I know it probably wasn't a dig, but hearing "no Monarch action will be refreshing" is the funniest sleight I've heard in a bit

[@mattsheehan3604]

Nah I don't want to see betadood fight monarch again that shit depressing LOL

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

He’s in like 75% of my BB videos 🥲

[@crppledizzle9374]

he seems like a nice guy bjt he plays so.... robotically? like if a flow chart user was actually cracked, idk how to explain it point is, it's boring to watch a top 8 knowing exactly what's gonna happen in any given grand finals

[@DarkProdigy820]

Commenting on every video before Arakune BBCF combo trials. The mention was appreciated :)

[@danz644]

Only 4 more years !!!!

[@112clockhead]

The reason folks put Ragna as bottom tier in this game is cause he doesnt get to call Jin(or most of his opponents) a little bitch.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

Fix his dub

[@Kaizanor]

"I love BlazBlue, Charlie. I LOVE BLAZBLUEEEE!"

[@ElvisMaximus1]

god blazblue is so good

"Pim, I would not be screaming that at the top of your lungs."

[@spammerman7556]

Appreciate Jiyuna for killing the channel.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

Whatever it takes

[@GIGABlT]

I'm a simple Street Fighter, but seeing other games presented with such PASSION keeps me watching and makes me appreciate them too. Keep at it king 💪

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

I wish a new game came out like this 🥲

[@RapunzelRed]

"Monarch would have blocked that" is going to rattle around my head every time I watch a Blazblue tournament from now on.

[@larrywoolfolk8224]

God as a BB Vet from the CT days, glad to see Ragna still being Ragna after all these years. Ragna is the only reason i started playing Shoto characters and honestly played him all the way until CF when Izanami came out but once a Ragna main always a Ragna main.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

I think CF one of his weakest versions? Still fun though

[@larrywoolfolk8224]

@@ANIMEILLUMINATI Probably but that's probably the oldhead speaking as from what I've seen if there is any 2D game that not only still has a following but still gets in new blood is CF, probably because it got rollback if i recall. And lets keep it buck, when it comes to the modern Team Blue titles to play, CF is definitely more easier to digest than Cross Tag. For me personally i like the roster diversity that CF has (not really i just love izanami), but the CS era was definitely a mood when it came to being a Ragna main.

[@RealKatTea]

Hell yeah, monthly blazblue video dropped

[@Elivanse]

I'm glad he's still going for the yt grind.

[@CosmicRPG]

In the meantime BBCF have a good playerbase, BBCF never died.

[@raionbomber75]

I'm too smoothed brain for Blazblue myself, but it's so interesting how rollback changed this game so much for me being a spectator. I remember pre covid AnimEvo being Hakumen mirrors while no one played Nine, now I see Bullet players cooking. Glad this game is thriving

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

Game has clear tiers, but there’s also a very high ceiling so hard work can take you far.

i actually really like those videos of you reacting to some blazblue, keep it coming jiyuna

[@tyraster8603]

Please do more BB content, even if it's just rewatching old matches or something. I love BB, always loved it but I got filtered being a European with no local FGC scene and no real interest in any other fighting game to at least learn fundies but I recently got fired up again and have been messing around in practice and challenge mode for fun even if I'm like a decade too late, lol.

[@mojito8948]

Where in Europe precisely ? I'm getting started with BB as (kinda) my first FG. If you're not too far we can match up

[@johnonyango3166]

5:33 'If you guys keep running Blazblue tournaments, I'll keep watching'. Amen to that.

[@HanzoHimemiya]

It is not the community who is keeping Blazblue active, is the same Arcsys because that franchise helped to be in the sight and beign the otaku game fighting company that now is. Even Ragna is low tier in CF because his political uncle powercreeped him as the beginner friendly and competitive balanced rush character, it had still decent match up against top tiers in the game. A this began with a legal dispute between Sega and Arcsys due to GG2 Overture good reviews but low sales.

[@killacam0824]

FACTS!!! BlazBlue For Life

[@user-cc3ef7qh1x]

[@MG_Gambino]

I will always love me some blazblue. I dont know if you saw world serpent championship, jiyuna, but you might want to check that out. I have my own eye test for monarch, but he was playing like a madman at that event. Grand finals was insane. Always great to see bbcf content

[@QU4DR4T1C1SM]

Started playing BBCF during EvoJP. I like it a lot

I was just at Guildhouse for the first time a few days ago. Had no idea they hosted an anime tournament. Might have to show up more often

[@eduardoserpa1682]

I haven't played in a while, but god it's still so fun to watch.

I watch this BB videos just to see how giddy you get watching them Junior.

[@jacklantern]

"Monarch woulda blocked" I can't believe I hate this line now.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

It’s true though 😭

[@kirby2567]

I have recently started using CF to practice Stick controls and damn I wish all shotos were as cool as Ragna All his tools are like "okay, I get why he has that"

I think all of the California names you named in this video were at Awaited Fate Memento Mori a few months ago. Guymam, Jona, brkrdave, etc.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

Guymam…

[@Kinma15]

Ragna is at least A tier when you have a decent grasp of his combos, I gotta learn those 6A combos.

[@HanzoHimemiya]

in a good mood Ragna is still mid-low tier, the issue is that Naoto exists.

[@ShaneC87]

What I wouldn't give for a new mainline BB game.

[@AllStarKingD]

That top tier Taokaka player coming in #2 in a tournament made me buy the game. Not kidding. I loved Tao but when I first saw her combos after coming from Continuum Shift she seemed like way too much effort for a 3k damage (which Mai can just use her C button and get 3k-3.5k for free). Still practicing and love my girl though :]

[@salem2772]

I have to agree, Ragna mirrors are fun to play and watch.

[@Wezzybman]

Im surprised one character didnt get touched to the tune of 60%

I hope we all see a new BlazBlue, don't think so,but i hope so,i really miss this game

Im happy to be still learning something new every time I watch Jiyunas reaction to some final matches

[@LocalWaterEnjoyer]

They'll announce next Blazblue at EVO this year, my ass senses it

[@soratheorangejuicemascot5809]

I will get a face surgery to make myself ugly if that ever happened. I am confident it won't.

[@samuelmillar9918]

Fuck yeah Blazblue. Even when it is Monarch blocking 70% of the round, I'm always down to watch BB content.

[@MrCactuar13]

been watching Jourdal's uploads of old ass match footage, kinda miss it

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

BB throughout the years was amazing

[@kaigai-nikimajikoi325]

Eyyyyy Blazblue let’s go!!

[@amperiumx]

Leverless takes time, but it's comfortable.

[@Jet4Sam]

0:50 I'm a new BlazBlue fan 🗿

[@AllStarKingD]

Ragna is B or low A tier I feel. You have to be really good to exploit Ragnas weaknesses but his damage is absurd and he has a sword which gives him long reach and sort of safe air game with Jump C. Ragna's DP also makes him hard to Oki. Jin is also in A tier with Ragna because his sword is used in even more attacks and he also has that annoying DP.

[@Jeremy7809]

Nothing beats going into Training mode and just practicing Ragna combos for 2 hours

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

I miss old Blood Kain

[@uthmanaffan2462]

Fame is the terumi player from ceo...mah man😅

[@AlexanderMartinez-kd7cz]

hey, at least SF6 is finally catching up to what blazblue has had since like 2015. I just wish granblue took some notes, currently it's in my library literally just to look at narmaya.

[@Iwisoks]

biggest reason i like this game is because my bum ass laptop can run it just fine on wi-fi somehow

I always enjoy seeing Blazblue, the games fluidity and pressure sequences are so dope. 2d footsies bby.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

Airdasher footsies

[@kDallas_]

Man, ragna is so cool 😎

[@Luunyby]

Honest ask since you brought it up, how much better is leverless on your joints compared to stick? I'm not old but I just have shit joints so I kinda assumed leverless was the easiest on them after trying fighting games on pad didn't work out.

[@Luunyby]

Also Blazblue is probably my favorite "If I was good I'd play the fuck outta this" game

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

Leverless hurts my hands in high execution games. Never felt pain with stick.

[@DocBB]

I'll maybe believe Ragna is low tier if people start blocking 6B by the series 20th anniversary

[@darkraifan007]

Ragna has always been more fun to play than Sol

[@AriharaKei]

I'll always watch blazblue when I have the time

[@tobys706]

I've always wondered why you can't watch online tournaments. There are many strong players on the Network. After all, the Monarch dominates offline, and it's not always like that.. intriguing matches For example, the same WSC where almost all the top American players played, including Monarch. These were crazy matches.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

As a boomer, only offline FGC matters to me even though many strong players are online
