BlazBlue Calamity Trigger/Contiuum Shift

Hey does anyone want to fight me in this sometime?
I only know one person to fight which is pretty depressing especially because I have both console versions

New story mode characters. Torakaka and Platina the Trinity.

Basically says Platina hates Ragna (WHAT A FUCKING SURPRISE) and Torakaka is a warrior from the kaka clan and like a big sister to tao

As the trailer opens, we can see that Noel is having trouble getting the TV to work. No surprise there

Then there are a bunch of wings. I'm guessing this is Hakumen taking his idol-worship of Sephiroth to a whole new level.

Ragna and Hazama stare at each other angrily.
Well, Ragna at least is angry. Hazama is still just trolling him

Then a giant eye and some hair fills the screen.
Who the hell is that? From the looks of the hair color, it's Zelos Wilder.

Then we're treated to some flying artwork of our hero himself.
As always, he has equals signs in between the parts of his name, because why not.

Then there is an animated cutscene of Arakune being awesome. Which is great and all but shouldn't someone more important be here? I mean, we haven't seen any Jin/Rachel/Hakumen/Lambda yet.
Probably. I think the Zelos impostor was actually Tsubaki, and her wide-eyed stare was most likely accompanied by the line "Noel, did you seriously forget to put on your uniform again?"

The other characters now have their artwork flung at the screen, broken up by bits of animated cutscene of Ragna about to lose horribly against Hazama.
There's also one second of Jin being really gay.
I think.
No I am not about to go back and look for it.

Also included in this medley of marginally-interesting footage is Litchi hitting Arakune with her stick, or her arm, or something else I can't even recognize.
Yes Litchi you're tracking down Arakune we know that already
Please go do that off in the sewer while the rest of us focus on things that actually matter
Like one second of Hakumen's feet. Okay is that really necessary

At the end is a clip of Ragna reaching out, as though to save someone who's falling down a hole.
I wonder who that could NOEL

And then Ragna has blood on his face. They should call him RAGNA=THE=BLOODFACE
hahahaha
After that you can see Nu's face for a moment. You just know she's thinking about licking the blood off of Ragna.

Then Noel (or Pantsless Noel. Hard to tell when the camera isn't focused on her lack of pants) says some things I guess. Yeah this trailer is kind of boring actually

Hazama does a troll laugh and Ragna points at him, probably trying to raise an objection.
He gives up on that and tries to flip Hazama the bird, but his finger gets stuck, so he settles for going into super mode instead.
We see him using Devoured by Darkness on Hazama.
Well, case closed everyone. I'm sure that's the last we'll be seeing of that spooky old ghost

Then Nii-san wants a turn, so the trailer cuts to him using YOUR SO STUPID on Ragna.
Some reward. Saves the whole world only to have Jin shoot him in the dick. No amount of shaking the control stick back and forth will get you out of that one I'm afraid

Then the trailer shifts into sales pitch mode and lists the NEW AND EXITING FEATURES
Like STORY MODE
Starring HAKUMEN LOOKING COOLLY IN THE WRONG DIRECTION
Over here, dumbass
With special guest star BANG SHISHIGAMI getting beat by women.
Hey, at least he's not losing to little girls this time

And then CHALLENGE MODE
Starring THE MAGNIFICENT ARAKUNE
With special guest star BANG SHISHIGAMI getting beat by insects. He is a true hero

And then TUTORIAL MODE
Starring RACHEL "THE OBLITERATOR" ALUCARD as she makes fun of scrubs. I can hear her already.
"No, the A button. I'm not going to have to teach you the alphabet, am I? I sincerely hope you know what the color blue is."
With special guest star BANG SHISHIGAMI about to be used as a punching bag by Ragna.
Fight on, brave hero of Ikaruga. You are an inspiration to us all.

Then Noel uses Zero-Gun: Fenrir (What do you mean you haven't memorized the names of every attack?) because this also is a key feature of the game.
And then, since that's just not enough Noel, Pantsless Noel does a shiny attack as well.
Okay that attack is kind of cool looking actually

BLAZBLUE CONTINUUUUM SHIFT
COMING NEXT MONTH TO A GAME CONSOLE NEAR YOU
AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT A FAG AND ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY GET IT OF COURSE
I MEAN JUST LOOK AT THIS TRAILER HOW COMPELLING CAN YOU GET

Then Ragna sparkles for a couple seconds. This makes sense because he's half vampire.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE
THE LIMITED EDITION VERSION COMES WITH THE GAME'S SOUNDTRACK WHICH HAS LIKE FIVE NEW SONGS ON IT AND IS PROBABLY JUST GOING TO GET PIRATED INTO OBLIVION
AND ALSO some uh...business cards? What the heck are those
AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE A NOEL FIGURINE. Well shit, sign me up

The end.
Yeah...I didn't really like the trailer that much but it's reminding me of how much I want this game to come out and also for it to be good, which isn't a guarantee...
The hype feels kind of good though, so that's okay.
Seriously, I've gone without playing BlazBlue for so long, I forgot what Tao's victory taunt was.
Yeah.

they're phone cards. Melty blood did the same thing

except theirs were sexy

The girl to the right of Hazama.

Who is this and why is she important enough to be on the soundtrack?
I'm guessing it's Makoto but that doesn't answer my second question


Also it was Carl's birthday on May 5th. That means he gets an Official Birthday Art

Spoiler:

Man I love making fun of this game
You can tell I'm the biggest fan because I hate it more than anyone. The same is true of Kingdom Hearts

Its probably Mu.

I'll challenge that.

Your doing great, Catbread. Never stop posting in this thread, seriously.

Murders wrote:Its probably Mu.

There's no way.
Pantsless Noel does not have brown hair or a hat or pants.
But who knows? That image IS kind of blurry. It might be

Awesome comic XD

I think I like this one more than the original Lust SIN.

rrrgh I wanna play BlazBlue so badly my heart could explode so I am supposed to avoid thinking about it too much.
But this time I have important, potentially new information so I must take one for the team.

Here is it:



Carl's dad is fucking hardcore

Also



Here's a video containing English Hazama, but I can't tell whether he's got his pro Calamity Trigger voice or not...
According to the Wikipedia article, he does, but I can't really accept that as true just yet.

It's worth pointing out that according to the same article, Tsubaki's and Noel's/v13's/Saya's/Lambda's/Pantsless Noel's VAs are unchanged as well.
If that's true, works for me. The fewer voices get changed, the better...even if it's Noel's.

LKSDFJSLFKJ

I read "Clover" in the japanese scan and i was like "WAIT IS THAT CARL'S DAD"

he looks awesome

Dammit!
Today's one of those days where I want to play BlazBlue a lot more than usual for no reason at all.
So I was getting ready to try and avoid thinking about it today
and then this happens:



DLC: Makoto.

And also apparently downloadable announcer voices for people who hate the CS announcer (in other words, everyone. IT WAS A MONEY MAKING SCHEME ALL ALONG), including characters from the game itself, such as Jin, Carl, and...somebody else. I forget who it was.

Thanks a lot for making the best/worst game ever Aksys you stupid faggots

Lol, Sounds great, I will be able to play CS sanely now.

Even though, ironically, all three of the confirmed announcer voices are insane.

Oh lol.....

Well I am just saying that the new announcer voice I really didn't like that much.

Yeah, pretty much no one likes it.
I just thought the alternate announcer options were kind of funny.

They should have Hakumen as one of the options. That would be hilarious-
Wait...nvm he already is

SWEET. It was obvious they'd have the whole noel trio playable, but when the fuck is Makoto gonna be released to download?

Giotto wrote:SWEET. It was obvious they'd have the whole noel trio playable, but when the fuck is Makoto gonna be released to download?

If they're got the sprites and things ready, it shouldn't be long at all.
Maybe she'll be included in the US version cause its release is so far away- or at least there won't be any wait period.

But having to buy DLC characters would suck cause they're basically required...

Also, how's she going to fit into the story modez if she's optional? Will she still get special openings/dialogue for different characters?
I'm assuming so, but you never can be sure

Also more character themes = win

Lol Hakumen as the annoucer that would be to rediculous. Sadly I will probably have some awesome character doing annoucments if thats the case.
