Wait a second...

[TheLLawliet25]

[jaketheironman]

You had me at sprinkled with crack

[nivakk]

Check out that video " Best fighting game of 2010 Mugen GrodX " 8 people fighting simultaneously fighting on screen!!! at the same time!!! O.o

[MrChigiz]

Great review in three parts. Really helped in my decision to buy the game and i didn´t regret it so far. For me the game isn´t as good as street fighter, but it is a lot of fun. Keep on going :=)

[saysomethincute]

Here we have Knoll Vermillion-

[BlazBlueFTW]

I am enjoying this game very much right now the only problem I have with the game is how much they SWEAR I mean Ragna says shit about 50 times in the first part of the story.

[vnano]

@BlazBlueFTW Does it matter how much they swear?

[kairnaxion]

@BlazBlueFTW Unfortunately that's just what most people are like these days...

[gazawayandre]

I think this is superb fun its often played frequently at the weekends with my friends they are absolutely brilliant at it. I was lucky enough to get the game utterly free for my sony ps3 from - 115 games . com they have literally thousands and the best thing is they are all free oh i almost forgot 2:10 to 2:50 was sterling

[metalmayhem007]

damn this game got delayed 2 more weeks than when i was expecting, in UK :(

[SolWannabe]

@metalmayhem007 did you finally get it ? I got it for 45 quid

[metalmayhem007]

@SolWannabe yeah i did get it, i got limited edition for £34 from amazon (with 1st class post)

[metalmayhem007]

hows the online on this game like on PSN? i am 1 step away from ordering, but i will play it online only because my brothers are into sf :o

[Eelf2]

the online is very good. rarely a bad connection. a few lags but it fixes itself before you actually fight. i suggest if u get this game or already have it to play online definatly. but first pick a character ur really good at then try online because their are master users out there. Im a RAGNA user but im no master, im just a pro which is nothing to other pros or masters.

[metalmayhem007]

@Eelf2 ok thanks for the info, just ordered Ltd edition for PS3 =) , should have it by next week.

Do you have a psn?

[Eelf2]

Yea its CunningElf. although currently i lent my friend borrow it. however ill get it back by the end of this coming week.

[rizooey]

did anyone notice that hakumen doesnt have a storyline?!?!

[xDXPxJOEx456x1]

he dose u just have to beat everyone elses story to unlock it

[ZeroVirus77]

Actually, you only need to complete two stories from what I've seen.

I 100%'d Bang's and Carl's and Hakumen's was unlocked.

[CanadianSoldier67]

@rizooey Hakumen does have a storyline, as well as v-13

[XKillerX2]

Great video.

[bugsymelone3]

when is it coming to EU? I heard it was

[Papsmore412]

I really can't say. But this game is definately worth importing. Don't give it a second thought if you're unsure of your region's release.

[BRADKI1LA]

Im sold im going to buy it

[badassrover]

great review man is you like this game and street fighter 4 get battle fantasia and king of fighters 12 each of them are out for the xbox 360 and can be cheap to get on ebay

[Anhe3k]

Thanks for the great video

[FlowFrasier]

arakune looks alot like the shadows in Persona

[shuujin008]

But seriously....you gotta learn how to pronounce the names...-_-''

[kenuty]

I seriously hope your not some white weaboo kid who just told a japanese/viet on how to prounce character names, I'll do it the way i like to because I have an accent anyways it'll sound the same even if i tried. Thanks and sf4 is not garbage considering it's hotter than Blazblue in japan. Blazblue is only fun I never said it was something I kept playing.

[shuujin008]

..."BluBlaz.....?" Editing bro.....editing....and street fighter 4 is fucking garbage...

[barakHobama]

i jerk off to noel vermilin

[atreyu25]

Fu Rin Ka Zan is the best move in the whole game! Hit Bang's drive 4 times, and then do his 214214D distortion. :D

Or look up Bang Install :))

[ilovemaryam08]

is this game better than street fighter 4??? it looks like it. i have played all the street fighter games. SF4 is the better than SF2 but not as good as alpha 3 or 3rd strike

[atreyu25]

It actually depends on taste. While they may be both fighting games, they really shouldn't be compared because they are 2 completely different games. What you're asking is if tetris is better than puzzle bobble.

Well anyways I loved SF3, i LIKED SF4, but currently right now, the combo heavy style of BlazBlue have me hooked. Its a game where you can experiement to learn combos. It's really different, but the best part are all the characters are completely differnt. No Akuma/Ryu/Ken shit going on

[ilovemaryam08]

Thanks i really cant wait to get this game. thanks for your opinion I'm just happy that there are so many good fighting games(Blaze blue, tekken 6, SF4) coming out as of late. its been a decade sence somthing new came to consoles. Now microsoft just needs to design a controller that is good for fighting games, then ill be in heaven.

[atreyu25]

You should actually invest in an arcade stick. Just a tip if you buy for the 360, dont buy the standard street fighter 4 stick unless you plan on modding it.

[ilovemaryam08]

where do i look for a arcade stick? i want to get a good one. aslong as the price doest exceed 200 buck. im down.

[atreyu25]

You can get a decent one on amazon for about 50 bucks. But if you want the best without modding it, go to your local video game store and ask for a SF4 Tournament edition stick.

[lilogdeeze1]

guitly gear spin off if u ask me about this game

[silenthillmaster755]

...its the same publisher.

[JessicaAngel22]

WAY WAY BETTER

[AlienMunkie16]

damn i didn't even need to put this in hq, it looks fucking great without it.

[CrazyHomeMan]

but i do understand why you nerds are loving it so much. because you know when u pop in something like KOF97 just the different kinds of jump will take you years to figure. like the IGN guy said, KOF is not as user friendly and get blazblue instead. thats right, because hes a big noob just like you

[Therio1]

I enjoy both KoF and Blazblue wtf are you on about

[CrazyHomeMan]

LOL`` to all blazblue nerd fan out there. i do suck in this game and i have no intention of getting better at it. because this game is bullshit. ragna combos doesnt even hurt as much as a hakumen C button. and by the time you figure out how to approach V13 ur 10%HP left. oh and by the way, none of you guys can kill me when im on jin. i never lose an online match but fighting jin with no practice at all. this is a game that makes people who spend time practicing look like a tard.

[KonnerDean]

Oh CrazyHomeMan, you will never learn.

You didn't badmouth the game, you basically just badmouthed yourself.

[hypergoku06]

So you just said your an ultra-cheap scrub who doesn't have the brain power to muster together a half-decent combo... and that makes the game suck?

Wow, your a douche bag.

[mtgvideo]

This game is really bad. Really really bad.

[braindead2000]

Alright. I'm sick of this Ice Spammer bullshit talk.

Listen, if you lose to a spammer: YOU SUCK. It's not the game.

[braindead2000]

By the way, this is directed towards most of the comments. Not the review.

[CrazyHomeMan]

such an anime nerd talk review.. this game has no balance at all, Jin the ice spamming wins all, special move and ulti can be trigger with a single button, this is a noob, kid, spammer game. very pointless

[iluvdancing731]

You must suck if ice spammers give you trouble (Try Taokaka, she kills them)

[Ghost1170]

I can easily kill Jin's with Harumen

[kenuty]

anime nerd talk? this was a review to showcase the game you've mistaken, and I been playing Marvel vs capcom 2. I only do reviews to show people what the game is like. Argue the balance among yourselves. Spamming in Mvc2 is worst lol but still fun. The one button bs doesn't work on rank plays. and spamming jin are easy because they do the same combo, block, press back twice on one of his hit and just counter. Theres no such thing as perfect balance in any fighting game.

[Shadowysights]

You suck, It take two seconds to get out of ice, alternatively you can break break it. All in all though, you can make the ice break faster as well. So no, its not the game, you suck.,

[KanjiShinful]

@CrazyHomeMan

you do know that ice car is the most unsafe move jin can use since it leaves him open to any attack on block. then again only srubs spam moves in fighters.

[AristrumAMV]

@CrazyHomeMan

proble becuz you cant play it,lots off people that cant play game's like these ar talking like this.

[Maxcloudy]

i really really want this game but the ps3 versions are all sold out except the 360 wtf...I thought ppl favor the 360 online better. I dunno when the store will re-stock this game for ps3 . (i don't have a 360 sadly..)

[Justsmoke42O]

Thats because the 360 controller would be a nightmare to play this with (and i own both...but i would never purchase this for my 360)

[KOKID83]

Good review ok i play SF4 this is the only fighting game that im interested in besides sf4 because i love the og 2d fightstyle and its looks and fights better than kof12 to me . question what is the difference bettwen the mechanics of sf4 to blazblue? and can you use the sf4 fightstick to play this game?

[DanYM2021]

Litchi is hawt... ill lend her my staff wen ever she wants.......lol

[Draken4426]

i hope this gets released in europe

[BUCK3TM4N]

aw i have no money for all these great fighters argggggggggggggggggggggggggggg­gghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hh

[money272]

lol when you say blueblaz :D

[dxvolt]

as a longtime fan of this genre like myself i can't dig this game. Too much japanese and anime look a like for my taste. I'll stick with SF, KOF and Tekken6

[zenosuke14]

i hate to break it to u but BlazBlue is better than KoF 12. thge battle mechanics are better and so is the story considering it.... u know..... HAS one

[dxvolt]

ok I understand you're point but I prefer Kof.

[DanYM2021]

i have to agree on that..... im a KoF fan since along time since lik KoF gameboy... it looks ok but idk its so slow and the buttons are horrible.... so i exchanged it for BlazBlue... its deff better than KoF 12 but not better than ST4....... i hope they make a good fighting game like marvel VS capcom.... those were the days

[ichigokun90]

this game totally rocks

[xdbuix]

2009= great year for fighting games.

that's all im going to say lol.

king of fighters, street fighter 4, blazblue, and Tekken 6.

life is great

[PimpSlappaz]

dont forget Marvel vs Capcom 2!!!!!

[sakealex]

great quality

[runiteboy]

so are you 'kenuty' or 'kenutty' really? XD

[YoungWarhammer]

Nice review man c: I'll subscribe.

[heyjeySigma]

beautiful review man, I love ur fluency and speech delivery, real enjoyable to listen to, keep it up! =)

[KaydanAidan]

Dude where are you learning you stuff? Was it duct soup...btw your review pwns.....

[MrAgentorange82]

wen u master the combos, can u make a combo tutorial bcuz i have trouble with jump canceling which is a big part of the game in my opinion.

[kenuty]

The combos are on dustloop forum, Really can't teach you from sheer practice to be honest, the only way you will learn is to practice until it hits you naturally. Even if i made a combo tutorial it'll do no good however since you asked i might be able to pull off the combos listed on dustloop forums since its all there.

[rocktheflow]

isn't it just an air dash?

[Ultracool432]

Awesome review ^_^ I cant wait to get this game ;O

[Volgarath]

opera with heavy metal with a bit of crack on the side LOL

[topdawg122]

Dude this is a great review, much better than most gaming sites for sure.(G4!)

[Retrodesperado]

Nice review! You keep me intrested =)

[envisionpower]

great review, keep up the good work ! five stars.

[NortherndragonAxel]

In my opinion this game is better than SF4 i played SF4 way b4 this game came out and i hated it =/ i thought fighting games were not my thing at all and then i got this game and it blew my mind this game got me into fighting games i luv it ^.^

[rocktheflow]

I really like SF4, it's incredibly complex in higher-level play. That's not to say this isn't - but I think both games offer something for any fighting enthusiast :)

[MastodonManiac]

Great vids, indepth and well spoken!

[redoubt9000]

LOL at the annotation...I thought it said "not BlueBallz. >_>

[thehouseofhoops]

This game is awesome. In some ways it's better than SF4 and I love SF4.

[insaneangelstudio]

you should've rendered it in squared pixels no fields, you get all those lines when there's a lot of movement.

Nice review BTW It really got me into buying the game Cheers.

[kenuty]

what lines? i don't see what you are talking about but i'll definently keep this in mind

[insaneangelstudio]

pause at any moment with movement ,you'll see the image separated in 2 line fields each one containing a specific frame, computers render the image line by line while tvs render in fields.

[Fatkillz]

Hey can you change the Voice acting into Japanese? Not that i hate the English I just have my preferences.

[ThePsychoCrusher89]

yes you can, he says it on the video. Great review btw.

[mindf1ow]

Excellent video dude. Surpreme quality also! Keep this up! Also, you ARE not screwed with v-13 if somebody is close. :) She's my fav character.

[kenuty]

oh trust me lol pros who knows how to get in close and counter v13 are there

[byebye121]

Bangs drive = O F**K he is flying

[spaceballkrs1]

this is way less frantic than GG looooots of control very fun.

[jaciavarella]

Great video and intro to the game, thanks, can't wait for it to come in the mail on Tues.

[dcg2549]

better review then ign

great video man

[slashlk]

awesome quality man. thanks!

[CruxisFire]

This game is amazing. I was surprised how great the story mode was, and I was actually quite pleased with the English voice work, namely for Ragna, Carl and Tager. I was a Guilty Gear fanboy though, so I guess I'm biased. I'm proud to be as good as I've been, but I'm still not getting a lot of great ideas for combos for online.

[thorton]

Unreal Quality Kenuty, you're the man.

[Ghostpowder]

3 words "Best Quality Ever"

[DjFrizzle]

the game looks good..wow. Arakune looks like a character from Spirited Away...

-FRizZ

[artisaucy]

arakune kinda does lol..i gotta get this game!

[XGunnerX]

cant wait to get this game

[darkfireflames]

Ok which to buy this or sf4? I ahd street fighter 4 for about 3 weeks and loved it but friends wanted it back. Was planning to rebuy it next week but im loving this. Sure theres buy one now and the other later but will this games online even last?

[kenuty]

Both are equally good, ps3 and 360 are gonna hop on pc version with usb compatibility, its on steampowered for 35 dollars! these games last for a while, good players will stay bad players will get bored and leave its the way it is but the tournament scene lives. I still play sf4 and reviewing pc version on july 7 when it comes out

[Writtenjustice]

Your review is very good.

You're a great orator!

You're also completely correct.

[darkfireflames]

does this game have challenges like in street fighter 4 where they taught you how to do combos chained to ultimates and supers ect and the useful moves for the characters?

[Hndshks]

They have a training mode called "Teach me, Boobie Lady". The name alone makes it better than challenge mode.

[kenuty]

Those are just mini stories lol, I unlocked em all or what not mini episodes, they call it Teach me miss litchi in the u.s version

[kenuty]

trying one more time dunno if you recieved reply,

youtube/EscapingJa1l has basics combos up, but other than that the game is pretty hardcore cant think of it like sf4 lol the chaining and super things, especially astral finish are not used alot since its hard to pull off

[RandomUser402]

Kickass game. I rarely buy games at full price, let alone fighting games, but I caved for BlazBlue. All I have to say is that it was worth every penny and is a purchase that I don't regret. And for once, the extras packaged with Limited Edition aren't completely useless! The bonus DVD with individual character strategies + commentary and combos is pretty nifty.

[kenuty]

AGREED You're Money is worth the replayability and fun I mean Thats why I love making these reviews for people who are just doubtful, new, or just plain don't understand why How this game is great by breaking it down to even the basics ;)

[Hero00]

wow man nice review, thx! this game looks like the type of game i'd wanna be the best in, and just be famous online! As soon as I get the money to buy this im gettin it! Ragna, Jin, Lichi (sexy), and V-13 would prolly be my fav characters.

and btw, who was the guy in the opening with the red and green eyes?

[kenuty]

Hes just a sidestory char, some of the char you see are just sidestories chars backup, I should post story mode sometimes too! this game is pretty hot right now

[MentalNut]

Wow, just found out its not out in europe =(

[kenuty]

Yeah lol U.S just got ours yesterday limited editions. I think the standard edition comes out july 28 unless I am wrong since all the places i know are completely sold out.

[vdr00g]

I ordered PS3 version via UK eBay this monday. Let's see how fast it will get here.

[kenuty]

Grats ;)

[vdr00g]

It's not that I'm proud or something. I just wanted to say that the problem has a solution if you own a PS3. God bless region free discs!

[kenuty]

No you should be proud bro, You're buying a damn great game is what I'am Saying its worth the money put in

[cjlocy2]

Great review! I got the game yesterday and i just love it so much! Any way cant wait 4 part 2, and if you dont mind me asking, but who's your top 5 characters

[kenuty]

If I have to think about it right now I would say

Rachel, V-13, Carl, Arukane, Taokaka

[cjlocy2]

Cool mine would be

V-13, Taokaka, Rachel, Noel, and Jin.

[MentalNut]

really intrested in this game, is it easy to pick up and play being used to sf4? or will it take a while to adjust?

[OurWillLivesOn]

Its very different than sf4. It takes a little bit of time to get used to

[kenuty]

Took me a day to adjust!

[wowamonster2]

like it very much :) you've just got yourself a sub my friend

[kenuty]

well what the hell, thanks I wish HD comes up faster so you can really see the actual graphics this is High Def

[supernaut669]

good review!

[kenuty]

Thanks man still going I got part 2 being encoded right now so it takes a bit it's got multiplayer too ;)
