NEW "Blazblue Continum: Shift" discussion!

No, where did you hear that?

Afaik they’re still getting CT, except so late that noone will care anymore since BBCS is just around the corner.

I didn’t see these post but Joybox got some vids up

I’m posting this in this thread as well since it seems that a lot of vids are being posted here. Original thread:

We will be streaming our first cast of Blazblue Continuum Shift either later today 12/3 or hopefully tomorrow. Feed should start some time around 9:30pm - 10:30pm PST/ 12:30am - 1:30am EST. We will have more at much earlier times as the days pass. So favorite the channel and keep checking to be alerted.

P.S.: This is not the launch party, just some of our crazy casuals .

So expect to see upcoming casuals and tournaments from either our Danger Room or AI in the days or weeks to come.

As a Tao main, I’m not worried about this. 5c is a godly poke (in CT) and has uses regardless of counter hit. 2c did not. More of the moveset becomes relevant, you just have to know the character better. Good stuff.

Thanks for the writeup by the way. Keep it coming if you get time. I’m especially curious bout the new guard libra system.

And you’re complaining about the game being too easy? :rofl:

K the new new guard libra system was kinda odd for me. I played probably about two dozen matches and what I got from it was this.

Every character has a certain number of “guard points” or whatever you want to call them (Carl lowest I think with 4 and Tager highest with 10 or 11).

Most normals and specials don’t deal ANY guard libra damage, but every character has 2 or 3 normals/specials that deal guard libra damage and most supers deal guard libra damage also.

These moves when blocked deal 1 or 2 points of guard libra damage (depending on move). Only character with moves that do 2 points of libra damage is Lambda because some of her guard primer moves have multiple hits and more than 1 hit does 1 guard libra damage. It also appeared to me that if green guarded moves dealt “half” guard libra damage. Not sure if that’s correct I just kept noticing that sometimes some of the guard libra points were red and not sure why that was.

Oh ya they also regenerate over time.

Mad the Lambda panicked at the end as he would’ve won otherwise but this turtle fest is a lot of what I expect from hakumen in the future : P [media=youtube]yEMNcTEYVB8[/media]

Bursts if done offensively launch for a combo that’s why they were spamming bursts at the end. I never did an offensive burst but i’m not sure if they are blockable or not.

Okay, thanks. I think guard crushes will be more relevant in CS. I’ve already seen people finish the opponent off with a guard crush, which was impossible in CT. What do you mean by “green guard” though?

I think Tao may depend on libra especially now that 236b doesn’t knock down. No more oki means slower gameplan.

someone ripped the new themes and such to youtube.

Daisuke is GOD TIER. bow to this man.

Dustloop has a system guide which explains the guard primer system in full detail.

Probably best to call it “guard primer” from now on, with “guard libra” being BBCT’s system. To avoid confusion :slight_smile:

Will do.

:pray: Thanks for the links

BTW was it stated how this game will be released for consoles? will it be Downloadable or a Disc?

No new yet on a console release, but given that the arcade release was exactly a year after the first game people are assuming the console release will be the same if not a bit earlier.

I doubt very much that it will be downloadable. Given the size of the story mode and stuff, it will be a disc for sure.

I see, in that case, would there also be a special edition? I got the one that came with the tutorial disc and the 2 disc OST.
It’d be sweet if the SE will be an artbook along with a tutorial disc (and Mike Z showing off awesome new Soviet tactics)

No idea. You should pester aksys via email to do one, I guess.

Awesome! Thanks for this.

Anyone here think we should start a new forum for CS?
I mean, we can’t have the same character threads from the last game and shit, might as well just start a new forum

A new subforum would be nice but that’s up to Mr. Wiz to do that, as for the old character threads I think only a couple of them are still active so unless they get updated with new info and stuff new character threads are gonna become mandatory, but we’ll have to wait and see…

I assume they will just rename this forum. There is barely enough fanbase on SRK for one BB game, let alone two.

I checked out the game this weekend at Arcade Infinity. I think it deserves the true sequel treatment from what I played and story wise. My main Arakune changed quite a bit now that they altered his curse and his bugs are Giant now. There was quite a bit of on-screen chaos when I was facing off against another Arakune player.

I took some vids while was up there. You can find them on this playlist.
