On score attack, I just icicled his ass to death with the occasional ice car.

[Solar]

I meant a human Hazama, no AI.

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

Oh.

If you up against a human that somehow managed to properly learn him, your probably screwed. Was the same with Rachel last time. No one really used her due to the learning curve, but the ones that did were all god tier.

[Solar]

You're really overestimating Hazama. A good one is damnn annoying to fight, but I wouldn't place him near god tier.

Anyways, how the [tornado fang] am I supposed to do Rachel's "stay in the air for 25 seconds" achievement in CT? >__<

[Satoryu]

Get a friend, both of you pick Rachel in Versus, you high jump, hold C so you go into the "swing" mode, and press up+D. Press up+D again when you're close to the ground. When you run out of wind, have your friend do it while pressing down+C so he doesn't fly away.

[Solar]

Does the other Rachel HAVE to be sitting for the P1 Rachel to be blown away? That must be why I couldn't do it when I tried it.

[Satoryu]

Yeah, P2 can't be in the air.

[Solar]

Alright, goodbye CT, hello CS. Now if only my brother would stop using the 360 >___<

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

The Spoon full of Sugar ACH was stupidly annoying to get.

Over all it's one of the easiest, but I had to do it alone using both controllers at the same time. Took like half an hour before I got it right.

[Rin]

EVEN IN THE OFFICIAL PC VERSION CT I CAN'T SEE THE SPRITES!
[tornado fang]ing BULLSHIT!
There musr be a fix for this.

Posted on: August 14, 2010, 07:35:37So... I'm kinda able to play now.
I say kinda... I'm not going to dwell into details on how.
I just am.

So... I have 64%(I think) on Jin THE BATSHIT story mode's, and also unlocked his astral heat and unlimited version.
Cool.
Anyone knows what I have to do to obtain Jin's 100%? I heard something about losing to everyone or something, but that's retarded.. it can't be true can it now?

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

It is. For EVERY character you can only 100% by losing every fight in CT.

Which is why no one gave a [tornado fang] about this except for characters they liked or people with OCD. Luckily there was no achievement for getting all 100%.

[Rin]

I see.
Well... I guess if I want those 100%, I have to fail a little.
Pfeh.

Posted on: August 15, 2010, 05:36:31I have 84% on Jin now.
I've defeated everybody, I lost to everybody... so what the hell do I do now?

[Solar]

You still haven't done all routes most likely. You know, the flowcharts for the stories they had in the Portable version sure would've been nice to have in the console version >_>

Valkenhayn in motion, he transforms into a werewolf during his attacks.

...SOLD.

[Satoryu]

That's a nice way of doing it. I was afraid his drive would work like Bloody Roar.

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

HAH, [tornado fang]ing called it.

The Bloodedge that stopped the Black Beast for over a year is [spoiler]In fact THE Ragna the Bloodedge. Com firmed in the Phase Zero Novel.[/spoiler]

[Solar]

Ok now this just getting confusing. [tornado fang]ing time travel.

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

It was pretty obvious in the True End when Ragna said the exact same speech perfectly that Jebei said Bloodedge said when he was fighting it.

Too lazy to explain it all so I'll just quote what my friend wrote on another forum.

Posted by CyborgZeta

[spoiler]Spoilers from the Phase 0 light novel.

Synopsis:

It turns out that Ragna the Bloodedge is indeed the Bloodedge that stopped the Black Beast for almost a year. When Nu and Ragna fell into the Cauldron, they didn't smelt. Actually, Nu somehow gained Ragna's grimoire and was consumed by the two grimoires and ends up becoming the Black Beast. Nu/Black Beast and Jin are teleported back to the year 2100, while Ragna teleports to the year 2106, while also losing his memory.

Characters:

Nine(ナイン), real name Konoe（コノエ), was a witch and one of the Six Heroes. Her real name is Konoe, although she hates her real name. She is gorgeous, has long, pink hair and dresses like a witch, naturally. The name "Nine" comes from her being the ninth member of the Magic Guild's Ten Sages.

Sister (シスター), real name is Caelica A. Mercury（セリカ＝A＝マーキュリー), the younger sister of Nine, and aunt of Kokonoe. She had brown hair in her youth, and was naturally gifted in the use of healing magic. She was stubborn and unable to ignore those who are in need. After the Dark War, she watched over the Black Beast's remains and built a church, waiting for a chance to reunite with Ragna. She later was the foster parent of Ragna, Jin, and Saya, and was killed by Terumi in 2192.

Shuuichirou Ayatsuki (シュウイチロウ＝アヤツキ), father of Nine and Caelica. Apparently he wanted to fight against the master unit Amaterasu and was researching the Kusanagi blade. During an experiment with Reluis Clover using a Boundary Interface Prime Field Device, they unleashed the Black Beast that was brought back through time.

Clavis Alucard (クラヴィス＝アルカード), the previous head of the Alucard family.

Oddly on the Japanese Wikipedia Blazblue page says that Jubei's name during the Dark War was Mitsuyoshi (ミツヨシ) and not Yoshimitsu (ヨシミツ).


Descriptions of the illustrations:

- The first illustration is Caelica watching Ragna sleep.
- Cool double-page picture of Ragna attacking the Black Beast.
- Kokonoe gets her temper from her mother. There's a color illustration of a pissed Nine trying to throw a fireball at Ragna only Caelica is holding her back.
- Ragna and Caelica hanging out by the ocean.
- Rachel shows up wearing a slightly different outfit.
- Rachel, Valkenhayn and an old guy in a wheelchair (possibly Clavis Alucard). Young Valkenhayn looks badass.
- Ragna and the old guy talking in Rachel's rose garden.
- Caelica's blonde friend giving Ragna something to drink while Nine and Caelica argue.
- Badass picture of Hakumen.
- Scientist (Relius?) laughing.
- Picture from the first post.
- Ragna and Nine talking with a picture of Terumi in the background. Six Heroes Terumi is wearing a cloak that only shows his mouth and right eye.
- Caelica in her nun outfit in a field.
[/spoiler]

This pretty much means that

Ragna > everyone as he [spoiler]fought the Blackbeast for over a year WITHOUT the Blazblue. And also that Rachel wasn't just going tsundere for him, but that she more or less loves/ed him. Though Ragna's bad ending in and Rachel's joke ending in CS more or less gives that away. Also her choosing to sire him to save his life.

[spoiler]I'm more confused by the Nu=Black Beast honestly. If Nu is the original Black Beast, then in the original timeline where did the one that originally almost destroyed the world and caused the creation of all of the ars and stuff? Without those there would be no Nu, no Nu means no Black Beast, and no Black Beast means no ars or that kind of stuff and we go back to the first part of this sentence. I liked it more when the Black Beast was not ANOTHER future past version of a known character x__x[/spoiler]

[OBJECTION MAN]

Terminator syndrome. I kinda liked the idea that he wasn't the same persoon. Oh well, mind [tornado fang] ahoy. I should have expected as much out of BB.

[Mirby]

You messed up the spoiler tag, Tai.

Not quite sure you worded that right...

But if I get what your saying she was always it.

Everything starts at

A.D. 2199: Nu absorbs the Blazblue, and solely becomes the Blackbeast. Nu, Ragna, and Jin are transported to the past.

???????: Rachel puts Jin's soul into the Susano'o unit.

-2100: Hakumen and the Black beast arrive, but the BB is still stuck within the boundary while Hakumen is out and about.

-2106: BloodEdge appears with no memories. By the looks of the images, he was friends/close with a lot of the past people. Such as Konoe and her sister, and Rachel's father.

21XX: Relius and Shuuichirou use a Interface Prime Field Device (A murakumo units like Mu, Nu, Lambda, etc)  to research Kusanagi,  and ended up releasing the Blackbeast.

21XX: Blackbeast destroys most of the world. Bloodege Single handedly stalls the black beast for  a year (LIKE A BOSS!) while the Konoe teaches humans magic, , etc. Nol is formed. Black beast is defeated

-21XX: Terumi kills Konoe, and tries to trap Jubei and Hakumen in the boundary. Terumi ends up getting stuck in there instead of Jubei.

It then goes on a 100 years later as we all know, only for it to repeat itself over and over again until the one repetition where Noel DOESN'T die during the experiment. (She dies in every single other world/version of it. But after so many her chances would grow little by little till she finally survives). Rachel also saves Ragna from Terumi by sireing him. From what's been said, this was not an event in the original time line before she knew "THAT" bloodedge.

A.D. 2199: Noel this time saves Ragna from falling into the cauldron. This results in stopping the creation of the Blackbeast, and the 3 being sent to the past. At the same time, Jin no longer dies when he should have and never becomes Hakumen.

A.D.2200: Saya destroys the master unit, and ends the continuum shifts. CS Ends.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Pretty cool stuff. Love the art there.

[Acid]

Not up to date.

Where are those shots from?

[Solar]

Prequel novel.

Also, arcade version getting updated with DLC characters and maybe a balance patch as Continuum Shift II.
