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.

Meh, im a Blazblue player but I mostly stick to MvC3 and 3rd Strike. Whenever I do play BB though I use Ragna and Taokaka. I was working on Trollzama and Valkehayn but MvC3 is more fun to me.

Here's another match uploaded for me I played late last night. My uploader was only able to capture one match from the casuals though since the Racheal went to bed. Also I was hella tired playing as well (it was like 3:30am to 4am) so I derped up quite abit.

If anyone who plays BBCS on the 360 and lives in he States would like to play sometime, just lemme know. I say the States simply because I dont like putting up with latency.

EDIT: Also I am absolutely loving the new Jin vs Tsubaki theme. Played it so much while playing casuals earlier today.

Still got to admit that the CSII opening is still the best.

Getting internet into my house here in Italy pretty soon, so I'll be online real soon.

Also bought my own PS3 now, so I'll be switching between PSN and XBL.

Hoping to enter a tournement next Sunday for BBCS. I don't intend to win but I intend to learn from people although, the main problem I have is that I don't own a fightstick but I'm reasonably ok on a controller with Rachel :)

Also after watching the Extend OP, I really liked the part where Tao and Bang were sparing. Looked fantastic :)

To be fair, almost the entire cast was seriously rebalanced. They either received a few nerfs or a few buffs. But everyone received a damage nerf.

It's really hard for anyone to say whether a character has gotten worse or not, due to Extend only being out in japan for about a week or two now.

Also, Lust Sin, Rebellion, Sword of Doom Condemnation Wings, and Reppu are the best songs in BB, hands down.

I have been using Tsubaki a lot lately, to the point of considering her my main (Ragna was my main before). I can do most of the stuff from her challenge mode and some things I learned on my own. Still, after watching Hajin Busujima in those videos, I realized that I wouldn't last one minute against him. I guess my main problem is that I'm not a lot online(my matches there lag to much and I loss because of it), so maybe I need some human competition to actually learn how to play her. I would have loved to play against you Hajin, even though I know I would have lost a lot at first (which I don't mind at all, I just want to learn). Sadly, I play on the PS3 and my connection tends to lag to much for some reason. However, those videos you posted gave some some new ideas or attack patterns that I'm itching to try learning them in my own way when I have the chance, thanks for posting them.

@Vayne You have a fantastic Rachel avatar, she looks amazing :D

(I couldn't resist to mention how lovely she looks :D I just love Rachel so much)

PS3 with a controller. Hope to get a fightstick at some point soon though :)

Btw I might've read/heard it wrong from somewhere but I thought Rachel got a damage boost rather than a decrease for CSE. Think I read it somewhere on BB.com iirc but I'm not fully sure tbh.
