I'm sorry if this question has already been asked but how would you set up controls on an arcade stick for this game? The default controls are okay for now but I'd like to see what you guys would recommend.

in the arcade version you get to choose between type a and type b.

type a is snk style:

(B) (C) (D)
(A) (x) (x)

type b is melty blood style:

(A) (B) (C)
(D) (x) (x)

just choose whichever you feel is most comfortable.

GG Style Quash
(A) (C) (C+B)
(B) (D) (X)

^GG used the rainbow layout, not a block.

Man, BB is way fun. I can see why it's so played in Japan land now.

Yeah it is great fun. But playing ranked is getting boring, we need more VFDC rooms going on

Theres even talk on dustloop about how Arakune and v-13 should have their damage adjusted haha. They both can be frustrating as hell to play against. I guess both of them have such a great zoning game and damage that equals whatever you can do once you get in close.

for what it's worth as a hakumen player, i think the biggest problem with arakune is that he can re-mark you at the end of his combos. his damage output isn't all that out of whack so i don't think the proration on his moves needs to be all that more aggressive.

nu, on the other hand...

Would the fact that she doesn't have very much defense make up for her high damage potential from a distance. That might be the reason damage for her wasn't scaled down very much. This is soully speculation however

I'm surprised how much bitching they are doing on Dustloop... V-13 has high damage but she's not easy to use. Her bigger attacks have long start-ups so she's vulnerable to counters -- and counter hits are really dangerous in this game.

If I stab you for a counter with Rachel's "Fork and Knife" move, I get a free combo that can be huge if I can pull it off. If I can combo into the frog (George the XIII) or catch you with more than one lightning rod at once, you're hurting bad.

I agree that the game is very fun... People are starting to throw a lot more which raising the level of difficulty big time. I played some good Taokakas that used their throws well and it really kept me on my heels the whole match because Rachel really does have to block a lot. Also, like someone said before in this thread, there's a whole level of strategy just using barrier block that I haven't mastered yet at all...

I'm sure I've heard this before but about another game.

He says it about every single game there is, it's like the boy who cried wolf except it's that guy that says every game is good.

Or something like that.
