Capcom did some things BB: CS aren't and vice versa. BB: CD will have a much better netcode, tutorial, and challenge modes to learn the ins and outs of the game. Balance patches as well. Also, can play online matches while you're in any mode. Throw in a big story mode as well.

Both for $40. SSF4 is doing DLC costumes (on the disc), BB: CS is doing DLC characters (not on the disc).

Not seeing the problem here.

If you dont see an appreciable difference between alt costumes and full characters, you are just plain bad at value comparisons

Mu's theme <<<<<<<<<<<< Nu's

As a whole, none of the new themes are close to Hazama or Hazama/Ragna...

Think all 3 themes are pretty win. But in general I love Ishiwataris stuff. I was listening to the CT ost for weeks in my car.

So the "z" is supposed to be silent? I heard that on the latest Warning! A Huge Podcast for the first time this week.

English pronunciation: Blaze Blue

Japanese pronunciation: Burei Blue (meant to be either BraveBlue or Blazeblue)

Is there gonna be a limited edition for the US release? The japanese one is pretty sold out everywhere.

No LE in the US.

They are apparently going to sell off some LE stuff here though, like the Nendoroid.

Well, I believe the the original logic behind the title is that it was inspired by three words: "Blaze", "Blue" and "Bravery". The third one gets pretty much lost in English, but it's the reason why the 'z' is silent in the Japanese version: so that the Japanese pronunciations of "BlazBlue" (bureiburuu) and "bravery" (bureiburii) sound incredibly similar.

But obviously, since this is all completely unintuitive in English, the localisation just uses the more natural English pronunciation of "Blaze-Blue".

Really? Maybe it was the way they overkilled Nu's theme(being the background of Netplay), but it's pretty blah to me now. Mu's is one of my favorite, along with Makoto's now.

Yeah, they definitely pimped Nu's theme pretty hard. I didn't get crushed by it like a lot of people because I played BB offline more than anything else.

Don't like these newest four themes at all though (Makoto's and Val's are okay, I guess). When compared to the rest of the cast, they all sound C+ at best and supremely bland imo.

Not surprised by Platnium's theme name. Though I would think of Tsubaki because of her wings and light based attacks before her when it comes to Angel's.

Random question about Continuum Shift:

Did they lower the volume on Bang's super move where that crazy song blasts about twice as loud as everything else in the game? That drove me crazy in CT.

You obviously don't understand. How else would they properly convey his BURNING RED-HOT MANLY SPIRIT AND PASSION if it wasn't cranked up to 11?

They actually patched it in CT already, same with Rachel's lightning sound. I miss the supreme loudness of them both!

Looked through the DLC list and noticed this:

1/7/10: Arranged system voices (Tetsuya Kakihara)
8/7/10: Arranged system voices (Saitou Chiwa)
15/7/10: Arranged system voices (Sawashiro Miyuki)

What are the chances of Arksys dubbing this too? I want an English Tao announcer!

Damn! Linking you to the PS3 one on YesAsia, but it's temporary out of stock again. I was able to snag one before they sold out again. They still have the 360 version there.

Can I get some tips vs. Hazama? I keep getting wrecked when I fight against people using him. His hook stuff just throws me off.

These guys still seem to have a decent number in stock. Never used them myself, but a friend recommended them a while back.

Done already. The Japanese system voice downloads contain both English and Japanese versions according to the official site.

I don't know where to ask, and I don't think it deserves a thread of it's own, but is there any chance the DSI Ware BlazBlue game will make it over to america?

Valk's theme is the better of the three but still not as good as Boss Hazama's theme.

Honestly my favorite song from CS has got to be Nightmare Fiction, but Endless Despair and Gluttony Fang come in veeeeery veeery close. And of the three new themes, for some reason the only one that I really liked was Valkenhayns. Motokos and Platinums did nothing for me saddly, despite the fact that I love Ishiwatari.

Exactly my thoughts.

Equally, the three tracks did nothing for me :(
