Steve, the dog with no powers that we let hang out with us all for some reason
I'd love to get the same option to choose between ENG/JPN voice-over per character like in SF4.

Has this been confirmed or denied in any way? I'm partial to the english VA overall but I can't stand Jin's in particular, who happens to be my main character. I don't understand why they couldn't include it - in BB:CT online fights you could have a japanese voice acted character going against a english voice acted character just fine.
Can someone explain to me what the hell happened in Calamity Trigger? I played through the story mode with all the characters and am pretty sure I saw all the Teach Me Ms.Litchi videos before I gave it back to my brother.
Are Noel and Nu one in the same? Who the hell is Hakumen? What is the relationship between Jin, Ragna, and Noel? Why does Nu suddenly become a shy Japanese school girl when she's around Ragna? What is game?

For my understanding, CT is a continuum loop, the events keep happening over and over. The only one who remembers all the events is Rachel, because she is immortal and every time the loop is repeated she hopes for the other characters to do the RIGHT choice. That is why you see different events happening and stuff not making sense, because some endings are a event happening in a new LOOP, kinda like when Jin first meets Noel. Now Ragna, Noel and Jin were all the orphans that lived together, Jin after loosing Ragna and Noel vs Nu, he changes and Rachel helps him to become one of the Heroes which is Hakumen, so Jin is Hakumen. Hakumen due to some distortion or something manages to stay in the actual time and helps Rachel to keep the other characters in doing the right choice.
So the only ending that matters is the TRUE ending, in that ending all the characters do the right choice and Rachel stops the satellite from destroying everything and repeating the loop. So in CS the story will continue and we don't know wtf now. Regarding Noel and Nu, it seems they come from the same place, but they are more like "CLONES/ROBOTS" created to fulfill a purpose, Noel turns into her true self in CS as seen in her new artwork.

This game's story is fucking ridiculous.
I wish they had spent the time on new characters and not put in any story in CS.

Dude, I enjoyed the stories. Best stories in a fighting game there is.

I think the story was fine, I mean if Heroes and LOST can get away with those kind of twist, why not a fighting game? :lol
I think BB story was a good idea on how to deal with the "Bracket Storytelling" in most Japanese novel like stories. Because
all the endings actually happen and they are ALL cannon
It's quite a clever way of dealing with a story that hasakachan ningen said:This game's story is fucking ridiculous.

multiple paths and endings. Will they have the same loop style plot in CS though I wonder.

Man, fighting games and stories. What is up with them? Ignoring that, are the Nu looking robot chicks going to be as fucking annoying as Nu is already(fighting wise I mean)?
Also what are the chances on Jubei being in? Nothing would please me more than seeing a tiny cat man beating the shit out of Tager and Hakumen.
Edit: I see Squirrel Girl has made it into the game. Much more slutty looking than I remember though.
arstal said:
I just saw that Squirrel Girl is DLC? Fuck that. Wouldn't introducing new characters as DLC wreck the balance of the game?
I want to say I wouldn't put money down for Jubei either if he turns out to be DLC, but I keep imagining beating my cat hating Tager loving friend with a tiny cat man and well...
^Now that you bring it up, how in the hell did Jubei go about getting jiggy with a witch to produce Kokonoe? Actually nevermind, I don't wanna now. Goddamn fighting games.
Hmm, that sounds like a reasonable solution, but I still feel like this a step down nickle-and-dime lane that I won't be able to afford.<-Poor College Student

Did they announce how much dlc characters would cost? I think I only played with GAF once on CT, not sure if anyone remembers me but I was a Jin player. CT kinda died off for me, but after watching all the vids and trailers for CS I went right ahead to pre order it. Can't wait!
-DarKaoZ- said:
5 or 10 dollars that could buy me a month's worth of Cup Noodles!*
My point is that it's not that I can't afford them, it's just that the money would probably be best used toward other more useful stuff. And it kinda sucks that I probably won't get to play as potentially fun characters because of it.
Basically me = bitter tears.

I got to interview Toshimichi Mori at Fanime last month. He seems to put a great emphasis on the story, so that maybe that's why it's all kinds of complex.
http://asiapacificarts.usc.edu/arti...uke_ishiwatari_and_toshimichi_mori_15326.aspx
APA: From beginning to end, can you tell me about the process behind creating characters for the game?
Mori: For Blazblue, the most important thing is the storyline, so that's the first thing we work on. It is with the story in mind that I start creating the characters that I need to complete the story. After I figure out the characters that I need, I start creating their abilities. I then incorporate these abilities into the gameplay system. Once we reach that point, we split into our two teams: the people that have to work on the scenario and the people who develop the gameplay. All in all, it takes an average of five months for the character's creation.
APA: What is the process behind rebalancing the gameplay and adding new characters to Blazblue: Continuum Shift?
Mori: I added characters that were necessary to advancing the story, just like I did for BlazBlue Calamity Trigger. That's the reason why I will keep adding characters. In terms of gameplay, we consider what would be interesting to add, considering the characters we already have. We balance the game with what we add.

Obvious question is obvious but does that mean v-13 is not in Continuum Shift and A-11 is exactly the same? If so how does this count as a new character?

Cant wait to get my hands on the game. I love the story-, arcade-, Versus-mode from CT. But as a european xbox 360 gamer i've to wait until October. Btw. i heard that the japanese CE will be release here at europe? I really hope so because the ce looks sexy.

This leads me to my second question.
Why the fuck did they remove V-13? She was awesome, character balancing exists for a reason!
Basically.-DarKaoZ- said:
Mechanically the removed or changed a bunch of her moves, and added in some new ones. There are plenty of vids on youtube if you're interested in seeing the difference.
El Sloth: Think of buying DLC characters are paying for new content and balance patches rather than continually buying new iterations like Guilty Gear.

The voice for each round huh.
Just replying to this from yesterday- Yeah Hazama's pretty technical. He has awful regular move speed and instead a run he has this little hop thing- so to move around with him you have to use his drive with shoots out a chain you can swing on. In addition to that his moves are all really short ranged so you have to get in people's faces for a decent combo, and alot of his useful specials come out of this stance thing, so you have to end up doing qcb+d then another button to get a move.hxa155 said:
he'd be brutal to play as on a pad, I imagine. But maybe I'm just bitter because i can't get his bnb combos down.

All I can find is footage of gameplay which from a glance looks identical. Are their any vid's that showcase the differences?
Her drive has been nerfed hard too. Anyone who played CS can tell you that it was ridiculously easy to catch someone slipping and throw daggers at them until they fold. Now, her drive doesn't reach across the entire screen, its more punishable, and its harder to link combos with.ChronicleX said:
Plus the fact that you're able to burst twice without any real negative penalty is welcome.

Well, that's a shame. I only use a dual shock for fighting games. I guess I'm gonna have to continue with Ragna.

Sorry if this is old, but looks like there'll be a BBCS tournament and demo at Anime Expo this year. Since I'm going, it'll be a good time to experience all the characters and maybe ask further questions about dlcs.

S'all good. My only concern is with Tsubuki and her charge method. It seems like if you want to dish out a lot of her damage, you need a charged gauge for her to be highly effective. She's a fun character and easy to learn. I just feel though she's going to be on the low end of the stick with characters because of that gauge of hers. Getting it charged it up, you have to be pretty creative. I read up on Dustloop that if you can pull off her Level 5 combo string, it's up to 6000 damage.
CcrooK said:
Not that I've faced really good Tsubakis, yet, but I haven't found her scary at all. She's lucky to get 3k combos with charge bar, and I don't feel that her pressure is very threatening. I like the way she plays though, I hope they give her a bit of a damage boost.

Eh I use rufus in ssf4 I don't play bang in CS cause he doesn't play the same style anymore. They raped a bunch of his mix up game in exchange for hitconfirm crap ... YAWN. So I'm just moving onto the character I wanted to be in ct in the first place hazama =D well at least til makoto comes out.
