NEW "Blazblue Continum: Shift" discussion!

Something I was noting with arcade CS was that my inputs weren’t coming out as they should have. I could 360 and 720 but 236236 wouldn’t come of with the consistency it did in console CT. does console CS have tighter inputs than CT?

I’ve heard, at least onTVTropes so take that as you will, that she has three personalities, hence the name Platinum Trinity. The thing is that there’s the little girl’s own personality, some boy’s personality, and one of the original six heroes. So, can we technically say that we have a Poison on our hands or something?

And another thing, Hellsing looks like he would fit in an Ace Attorney game.

That staff is HUGE!!!

I figured Platinum might be weird thanks to the heart staff, but wow, that’s odd even by BlazBlue standards. Really underestimated how major her personality shifts are! Valk looks…well, like Valk. Not much to say there, but that’s hardly a bad thing.

Trying to reserve any judgment on any characters until I play them, but I rather like them already. All are more than interesting enough to shell out for IMO, especially since the game itself is only $40 anyway.

There’s a lot of speculation that Valkenhayne is a werewolf. Check out the pin on his jacket and his drive emblem

I’m glad that the cast is getting larger, even if that means Noel has more bad match-ups, its better than fighting Ragna and Jin all day.

Mmm. New theme songs. Underage girl and badass (werewolf?) butler. Wake me when we find out whether or not Valkenhayn has Dandy Step, BDC Mappa Hunch, absolutely retarded damage, and a lot of silly popping and whooshing noises whenever he does anything.

Getting Hype about this game… might need to start playing BB more.

I saw a few videos of BBCS from Jourdal on Youtube, I take it a few people have it over in the states as well anyone played it yet? The console version I mean.

Yeah, some of us got it through import on ps3 due to it being region free, and 360 through either import (if they have a Japanese 360) or by other means.

Someone on my friends list has a japanese 360 and is playing it as I type this, 22 days is far too long to wait, I might have to do what Cartman did for the Wii, and freeze myself until the 27th. Does anyone know if they plan on releasing a demo of the game on XBL? it seems like every fighting game I care about never does.

I dont think there would be. Most fighting games dont release demos for some reason, but im geussing Continuum Shift is going to be Calamity Trigger pimped out with new modes, characters, improved online play stuff like that.

I dont think they’ll make Valkenhayn a Slayer clone. if Anything, and if he is indeed a werewolf - I could see him playing like A.B.A with a central focus around “werewolf” installs.

if thats the case I’m guessing his move set will consist of more references to the moon than Judith from ToV. I’m wondering if he’ll have a weapon, or just claw at his opponents.

tao vs werewolf dude?!

So when are these new characters suppose to drop?

Well Makoto is scheduled to drop on August 5th, if I remember correctly. Could be wrong. As far as Platinum and Valkenhayn… No idea.

That was August 5th in Japan right?

She’s supposed to drop the same day for both Japan and America, because she will be complete by then, complete meaning she will have both language sets.

They said they going to drop at the same time global but I highly doubt it. NA PSN Store took forever to release the DLC CT had.

I imagine Makoto will be a worldwide release, since they’ll have to patch her in anyway for JP and NA games to be compatible online (expect her to be EU DLC day one). All other content, though, they may choose to release in a similar schedule post-release since it doesn’t affect gameplay.
