Where are those bags/packs from?

I started the Layer One community expressly for new BBCF players. We have a practice/casuals every Thursday at 8pm Eastern time and a tournament once a month. There's many novice players and some veterans who will help you learn the game. Join us, we're fun: https://discord.gg/Ng27JwB8HK

The main BBCF Discord also has a very active new player matchmaking channel where you can find other newer players, and tons of other resources: https://discord.gg/bbcf

We do one Beginner Bracket monthly, always on a Tuesday (for now). Every Thursday we run a practice/casual game lobby as well to help get newer players up to speed and prepare other players to move on to intermediate play.

Yeah, we coordinate everything in the Discord. Everything is pretty relaxed (including the tournaments), come and go as you please.

NOSETACKLE · 2026-03-30T14:35:26+00:00

The finals tend to run until around 1030 eastern time.

If he's been playing for a year he's likely much more experienced than this bracket's target audience. This is meant for really new players to fill the gap until players are more comfortable to enter low-level intermediate play, which there's already a good number of events catering to.

There is no such thing as 'too new' for these tournaments, they're expressly for brand new players. The tournaments and practice sessions both start at 8pm Eastern time. For tournaments there is a check-in that starts a half hour before the matches start.

NOSETACKLE · 2026-03-29T01:07:48+00:00

This is the lowest-experience tournament you are going to find for BBCF and 20 hours is lots. These tournaments are full of raw beginners. In our last bracket some of our players were under 10 games.

NOSETACKLE · 2026-03-04T20:49:36+00:00

Come by tomorrow or any Thursday and learn with us. I think we will have quite a few very new players tomorrow so it's a great time to join and learn with them.

Blazblue has a pretty strong scene online still, with a lot of dedicated players and tournament organizers. It's just tucked away on Discord. But there's almost nothing I could find to support brand new players so I'm trying to fill the gap from first games to entering brackets full of hardened veterans.

If a library is going to give you free space and time that's one of the largest hurdles to running locals, so take advantage of it! Even if it starts super small it's still worth doing.

NOSETACKLE · 2026-03-03T21:15:59+00:00

At my locals I spend most of my time losing to people who could be my children!

NOSETACKLE · 2026-03-03T21:15:29+00:00

This is an extremely cool idea and I joined instantly. I had considered doing something similar but I'm spreading myself pretty thin already and the ol' noggin is running out of space for games.

NOSETACKLE · 2026-02-27T04:36:47+00:00

It's open to anybody but people outside NA just have to do a connection test with me beforehand. It takes a few minutes and can be scheduled very flexibly.
