How To Win With Es - Beginner Guide

[@JarlSwagDog]

I have been playing bbcf nonstop since the patch dropped. It was refreshing going back to a game seeing all those nice faces pick it up

[@whizthesugoi]

Love your content

[@JarlSwagDog]

@@whizthesugoi aye thank you thank you

[@KeitharBloc]

Your Amane fucked me up. GGs

[@wisdomcjs250]

The FGC needs more content like the first few mins of this video. Simply showing the information you Actually need to get playing right now. "Do this at range, use this in neutral, use this air attack most of the time, here's a simple BnB combo". It's CRAZY how many guides out there don't show this. I don't need a list of buttons and what they do, I'm new to FGs not new to video games. Show me how to play

[@zadayaz]

yeah a lot of explanation videos for fighting games dont have any sort between “this is the absolute basics of how the game works” and “super high execution combo videos” which sucks

[@heinokunzelmann8967]

is that true? most guides for modern games that people actually play do this exact thing. Explanation of buttons and their uses, BnB combos, blockstrings and lastly some "show off" combos. Obviously you're not going to find this sorta stuff for older games (in video form at least), since you were expected to look at Dustloop and the people that didn't know about Dustloop were usually complete beginners to the FGC

[@heinokunzelmann8967]

@snugrailgun that's exactly what I said lol. It's the reason why most beginner guides used to go over EVERYTHING. If you were into FGs back in the day you looked your favorite character up on DL. That's just it

[@wisdomcjs250]

@@heinokunzelmann8967 ya from my own experience being new to the genre this year that's what I found. The majority of them just list each button and say what they do then you're still left feeling like you didn't learn much and have to just learn it all yourself anyways. It was a struggle. What's a turn? When do I use each type of move and what's my basic strategy for a match? When to burst? Almost impossible as a new player to find all that in one short video told in a nice simple way. In this video here though, 4mins in and myself having never played blazblue feel like I know how to play Es. It was just refreshing to see an explanation like that

[@heinokunzelmann8967]

@@wisdomcjs250 this video is great if you want to immediately jump in and play Es against beginners. However it leaves out a lot of the general mechanics of BB. That's what the more longform guides are for. Fighting games are complex, so you won't get everything on the first try, after the first video. If you want to be somewhat competitive (like with any other game or sport) you have to put in a bit of elbow grease. Watch a video, try stuff out in-game, get beat up online, reflect, repeat and eventually you'll be good. (If you want to look up FGC terms look up 'Fighting game glossary'and click on the 'glossary infil' link. It gives short explanations and video clips where it's applicable for literally anything)

[@happycamperds9917]

Step 1: Pick Arakune. Step 2: Wait for the opponent to disconnect.

[@chrislopez3772]

@Ig_needs_a_wig he’s among the hardest to learn and even harder to master, but once you do, CF basically becomes a single player game especially once you figure out how to get curse in one combo off of most confirms.

[@chrislopez3772]

kzbin.info/aero/PLXESB_bHYkp6ph5qgtbyMqYRPr-6a_Mnp here’s also a playlist for Arakune guides if you want to pick him up and lose all of your friends

[@IfYouInsist]

Even losing with him is fun. Love Arakune players.

[@BearBronson]

@Ig_needs_a_wig I mained Arakune from Continuum Shift all the way to BBCF. He's frustrating to learn, but once you get the hang of him, you essentially learn to control the game. He's easily top 3 imo, BUT his game heavily relies on knowledge of the opponent in terms of spacing. A lot of his moves are very area specific, so you can't just mash with him and hope something happens lol.

[@pedroportela6476]

Arakune players have a special place in hell reserved just for them. Don't look at me like that, y'all know I'm right.

[@death-by-ego]

Before watching this video, I was only playing an Es tier character. After watching this, I am now playing an Es Es tier character

As someone who thought Strive's dash macro spoiled me, I'm having an absolute blast playing BBCF right now. The 66 muscle memory didn't even take a day to kick in. --- For anyone who's stopping themselves from picking up this amazing game for the same reason that I did initially when the rollback patch dropped, you're missing out. ---

[@Alastorchaos]

I'm missing out since combos are hard -and-I can't do them regularly. I'm filtered on combo trials, so I feel this game isn't for me. Though I only paid 2 bucks so I'm not out much. Bought this a while ago due to good character designs. Being a born loser means it's pointless to truly try

[@hickknight]

I'm missing out because money ;-; I hope it goes on sale in the winter sale.

[@SuperHperTube]

[@plannedtuna8293]

@@Alastorchaos “Being born a loser means it’s pointless to truly try” No, your mentality is just legitimately trash. You’re making excuses as to why it’s pointless to “truly try”, so you’ll never actually reap the benefits of putting the effort in. It’s that simple.

[@Yepmyaccount]

More things that makes Es strong that wasn't pointed out: Her dash speed is actually really good, and you can close gaps on people when they aren't expecting it while you're zoning with fireballs Her 2B is a good grounded footsies tool that'll catch the toes of a lot of people, and when combined with her dash speed is really powerful Her 2A is a decent pressure tool for low profiling, and just generally has decent range Her air dash has an arc that makes her crossup ability scarier Finally, when you get comfortable, conditioning opponents allows you to pressure with drive for lots of + frames, frametraps, and setups-- they all have gaps though that certain mashers can do something about

[@chris-cu3kl]

As a new Es main, I really appreciate your brief explanation of what are Es' tools and how to use those to get what she wants. From figuring out what do I need as a new player from dustloop, the 13 page Es guide I found, and her trials I've learned to use her strong fireballs and buttons to win neutral but I couldn't figure out what to do with her drive oki and bors power up. I didn't really mess around with Bors beside to just hurl myself at the opponent with + frames when I felt like it but using her strong keepaway neutral options to convert into full combos makes it sound a lot stronger than a powerup that goes away when I'm tapped. There's a lot in Blazblue that makes me feel like I need to ignore it to focus on the basics of what's going on but it's so helpful to find someone who can show you how easy it really is to implement into my game

[@kaigai-nikimajikoi325]

7:40 - "We do a lil' trolling right back!" that cracked me up.

[@Borderlines]

Jiyuna has a very natural way of teaching. I find it so much easier to learn, but more importantly - to STAY listening because his video guide feels comfortable to me for some reason.

[@ChimericWhite]

He's demonstrating as he teaches, and not explaining everything. It's nice, because it doesn't hold your hand, but it's still guiding you, plus he shows it in action, in realtime. It's a great teaching method.

[@iansalsich6508]

I believe Steam sale starts tomorrow, if Blazblue goes on sale then I'll definitely be picking it up.

[@UltLuigi1]

it goes on sale every time, don't even worry about it

[@ningensan8198]

Love the guide! I picked Es as my secondry character so I don't have much experience with here and this was really helpful

So many people are ignorant people still going off cf1.0 tier list and have no idea what changed in 2.0

[@tanyaharmon6739]

You're sending me mixed signals, Jiyuna. Do I play Blazblue or not? Btw I'm loving Bullet

[@IkariTheWraith]

I'd love to see guides for other beginner-friendly characters like Ragna, Bullet, and Hibiki. I'm new to FGs, so this concise "here are the real things to use with this character" is very helpful.

[@iamacharliest]

I'm having quite a lot of fun with Celica atm, she seems on the easier side but her backfire combo's are super satisfying to land. Also her 2B having 2 hit's makes it easier to hit confirm when they don't block it.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

She’s easy and very underrated.

[@MaadLuck]

@@ANIMEILLUMINATI could you make a video on how you think they'll handle the next blazblue if it comes. Hope to keep the complexity

[@AkazaKR]

you should definitely do more of these Jiyuna

[@GamesAreAHobby]

@ANIMEILLUMINATI You should collaborate with other CF content creators to do similar (character summary + simple match examples) for other characters that are good for starting out. Es being a great character for beginners AND having advanced optimizations makes this easy peasy, but there are others like Ragna, Jin, and Mai as well.

[@pragmat1k]

Gotta submit that first round to "Will it Kill"

Just stumbled across this. Learning you love Es just made me love you more as an FGC player and person

[@Gatsua]

I fully support you if you decide to milk as much content as you can possibly get from blazblue cf while it's hot, easily my favorite 2d fighter.

[@niceparries2262]

Finally I can learn from the best BlazBlue player I know!

[@welcometovalhalla2884]

I picked Es at the beginning but then I thought about trying others and I gotta say playing Kokonoe is like opening some Eldritch book of cursed knowledge. Now I know too much and can't go back to playing normal things. Kokonoe is too complicated and I don't have the time to learn her so I just suck now, please erase my memory and just let me play Es.

[@NBSilentShadow]

After over a decade of just messing with this game series alone, playing other people feels just too gooood!!! Thanks, rollback 🙏

I was so close to play es, then I kept looking and found rachel and now a week later I am still working on basics lmao. not good at 'just play'ing. this is super helpful though, great video great idea.

Yea, I was thinking of playing Es, that big sword seems fun. But I'm also thinking of other characters, though according to dustloop, they are much more difficult, mostly Izayoi I think? As well as Tsubaki. For anything else, I would have to try the characters out, see if I like them.

[@Sadeyo1]

Es is definitely well rounded. I'm happy the stream version already has her playable so folks can enjoy her all these years later.

[@eduardoserpa1682]

BlazBlue's biggest strength is probably that there's a character for everyone, so I'm glad that Es exists as a strong all-rounder among the weirder high/top tier characters. I'm having the time of my life getting back into my girl Mu-12 and actually learning the combos and setups that I couldn't do back when I started playing fighting games.

[@Eldred91]

I'm still pretty new to BBCF overall but I've improved a bit since the start and the things that helped me the most so far is getting familiar with most of the defensive mechanics (Barrier, Burst, Overdrive Raid, Counter Assault) so that you can increase the time you're actually allowed to play the game and try to figure things out in pressure situations. Experienced players will still blow you up in the end for using defensive mechanics in a predictable way but it'll still help you overall with getting more familiar with the system. Also please for the love of god use Barrier in the air if you aren't already so you don't get hit by grounded moves, get in the habit of using Barrier immediately after air teching too. This game has it's own rhythm (quick decision making) that will take a lot of time and A LOT of matches to get used to. Watching your own replays is also really good. Take note of why you're getting hit in neutral and in pressure situations so that you can start actively working on your bad habits and also slowly learn more about the different matchups in the game.
