    This is game is so fun. The only flaw is its roster size, and even that is a poor argument considering its a new title that has no similar characters. #blazblueportable

    @Kapwan:

    -long throw break window (~8 frames?, fastest poke is 5 frames. you can basically poke out of any throw making it useless outside of carl's clap trap. there is also throw break buffering which makes throws even more useless [except against people who mash recovery and terrible scrubs, who you really don't even need to throw to win]... Read More
    -slow pokes (going back to the 4-5 frame poke thing. you can basically jump out of every mix-up or pressure string since pokes are so slow. also making you be able to block 90% of attacks without fd in the air without tension means even scrubs can jump out of any pressure string, unlike in gg you would have a risk/reward of losing tension and eating meaty anti airs if you tried to jump out of shit
    -3 way roll (another way to help scrubs who don't know how to block oki wakeup games by removing it completely)
    -zoning (top tier characters are too good at zoning and pressure except carl[who will fucking kill you off a 5a], whereas most of the cast can only do shit once they up close. either make pure zoning characters or pure rushdown. characters with both will obviously unbalance game
    -There are lots more character specific shit that I don't feel like getting into.

    I wouldn't say roster size is the only flaw... #blazblueportable

    @Shiryu: Tatsunoko vs Capcom has a very nice celshaded rendering, which utilizes quite some TEV stages the Wii offers (TEV stages are basically "hard-wired shaders", which basically do the same thing as the freely programmable shaders of modern GPUs, just a bit more limited and a lot more tedious to program for).

    The PSP's hardware doesn't offer that much flexibility in terms of pixel-level rendering, unfortunately. That's also a reason why Valkyria Chronicles 2 on the PSP doesn't have the celshaded style of the first game (they didn't even implement at least outlines). #blazblueportable

    i bought my psp for street fighter alpha 3 and tekken dark resurrection many moons ago.. and man do those controls suck.

    i absolutely loathe the analog nub, and the way the dpad sinks in on the psp makes it unusable for precise fighting.

    i have mvs and cps2 emulators on my psp, and man does it make me mad to try and play seriously. so yeah its possible.. but not all that fun (cept powerstone.. that game was great on the psp). #blazblueportable
