Blazblue: Calamity Trigger

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.

I've been playing a lot with Rachel, Noel and Lichi. Lichi is probably one of the hardest character to learn in BlazBlue.

lol, lichi

Annoying little whore she can be when placed in the right hands..getting corned by lichi = death, much like arakune.

I've been playing alot with Taokaka and Rachael :D
Taokaka is the speedy combo whore which I like :P and Rachael has so many ways of playing her game, though most is just rush down which works the best for unsuspecting people :P

Indeed. Good Litchi players are a pain to fight. However, the corner death very much applies to nearly every character this game, as corner combos are simply BRUTAL in this game(some of them you can only escape using burst[i.e. Arakune]).

EDIT: If you have created a nico nico account, watch this awesome hakumen counter kill.

That's rather odd... I play Noel and lose to a lot of Ragnas, but not many others :/

It very much might be that I suck...

Maybe it has to do with the fact that I can't pull of 632146D (Carnage Scissors) without being on the right side...

Have to say getting to level ~24 was way higher then I thought I would get... It's probably because sometimes when I fight high levels they sometimes pick a character they're totally unfamiliar with... >_<

Ah, well, against Noels, I've heard that Hell's Fang(or was it Gauntlet Hades?) was Ragna's best weapon. I assume against the Noels, they use her sliding kick to get under your defense? Or is it something else?

Don't worry about your skill level, as you'll get better.

Off-topic: Finally got a new stick. I can play at full-force without accidentely "Optic Barrel"ing or messing up "Bloom Trigger"! :D

It's a multi-platform release. Unless you're talking about the euro version, in which case it might be a 360 exclusive. Just import then, as I believe the PS3 version is region-free(confirmation needed).

Just a minor correction here ^.^" V-13 is the BOSS of the game, and Haku-men is the sub-boss ^.^

Also, I'd like to capitalize on that with Litchi Ling as well. :D

While I may get absolutely wrecked 6/10 I am absolutely loving playing as Tager. Plus the occasional win over a Nu is awesome especially when I can hit a EMERALD GENESIC TAGER!

One thing I hate about these kinds of fighting games, I'm not a pro at them and find their stories kind of confusing. I hate it when you lead them to the game over path just for choosing the wrong answer. >_>

Apparently, they're trying to add new characters and slightly remaking the game for another console release. They are testing it on the arcade markets first. Guilty Gear Slash, anyone?

Spoiler:

So... I hope this content is entered as DLC once testing is finished, or no words will be able to describe my indignation at having to pay another 60 dollars.
