Es Challenge

[Malkavian]

There's any posibility of her challenge being far more easy to do than the rest of the cast? It is the first time I manage to do all missions for a character in any BlazBlue game, and being honest (due to my mediocre ability and execution) I found very weird how easy were all her missions for me to do.

Any opinion?

I've only done her easy ones, but she seems to be a "normal/easy" type character. I assume ArcSys wanted to give long time, low skill/execution (no offense intended) players a character to play, since a lot of the characters added since BBCS are more complicated or less orthodox.

I've read she requires character-specific combos. She might be easy to pick up and play, but not necessarily to main on the long run...

I think most characters have character specific combos to get the most out of them. I don't pretend to speak for the devs, but just looking at her move list and how her basic combos are, she seems like a very beginner friendly character. Once you go deep, pretty much all characters are hard to play.

I think the 2 DLC characters they added Es and Mai are designed to be more frendly to beginers.
Even Ragna and Jin the oginal beginer frendly characters are now almsot advanced level characters so they added new easy characters to pad out the variety for fans.

Yeah terumi seemingly easier in CPEX
then igot here in CF, his combo pretty much the same other than snake bite, but then the combo addition make him harder to play especially maximizing combo/heat.

Ragna seems becoming easier to land his aerial combo.
i dont know about other characters though.

I did many of the character challenges (from beginner to expert) and IMO the challenges of the DLC characters (Es, Mai and Susano'o) are easier compared to the others (even to Jin's, Ragna's or Hibiki's). Maybe that is intentional by Team Blue

[Malkavian]

So, I was right to think her challenge was easier than the rest of the cast. There are chars like Carl, with whom I can't do more than 3 missions and others like Izayoi with whom I have made 65% quite easily.
In the past games (CPEX and CSEX) I've managed to do 50-75% of the challenges for most chars, but never a 100% with any. I should try Mai and Susano'o.

The only seemingly hard thing about Es - weird timings in combos. Like, when you do something like 6A->3C->214C(enhanced)->5B->5C->stuff you need to time 5B JUST right. Too early and 5C won't connect, too late and they can recover. You can't just mash combos ASAP.

Mai's challenge mode is the easiest far as I tried it, It is alot of press A A A C and more complicated maneuvers seem complimented by easier follow up inputs (like jump cancels).

challenge mode in CF is garbage. you're better off just remembering all the inputs and taking your knowledge to youtube

[KitsunoMito]

Some character's challenges be form the actual combat, but Es' challenge is useless

You mean, Challenge mode for CPEX and CSEX was better? It may be the case. As I said, I kinda suck at BB, the execution barrier is realy hard to me, and this is the first time I manage to do a Challenge at 100%.
I've played a few hours with Rachel, Nü, and Nine and I managed to do the 52% with them, the 65% with Izayoi and 76% with Kokonoe quite easily. I don't know if I'm improving my execution or if this Challenges are easier than before.

I think most of the Challenges are for improving inputs, execution and timing than being useful in actual matches. Maybe it's just me, but I remember getting a lot better in SFIV and KOF after doing the Challenges.
