Just saw the videos awhile ago and I'm in agreement, but I meant because she wasn't being use effectively that it was hard see much of her potential.

Makoto is looking pretty ridiculous right now though. i'm surprised they didn't change her 0 frame startup super..

Really? Steins look faster to me and her pressure much tighter and scarier for that matter. The damage nerf also hasn't seemed to affected her as much as most of others too.

And yeah Makoto is pretty much the new "Bang" now, perhaps even stronger.

The full version of CSII's OP was released with the 2nd Song Accord album. It's a pretty good song.

fairly solid. a definite change from Kotoko.

SilverSyko · 2010-12-19, 01:12

Also got a vocal version of Alexandrite and a duet of Memory of Tears.

Would've liked some more male vocal versions (preferably Rebellion and Gluttony Fang) but guess you can't always win. =/

Found this video and figured I post it here seeing as how people seem to enjoy the new opening. The fact that due to the way the subs were done that it has the appearance of an anime fansub doesn't hurt either.

BBCS2 has been announced for PSP release in March. PSP exclusive features include 4P Versus Mode (which I'm going to assume is just 2 fighters and 2 spectators in ad-hoc and not something REALLY stupid) and Abyss mode, a dungeon RPG-like mode.

Nerroth · 2010-12-20, 01:28

News about a PSP version is good to see. Here's hoping Aksys will get it over to the West in the not too distant future.

Footage of Nagoya Street Battle 18 is up, all first 17 NSB's were for Street Fighter IV/Super Street Fighter IV but NSB18 turned into BlazBlue Continuum Shift 2 championships.

http://shoryuken.com/content/nagoya-...pionship-2953/

5 hours of footage.

yezhanquan · 2011-01-02, 05:33

Just started with CT. I swear I hear Kyon every time Ragna feels the need to snark.

Myukii · 2011-01-02, 18:06

That game is awesome, the characters are the best part of all *--*
But I think the graphics could be a little better e.e' But still awesome

KrimzonStriker · 2011-01-03, 05:40

Which part of the graphics, because if we're talking about the high-definition 2D sprites I will cry heresy right here and now I swear, say no to blocky 3D rendering in fighting games!!

If we're talking animation.... yeah, you're probably right, though the last attempt with the BBCS2 intro song was actually pretty good in my opinion.

yezhanquan · 2011-01-03, 06:09

Indeed. Between portraits for CT and CS, I prefer CT's for the older characters. Especially Noel. Speaking of her...

Spoiler for Thoughts on Noel:

Talking about the graphics, I still think they could be better. But it depends. If they wanted the characters would look like real animes, the graphics are nice. Although you can show up this by a different way too.

yezhanquan · 2011-01-04, 05:32

Lord, the animations in CT are BAD. No excuses.

Anyway, been thinking of some character designs to answer a question of mine: How would the characters be like without Hazama/Terumi and Relius as we know them?

Spoiler for the siblings..:

Spoiler for the Clover family:

BBCS2 on 3DS.

SilverSyko · 2011-01-08, 01:17

Sorta surprising but understandable.

I'm sure a lot of developers want to jump on Nintendo's non-glasses 3D technology train ASAP.

yezhanquan · 2011-01-08, 05:34

No CS2 for PC? Sad.

Speaking of her... Spoiler for Thoughts on Noel: She's one of the few characters I can relate to. Like her, somehow I don't like talking to people much, and sometimes, I am a little insecure about myself. That aside, her story is rather interesting, even for BlazBlue. I very much prefer that her alternate ending in CT (the cosplay/fun time with Litchi/Lao Jiu) be the canon, if only not to see her cry or otherwise hurt. Her split with Tsubaki in CS reminds me of the split between Misato and Ritsuko in EVA, in the sense that once close friends drift apart because of their causes/ambition. Spoiler for Some questions post-CS: From what I've read, I understand that Ragna managed to restore her at the price of his arm. Did she still have her guns with her? Also, did she manage to outgrow her shyness after the restoration? __________________

Anyway, been thinking of some character designs to answer a question of mine: How would the characters be like without Hazama/Terumi and Relius as we know them? Spoiler for the siblings..: Name: Jean Vermillion/ "Jin Kaneshiro" A clingy boy while young, Jean grew up together with his brother and sister under the care of a mysterious woman, who suddenly disappeared when Jean was about 9. She only left them a note, saying "The world is waiting." Their older brother then led them to an orphanage, where he left Jean and their sister. The two siblings were eventually adopted by the Vermillion family. To replay their kindness, Jean joined the NOL, and soon distinguished himself in both studies and combat arts. Deeply impressed, Jean was then given the blade known only as Yukinesa. He became known as the "hero of Ikaruga" after that war. However, this title was given to him by both the NOL and the Ikaruga exiles. Unlike many NOL operatives, Jean never resorted to unneeded bloodshed, and indeed saved the guardian from his burning castle by freezing the flames which had surrounded them. Also, it was the guardian who gave him his alias "Jin Kaneshiro", Kaneshiro meaning "golden city" in a dialect used in Ikaruga and referencing his golden hair, and "Jin" another form of his given name, Jean. The young officer was honoured, and "Jin Kaneshiro" became the name he was known by in many circles. To all those who know him, Jean seemed a cool, collected and sometimes calculating person. However, he concealed a volcano underneath that exterior. It was said that his temper and passion was tempered by Yukinesa, without which he was sure that he would have difficulty staving off a heart attack even at his tender age. That temper/passion did much harm in his relationship with his younger sister. Both were hotheaded as kids and bickered about things big and small. But, when push comes to shove, Jean will be there to help her, in ways such that she doesn't know, of course. Similarly, in private, he helped with the resettlement of the Ikaruga exiles, and is an infrequent sparring partner of Bang Shishigami. Name: Sarah Vermilion/ "Saya Kaneshiro" Jean's younger sister. Relatively shy and retiring compared to his brother, Sarah joined the NOL to repay the Vermillions' kindness as well. Though never as good as her brother, she was good enough to secure Bolverk as her weapon of choice. Just as Yukinesa had tempered her brother's rage, Bolverk was boisterous in battle, hence helping Sarah in that department. In the NOL, she was both kindly and unkindly refered to as "Jean's little sister". Indeed, she took the name "Saya Kaneshiro" despite her brother's protest that his name had been given as an honour. ("Saya" of course being a corruption of her name) She did not have many close friends, despite her many acquantainces. Her best friends were Tsubaki Yayoi and Makoto Nanaya. Between Tsubaki's class and Makoto's energy, Sarah was... subdued. However, when ticked, Sarah will erupt like her brother. Doubly so if you mention her lack of "assets". * Hobbies: Shopping via the internet (so she can compare prices quickly and easily), writing poems (shows them to anyone who cared to read) * Values: Parents / Family * Likes: Anything cute (not to the extent of becoming an idiot, mind you) * Dislikes: Bugs, especially ones with lots of legs Name: Ragna (of the Bloodedge) The oldest of the siblings, Ragna wandered about after leaving his siblings at the orphanage. Although he cared for them, their guardian's note stirred something in his heart. Indeed, the world was waiting. In his travels, Ragna saw the darkness of the world for what it is. However, he never did let them get him down. He deals with it by basically insulting anyone who would rub him off the wrong way. As fate will have it, as his siblings joined the NOL, Ragna found himself under Sector 7, NOL's mortal enemy in terms of ideology. Learning much from his time there, he eventually rebelled, and left to journey the world again. Before he left, he did use the science he learnt to create a weaopon he nicknamed "the Bloodedge". Despite their opposing superiors, the siblings did keep in touch secretly, enjoying many a meal in backyard stalls hidden in the alleys of the city. To be sure, Sector 7 is not actively seeking his return. However, he had caused enough trouble for the NOL to put a sizeable bounty on his head. Spoiler for the Clover family: Name: Ignis Clover Mother to both Ada and Carl, Ignis is a tough woman living in a tough world. After all, one earns that label when she can bring up two children single-handedly after her husband decided to take off, pursuing "science". She never mentions him in front of them and the siblings too accepted her as their mother and father. She did many odd jobs in order to support the family, and did not have the time to discipline them. She only had one rule for them: Do no evil. Name: Carl and Ada Clover The Clover siblings are close, but their personalities are as different as chalk and cheese. While Carl is shy and studious, Ada is outspoken and street-smart. When Carl managed to enter the Academy, Ada sulked for the entire duration (about a few months). During his time there, Carl picked up enough to begin his tinkering. While never good with books, Ada did her best to help her brother, securing materials and information through her own means. Eventually, the siblings cast two puppets, one for each sibling. For Carl, his puppet resembled Ada and is nicknamed "Nirvana". For Ada, her puppet resembled Carl and bears the name "Samsara". The puppets are also symbols for their family ties: some blood from each sibling was used in the casting. With the puppets by their sides, both Carl and Ada know that even if they ever got separated, they would never be alone. __________________ Last edited by yezhanquan; 2011-01-04 at 10:13.
