First Footage of Relius Clover in BlazBlue CS2+

Kind of reminds me of the “Stands” concept from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, me likey. =)

Hahaha, didn’t realize Keits commented on the similarity as well. XD

Hi Ichipoo

Another $8 char

Another $8 character with a similar style/look and relation to a previous character???

WHAT A GREAT TIME FOR FIGHTING GAMES.

looks very interesting, cant wait to try him out

Dude, you can try a lot harder than this. Disappointing. 4/10

Damn he looks way more interesting then I imagined. I actually want to play him.

Yeah it sure does suck. I want the good old days back. The nine year wait between 3S and SFIV was the shit.

nice

I still didn’t expect Relius to be the next character because he never raises a fist except for the Lambda ending. Here’s hoping Jubei is made playable

Yeah I totally loved having to buy a whole new game for another character or two, or different versions of a character. EH GUILTY GEAR?

Relius looks kinda fun but I got plat and makoto so Iam good XD cant wait to try him out though

What I loved was paying a full 60$ to get the option to adjust the game speed.

[...] finalmente el parche ha sido aplicado a los Arcades Japoneses y gracias a SRK me entero de los primeros videos del personaje en acción… que no serán de la mejor calidad, [...]

Looks great. I think I might main him.

So Relius is a stand user, nice. Can’t wait to see how many infinites he has, I’m betting on 5.

It IS a great time for fighting games! $8 for a character–which is worth many hours of gameplay–is a fantastic deal. FURTHERMORE, this character clearly has a completely different style of play compared to Carl, and it’s not like they recycled art to make Relius; these are all new hand-drawn sprites. They have fewer similarities than all of Street Fighter’s shotos have with one another, and it’s cool playing a characters father. Family beat-down action!

What does “stand user” mean? If you’re saying he’s like Carl, who is a trap character with lots of infinites, then I would disagree. Looks like Relius’s robot follows him around without a command, and works more like an extension of his character, not a movable trap. He looks like Zappa to me.

I am stoked! Looks like the robot follows him around, unlike Carl’s “sister,” and just hitss like long-range supers that require re-summoning in between uses…? Seems like he’s got some good keep-away pokes between him and the robot, and maybe a DP with that rising green fist thing.
Also, that new stage is dope!

Stand originates from the manga/anime Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, where, starting in the third story arc of the manga and the first(only) of the anime, the main characters fought with spirits that fought alongside them and augmented their natural abilities. They are called stands because they “stand beside them in battle” (if I recall correctly). Relius’s puppet functions almost exactly the same as most of the stands in JJBA.

Damn, and here I thought he would simply be a rip-off of carl, shame on me for underestimating arksys. Can’t wait to see more of this fine gentleman.

Stand behind them. In general – if you look at the stands in Part 3 (where they were introduced), they’re generally humanoid figures appearing behind the stand user (at least Star Platinum, The World, Magician’s Red, Silver Chariot…the important ones).

Dude you forgot the small balance changes the whole cast and system here is some

Gold burst – Duration decreased, less invincibility. Easier to bait and punish
Break burst – Hitting the opponent with burst or making the opponent block it gives 25% meter to you
Knockback – When air guarding a ground attack, knockback is increased to make it easier to gain some distance
Barrier guard – Larger knockback on moves with a higher attack level
Instant barrier guard – Knockback is even larger, making it easier to get away

Thumb looks like Shen Woo with a mask. I was mislead
Sprites live on though!

This dude looks ridiculously slow, but interesting nonetheless.

lmao all the GG chars are way different between each others even the different versions, or are you so blind that order sol its similar to sol to you, or robo ky and ky

0/10 on trolling
0/10 on intelligence

Somewhat reminds me of Nero from MB. He even has the grasshopper leg.

Aww man, Relius looks awesome. Wasn’t expecting to dig him as much as I am. Definitely can’t wait to see more.

Infinites? none. Loops? Many. Ignis has a gauge that runs out fairly quick it seems, so…

HEY. Where the fuck is Baiken?! Oh…wait…=[ I just trolled myself.

Pretty sure he was making a joke about JJBA.

Was talking about this for a while with a friend. He reminds me of a strange cross between Nero and Jotaro, with Nero’s bulk, active frames, and odd timings with Jotaro’s stagger pressure and a mix of the mobility options and lockdown.

But no deer jousting.

Love BB but this is one of the main reasons I stopped playing after the CS. $5 dollars and up for a single character is ridiculous. Even though Jill and Shuma were cheaper, that was still one of the flaws I couldn’t stand about MVC3. I don’t like DLC characters, and expensive ones are really just buzz kills. With all the money spent on DLC characters, I could just buy the game again.

The first thing I thought of was Shadow Dio thanks the the j.2D, j.6D, and j.8D doll rush punches. Ignis seems to work more like a real stand than that all in all though.

I miss the old days when Winback’s trolling actually had substance and not effortless dabble like this that just makes us facepalm at his stupidity.

Are there any people of African ethnicity in the Bzb universe? I have never seen a black character in GG or Bzb.

….so you were saying, you do accept eating the poo-poo? nice.

Was thinking I wouldn’t see this guy til BB 3 or something. Nice so far though.

Tager is red.
Seriously, why does it matter what race they are though?

Ah, I understand now. He’s definitely a stand character then! It looks to me like Relius’s robot is sorta “expended” a lot of times, maybe after doing certain command moves or a certain number of them, so maybe there won’t be many infinites. I’m seeing Relius re-summon the robot a lot, but not in the way Carl does, since Relius’s robot doesn’t seem as much like a “stand,” but is actually another movable, positionable character.

By “different versions”, he means EX/Gold/etc.Thought that was obvious.

CS is currently in its second free-release balance patch. Buying a character for $8 is a lot better than buying a new game for $30-$60, like most companies do for major balance patches.

If I hear that same damn justification one more time, someone’s getting cut. Did everyone just forget the whole concept of beta testing in the 9 years they were only paying attention to the games Capcom wasn’t making? Last I recall, people got some sort of reward for participating in the beta, not charged full price for it. Arcsys and especially Capcom have plenty of money, I don’t know why you people think they need your welfare.

Honestly, they’ll give you more bang for you buck if the went the Capcom route. Of course, not in a retarded move, release an ultimate upgrade, not even a year after the original. But, they should save all their DLC characters, and just release an upgrade with the balance patches, new stages and everything for $40 or less.

I mean, when it’s all said and done, we’re gonna end up spending over $40 on DLC characters anyway. I’ll gladly pay for a substantial upgrade that comes together all at once and not in pieces.

Because people of African ethnicity are sensitive about this sort of thing.

One of the most idiotic statements I’ve read on this forum. Hope it was a joke.
