Blazblue: Continuum Shift

By superarmy. 02/10/09, 01:26 pm

Not yet sure how big Blazblue is here yet. Considering next year this should finally be launching as Continuum Shift, kinda expecting momentum to gain. Considering it's guilty gear and the best next-gen fighting game, period.

Anyways since it's announcement in Famitsu during TGS we have seen quite a few screen shots. Just guna dump what I found. And if anybody else has Calamity Trigger add me.

DUMPAN (not sure if there are thread stretching rules)

[EDIT BY MOD: Spoiler tag because large image heavy post is large image heavy - dialup users beware.]

Spoiler:

Two new characters announced(Tsubaki and Hazama), SO FAR. Arksys have teased on dustloop that there are more.

We do have thread stretching rules here - if the image is larger than 500px wide, stick it in a spoiler tag so people can hide the image whilst reading the thread. :) I've done it for you now, but in future the tag is just [ spoiler] [/ spoiler] without the spaces in them. Very Happy

Cheers, I understand, I checked the rules sticky and couldn't find anything. But now duly noted

Has Calamity Trigger even released in PAL yet? >_<
Last time I checked the EU/AU release was far later >_>

I haven't played the game but I'm cosplaying one of the characters for Auckgeddon nyahaha

I's quite like to get my hands on a copy of it sometime~

Calamity Trigger won't by the sounds of it, we will just get Continuum Shift. Importer here, you can still get it for a reasonable price through play-asia. I like my collectors edition though.....

Don't have it just yet.....

Looks like it's importing time. Play-Asia here I come.

Do consider that Continuum Shift will completely change everything. Character tier lists, from initial reports have, have been flipped on there heads in CS. Don't get me wrong CT is amazing, but will be redundant in 6 months when the community moves onto CS.

*cries* My poor Jin, what have they done to you

By Saiyajin Mui. 02/10/09, 02:01 pm

I'm used to it. Melty Blood gets the same treatment tier-wise.

By superarmy. 02/10/09, 02:11 pm

Well I'd always want to see more people online, not that latency is an issue, the netcoding is flawless. If you do get it add me.

By **JVCA**. 02/10/09, 02:14 pm

@superarmy: I think there's something a few posts down in the rules thread, but no worries - it's easily fixed - and kudos for actually checking the rules first, too. Very Happy

whilst cnz was down i did some good old youtube browsing and upon my journeys i came across the blazblue continuum shift intro!!!
or maybe the arcade intro.. BUT IT'S STILL COOL!!

Spoiler:

i have to say, they did make jin kasaragi a bit crap in this game

By superarmy. 28/10/09, 04:34 pm

Yeah, I saw the vid on kotaku this morning. I almost want to import an arcade unit just to play it now. And Hazama = my new main, as much as I loved Jin, testing has seen him get nerfed big time. Anyways that trailer was so awesome, especially the shot of the 6 heroes

Have watched it like 20 times now.

By Mandie_Chan. 29/10/09, 02:00 am

WAAAA~ AMAZING~~~

~~now I feel EXTRA cool for cosplaying a character who hasn't even made it to NZ~~

Ahh nerfed means more his moves have been capped slowed down and weakened, although new locke tests show it is getting more balanced than ever. And I for one like the new grimdark art style where everyone seems angrier.

And Tsubaki's eyebrows? Yeah not too much is known more than what we know from the 1st game.

By the time the console version comes, me thinks that there will be additional characters, just like with the first one.

And Noel's drive spamman seems to have been reduced. Tager and Hakumen have flown up the tiers in latest lists. But Hazama is smooth criminalan

ALSO
The direction of the story in CS spoiler ahead

I'm a huuuuge fan of Guilty Gear, so I really have to give this a purchase.

It's coming out on PSP soonish, so that can sit in my collection along-side Guilty Gear Accent Core. Very Happy
