NEW "Blazblue Continum: Shift" discussion!

Nice try, but I had it first.

I need this game.

Arrg what do I click on to watch a Nico video? I’ve managed it a couple of times in the past.

The biggest colored button is to login, and you have to login. You can login with

at the login screen, after you fill out those boxes, click the button that’s within the same green space as the one’s you filled.

THanks.

Good lord the announcer is terrible! CT sounded like a woman, this one sounds like an annoying adolescent in the mall that talks to loud.

ROFL.
The announcer couldnt even say Ragna the Bloodedge. It literally sounded retarded.
EDIT: That new track sounds beast.

They picked the sister of the Accent Core announcer? Pretty weak.

I’m really hyped for Tsubaki. She looks to be really effective at lockdowns/mixups at high level play imo. But does anyone else think Hazama looks kinda…gimmicky?

it sounds even worse that the AH announcer -__-

i really hope that Aksys give us a new announcer and the possibility to switch it, like the one on GG2 Overture, but being able to keep the japanese voices

I really hope Hazama can actualy be used well because all the vids I’ve seen of him thus far are pretty underwhelming.

An option to use the GGXX annoucer would be awesome as well, just anything to get that new annoucer to shut it…

You can also use this link without ever having to do anything with a nico account.

Every match vid of Noel features her losing unless she’s fighting a Rachel.

GET HYPE! :frowning:

Dude, it’s Day 1. They’re trying to play her like it’s Continuum Shift, and it’s not working, so every Noel main outside of Japan is dropping her without even touching the game :looney:. Just wait.

I feel sorry for rachel players

but I haven’t seen tager lose a match yet :bgrin:

I’m not dropping her because I know CT habits are running rabid in those vids. Unfortunately, that’s a bad thing for Noel and Rachel since they play so different now. Meanwhile, Ragna, Taokaka, Litchi, Tager, Lambda, Bang, Jin, and Haku-men seem to feel at home to some extent while playing with some of their new toys. Unsure about Arakune though and Tsubaki looks like the most solid of the two new characters. Of course there is the possibility time might change all that though.

My first priority will be learning to protect my guard primers. I just have this weird feeling that it’ll be alot easier to guard crush/get guard crushed at casual/intermediate level play.

Has it been confirmed yet that europe is getting the new characters

@ShinobiBrown: Yeah, exactly. Noel and Rachel players need to start from scratch and relearn their respective characters from the ground up if they hope to compete. Most of the other characters you mentioned, like Taokaka, Litchi and especially Ragna, changed very little and can get away with playing CS like its CT for now. All the while, Tager and Hakumen are busy spamming the shit out of their new tools because they’re actually viable now.

I still have yet to see a Tager try and use Atomic Collider as an anti-air, even though it’s invulnerable to head attribute attacks. I guess it comes from being conditioned to never challenge your opponent’s jump ins, haha.

You spoke too soon. No shame in losing to Kaqn though.

Someone on here said it best: the new announcer sounds like a retarded woman lapsing in and out of consciousness :rofl:. Worst announcer in any fighting game ever?

I wasn’t convinced that AC would become that good as an anti-air if the hit box remained the same size.

Makes sense, especially considering it’s not invincible during the phase of the move where it actually “catches” the opponent, but apparently reports from Japanese players say it’s still a good, functional anti-air. They did say it was ‘situational’ as well, but the guy on Dust Loop who was translating these reports couldn’t elaborate on what they meant.

Until we actually play the game though, we won’t know for sure. The arcade near me will be getting Continuum Shift in the second batch of shipments, so I’ll let you guys know in mid-December :china:.

The new announcer’s voice is OK, but the way she says stuff is fucking stupid; CAROOOLU CLOVA. …and I thought the KoF MI2 announcer was whack.
