Blazblue: Calamity Trigger

nightclock · 2008-09-25T00:52:33+00:00

Introducing the story as we know it so far... ...I think this might translate to: "Before the events of BlazBlue, humanity was on the the verge of extinction from the "Black Beast", a creature of Darkness. Hope came in the form of six heroes who wielded the power of magic. Together, the six heroes & humanity created "Armagus" a combination of Magic & Technology to defeat the Beast, which would be known as The First War of Magic. After the war, the New World Void Space Cue Administration Bureau was created to govern the new world which has discovered the use of Armagus. Under the Bureau, Humanity began reconstructing & the world was under their dictatorship. However this caused much dissent for the people due to fact Armagus was used in every issue & the widening socioeconomic gap between those who could use & cannot use Armagus. This dissent would eventually form years later into The Ikaruga Civil War or The Second War of Magic, when the Ikaruga Union openly rebelled against the Bureau. After the war, the Bureau imposed a harsher rule on the world declaring anyone that defies them will be killed. On December A.D.2199, several years after the Second war, a branch of the Bureau was utterly destroyed by an SS-class traitor named "Ragna the Bloodedge" also known as "the God of Death." His quest was to destroy the Bureau. The New World Void Space Cue Administration Bureau, hoping to stop him, immediately put the largest bounty ever for anyone who could capture him." ----- Blazblue is the next step for Arc System Works, the people who brought you one of the best damn fighting games ever, Guilty Gear. It's a 2D fighter on an arcade engine, using sprites at least 2x the size of the ones in GG and with this company, that much space can make the biggest difference. It has a release date of November 2008 in Japan, leaving everyone else high and dry, lame. There's a good chance it won't be seen anywhere else until a version is developed for a console, preferably the PS3, as it has the best fighter setup with its controller. Characters: Ragna the Bloodedge- Height: 185 cm Wight: 78 kg Bloodtype: B Gender: M The almighty force managing the "Operation", in order to obtain absolute power over the world, is this man who has rebelled against the "Earth and Space Information Control System". Known as the "God of Death", a bounty for his elimination has been placed in all the regions populated with branches of the Control System. In game, his tactics revolve around using his power and large sword to keep pressure on his opponents. His Drive Ability is known as Soul Eater, which is used to absorb the opponents life. Jin Kisaragi- Height: 178 cm Wight: 61 kg Bloodtype: A Gender: M From a prestigious family, this man is a retainer of the Control System's Kisaragi house. His class is Major. In the past, he had a distinguished military record during the "Ikaruga Civil War" that broke out, and was promoted to the position of Division Commander at an exceptionally young age. He is always cool and calm, though he is a deeply jealous, ambitious, and possessive person, with little care for others. His Drive Ability is known as Frost Bite, which specializes in freezing opponents. Noel Vermillion- Height: 157 cm Wight: 48 kg Bloodtype: A Gender: F Because of her outstanding combat ability and suitable operation evaluations, she was selected to be Jin Kisaragi's direct subordinate in her youth. The two were acquaintances in officer's academy, though Noel thought Jin was extremely weak. However, on a certain mission handed down from the Control System, her preconceptions were changed. Her Drive Ability is known as Chain Revolver, which specializes in chain linking her combos together. Iron Tagar (TR-00009)- Height: 240 cm Wight: 550 kg Bloodtype: Replaced with unknown substance Gender: M Originally the leader of a battle unit which revolved around physical combat, he was forced to withdraw from the front lines after sustaining a mortal wound in the Ikaruga Civil War. He was brought back from the brink of death at the hands of the scientist "Kokonoe" and revived as a cyborg, and is currently assigned to a combat unit under the direct control of Kokonoe. He seems to be pursuing Ragna, though his goals are entirely unclear. His Drive Ability is Volttech Battler, which specializes in using electricity and magnetism so he can grab his enemies. Taokaka- Height: 165 cm Wight: 42 kg Bloodtype: O Gender: F A young catgirl of the Kaka tribe who live in the lower class part of Kagutsuchi. Her coat is equipped with massive paw-like hands that include long, retractable claws. She wants to get back the sky above her village that was sealed off with an enormous plate by humans who came to the land and started building a big city. She left her village in search of someone called Ragna after she heard that you could gain a lot of money for defeating him. Her Drive Ability is known as Dancing Edge: Reckless Kitty, which specializes at dashing at high speeds with a slash attack. Rachel Alucard- Height: 145 cm Wight: 31 kg Bloodtype: Unknown Gender: F A blood-sucking vampire who is the head of the Alucard family and who dresses in a gothic lolita style. As the head of the family an enormous castle and a servant have been handed down to her from previous generations. She carries a cat-shaped umbrella called Nago and fights using a chubby, red bat familiar called Gii. She slipped out of her castle in search of fun because she hates to be bored. Her Drive Ability is Sylphide, which allows her to manipulate wind. Arakune- Height: 20-200 cm Wight: 5-1000 kg Bloodtype: Unknown Gender: Unknown An occult being that is constantly seeking knowledge. Its body houses innumerable insects. Currently, it lives under the streets of Kagutsuchi. Because it needs to absorb large amounts of life force to continue its existence, it frequently attacks those of the Kaka tribe and humans alike. Recently, it has sensed the presence of a being with unheard of levels of life force, which has caused it to stir. Its Drive Ability is Crimson, which curses the opponent to where several flying insects will attack him/her. Litchi Faye Ling- Height: 170 cm Wight: 58 kg Bloodtype: AB Gender: F A doctor in the oriental part of Kagutsuchi. Apparently, she is vital to the town because of her profession and her knack for sensing others' needs. Her reasons for coming here are unknown. Her Drive Ability is Mantenbou, which manipulates her staff into attacking opponents by itself. Carl Clover- Height: 144 cm Wight: 35 kg Bloodtype: AB Gender: M A young boy wearing a top hat who fights using a large mechanical maid puppet named Nirvana. His Drive Ability is Auto Maton, which controls Nirvana. Bang Shishigami- Height: 192 cm Wight: 105 kg Bloodtype: B Gender: M A ninja who mastered various techniques. His Drive Ability is Burning Heart, which makes him fully use his ninja skills. V13- The sub-boss of the game, V13 looks like a mechanical/cyborg girl who floats in mid-air, is short, has short white hair, mecha shoulder pads, what appears to be an eye scanner on one of her eyes, and is colored all white. Strikingly resembles Noel. Haku-Men- The boss of the game, he looks like a cross between Justice from Guilty Gear and a white samurai, wielding a long sword. Both Haku-Men and V13 were seen at the EVO location test for the game. ----- All that's left now is to see it in action... ...and here's to what could possibly be the greatest fighting game of all time. Cheers. UPDATEx1: Video update - A vid with most of the characters in action, only the two bosses are not included.

also, why does everyone bum rush me when i taunt them? its not like it does anything

Because you're pretty much standing there painting a "HIT ME, I'M FREE" target on yourself by doing so? Not to mention some find it disrespectful.

they have no sense of fun. they should taunt back then we could start form square one in the round

So are you playing to fight or are you playing to taunt?

it might be just me but taunting is one of fundamentals in fighting games for casual game play. also people keep running how could i not taunt them. just wish i could pick what they say

Taunting isnt fundamental. It just makes you look like a dick most of the time. Not really amusing when a guy with a life lead starts mocking you. :\

thats makes it more fun for me when they have a life lead. they taunt me an im like 'i did not just see that' depending on the round they might take it easy on me, cuz thats what i do i take it easy on people after i taunt or if they're running to much

well i play taokaka ,and you HAVE to taunt with her if you plan on playing at a high level because of her taunt loop...i also may toss out a taunt on a guy who's eating shit on the other side of the map in a close fight to get him to attack me stupidly

Its all about Noel.

QCF special moves in the first BB? FFFFFUUU-Now it's half-circle back+QCF and D. It's freaking tricky to pull off...I'm not one to complain since practice makes perfect, but I can barely pull that special move off in the middle of combat.

Gotta get back to the drawing board...

Well he did say "casual" so I guess getting mad at him is of no use.

Do they still have "respect" in BB?

nope just taunt :<

kinda miss the "respect" in GG

Also i think this was briefly mentioned, but yes BB CS has 3 DLC characters: Makoto (already released), Valkenhayn, and Platinum the trinity. In addition to the 3 new character Nu 12 Hazama and Tsubaki, making it a grand total of 6 new chars.

Almost made a new thread, but remembered there already was one somewhere.
Anyway, seeing as it has been released for PCs (yeah, I don't have a console, and don't really plan to get one either),

I have a question for those that own the X360 version:

Does the network play option have a lot of people? Or has everybody moved over the CS? If the lobbies (or whatever they're referred to as in the game) are dead (though there should be an influx of PC players soon), I may change my mind about buying the game.

There is absolutely no reason to play CT after this game released. Nobody's sticking to CT really.

Did CS come in a limited edition set for US? I've been looking and the only I found was JPN and it was sold out.

But that's all we got for PC unfortunately. Hopefully they'll get around to porting CS as well (so that PC users aren't one game behind all the time).

Been playing a bit of this recently and even though Im not at all good at fighting games I really like it so I decided for a laugh to try fighting online! :D

Cant believe how cheap people are, Repeating the same chain over and over again doing anything for the win. Im in the same boat though! Limited style... No grace... just hungry for victory!! (Ive got the eye of the Tiger)

Matching me to a Lvl 50+ was fun too, (I got SPANKED) One thing though ive never been able to do the R3 specials! (Is there some other way of Doing them that I dont know about?)

One thing ive also noticed is that people usually go Jin, Ragna or Haku very rarely do I see anything else. One guy used Taokaka (Probably because shes 'Kawaii' or some shit) anyway he got some respect from me for that. *I still won though using my epic cheapness* :)

Great game! ^___^

Jin, and Ragna are easy mode. You can just spam Ice Car with Jin for a win, and Ragna is pretty much the Ryu of this game. Don't know about Hakuman...He has an insane amounts of damage, and his counters can be pretty annoying to get around.

Beat Score Attack a few days ago. Had to do it the cheap way with two controllers, but at least I managed to beat it...

Coopa's tager is awesome, though I gotta give it up to Mike Z. I dunno if it got caught on stream, but there was a match where he caught a Litchi player with an astral, and the WHOLE FUCKING ROOM exploded. Awesome moment. Also, psychic FB potbusters in GGAC later on the same night. That man is amazing.

Also I'd be totally up for matches in SFIV/BBCS if I had gold again. Gotta wait til I get paid unfortunately.
