The BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Official Thread [360/PS3] - Be Ready for the Rebel
- Thread starter ZealousD
- Start date
My brother is getting a 360 and preordered the LE from www.gamestop.com to get the artbook. So I guess I'll be playing this on release. Should go well with the SF4 FightPad I just bought.
If anyone is buying the 360 version and prefers pads over sticks, the Chun Li SFIV pad is currently in stock at Amazon. I'm actually getting the PS3 version of BB, but I needed a pad for 360 shmups/2d xbla games.

Just keep paying attention to AKSYS' BB site.

anyone else doing the same?
I guess since Ferrio asked a similar question, I have one that's more general.
Players that have played both this and GG, are there any characters in BB that match up to the playstyles of certain GG characters? Or is it radically different enough to where it's hard to put a label on a character being a lot like someone else?

Noel's gunkata playstyle looks like it's a lot of fun. Rachel looks pretty interesting as well. All of the characters look like they'd be fun to use. I like Arakune though, so damned odd.

Possibly just too late to make it in rather than a storage issue; Fanime was only like 3 weeks ago.momolicious said:

It's killing me not knowing... does anyone know if the PS3 and 360 versions are identical? Like as in, identical identical, besides the Blu-ray format bonus disc?

I hope to see lots of Gaffers online for like in SF4. I doubt I'll have any local comp for this.

In videos the game looks so similiar to Guilty Gear...why isn't this GGX3? I know there was some rights issue with Sega (like they own Sol or the other way around). Is this like Dark Stalkers, a different fighting game from Aksys or isthis their replacement for GG?
Also, what are the main differences between this and GG in how it plays?

I imagine it's both, a new series meant to replace Guilty Gear since Sammy/Sega have some sort of hold over the rights to the characters or the series.

For comparisons to BlazBlue <=> Guilty Gear battle systems:
Barrier - Faultless Defense
Ukemi - Ukemi (It's actually the same name, but fighting game veterans will recognize it as "tech(ing)")
Barrier Burst - Burst
Instant Guard - Instant Block
Counter Assault - Dead Angle Attack
Astral Heat - Instant Kill
Rapid Cancel - Roman Cancel/Forced Roman Cancel
Throw Escape - Throw Break
Distortion Drive - Overdrive
By the way, after reading the entire description, each and every technique is performed exactly the same. Hilarity!
I note that Slashback has been removed, probably because it was so damn useless.
For me, but I'm a scrub.

Yeah, I forgot the first post showed all the techs. Looks pretty much the same, I guess there's no dust move? Also, the replacement for burst seems to only stop combos, in GG you'd get a full super gauge against unguarded foes.
robut said:
The biggest difference is in the attacks. Guilty Gear had Punches, Kicks, Slashes, Heavy Slashes, and Dust. BlazBlue has Weak, Medium, Strong, and Drive attacks. Most of the Guilty Gear XX systems are in place with different names, although some like FRC's and Dust attacks were removed.

OP resold me on this game. Great job.
FlightOfHeaven said:
Burst and Barrier aren't quite the same though. Basically, Burst and Faultless Defense was combined into Barrier. Instead of needing to build a burst gauge and use it, using burst will deplete the Barrier gauge and make you more vunerable to attacks. Also, Barrier has it's own gauge rather than using Heat/Tension. So a little mixing there.

What's Drive Attack? Is it just the strongest of the main 4 attacks or does it have a unique property?
Drive is a unique attack each character has, it is the reason why each character feels like you are playing a separate game.robut said:
as far as characters I have messed with:
Litchi - controls/equips/unequips staff
Carl - controls puppet
Noel - does custom combos
for other characters, I kno is does the dash attack for Taokaka and controls the wind for Rachel.
really, u jus gotta play and enjoy the game for yourself!
This game is definitely unique. u cant compare it to GG, u cant compare the characters to any other games as the game has done a fantastic job making each character feel so individual. Granted there are some similarities, but that's like saying SF and KOF are similar becoz both games have a punch button and a blocking mechanism.

God I'm hyped for this one. I had pre ordered both the PS3 and the 360 version a few months ago. I'm not hopping on the 360 version till I get a stick (common HRAP EX from NCSX).
