BlazBlue (Calamity Trigger, Continuum Shift, Chrono Phantasma)

[Fenrir_valindri]

Heh, my personal theory is she will take up Bolverk (Noel's Guns), since Noel is now Nu 12 and no longer wields them.

Unlikely I know, but still.

Am I the only one who wants Makoto added into the next game? I mean, she's not my favorite character... but I like her, and I think it'd be interesting. ^^;

... also I feel badly for her seeing as she seems to be left out while her friends are all playable. >w>;

[iwatch2muchanime]

lol the only characters that were seen throughout story mode i even cared about as being playable was Hazama, which has happened. So i'm good lol.

[momobunny]

I wanted to see Tsubaki, Makoto, and Kokonoe become playable... I got Tsubaki, and in a way Kokonoe is at least more involved... now there's just Makoto... and whoever comes into the story mode in CS that I really like. >w>;

Makoto is on the cover of the drama CD with the main characters... so I assume she's at least going to get a big role in that.

[Arbitres]

Haku-men happened. All I care about other then Nu/Lambda.

If only she could say my name like she did Ragna's.

The achievements for Continuum Shift have been announced.

Spoiler for CS Story:

If they're to be believed, then unlike CT there won't be just one True End.

"END OF FILE
View the True End of any character."

[Xion Valkyrie]

I'm saddened by the lack of new Mu media =/

[germanturkey]

yeah, we discussed on DL that maybe Makoto would be the "Noel" character of CS. but apparently that isn't true.

and yes, we need more of dat ass.

and upon further analysis, i CANNOT play Rachel for the life of me. like i'm working through CT's story mode, and i'm barely passable with most characters, but my god, i cannot combo together ANYTHING with her. and go figure the two characters i enjoy playing, Nu and Hakumen don't have story modes..

Actually they do, but you need to get at least one ending for all the other 10 characters first.

I never used any skill in story mode anyway for characters I'm not good with, I just mashed buttons or spammed cheap moves.


I wish I could read the names of those Acheivements. Some of them look hilarious. =p

[germanturkey]

yeah, i figured i could mash with the characters, but rachel has nothing you can mash. i was like, wtf..

Just a taste.

Just like the last one, the Japanese names for the achievements are full of parodies

Two new NPC characters revealed for CS's story mode:

Spoiler for Relius Clover (left) and Phantom (right):

I gotta say, I LOVE Relius' badass design. It reminds me a lot of Godot from Phoenix Wright. =p

Not much to say about Phantom. Just that she might be related to Nine.

[Arbitres]

Actually the hat reminds me of Nine (Going by Haku-men's memory of the group.)

I'm actually more interested in Phantom rather then Relius Clover.

[germanturkey]

yeah, i was going to say, "you're sure that isn' nine?" i love the story of this game.. i wish the heroes were unlockables in the console version. i wanna play as Slay-, i mean Valk..

[Shinndou]

I seriously hope they make Relius a playable character in the third installment of this series.

As much as I'd like that too, I kinda doubt it as it was demonstrated in the 2nd PV he fights in a very similar way Carl does.

Course I'd say replace Carl with Relius but then the shotacons would be unhappy. =/

I'm glady willing for Arcsys to prove me wrong though. =D

[KrimzonStriker]

There's nothing to say that they still can't be different even if they have similar styles. Some compare Ragna and Tsubaki along those lines. And every new entry in the series is going to want to have new characters in any event, Relius is as good a candidate as any.

[Tokkan]

Mori and Ishiwatari said at the FanimeCon Q&A panel that the console rebalance won't come until about 6 months after the release, it will be in the form of a patch. I'm guessing they're waiting until they can release a BBCSVer.1.5 to arcades. I doubt another new BlazBlue is coming to arcades at the end of this year, they're probably going to spend more time developing characters for the 3rd installment. (In case anyone is wondering, it takes about 3 months to draw all the frames for just one character's sprite.)
