I think the Vita version is fantastic and I'm having an easier time pulling off moves on it than I ever did on my Dualshock 3. I haven't tried the game online as I am strictly scrub tier but the Vita version is so far perfect in terms of port quality. And you haven't lived until you've seen the game running on that OLED in person. I geek out about it every time I start talking about the game.

PSP and 3DS ports are supposedly quite bad (haven't tried me so I can't couch for that, just the general consensus I gathered) so this would make this the first "good" BB portable port. Though I always expected Vita BB to be good for the reasons you stated above, not accounting for a really sloppy rushed portjob of course.
The Vita version of CSE is a lot better than the 3DS port of CSII. In the 3DS version, for whatever reason the D-Pad was disabled so you had to use the weird analog stick thing.
If you get a bad ending in Story Mode there's a little chibi Teach Me Ms. Lichi-style scene with Kokonoe telling your character what went wrong. Neat.
Yeah, those are amazing. They were added in CS. Teach me Kokonoe, Teach me Litchi and the joke endings are the best parts of the story. So many memes, in jokes, fourth wall breaking moments and pop culture references. Even the achievements were hilariously named.
Tager and Kokonoe's conversation about
Tager's penis

Is there a PS3 chat lobby for this set up?
I noticed Kiryogi on last night, but it was around 4:30AM my time and I just wrapped a Starhawk session.

I really wish there was a System Voice of Tager censor yelling everything.

Yes, Platinum_Milk, Prototype, Q, myself, and some others could invite you.

Thanks, man. You too. I could not seem to put your Tager away. Solid stuff. What was that grab that was destroying around 50% of my health? Jesus, lol.
I was pretty impressed with how the game performed on a 2-3 bar connection. Although, I wasn't trying to do anything too fancy
I hope to get some more time with the game so that I can do something more interesting than poke.Sorry to anyone that joined as a spectator and didn't get to play. I was desperately trying to figure out how to pass it over to another person, but the "Pass" button wasn't doing a damn thing. Again, need more than one day with the game.

I don't think the spectators were gaffers =/
And The Tager stuff was some heavy hitting loop I came up with in training mode that is a variation of some CT stuff I did. I kept dropping the Spark Bolt tMagna Tech Wheel to end the combo, though lol. And the connection was great for a 2-3 bar. Arc Systems is the best with their net codes

Yeah, this worked. Thanks.
What's the point of "Stylish" controls? It sounds like it's supposed to be like the "Simple" controls in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, except they don't work. It's like two buttons do combos (one each), one does throws, and one does random ineffective shit. How would these ever help anyone do anything? You'd be better off just button mashing.
It's just something fighting game devs feel like putting in to appease the casuals. At least BB gives an actual tutorial unlike most other fighting games so if they want to transition from "Stylish" to "Technical", they can if they want to.
It's more effective with certain characters, since some drives aren't meant for combos. You can also hold the button to do distortions.
It does limit you, though, since your options aren't even close to what the character can fully do. You also can't burst out of combos.

You mean like taking a
INFERNO DIVIDER
CARNAGE SCISSOR
And the best joke endings-
CT: Ragna's. Oh my god.
He screamed like a little girl.
CS: Rachel's.
Does CSEX have the CT joke endings? If not, so glad I still own CT.
Question about PS3 version.
I bought previous two BB games for my Xbox, but this time I bought a PS3 version because most of my friends own PS3s so that we could play against each other.
It seems to me that the graphics of the PS3 version are not as sharp as the Xbox versions of previous BB games.
Of note, on my TV the default display overscans, I have to set display to Type B in order for the game to scale correctly.
Will try hooking up my PS3 to another TV and see what happens...

I'm so free in this game. Anyone want to teach me how to block?
Seriously, I can't block for shit. I just crumble under pressure and even worse, get counterhit.

Blocking is for cowards! Always forward, always aggressive!

360 has a better scaler than PS3. Even better, 360 should actually support the native arcade resolution of 1388x786 if you use VGA. I remember I did that with CT.
Heard you can get a good bit of money from doing Arcade mode on Hell. I also got a large amount from running through the true ending (not sure if you can do it more than once).
Shopto just dispatched my copy so I should have it tommorow (360). Really looking forward to playing BlazBlue again. I fired up CSII for the first time in ages today to go through platinums challenges and try and remember how to use a fightstick, but I got them to the same place I had before.
Thankfully CSE's platinum challenges don't have some that require some stupid timings with items that are somewhat broken in CSII.

I think it's something with the part-French manuals or something.
Hey PS3 guys let's do a team tourney sometime and I will reserve Q for my team.

I can never seem to have a lag free match against Q. ._.

Cool beans, hope to see you online.
Play ranked to get to lvl 12, play that abyss mode level 100 for 7-8k credit per easy run. The level 500 one you can get screwed eventually with an unlimited Nu or something.

Just got the game last Friday and I haven't had much time to play, but now I'm just finishing up on the story modes.
I think I'm ready to get myscrub ass kicked online.
PSN is sdarkshadow, if anyone wants to spar.
Hope to see some people online.

I would've got the game today but it's a holiday T.T, I'm very interested in doing a team battle.
I'm the inferior twin though, ass execution. lawlz. Having trouble with her 6th mission. Fuck dashing timing.

Oh god, dash cancels. This automatically excludes me from doing anything over 2k damage with Haz, FML

My execution in CS wasn't so great for a lot of her stuff in the previous games, but it's unfair to compare execution in this to, say, SSFIV. I think I only got like like 75% of the combo challenges done in CS, for example.
My Ibuki, on the other hand...
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.

Yeah, there is a tighter reconstruction of CT's story, the CS story in its entirety, and the new stories for Makoto, Platinum, Valkenhayn and Relius that were previously only in the 3DS and PSP ports of CS2.

I'm really salty about "Super BlazBlue II: Arcade Edition" only having one character. lol
I would like to see new blood like Kokonoe, Torakaka, and yes, Jubei in action, but I'm sure they're being saved for BlazBlue III, which is what I'm waiting for at this point. lol
Besides that, who are top-tier in Extend? I'm sure Relius has to be. lol

Ragna, Valkenhayn, and Hakumen are considered the best
