[QUOTE=Salaadin;35308109]I see the OP says


The way Im reading it is that this game has Calamity Triggers story content, Continuum Shifts story content, AND new stuff for Makoto, Valkenhayn, Platinum and Relius. Is that right?

As someone who hasnt played Blazblue since the first game, this is huge for me.
Im pretty bad at fighting games but always enjoyed them regardless. I rarely ever take them online though so a meaty single player component is very important to me.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that's right. It doesn't have every branch of CT, just one singular route with multiple characters, but the CS stuff is all completely in here along with even more. That's a ton of content for you.

There is also a survival mode that will last you a long ass time that lets you power up your character in different ways... ummm kinda like that old shitty DBGT psone game

Sounds great. I just nabbed it for the Vita from the Amazon sale so Im really looking forward to it.

Even better.

Has there ever been any sort of fighter without corners? I have this idea stuck in my head that it would be interesting if you had seamless background (that would just loop where the corners would typically be) where most of the action took place in the center screen. I kinda hate corners. Both getting trapped in them, and also taking advantage of them.

Worth it at the time.
 

[QUOTE=KingofSarus;35308263]I'm really salty about "Super BlazBlue II: Arcade Edition" only having one character. lol[/QUOTE]

I like having the DLC characters on disk.

Call me crazy like that.

Now I have useless data on my 360 that I paid money for. Oh well. :\

Tekken used to be like that. It still does a few infinite stages these days.
I can't think of any 2D ones off hand though.

Unless you severely cripple backward movement, wouldn't you have characters that can run away effortlessly until time runs out?

[QUOTE=GuardianE;35314261]Unless you severely cripple backward movement, wouldn't you have characters that can run away effortlessly until time runs out?[/QUOTE]

Backwards is almost always dash. Unless you run under a jumping opponent in GG/BB, even then, it's easily solved by slowing down the speed a percent so that the one on the offense can catch up within a second or two. Wouldn't be much different than trying to run away in a closed arena.

Anyone on EC wanna play some games? I'm free from now until 10pm EST!

EDIT: XBL

Fucking Amazon destroyed my LE and now I can't get a replacement because the item is under review for their poor S&H.

[URL="http://tinyurl.com/7wyc5x3"]Playstation life has a review of the Vita version up[/URL].
[QUOTE]Whereas Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 brings a fun team-based fighter to the Vita, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend gives the system an excellent one-on-one fighter. What’s more, many will see the Vita version of BB:CSE as the definitive one, thanks to the system’s d-pad being friendly to the BlazBlue style. While the “Extend” in the title refers to its additional character and lengthened story, it’s also an accurate description of the way play sessions can last much longer than expected — joyfully so.[/QUOTE]

I didn't really have a problem with PSP's d-pad though. I actually find the Vita's face buttons too close together and d-pad a little too small. Will that help or hurt a game like Blazblue?

Is anyone online tonight? I am so fucking sick of playing against Ragna it's unbelievable.

Well if you're online in a while you can play against Noel! And win. :p

I've gotta do some work on some things, then will be on in a bit.

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND VITA is the #37 best seller in video games on Amazon :D

I'm picking up Blazblue myself. :)

[QUOTE=kuroshiki;35317730]Ugh. Should I get this or MVC3[/QUOTE]

I had to make this choice myself, but since I have UMvC3 for ps3, I got BlazBlue for Vita. Amazon is sold out now though, I think I barely just got my order in.

[QUOTE=kuroshiki;35317730]Ugh. Should I get this or MVC3[/QUOTE]

Depends on what you're looking for. They're both fine choices.

MvC3 is more flashy and crazy. BlazBlue is more technical (but, unlike Street Fighter, the lower difficulty levels are actually easy :P). You can't really go wrong with either game.

WTF SOLD OUT?!

I continue to give no shits about tiers; I'm just sick of him because I've been playing against him all day.

[QUOTE=kuroshiki;35318230]WTF SOLD OUT?![/QUOTE]

Well, Amazon seems to be sold out, but you still have the option of buying it through third party retailers through them~

Add me if you feel like playing online: Stack_Smash

I have it for the VITA (if that matters)

[QUOTE=Akselziys;35318975]Well, Amazon seems to be sold out, but you still have the option of buying it through third party retailers through them~[/QUOTE]
Or just waiting on it to restock and play other games in the meantime, last I checked you could still place an order and make it part of the buy two get one.

[QUOTE=kuroshiki;35318230]WTF SOLD OUT?![/QUOTE]

It's showing "In stock. Processing takes an additional 3 to 4 days."

Man, if I had just one good combo, I could totally kick Fugu's ass lol

i am so free

"All I have are tea packets."

"Tea ba-?"

"Oh, don't even go there, ok. You can't even do that in this game."

[QUOTE=Master Milk;35319846]Man, if I had just one good combo, I could totally kick Fugu's ass lol

Somehow I doubt that.

If I had actual skill, I could beat everyone!

;_;

Man, the high hitstun on everything makes me feel that my execution is almost adequate.

If only I could block, maybe I'd win by Time Over a few times

Anyone around to play on PS3?

(FYI I'm bad)

[QUOTE=Volcynika;35320965]Anyone around to play on PS3?[/QUOTE]
I'm playing right now. Add Fygu and I'll send you an invite.

You and Master Milk are like a match made in heaven. You both need to press the attack buttons like, half as much as you are now.

Isn't it great?

I can hop on 360 tonight if anyone wants to do a few matches. GT is dkblade77

Anyone know where to get this in Canada? Futureshop and Bestbuy cancelled my pre-orders. :(

I ordered the Vita version from Amazon. I can't wait to play it!

It was delayed until later this week, along with Hakuoki.

But why would they cancel pre-orders and then list the game as out of stock on FS and BB?

Guess I'll try to pre-order at EB and hope it's not too late.

This is true. Was hoping to do a trade deal on it. Maybe they will get stock in over the next couple of days.

Is there a 360 lobby up?

If I wanted to block I'd be playing Street Fighter.
