BlazBlue 051009 - Kaqn(Ragna) vs. Dora(Bang)

Kaqn(Ragna) vs. Dora(Bang)

[@aragorn56kingger6]

I wouldn't know that Blazblue existed without watching Kaqn. Playing like Kaqn in Calamity Trigger is what I wanted to do.

[@aznargo]

"SHURIKEN SPECIAL!" Man, this was intense! I love Kaqn's Ragna... but damn, Dora is just incredible.

[@Nubsta5]

The combo at 9:15 is amazing. I love watching these matches.

[@stryflyer]

Dora goes boss mode and cross-ups the entire world when you watch this.

[@lipucd]

EVERY ROUND IS BANG INSTALL! One of the better one's I've seen period.

[@Dreikoo]

This is seriously the best vid i've seen so far...who needs all those top tier arakune spamvids where you can't see which of the 5 projectiles hits when you have a ninja attacking and dashing to attack from the other side before the first attack has traveled at all :D.

[@Morikub0]

I love how at 11:42 Dora gets knocked back and then it looks like Kaqn is thinking, "Aw shit, get there before the 4 seals! Don't do it!"

[@Ceryn1126]

9:10 is seriously one of the most epic Furinkazan combos I have ever seen.

[@Chimerathon]

Holy crap, that Furinkazhan at 9:09 marked the start of a fantastic asswhuppin.

[@Marceles45]

omg...this has to be the most epic match i've ever seen. Dora's Bang is genius...damn

[@Shinkada]

That Dora guy is fucking nuts. Awesome player. He's almost good enough to make me actually excited for Blazblue. ... Almost.

[@CrimsonSnow]

Thing is, Kaqn had prolly assumed since Dora installed and had been using some barrier that it wouldn't be a guard crushing burst when he did it. It had only recently fully recovered when Dora used it.

[@Blackheart6665555]

When I first saw this match I thought WHOA! this incredible. Then I saw Kaqn and Dora fight in CS I saw true blazblue gameplay

[@SpanishFly120]

Holy crap, CT. Ah Blazblue, how you've changed over the past 3 years.

[@ManowarHeigou]

Dora and Kaqn 2 of the best going at it. Its frightening to imagine how good Dora Bang is now that hes godly as fuck and has better damage output in CS.

[@KrsJin]

If the opponent is blocking, a burst will effect their guard meter. Depending on how much barrier the bursting player has and the situation they're in (being hit, guarding, normal state), they will do more damage to the guard meter depending.

[@malakyoma]

but also, like i said, since theres only twelve characters they will be seperated into tiers if never settled into place but you will see them all in touraments and such. arakune V13 and Rachel may be more common than others but youll always see tager bang taokaka and everyone else played.

[@RakeBone]

@xBrizzyaNx Astrals require 100% heat, a barrier burst resever, the opponent being at 20% health, as well as the round being the deciding round for a victor. These conditions are generally not met when fighting someone of similar skill level and often times heat guage is used for rapid canceling or distortions. In cases like Carl, it is very hard to decide whether or not the astral is benifital or detrimental where as characters like Jin; u can easily follow up an astral after a freeze.

[@Domna7]

Yeah im with you for this one, the game is still brand new but i f i got to do a tier list based on the skills and potential of the characters i would say : 1/. Taokaka (lol im serious, i ve yet to see someone really push it to its full potential and i ve great hope for this one, ) 2/. Arakune (no comment...) 3/.Carl (see dio....)

[@AthenaWyrm]

Press A, B, or C during the auto-guard portion of one of Bang's Drive attacks. A teleports a short distance away, B is slightly farther than A, and C teleports farther than B.

[@DeaconHyral]

8.42 A combo that fills Bang's Furinkazan from the beginning??? Damn...

[@HARPZ121]

When Dora uses that special to go gold not many players would be able to last as long as Kaqn did. Well done to both of them.

[@malakyoma]

i think every character can beat every other character in the hands of a good player. your right about dio's carl but ive seen other great players with other characters like doras Bang and buppa's Jin. theres so many good players it will be hard to lay down a definate tier list

[@FearCarlos]

I gave this game a try today at the arcade and I have to admit,I was impressed. I waited like 2 weeks to try it cuz is always full O_O

[@AdAce21]

Wow, awesome Bang.

[@KrsJin]

The Bang player broke Ragna's guard with the burst.

[@Domna7]

best bang i ve seen till now. almost top tier ^^

[@Domna7]

Yup you're right, he doesnt let you the time to breath lol. thx for the info ^^.

[@hazeddon]

That was nice, ive got to get my bang in check. On a side note i think doras on xbl, i was watching a top bang replay and the dudes gt was dora f91 and he was gooooood.

[@bofo2919]

You´re right Emillll. Kazu´s the best Tao I´ve seen. but we have yet to see a Taokaka qualify for the SBO. Very Sad really but there´s still hope!! Cause a Tager qualified!!

[@nFNTy]

Christ.. what a beastly bang. both amazin players. i was secretly rooting for kaqn :P

[@Saturi]

Swear that nigga always going super sayian.

[@rickjamesia]

That was amazing. That last round was ugly though. Did he land anything?

[@malakyoma]

v13 i would think would be higher up but not top. rachel i can understand cause shes got some crazy stuff. but when you compare the skill it takes to use rachel to the skill it takes to use hakumen, hakumen seems a much more userfriendly character. he can do the same damage as other characters by using the same move 4 times. also, since the game is brand new and not even out in most places, its impossible to make a good tier list now. and i said arakune would be one of the best.

[@DonQoo]

Wow.... 12:06 I love you Dora. ; ) I should quit my hakumen and start such a nice bang. :O

[@Emillll]

For Taokaka, check out Kazu. Probably the best one I've seen.

[@malakyoma]

its just light medium high and drive. there will be punches kicks and slashes on any button

[@XiahouYuan111]

@RakeBone In CT, you don't need a barrier burst resever

[@burningsoul89]

You guys love the bang installs, well i love blood kains :D

[@sg-hunter]

i love how bang and ragna are both a good balance of speed, damage, priority, and mixup.

[@supersonicfan13]

the thing is, try using install bang, its hard as fuck, for dora being able to use it as well as he does its almost like trying to learn a whole new character

[@akumous]

Holy Fuck, that was epic!!

[@helbovine]

Wow, this match is so good.

[@phaseshifter3D]

Agreed. You have to learn how to play in both personas AND how to start your pressure when it comes out depending what your opponent was doing. I'm too lazy to even try lol.

[@bofo2919]

LMAO!!! at SHURIKEN SPECIAL TEYAA SHINPU SUPAA ETC. HAHAHA!! you´re right. BANG sure likes to express himself.

[@TherealXenocide]

@xBrizzyaNx you should find the match between bangcamero and mikez cause he tries to astral in it

[@kazerushly]

6:21 lol Ragna was just like Bitch please good match that bang is really good im afraid to see him in Continuum shft lol

[@Blackheart6665555]

I miss this game

[@Shinkada]

... Lol'd. No it's not. The general movement is roughly the same (widescreen actually makes Blazblue feel a bit slower even if it isn't), but the massive intentional slowdown whenever you land a hit makes Blazblue overall much slower.

[@malakyoma]

this game is so much faster than guilty gear. and they tweaked the physics a bit from what i can tell and the buttons are different

[@stevenizback]

Dora's Bang is sexy, I'm faving this.... Hero of Bangs :')

[@lokiramza]

the fact that he didnt combo proved he saw it. You cant kill someone off a Burst guard crush. He let it slide so he wouldnt eat a reversal mid combo.

[@Emillll]

@xBrizzyaNx Astral heats are not useful in matches, which is why they are almost never used.

[@Makuza_]

Wth was those first 2 matches!? D= Kaqn NEVER loses!

[@Emillll]

The set wasn't only 3 matches...that's just what the site uploaded. I'm sure they played like 50

[@EXBanditRyu]

6:25 best kill ever

[@ImpetusZwei]

Rebel 2.. FuRinKaZan and yet kaqn just pulls off a BloodKain combo and he won.. Holy crap, never seen that before xD

[@XtraZero]

It's the other way around. You can't kill off of burst GC but you can off of regular GC.

[@TheRedEyeChannel]

doesn't that toss them back? why is he stunned? The use of the shield?

[@ghostfire1234]

how come bang's theme didnt lay when he used furinkazan?

[@Dooba101]

8:18 Ragna Command Throw. ROFL!

[@Emillll]

@ghostfire1234 Because that only happens in the console version...or console/arcade version of CS

[@MilesKay11]

its tragic to watch this Bang player win so often, and so much of it is because of that super he has (where he goes all super saiyan) its arguably unfair looking.

[@TheRedEyeChannel]

what happens at 9:28 that stuns ragna? I don't get it.

[@Piinchy]

in this vid Bang is a fcking MONSTER!

[@Omegashrimp9]

I like that idea. But I'd also like to think that Blazblue is more balanced than GG to the point that tiers mean nothing.

[@MilesKay11]

the funny thing is, i knew someone like you would react that way. i didnt even read your full comment because all i know youre saying is "HOWS THAT UNFAIR?! YOURE WRONG." thats why i said it LOOKS unfair. i didnt say it actually was. just look at it though, ragna (kaqn) makes comebacks and comes close winning after working hard, and then bang goes super saiyan and wins by zipping all over the place. He doesnt do it once either, Im pretty sure he does it almost every single round. itlooks unfair

[@str1ker87]

12:06, mmmmm GOOD EATS

[@MilesKay11]

aside from that, i main ragna and sub bang. i recognize whats going on.

[@tuber52]

what a match

[@ArmusIctus]

@someguyhunter Well...Bang has speed and mixup. His damage is definitely not good at all. Not without meter.

[@joel230182]

I hope so.

[@KaalVeiten]

HeartNaNa said so.

[@Kuya1991]

Bang's love beating on Ragna players.

[@helbovine]

Holy shit, Dora. Tone it down a bit, make it fair.

[@illuzi0n1st]

come on, bang against a top tier character?

[@Hippy777]

god bang is so damn loud.

[@rkageru]

hmm 4 drive attacks is not enough cause.. lol is something very easy to do =S and when he realeses the furikasa lol is much easy to take 50% of enemy life =p much more strong

[@kidley]

Bang was full of win ;]

[@aschreplica]

Ever use Fkrz its hard as crap to use thats skill enough

[@jamd011]

they use arcade sticks. thats the trick pal

[@Emillll]

@gronndar No, but this is definitely what bad players see.

[@sg-hunter]

look at 8:16. RIGHT before the grab LOL

[@malakyoma]

this is the best bang player ive seen. and proves just how good bang is. However he is not the best character in the game. im pretty sure arakune or hakumen will be the best. Seing as how theres only 12 characters tho youll see them all in tournaments. wont be too tier based

[@Anathema131]

it looks unfair?... you really gotta get some more information before you post things like this. you can't block when you use that super, and to get the super, you have to hit with 4 of the drive attacks. this means that the only time you will be able to pull this off will be very late game. how the hell is it tragic to watch someone who plays a character that is dead last on the tier list win multiple games? if anything it proves that this game is very well balanced.

[@lokiramza]

Sorry king of bondage but your wrong mate. You cannot kill off a barrier burst guard crush. f they killed you that way then you must have fell for a reset

[@RyuzakiKaiten]

12:07 mad me pee my pants

[@SofoSama]

omfg Im full!

[@Shinkada]

ngoti.

[@burningsoul89]

Wow, i use rapid cancelling every match..... You should be too, even on normals if you have to.

[@sharkkato103]

Guilty gear is technically faster play, but if you're new to fighters, this game is fast enough. If you want REALLY fast, play Melty Blood.

[@Borgorg]

my ears are bleading. why he can't just shut up? SHURIKEN SPECIAL TEYAA SHINPU SUPAA CRAAAASH KAZE YORI MO HAYAKU BLABLABLA. Well, nevertheless, Dora is really good with Bang.

[@Emillll]

Proof?

[@rkageru]

and is not very well balanced =P anyway just dont let he makes the drives on you buwahaha! just keep him in presure =p

[@phaseshifter3D]

You can do just as good with a controller. Just Practice.

[@KaalVeiten]

Girl. Dora's a woman.

[@malakyoma]

well then im watching all the wrong vids. cause this game looks so much faster. doesnt matter though cause this game still looks like da shit

[@Senkei33]

No guilty gear is much faster silly

[@djbnldm]

I dont think so. He has a lot more going for him than Ragna the same combos man. He is a dull character imo. Ragna's design is not boring but after seeing what Ragna can do he is a very boring character to say the least. Every time you fight him you already know whats coming but with Bang its almost limitless possibilities of what you can do
