by the way, do any other gaffer live near arcade infinity in rowland heights? I met up with Akachan to play continuum shift, but I'd like to see if anyone else would like to meet up. I think I'll be there on Friday, so let me know if anyone can meet up.

CS coming to consoles on July, 1, Japan of course and with a collector's edition.
So I borrowed my friends copy of BB since I had traded mine in a long while back when I was short on cash to buy new games. Anyway, back then the online was GOD like on my PS3. Games instantly, no lag, and it made me really upset SF4 couldn't get a netcode this mind blowing.
However, now I can't EVER find games. If I go to private matches it sticks me into infinite loops of saying, "Attempting to reconnect" or something like that. It just won't let me connect to private matches AT ALL. I can get ranked matches, but only quick match versions.
Is there anyway to make this not fail? My PS3 has the internet cable hooked up and it's not wireless. I don't have problems with ANY other games online, but whatever they must have done in a patch completely botched my ability to play online.

Saw the news about the release... pretty hyped now... SSF4 should hold me until the release =D
Zlatko, I'm guessing a lot of the BB players left since the release of BBCS... I haven't touched it for a while now. If you want, I could play some matches with you. PSN: Prototype-03

Got to say I giving how much I loved BB that I am really dying to get CS, granted I am not very good at the game but still it some how is my fav fighter. If the Console port is as good as the original BB then i will probably break down and just Import CS.
Do we even know the likely hood of CS coming to NA?

Rachel needs to work twice as hard as the other characters because she just doesnt have the damage anymore. Litchi is REALLY good now. Doesn't need to be in the corner anymore to do damage, but her DP combos are gone. She's definitely top 3 though. Tsubaki is fun, but she has some major flaws in the game that keep her from being good.
All in all though, CS is better than CT. The burst system is flawed though. I don't know what was wrong with the first one.
Prototype-03 said:
I had heard that Rachel had taken a major hit, well it certainly isn't going to be easy playing with her given I was already crap so having her nurfed is going to help me haha. But the Litchi bit is awesome as is Tsubaki. Since I look at more the character and just how fun they are since I can't really compete.
Just got BlazBlue Portable for PSP.
Pretty impressive port overall. The game play is spot-on and all of the animation appears to be intact. I was able to jump right in and do everything from the arcade/console versions with ease. The visuals are very good, although clearly downscaled from the original 720P version. The sprites look blockier and less detailed, and the backgrounds have been made completely 2D. With all of the animation present, however, the game runs very fluidly and looks great in motion.
The following modes are available:
-Arcade
-Story
-Score Attack
-Legion
-Gallery
-Shop
-Training
-Versus
Arcade and Story mode have all the dialogue fully intact; you can even purchase the Teach Me Ms. Litchi episodes from the shop. Legion mode seems to be a variation on the typical fighting game survival mode, where you start with one character, taking on other characters of varying levels, adding them to your side for use (for a total of 20) if you win against them. You can also select to play on either the 1P or 2P side before you start.
When you play matches in the various modes, you earn points which can be used to unlock artwork, unlimited characters (now for everyone), astral heats, and other bonuses in the shop. The only thing that seems to be missing are the bonus color schemes from the console versions.
I tested the game on my OFW PSP 1000 and my CFW 2000. Unfortunately, there is no install option. Off the UMD, the load times are around 7-10 seconds per match. Playing the game ripped to my PSP 2000, the load times are almost nonexistent. The game is also up for sale on the Japanese PSN, so I would assume similar load times to playing it ripped for that version of the game, and that is definitely going to be the way to go.
If you don't know Japanese and the story mode or even basic options being in English are important to you, wait for the American version coming in March-- this version is entirely in Japanese. No voice or text options are anywhere to be found. (Does this mean that the American version is going to have English-only voices?)

I did. It's cool and does it's job. BlazBlue on the go. I'm not gonna get heavy into it seeing as the US version drops in a couple of weeks though. Legion Mode is really fun though. I'll probably will play some more later on though.

Which CFW are you using on your 2000? The game is refusing to load for me. :\
Right after posting this I realized that I had never updated to 5.03 Gen-C on my 3000. That fixed it, at least.

When is the CS PAL release?
Are there going to be additional characters for the PAL CS release?
When will CS be released for US and Japan?
Will there be character avatars for 360/PS3? I want my ragna.
Can't think of anything else, maybe someone will add more.

I'll most likely be there for release. I just hope that I can convince a couple of friends to actually buy this version when it comes out. I can't play through a game like Blazblue without some friends in RL without falling out.zlatko said:New Continuum Shift Trailer:

Bang is great in the arcade version. If the console port of BBCT is any indication, that won't change for the console port.JosM88 said:

Fantastic. I just hope that people don't start to complain about MU like they did for NU._dementia said:
I <3 Bang.
_dementia said:
It's weird that last year all my hype was for Blazblue over SF4, but I'm in the same boat as you that the majority of my hype juice is for SSF4. I'm counting the days down for that one, but that's most likely because Continuum Shift hasn't seen even near the same amount of exposure as SSF4 has been the past few months.
Heck I even have some reserve hype left for KoF13 just because that logo they put out for it is too sexy. :lol
Edit: Mu-12 I believe has not been playable. V-13 however has been entirely replaced by A-11 and is called Lambda. A-11 has been super nerfed. Bang has been buffed. Carl still owns. Ragna is buffed. Tager is REALLY good. Jin is about equal from what I can tell. Litchi is still as good. Arakune is also equally good. Hazama I haven't seen much play of, so hard to tell. Tsubaki seems she'll end up being mid tier. Taokaka I can't comment on. Noel also seems equal. Hakuman I also can't comment on.
That's just what I've gathered from the arcade scene and online videos/comments.
When it does come out July 1st I do hope for at least 1-2 more characters, but I am glad Hazama is in there for sure, because his gameplay style looks fun.

zlatko said:
I don't know if Lambda has been super nerfed. From what I hear she's much more fun to play as now and she's arguably the best primer breaker in the game. She is still really annoying with a good mid-long range game. As for Tager... He is not REALLY good. He is about the same as CT... What doesn't make sense about him is that his throws are unbelievably good but his combos are not as good as they were before. His new move -- gadget finger -- is not that great since it's not combo-able.
Noel is definitely not as good... she is high risk/high reward character, so there could be some success with some people out there (mainly, R-1). Same as Jin... He's REALLY REALLY weird to play as now... His combos almost make no sense.
Tsubaki is almost at the bottom of the barrel... She's my new main... The problem with her is that she has almost no priority, no range, and the worst DP I have ever seen in a game... Then again, I think jpn rank her above Arakune, and somewhere around mid-high tier... So maybe I'm missing something.
Anyway, Ragna didn't get a real buff... He got buffed by the gameplay changes (mainly, the burst system).
edit: oh yeah... Out of the high tiers, I think Bang is probably the most beatable... I have the least experience with him, but Bang traded his oki game from CT to high damage combos in CS. Ragna is annoying... Litchi is REALLY annoying.
Prototype-03 said:
Ragna gets some new moves too though doesn't he? I know he has that sliding sword from air to ground attack that helps with more combos.
I didn't know that about Jin, since when watching videos of him when people do his combos they seem nearly identical as they do to CT ones.(Then again most people I played online who did Jin weren't combo heavy, but focused on just keeping you frozen lol)
Noel was based off of limited knowledge/exposure. The majority of gameplay vids I keep running across is Tager vs someone. So when I did see Noel it was people trying to do the same thing as they had before with her.(Maybe that was the problem when I made my analysis of her)
I stick to my earlier comment about Tager being REALLY good. He just is. 80% of the videos you find online is Tager Vs whoever, and Tager wins 9 out of 10 times. How that will pan out on consoles will most likely change, but the arcade scene has him as top tier.
Finally, your comment on Lambda. What's funner about her? Still the same crap you want to do to keep people juggled it's just now the timing/damage seems different so it's easier to drop. She just seems like she'll be MUCH harder to abuse this time around than when you play against her on CT.

no new info.
Trailer that was posted before was added to the main site. Only difference in this one is they added KOTOKO's theme song at the midway point.

Poor Europe :lol It's just like the old days.
So glad the PS3 is region free so I can just import the US version like with CT. Not sure what to do about this one though, haven't quite decided if the amount of new content is really worth importing at full price, especially with GBP being as awful as it is right now. Never mind that they nerfed my usual main Arakune.

One thing for sure, I like CS more than that broken piece of shit Blazblue.
