The "BlazBlue" Thread

[Gotham Ranger]

So, I watched a video of this game.

Do they ever shut the [tornado fang] UP?

[VixyNyan]

Yay for overlapping voice clips in the same "Burn to the ground" fashion~

[Gotham Ranger]

The constant yelling and [parasitic bomb] is the most god awfully annoying [parasitic bomb] I have ever heard in a fighting game. I know yelling out move names and [parasitic bomb] gets you pumped and such, but JESUS [tornado fang] there's a damn limit and they not only went over, it they demolished the little yellow barrier that lets you know its there and ran right the [tornado fang] off a cliff.

[Acid]

I don't remember it being so bad. When you're in a fight you don't pay attention to that anyway.

[Gotham Ranger]

I think the only other time I've even heard anything close is God Rugal is his constant ashura warping in CvS2

[Satoryu]

The yelling usually doesn't bother me either. If anything, it makes me laugh.

Posted on: September 29, 2009, 14:05:48Here are some of the tuneups the characters have received in Continuum Shift. Looks like Tager's getting a big buff, and Arakune is getting nerfed big time.

Other little things to mention:

• New portraits, voices, animations.
• The game's story happens in 2200. Which makes it a sequel in that sense. But it still feels more like a Champion Edition.
• Tsubaki is pretty damn fast, but her drive is slow. Her playstyle is a lot like Order Sol.
• Nu is dead. Replacing her is Λ-11 (Lambda), who I would guess is exactly the same as Nu, except is blonde and doesn't turn yandere around Ragna. She's already earned the nickname Ramu-chan
• You can store an extra burst after a round. And after bursting, there's no damage penalty.
• Guard Libra is replaced by Guard Primer. The new meter depletes if you're hit by specific moves. The size of the meter depends on the character: Tager has a big meter, Lambda has a small one.
• The way Astral Heats work is different.
• There may be one more new character.

The new artworks are so much better than the old stuff. A lot more life in them.:

Blazblue Portable announced in Famitsu this week, no scans yet though.

At last, a way for me to play this damn game.

you spoke all the words I had in mind 

[Satoryu]

The new mode they're including doesn't sound like much. Certainly not enough to make me buy it again. Playing this on a portable would be pretty awkward, too.

Seriously. It's gonna be interesting to finally get my hands on it.

I think downscaling hurts the sprites a lot.

Eh, Guilty Gear played fine, this should too.

Yeah, but dumbed down a lot and sluggish. I'm with Sato, doesn't really have the "Get this game" kind of feel.

[Solar]

Out of curiosity, what was dumbed down in PSP Guilty Gear?

[Gotham Ranger]

Which one? I played some of whatever one came with Judgement. It didn't seem too bad. I just can't into Guilty Gear, though.

[Satoryu]

GG is a high paced game, so when I'm playing it, my hands are fidgeting quite a bit. Not very comfortable when you have to concentrate on the screen inbetween you hands. Also, the buttons feel different compared to a PS2 controller, the lack of grips on a PSP gets in my way of comfortably holding it, you had no shortcuts by default, and the screen was shrunk to widescreen so half the characters obstructed a part of their life bar.

BlazBlue doesn't have to worry about the last complaint, as it's widescreen natively. And you'll still be able to use R as one of the shortcuts. The others still apply.

But that's just me. I'm awkward when playing any game on a portable.

I say if you don't have a PS360 but you do have a PSP, do yourself a favor and pick this up. But if you already have it on a console, there's no reason to buy this new version.

Well, I don't need that PSP version anymore.

It better not be that [tornado fang]ing "GAMES FOR WINDOWS" [parasitic bomb].
And it better not require pixel shaders... oh God, I hope it won't.

Anyway, NEWS OF THE YEAR!

Hmmm, sound nice. I can barely hear it tough, do we get an ost or something?

[Acid]

I assume we'll get one.

[Rin]

I hope we won't have to wait for too long.
I'm impatient.
There's also the fact, that I LOVE BB music more than myuzak from GG.

[Acid]

Overall I like GG's music more. But that doesn't mean the music in BB is bad.

[Satoryu]

I got nothing against Guilty Gear's music. But I will say I think BlazBlue's is better, if only because it has more variety. Most sounds have a more unique sound to them, especially in the guitar work. Or lack thereof in Taokaka's case.
