasn,t me.

[Domura]

Man, sure is a good thing that no one ends up spamming the same move endlessly.

Oh wait.

[vacopolycangus]

This is the craziest shit I've seen in my life. o___o

I really have to try this game out.

[Poxik26]

If an Arakune gets you in a corner and you're cursed, start praying.

[JanembaJanemba]

yup

[cookiehours]

word.

[jdbabyv3]

that looks like a pretty damn good Rachael to me if i may say so i wish i could use her like that

[MyNameIsNotCraig]

Would anyone recommend this game to a novice fighting game player? I find this looks really awesome and I'd love to play it on my 1080p but I don't want to suck shit at it when I jump online.

[Tsuchirinhon]

Many people think of it as an easier version of Guilty Gear. The combo system and mechanics feel very different from Guilty Gear, if only because it's more simplistic.

An easy character to start with is Jin.

[geogaddia]

you can't really avoid sucking, you just need to get familiar with everything and choose a main character, read up on combos and such, it currently comes with a dvd/bluray that is very helpful

[elevate07]

I would highly recommend it to newcomers. Characters like Noel are very easy to jump into and it comes with an instructional dvd that'll show you advanced tactics.

[masonmjames]

I believe this is a good game for someone to really get into the 2D fighting genre, the combo system (though flashy) is much more forgiving than SFIV, and since this game's online capabilities are very promising, I would say go for it!

[ProbablyZack]

its confusing at first, but easy to figure out.

[k4g7]

i find it hard to dodge some of arakunes attacks, and for some reason ALOT of people like to use noell which is very anoying

[CrimsonKing17]

most of my matches have been against Jin, i'm a noel player myself and i love fighting other noels where all they do is spam drive attacks and don't even finish them off properly

[iloveumore145]

ide say the game is predi well balanced with most chracters having there own special fetature ragna can get health back jin can freeze tager can kinda suck people in and attack dash and i wouldnt say its arakune that can press drive and mash butons i think that noel

[doodleboi]

A small and non-hostile suggestion, can you use periods to form sentences? Easier to read.

[onimateria]

I'm liking the character looks and attacks in this game but the sound designer needs to get shot.

Is there a "talk less" option in this game or what?

[JazzSheep]

Yeah, it's really insane how much sound spam can occur when you have two projectile characters fight

[Mirroga]

You can turn off the SE sound options, but you would have a hard time due to muting the damage feedback.

[RyuzakiKaiten]

arakune is so unbalanced...here...lets make a character that once your hit by his drive e can just mash buttons and the other player will be helpless...then again mostly all characters have some unbalanced feature...i guess that make this game balanced?

[WeakArc]

Everybody is unbalanced. Therefore everyone is balanced? I can live with that.

[gehttojay12]

He played a good Arakune but didnt take advantage his Forward strong

[devilscry01]

Arakune= natural spam whore

[LethaLImpuLse]

That's a great arakune player.

[KomboKaze]

nice quality

[artisaucy]

that last min was rough O_O

[HaloAlpha]

7:27 - 7:50 Arakune went straight into BEAST MODE

[s1ms07]

who's the to sol bad guy lookin dude on there?

[TruGraffArtist1]

ragna the bloodedge

[I9IIEIIYIIEIIS]

HOLY FACK!!!!! this game looks awesome!!!!

[harrythegreat1]

this is way to complicated

[tesujimonkey]

wtf is going on in this game

[snakepit000]

After you get the hang of this game, everything makes sense.

[seij555]

The guy using Arakune is a range whore

[kenuty]

he def knows what hes doing though, the corner trapping is nuts, I had an arakune did that to me with my rachel and i barely pushed him back once you're cornered like that its HARD to get out since the choices are limited and he will expect it

[Silencer565]

arakune's corner game is absolutely insane once setup properly. Trick is to NOT let them set it up cause its pretty much game set once they have you in that trap...

[kenuty]

But sf4 players are still trying to get the hang of this, this game is more hardcore than people think, Iam trying to work with rachel and man, this game just blows my mind away

[Blackzero123]

You should play guilty gear it's even more deeper than blaz blue.

[oxXElloXxo]

It has better combos also.

[Blackzero123]

That it does.

[meirus]

Even more deeper? That's... not possible, actually. Nothing can be "Even more deeper" than something else.

[Blackzero123]

It is deeper than blaz blue. They tone down the combos links and made the learning curve much easier this time I can pretty much have i can play 3 characters and be equally good with them.

[Blackzero123]

Well then sir you is a noob ass then.

[k4g7]

...ok smartass we get it

[barnaby72]

looks like someone got a B in freshman english and wants us all to know. it's the internet, pick your battles.

[BetterThanBlack]

It looks like you failed grade school English, you stupid shit. Learn to capitalize. It's the internet, pick your battles.

[meirus]

Oooh, someone's smashing on me when he doesn't even have a mastery over the language to back it up. Yeah, maybe you should be picking your own battles, cause I think you beat yourself in this one.

[barnaby72]

you're so right.  carry on with your crusade.

[badmof077]

Your sentence structure isn't any better. How old are you?...16? You really sound like a douche bag. Years from now you'll look back at this message and realize how stupid you were, DOUCHE BAG!!!

[tairyhesticals]

Dude just shut the fuck up. No one gives a shit. He didnt ask for an english lesson and no one here even cares. Send him a personal message if you care that much, about net talk.

[Mirroga]

That's pretty much the reason why I like Blazblue better than GG. Its easier to learn and get a hold of.

[Blackzero123]

I like it to the only character I use is racheal i still say guilty gear is still better in speed and combos though. But blaz blue still is still growing and it will get better.

[Otahell999]

thats just the reason why i like GG much more than Blazblue....

people really are different.

[RyuzakiKaiten]

this game makes my eyes bleed from the sheer awsomeness

[animefreak780]

what game is this because it looks badass dude

[Vandole]

read the title. its blazblue.

[keyblading13]

IT just came out for 360 and PS3

[daviblight]

blazblue..

[salps3]

they should of made sf4 in those graphics

[JohnnyCage360]

H311fromabove is so awesome, he takes the best character (Arakune) and rapes with him.

[wildfire3969]

Who does Arakune play like, I thought he played like Eddie, but I've heard he plays more like Johnny (which I prefer)

Does anyone know?

[dusk112]

More like Eddie actually

[blindfox003]

really?

when i played Arakune it felt a little like Zappa

[SqueekyBootsShine]

He makes main use of his drive attack, which is kinda like Testaments raven thing, except you can control it more.

[SmartFist]

I want to like this game because I'm a GG fan, but I hate that they carried over the way characters talk too much during a match.

[Fillercharacter13]

Agreed, it makes your ears bleed.

[GamesPlayer1]

that frog makes me laug do hard you don't even understand

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[jankanpo]

what recording setup do you have to record these in HD

[exconvictriddick]

DAMN, ARAKUNE is so brutal.

[sinshenlong]

FEAR ARAKUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
