Continuum Shift is for arcades so port about a year later?

 

[xero273]

so part of the blazblue scan is out. The character in this scan isn't Tsubaki.

Who is it then?

Googling that name yielded some interesting images lol.

I forgot to post this here, its a little off topic but a few weeks ago I finished my Hakumen puzzle fighter stick.

That is the most beautiful thing I've ever laid eyes on.

;_;

 

[xero273]

Who is it then?

All I know is we didn't see this person in the first game. At least not me. Some guy from dustloop says that's Tsubaki, but looking at the scan, it doesn't. Oh well need better scan. Looks like she is carrying a short sword in the right hand and don't know what the she is carrying in her left hand

EDIT: looks like it is Tsubaki since people are saying the scan has the name tsubaki.

I only saw her once in story mode, but I haven't beaten it with everyone so I might see her more. I hope they decide to add Jubei as well. They might leave him for the next installment, but I'd rather get him now.

If Tsubaki is coming I'm rather glad anyway. Arc has been absolutely amazing with their female characters in this franchise so I can't wait to see what they do with her. The guys have alot of fuck ups though.

:lol

Yes, it is. It says her name right next to her ("ツバキ"), plus her eyes and hair bands match.

yea, I found out in the famitsu thread.

 

[Papercuts]

As long as valkenhayn is in I'll be happy.

Also: Lol jin.

I also had a weird ass glitch in a match earlier, video will be up in a few minutes. Somehow I escaped Bang's command throw but he still did the animation and I still took damage without being in his grasp...I think. :lol

Thats fucked up. :lol

I'm still not really sure how that happened.

Yeah, she is also obviously a NOL officer. Look at das boots. Tsubaki for sure.

Am I the only one who hasn't played single player and dont know who these ppl are? =(

That poor guy must've been super pissed after that. I won't barrier burst against Tager unless I'm about to die. One mistake can make that happen.:lol

I think I've had that happen once, but I can't remember exactly when. This game is pretty glitch-free for the most part so it ain't so bad. You would have died regardless of the animation glitch though.

PS
I got the message Giolon. Tsubaki definitely looks pretty strange compared to her counterpart in story mode. It looks like she will be rocking a sword/shield combo, but I can't be to sure since that shield looks like some sort of book(you can see page-like grooves over, and under what looks like an eye). I look forward to trying her out!

Thanks!

 

[SuperMattyFighter2T]

I hope the other new characters are Terumi and Valkenhayn.

Haha that's a pretty sick glitch.

Nope. :lol

Spoiler

Although I did see her briefly at some point in Jin's. I've only done Jin and Arakune so far

 

[rockman zx]

New moves look great.

 

[Lyte Edge]

Same here! :lol All I've ever done in the game are network and versus.

You guys should check the story mode out. There are some seriously wacked out moments for some of the characters, and others even seem to have a long history. I'm almost at the end of the main story mode, and I've just become aware of the fact that Arc has nearly all of this franchises past, and future characters packed into story mode. The beautiful stills alone are reason enough to play it.

I hope the other new characters are Terumi and Valkenhayn.

I just want to get my hands on Jubei. A more powerful Taokaka would be an awesome secondary character to have.

 

[Flek]

is it confirmed that its going to be a new version of the game not a update to old blazblue?

 

[ZealousD]

Also: Lol jin.

Holy shit. :lol

It was his fault though. He got antsy and wanted to finish the match so quickly that he bursted long before he needed to.

I'm sure Dragon loves this. The power of science is awesome until people catch on. :lol

Why don't you put my movies on? :lol

I haven't played this in a log time. We need to get some games going. I'm willing to host a 360 room. Fuck lag, fuck skills. Just come and mash buttons and see shit happen on the screen and have some fun. Anybody up?

I'm game, but won't be around late tonight or tomorrow.

 

[sixteen-bit]

The new UI and stage look really nice

The story is great when you get into it, and it's told remarkably well for a fighting game in particular. Hell, the Teach Me, Ms Litchi alone is worth playing through story mode.

 

[Nyx]

I find the story mode pretty meh tbh, I don't play a fighter to choose between answers in some weird twisted story.

But, as I see a lot of people think it's great, I might give it another try.

BlazBlue Puzzle Fighter?

 

[xero273]

I don't think anyone really knows. The UI changed and so far one new character has been shown. Anyone in J-gaf going to the rumored loketest this weekend?

 

[usea]

So I just bought this game, and I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I've settled into playing arakune, but I'm pretty extremely lacking in knowledge. Where can I learn a bit more? For example I played against the cpu arakune and he was able to jump way higher than I know how to. Basically what are some things I can do (with arakune or just in general) to get past mega newbie stage.

PS I don't have xbl.

 

[Jube3]

You were my blazblue dream killer. Tokus hiding somewhere in the alps still lol.

You can check these videos out. They are the official move list/combo strategy guides from dustloop themselves.

I also thought I would settle in with litchi, but ended up with Bang so I'll just give you the whole page for future reference just in case you want to change up.

PS
Anyone up for some games today? I have to go to work so I'll only be up until 11PM EST time.

Yea, I also loved Tager, Bang, and Taokaka's stories. Arc has really put alot of work into evolving story mode play in fighters. Capcom, and SNK have their work cut out for them.:lol

Edit:
usea whatever you do don't play grifter.:lol

 

[ultim8p00]

There's an UPDATE!

 

[sixteen-bit]

There's an UPDATE!

is Tsubaki playble?

 

[Toshin]

is this where the loketest is being held?
http://www.japan-hopper.com/ws/post/1/2/707.html is this where game center hey is located?

 

[ultim8p00]

is Tsubaki playble?

No, I don't know what the update does. It was fairly lengthy though.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

There's an UPDATE!

Hype! Hype! Hype!

 

[Grifter]

You were my blazblue dream killer. Tokus hiding somewhere in the alps still lol.

I had to check if he de-friended me. :lol I bet he'll return one day and beat on me like Rocky on Drago but with more perfect rounds.

My buddy's Haku is hitting 3+ j.2c's on me in combos, so demoralizing.

usea whatever you do don't play grifter.

wat

 

[FoxSpirit]

I love this game... but i get so stressed out playing it >.<

 

[usea]

Thanks Jos, really appreciate it. This is my first time spending more than 30 min with an arc sys game

 

[SolarPowered]

wat

I'm so sorry. I can't let a junior face that kind of punishment.

:lol :lol :lol

 

[DY_nasty]

Go to dustloop... etc.

A link to the Continuum Shift stuff over at dustloop in case anyone is interested.

 

[HotGarbage]

Interesting stuff. Hopefully it's DLC :x.

In other news I want to play this game, but have found that it's more trouble than it's worth trying to play with the 360 pad 8/. -70$ here I come.

 

[ZealousD]

You might want to remove those links. Linking to scans is a no-no.

 

[Perfect Blue]

Scans look sexy. Man, I LOVE this game.

 

[remz]

Continuum Shift possibly the version Europe is getting? :0

 

[usea]

I'm so sorry. I can't let a junior face that kind of punishment.

Not only did I say I don't have xbl, but I'm not a junior. Am I misunderstanding you?

 

[hikarutilmitt]

I'd say its less "possibly" and more "likely" or just plain definite. The fact the earlier press releases about it mentioned 2 characters more and now we have BBCS showing up means it's more or less guaranteed. I'm just hoping it's a simple patch for us in the US and Japan. It shouldn't be THAT hard to pack 2 new characters, some stage mods (since they're models and not sprites) maybe 2 more pieces of music and the graphics for a new HUD (plus whatever system changes) into a modest 100MB or so patch.

They'll probably charge for it though, this looks like a usual ARC revision (Like GGXX Slash or something) so I guess we can expect to pay for it.

A free patch would be nice, but I think it's far more likely as DLC/a new disc.

 

[Q8D3vil]

is there any chance that the new character + updates will be released as dlc ?

i dont think its possible to add character to a fighting game unless it was already in the cd ( im talking about u soul calibur )

they could. We'll just have to wait and see what they are going to do DLC or brand new game/disc.
