I bought the collector's edition yesterday at Gamestop's B2G1, who's a good character to start with?

Tsubaki is a good character to start with. She'll make you feel like you're so awesome at comboing.

You mean Calamity Trigger? Not to ruin your party but if you want to wait a little bit longer (less than two weeks), the sequel (Continuum Shift) will come out at $39.99. Pretty sure you can return it since I'm assuming it's used.
If you do want to keep it (still an awesome game), Ragna's the easiest char to use that will give you the best basics... Followed by Jin and Noel. Nu's pretty easy as well.

Wow, I never even realized this was the thread for the sequel or that there was a sequel planned at all :lol :lol . I'm still going to hold onto my of CT though b/c I'm sure there's more than enough stuff in it to learn before moving to this new one.

As for FMM, TK, SC have any modern iterations of these games featured unlock retardation? None that I can recall, plus SEGA won't make me a new FMM.
Not to mention early on TK characters were just bullshit model swaps with the same move set as the original characters. So the only modern fighter to feature this bullshit was SF4, barring boss unlocks which seems to be standard.. :/

Among the new modes in BlazBlue Continuum Shift is the "Beginner Mode" that pretty much allows you to mash buttons and pull off some amazing combos. As for the meat... The story mode in BBCT could take you somewhere around 30 hours to see the true ending, so expect about the same for BBCS. Not to mention all the other modes as well as the new Legion Mode... It'll keep you busy for quite some time.

Pretty much standard fighting game story mode with visual novel tossed in between rounds. But the way you progress through the story depends on whether you lose or win the match or how you win. So its like a visual novel with multiple endings, a single "correct" one and the others are mostly joke endings that are usually rather funny or slightly different endings that show something about the characters of the game. Although I suggest you use a FAQ because its pretty difficult to see all the endings if you just try to blindly stumble through it.Gravijah said:

Never played the story mode but I've just been reading on overviews and stuff. It's pretty complicated and actually makes sense. The creators actually said that they don't add new characters for the sake of adding -- Only when they're needed by the story.
A lot of the "worthless" characters to the storyline got some involvements in CS and the ones that didn't got a HUGE set up for the next game.
edit: oh yeah, this is based on the "true ending." Pretty interesting but not interested enough for me actually play single player -- I just want to play online, lol.

Every SC has required character unlocks beyond like 10 characters. Tekken 5 (non-DR) is only really 1 game ago (along with the 2 revisions) PLUS in Tekken 6 you had to unlock characters in the story mode (where most of the non-gameplay related crap is locked away or not ridiculously time-consuming to get to).
You also didn't specify modern with the games.

SF4 trophys was pretty easy it just required you to mash 3p or 3k
only thing that took some effort was challenge mode :lol
So I gave CS Score Attack mode a shot for the first time today... Got to Hakumen with Jin and then gave up in disgust because he was raping me so outrageously I didn't feel like I stood a chance of winning in a million years.
I then looked around online for tips on beating Score Attack and found Beginner Mode Tager mentioned, so I gave that a go. Once I got the hang of the BM controls, he felt hilariously broken and I found myself raping everyone including Hakumen... but then there was Hazama, who was an utter bitch even as Broken Mode Tager, and so I gave up on that too in the end (though I could probably have beaten him if I'd carried on long enough...)
But yeah, I figure if I can't even handle Score Attack Hazama with Broken Mode Tager, my chances of ever unlocking anyone else's Unlimited forms are approximately minus zero. I'll probably cave in and buy the DLC unlock at some point, much though the thought pains me ~_~
...On the bright side, I did at least manage to beat Arcade Mode with Rachel without switching the difficulty down to Normal. =D (Still on single-round mode, but hey, I'm proud of my small victory.)

Yeah Hazama's strict ass combos and cancel'd hits are a lot easier, I heard carl was pretty easy to use too. :lol
I can't wait to play people who think beginner mode has any chance in a real fight :lol

Why wouldn't you be able to use beginner mode online, you can use it in the Arcade version.
Yeah hit them buttons hard!

What? No... Beginner mode is gimped. The only character that can benefit is Tager, but even then, that means limited combos and no burst.

And I finally went and preordered it... at Amazon with my first trial month of Prime! Let's see if they can get it into my hands on release day...

I just ordered a new arcade stick off Amazon and cancelled the Blaz pre order I tried to make at the same time when I saw that even with their highest shipping option it listed the arrival date 3 days later than Gamestop (and I'm not a fan of Gamestop either).
If it matters I'm a US resident BTW
