Good shit Kyle! Dude's a beast.

I was actually slated to do commentary but I didn't have the funds to pull through to SB :( I'll be doing NEC in December though.

Hopefully this comes soon. I"m willing to give BB a second chance now after the Tekken debacle. Even though I don't trust Arc all that much, I know that the port will be top-notch, and the online will be good. For their sakes they gotta beat out SSFIV though.

Hey All,

I know its been awhile but just wanted to give you the guys the heads up on an upcoming BlazBlue tournament that we're sponsoring here in So. Cal at the Hawthorne Athletic Exchange aka HAX. The event is being held on Saturday, Nov 14th and the festivities start at 10:00 AM. There is an entry fee *gasp but the prizing is set at $2200 so it'll definitely be worth your while if not for the bragging rights alone. More details here: http://activegamersla.com/ Hope to see you guys there!

I'm like a Hadouken, down-right Fierce!
Blazblue Continuum Shift is out today!



I got to play a little bit of it over lunch... only got one run in because it's only noon and no one is playing. I actually had to leave my game because I was running late to get back to work. :lol The arcade I go to (Ko-hatsu) has it set up in an Astro City cabinet so it's not full HD but the game still looks great and it's fun.

I play as Tager so I was using him today and if you've kept up with the location test info, he has two new moves, Gadget Finger and 4D, a new magnetizing move. Gadget Finger is like Ragna's ground throw, so you can't really combo into it but Tager has a lot of cool setups he can do if you can predict what your opponent is going to do next. There were no players around but you can do stuff like Gadget Finger into 360/720 or Atomic Collider if you think they'll jump to avoid the Tager Driver.

If you liked BB you'll love this game, and hell, it can't get any more unbalanced than CT was.:lol :lol I'll be playing more this weekend when I go to the ko-hatsu tournament.

Tried out CS yesterday night at AI. Rachel seems a lot diff... diff enough for me not to be able to do my usual bnb strings and combos. BUT!! Tsubaki is awesome!

I might go back today even if it's like a 30-40 min drive =D

edit: Tager got huge buffs from what I saw. Once magnetized, he goes into a guessing game. If I got hit in a combo and did nothing, Tager would do the DP throw and would do nothing. He can combo from that now.

Bang and Litchi are definitely top as well. Hazama and Tsubaki have potentials. Tao seems like the new akuma too... Hard to pick up with low hp but ridiculous combos (taunt combo is the new carl loop)

I haven't seen any lambda players... I went back today and still NO lambda players.

Tried out rachel again, and she wasn't too bad... Just felt that I need to relearn her, but I don't feel like she's bottom tier like a lot of people say. There was a tournament today so there was a bunch of people. I just need to go on a day where no one is there and need to sit down and play through the arcade with Tsubaki and Rachel to really know.

But for now, Bang, Carl and Litchi seem like the best. From what I could tell, Bang's core gameplay is the same as CT... Just does a LOT more damage once those combos start.

Carl lost the loop, but seemed like every hit he does goes into a semi loop (and damaging).

I haven't seen too much of Litchi so far, but her combos look a lot more complex but also do more damage.

A lot of players were using Hazama, but his combos just don't do enough damage. Same as Tsubaki (does even less dmg than Hazama). But since these are new characters, I think a lot of things are going to open up in the future.

I haven't seen many Noels or Jins either. Noel's core still looks the same... The air DD has a HUGE recovery time now, so it's not spammable anymore. I think she's able to do her bnb from CT, but from some videos I have seen, it looked like she got some better (and more complex) ones. Jin's ice doesn't stun as much as before.

Oh yeah, finally saw an Arakune in action. Without his bugs, he's sub par, but once he curses you, those bugs are HUGE and that curse time is pretty long. From what I've seen, he depends on the curse to win... Most of the time, Arakune is losing until he gets curse mode activated and makes a comeback.

Keep in mind that these are VERY early notes with a small sample size (from Arcade Infinity). I think AI just got them last week so the players are still figuring out the characters.

Went to AI on Friday and played some Continuum Shift. Arakune changes were driving me crazy. Maybe I'll warm up to it eventually.

I liked most of the Hakumen changes though. Charging the 6C move for extra stun is awesome. New 4C move is cool too.

Wow, I just got BB a few weeks ago and I forgot about this. Will this be a new disc or DLC if it is getting released in the US?

We don't know yet but if it's another $50 game for only two new characters, that's pretty shitty.

maybe it'll follow SSFIV pricing which is $29 or 39. Not sure which one since I haven't been following SSFIV news, but that was the rumor pricing.

Pretty sure it's going to be a new disc... New sprites, new backgrounds, new announcer, new UI... It's not just adding two chars, it's a major overhaul (well, not that major, but big enough to have a new disc).

At this point, don't really care if it's $60... I just want it on my ps3 instead of having to go to AI to play =(

Anyway, I think I'm going to be at AI on Wednesday evening, so any gaffers wanna go? :D

EDIT: WTF AT MY AVATAR! CHANGE IT BACK

I'd really appreciate the lower price. Q1 is full of releases and I couldn't justify spending $60 for a mildly decent upgrade.

:lol That's what happens when you don't host it yourself. Maybe I'll change it back...

I just realized how close AI is from me. I thought it was in LA, but it's closer than that. Still it's like 40 mins so I might just go once or twice before the game is out.

The European version of BB is definitely Calamity Trigger. It's a damn shame they took so long to release it here, but you don't seriously think Europe would have the honor of getting the console version of Continuum Shift first, did you ?

Is there an exact date for EU release? CS most likely won't get a home port until after a year. Arcade operators need to make back their money.

You told me I could use it.

Anyway, I'm most likely headed to AI on wednesday evening/night... Wanna meet up and figure things out?

Anyone still playing this online? I'm beginning to get tired of the rage quitters and general retardedness of Tekken 6, and was thinking of getting back to BB for a bit.

When I gave it to you, I thought you would save it and put it on your own host or something like that. No biggie though. Anyway, if I go it'll probably be on saturday or sunday, I can't go on weekdays because of work.

Could just be unlimited versions of all the characters. That's kind of like new.

That's nothing like new. Maybe if they did what they did on GGX2, where each ex character had completely new alternate moves, then maybe I'd give them a break.

They should be cutting Europe a break and giving them Continuum Shift. The PSP version should also be Continuum Shift.

Aka- Sure!
