I remember BananaKen went on a rampage online back when BBCF got rollback, and he's so fun to watch on Kokonoe. Same for Barlowe with Valkenheyn, I miss seeing him play.
i remember seeing him on ranked often a few months ago.. i think after CB i didn't see them online anymore lol If anyone is curious i did fight him and got my ass whooped by him too lol
Bken and I played extensively against each other ever since rollback released, and especially leading up into CB. It's always going to be a great finals when both players are intimately familiar with not only the character matchup, but the player matchup. Winners Finals was an even crazier set if you haven't seen that!
More BlazBlue content yes sir sign me up!!! That was a big crowd for grand finals BananaKen vs Monarch and I hope we can see more like it in the future.
on the jp tier list video they actually said kokonoe was considered the gatekeeper for the truly degen chars. There was a lot of "nah I dont think shes better than koko" kinda thing.
omg this is one of my favorite bbcf top 8's ever. There was this ragna player going crazy and almost beat monarch. I remember seeing him beat bananaken on a online bracket earlier too. He lowkey might be the next blazblue GOAT
I do love become a teen nerd again watching some BB, at least, once every few months, and still finding new tech. is he keeping it fresh? or its cause he present the matches with his hype lenses? maybe its the hat?
@ANIMEILLUMINATI Good video, just wanted to say you don't have to pause/unpause to go frame by frame when going thru a youtube vod. When paused, hit comma for 1 frame back, and period for 1 frame forward.
7:22 I never realized this but you're right. No one plays this stage. 10:42 If we are talking about the turnout, the number of high level players who show up, and view count, CEO, Frosty, and CB are the biggest Blazblue events. Way more than Evo. 13:21 Murakumo players still love the Koko matchup. It's not free, but Koko has to work a lot harder against Nu, Lambda, or Mu vs say, Hibiki or Ragna. 13:48 Here's the thing: After rollback, Bananaken was active in Spooky Tourneys', but disappeared for like a year. So many online and IRL events happened without BK. Then literally a month or two before CB2023, BK goes up against a bunch of online gods, holds his own, and then wrecks Monarch in CB (Not in any way to speak ill of Monarch, he will destroy any of us. BK was just able to handle the onscreen chaos more at GF) 17:32 We talk alot in Discord about tiers, Es is more stable, easier to use.... but characters like Koko, Izayoi, etc have cheaper shit to deal with. And depending on who you ask, Koko is top 5 or 6 (Es and Koko are easy top 10 for me, but anyone after the four gods gets weird in terms of placement.) 19:03 I will never feel bad for getting TRM'd again.
Wasnt this stage typically banned in evo because its one of those infinite stages technically? Because of the fact that its difficult to judge how close you are to the corner on either side since the backgrounds dont move so that kinda messes with players’ neutral and setups, so this one and BLUE are typically not allowed for both netplay and tournaments.
I think most tierlists are severely outdated and at least in europe folks seem to agree that Kokonoe was misplaced and is a top tier contender. But then again differentiating High and top tier is pretty difficult in this games, as the high tiers are super buff too. Also I just have to come through with the Kagura Propaganda: He could have c-fafnird all layers of those mixups, except for those that include going away from the opponent. If you are a fan of microdashes, he also got those to make combos more consistent and work across the entire cast. (mostly when using b-fafnir)
Was trying to get into blazblue recently since it looks super fun, but was having issues where every single online match would crash. Basically makes the game unplayable for me which sucks because from what I've seen and played it's super fun.
Always get this game and gran blue crossed up. Hope you do some coverage of granblue fantasy vs. it’s coming out soon and you’re my favorite fighting game content creator to learn from.
Arc should see all the love still but they focus on Guilty Gear Strive more currently. With luck all the interest and players not happy with the Bloodrayne: Betrayal- style new BB will get them to see BB is still profitable as it has been since Day 1. What I'd love is an internal crossover- BB vs GG with the roster voted on by the playerbase as it would reunite the two IPs since BB was first and while Sega held the IP from Arc, Arc went and made GG in response after all 😋
1:38 The popcorn baron was in the back left corner of where this Top 8 was. It was good, and they had some crazy flavors, but that line was LONG long! I wish they had smaller 'try me' bags so I could find good flavors faster, but it is what it is. Definetly worth trying!
@@ANIMEILLUMINATI I had the cotton candy and one other sweet one that I forget, but they were both great! My gf tried some of the spicy ones, but they weren't as good. Beware the white devil flavor btw, that thing is legit dangerous >.>'
I remember watching BK's streams around the time and he grinded the absolute fuck out of the game when he won combobreaker after that you can't blame him for burning out on the game. He's fully dedicated to getting good at SF6 now. Surely once Mori drops his next game all the animeheads will converge back
it makes a change to see Monarch pressured as usually he's way too OP and just facerolls everyone so to see him actually get to show his skills against an opponent as experienced and talented as himself
I don't get Monarch not picking lambda. Lambdas zoning is so good at shutting down Kokonoe's set-ups and her 22D beats so much of her wake up set ups too. As a Lambda main that also plays Kokonoe I know she is good against her
I've tried, it's not a good matchup for the sword Murakumo's. Kokonoe's gravitons influence sword placements too heavily, and set up easy whiff punishes for her. This also isn't considering other threats like fullscreen 236[A] (safe on block if not IB'd), graviton > teleport, graviton > fireball etc. Also, properly timed meaties and setups beat 22D outright, so you can't rely on that either. Overall, too much mental stack when the risk/reward skewed towards Kokonoe.
Its always Blazblue and GG that gets my attention, even if I do get busy. Some of these characters are hilarious and broken to look at. Its amazing. I still love Hakumen
@@ANIMEILLUMINATI hahaha. You should also checkout Lost Saga. Its an old korean game with plenty of crossovers. They had Blazblue Guilty Gear and kof crossovers. This game would baffle you from how its set up. Old zoomer game
I also want to see monarch play against some of the older heads in this. Ive seen him play aginst both jona and bananaken (through you of course). I also want to see him play some of the newer games or at least play some games where international competition is involved. There are just some things im not convinced of just yet. Monarchs defense is crazy, but is that only in this game? Ive seen monarch play against some stiff competition but never the *top* tiers. Definitely not trying to take away anything away from monarch. Hes earned it, but there are some questions that needs answers. For instance, can he take on a justin wong or daigo? Can he take on omito? Just some food for thought. Need more bb content. Id love to see either azrael, susano or hakumen match covered at the highest level
@@ANIMEILLUMINATI man I wish I was not around for the tournament I’m an 09 netplay monster stream monster i don’t like to go to events and I missed both physically and mentally the best eras of blazblue. I remember 2012 blaze blue locals before we blazed hell I imported blaze blue cp from Japan off my mom’s credit card as a young-in and if I had my choice it would be the sef6 of the fgc
@@ANIMEILLUMINATI i am not going to lie i feel like a fake jubei main now me and the boys hadn’t even heard it, goes incredibly hard. Thank you for letting me know about it!
Can they please make a new BlazBlu, so I can play it? The character variety is crazy in this game, from my view, and the matches always look cracked af. I always like the videos before watching, but this one makes me sad, I'm missing out 😫😫
I feel like Jiyuna hit the nail on the head for why I feel like I like Xrd better than CF, it's cuz it feels like all but the most broken characters are based around laggy ass arcade monitors. Azrael's 5D is his main mixup option and it's well within the window of reaction, being 21 frames, and because that's considered fast he needs a weakpoint or meter to combo off it. Meanwhile throw in GG is just universally not a reactable mix, and it's especially not dealt with with such a godlike OS they had to add an entire system mechanic to make sure it didn't make throwing literally useless lol
yet gauntlet hades is still hard to block lol, 21f with no frame 1 telegraph is only consistently reactable if you have very little mental stack or incredible defense like monarch
@@tdwl2802 That's the thing though, you saw on this channel that Monarch was just like the king of blocking and BananaKen was hitting him because he was playing one of the characters in the game that doesn't actually have to care about your defense. It's an unfortunate remnant of the era it was designed in that they relied on cab delay for balancing and you can def feel it on some of the characters like Ragna and stuff lol
@@rachetmarvel931 Well one the point is that Gauntlet Hades is not hard to block period. It's a 24f overhead with a reactable animation and a loud voice line, and 6B is just as slow. This means you need to rely on throw, but even throw is borderline reactable in a 0 delay environment, which is because it wasn't unreactable when you had to play with like 5 frames of arcade lag. Now there is a clear gap between characters who have pure 50/50s and characters who have to rely on their reactable options or easily OS'd and still technically reactable throw
@@NeoBoneGirl Gauntlet is 20f not 24f. Throw tech window is 15f which is only reactable if the only option your opponent has represented for the entire match is throw. Mental stack is a thing which interferes with reaction time y'know
15:17 hell no, god i hate microdashes. It's not that i hate difficult inputs, i play +R I-No at high level, but i hate having difficult execution when it's not for something that looks cool. Moving a millimeter forward is not cool or hype at all. That's the main reason why I don't play Blazblue, it's full of little things like that that just rubs me backwards.
@@icekiller1594 Really? Is it really microdashes? If you don't know that microdashes exist, you wouldn't even notice them happening while Naoto does a combo.
@Rhannmah I mean, microdashes are literally how you get Naotos enhance special moves. So yeah,it's pretty his gimmick. The way you are complaining you would think you need microsashes to play ever character,lol. Anyway Blazblue CF isn't for everybody, especially the feint of heart,but I still feel it's Arcsys best game, especially gameplay wise.
@@rachetmarvel931 That's not the point, the original comment said that microdashes is what makes characters like Naoto so much fun to watch. Something that you can't even see unless you're already extremely knowledgeable about the game.
Es not cheap with that j.C? At least chars like valk take a risk to get in, she has not only the best fireball in the game but also the best fireball to run behind in the game for a free skip neutral. Too many things she didn't need. 6A randomly has foot invul. Corner to corner from any stray hit. Abnormally large DP (air ok for some reason). Why does is j.BB exist. What is up with those ground buttons. Yes she isn't izanami carl litchi rachel but don't tell me she isn't cheap. JP exists so Ken is fine and honest? bro is just playing footsies? I only have a few years under my belt so I'd appreciate any replies to lmk what I'm getting wrong.
6A is not even worth mentioning when talking about her strong tools. She is the most solid all-around character with Jin, but still an "All-around" type character instead of one that's focused on 1-2 cheap mechanics.

dude same, even more so since he got me to play bbcf
Yup. Like that monkey - sees BBCF… neuron activation. 🐵
See you in 6 months.
@@ANIMEILLUMINATI I'm waiting
When kokonoe hides behind a massive laser snd teleports behind the enemy it's fair.
But when arakune does it, everyone loses their minds.
BAN ARAKUNE
@@ANIMEILLUMINATII AGREE
The difference is, Kokonoe is hot, so she gets a free pass

the best fighting game still, 8 years later.
RIP jubei guide.
Still the best...
Always love the jumpscare Blazblue video coming out.
Need more tournaments.

Never played blazblue so you know how hyped I am to see the character Jiyunas been talking about like crazy
First......
Jiyuna back with another Blazblue Video.
4 months late. 😂
I was b4
Appreciate the continued BBCF coverage. I will always watch these.
BBCF will never die, never thought I'd end up here after starting with UNIST but I just keep coming back

Really glad you finally covered this! Love Kokonoe and was really happy to finally see her win something. Bananaken is a legend!
I miss fenrich so much man. I never realised how much i would miss the players. I still like watching blazblue, but it's just not the same.
I would actually go crazy for a new blazblue fighting game, seeing matches always makes me miss this game
It wouldn't be the same...
@@ANIMEILLUMINATI we can only hope man but hopefully it would be a faithful reboot/ sequel to cf if arcsys did even decide to do that
Guilty Gear Strive looks to be Arc's focus of their two IPs as BlazBlue got that odd Bloodrayne: Betrayal- style game recently
I see Blazblue, I click
"I forgot" dementia setting in. You hate to see it.
It happens to all of us...
omg this is one of my favorite bbcf top 8's ever. There was this ragna player going crazy and almost beat monarch. I remember seeing him beat bananaken on a online bracket earlier too. He lowkey might be the next blazblue GOAT
Thanks for explaining all the crazy shit that was going on this match Junior, this game is crazy at high level.
I swear every bbcf video becomes "it's broken, it's not fair. Can't predict it. Love this game guys" 😂
i have never and will never play this game but i will watch every blazeblue video
It's a good game.
i miss the blazblue videos especially the guides those were fun to watch

@@icekiller1594 Really? Is it really microdashes? If you don't know that microdashes exist, you wouldn't even notice them happening while Naoto does a combo.
Yeah, I don't think they belong in every game, but they definitely give Blazblue a unique flavor.
@Rhannmah I mean, microdashes are literally how you get Naotos enhance special moves. So yeah,it's pretty his gimmick.
The way you are complaining you would think you need microsashes to play ever character,lol.
Anyway Blazblue CF isn't for everybody, especially the feint of heart,but I still feel it's Arcsys best game, especially gameplay wise.
@@rachetmarvel931 That's not the point, the original comment said that microdashes is what makes characters like Naoto so much fun to watch.
Something that you can't even see unless you're already extremely knowledgeable about the game.
Es not cheap with that j.C? At least chars like valk take a risk to get in, she has not only the best fireball in the game but also the best fireball to run behind in the game for a free skip neutral.
Too many things she didn't need.
6A randomly has foot invul. Corner to corner from any stray hit. Abnormally large DP (air ok for some reason). Why does is j.BB exist. What is up with those ground buttons.
Yes she isn't izanami carl litchi rachel but don't tell me she isn't cheap. JP exists so Ken is fine and honest? bro is just playing footsies?
I only have a few years under my belt so I'd appreciate any replies to lmk what I'm getting wrong.
6A is not even worth mentioning when talking about her strong tools. She is the most solid all-around character with Jin, but still an "All-around" type character instead of one that's focused on 1-2 cheap mechanics.
