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.

BBU is fucking stupid agh :(

in any case, I played GGAC until the local scene pretty much died after BB came out. It's unfortunate that the sheer learning curve of GGAC keeps people away from it though, since it's easily one of the best made and most balanced games ever made.

quoted for fucking truth ^^

the leaked version on ps3 that runs in a pc? i think its gonna be lag or should i say slow.

It's more off the arcade version of Continuum Shift can be run on the PC using a loader. People who got the leak got mixed results from flawless gameplay to I/O errors.

Well I played it and while it was slow, it worked first time without any messing around. If you have a good CPU and graphics card, it should work. You can turn off the 3D backgrounds and lower the resolution of the sprites. Any controller will work, I used some terrible, cheap one, and I'm pretty sure you can just use the keyboard if you like. You just set it up through a set-up exe.

in light of the "oops" leak from last week the home version for continuum shift was announced in the latest issue of Famitsu. A new character will be added to the roster for the home version, named Mu-12 (Î¼-12-). i fucking called it!

Height: 157 cm
Weight: 48 kg
Birthday: January 7
Blood Type: A
Birthplace: The 13th Hierarchical City "Kagutsuchi"
Hobbies: ??
Likes: ??
Dislikes: The world
CV: Kanako Kandou

The awakened, true form of Noel Vermilion. Her hatred for the world has increased substantially, making her aggressive towards everything. The name of the huge sword on her back is "Kamigoroshi no Tsurugi Kusanagi".

There will be new stages added to the home version in addition to the arcade version stages, and the existing ones will be receiving a graphical revamp. There will at least 11 stages altogether.

Game modes:

Tutorial: Practice and work to learn the basics of the game system.
Arcade: Enjoy the fighting and story of the original arcade version.
Versus: Fight with other players or against the CPU.
Score Attack: Compete for the top score through 15 consecutive matches.
Training: Freely practice special attacks, combos, etc..
Challenge: Complete special missions available for each character.
Legion: Defeat and conquer enemy locations on a map.
Story: Experience the story of each character.
Gallery: Listen to BGM and voice acting, look at artwork, and watch cutscenes.
Replay Theater: Watch the replay data from network mode.
Network: Online game ranking, players can save replays.

At this point they've [ASW] only stated the release date for 2010 with no actual date, and that the game is at 60% completion.

Everything here is thanks to IPlayWinner & Dustloop forums.

My guess:
1. Haku-man
2. Nine (Witch)
3. Jubei
4. Hellsing (Dracula, Rachel's father)
5. Lord Tenjo (Bang Shishigami's master and original user of the nail weapon)
6. Terumi (Hazama)

New information on the home version of Continuum Shift:

The updated port will release in Japan for both the PS3 and Xbox360 on July 1 2010 for 7,140 Yen (78 USD). No release date information for any other regions yet.

Arc System Works announced a home version of Continuum Shift just a couple of weeks back, but left out release information. That information came today at the Blue Fes Spring Raid event in Shinagawa. Blue Fes is a BlazBlue fan event where attendees got to view a live recording of the BlazBlue "Bururaji" podcast. Arc held one last year also. This year's event saw appearances by BlazBlue voice actors Tomokazu Sugita, Kanako Kondo and, of course, Asami Imai.

The date announcement came in the latter half of the event from producer Toshimichi Mori and sound producer Daisuke Ishiwatari. In addition to the date, the producers mentioned some of the features of the home version, including new characters, stages and modes. The game has double the animated sequences over the original. The challenge mode, targeting mid to high lvl players has over 300 challenges. The original's story mode returns for the sequel, featuring over 28 stories.

The home version will feature a previously mentioned 3rd new character (Î¼-12).

A limited ed. was also announced at the event, bundled with a visual book and Noel Nendroid figure. Price is set at 9,660 Yen (105 USD).

So there you have it, Continuum Shift release date announcement, You're welcome.
