8* Meme name: [[labelnote:Explanation]]description of meme and how it's used.[[/labelnote]]
9
10!Formatted
11* '''[[GameBreaker BEES]]!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]HighTierScrappy goodness, this time referencing Arakune's favorite "tactic".[[/labelnote]]
12** ...[[Franchise/{{Batman}} My]] [[ComicBook/AmazonsAttack God]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Answer to the above.[[/labelnote]]
13** [[Film/TheWickerMan2006 No, not the bees! Not the bees!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]An alternate answer to the above.[[/labelnote]]
14* '''[[http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/2546/1246785880483.jpg RIDE TEH ICECARZ!!!]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]A derisive FanNickname for Jin's much-spammed air dash attack, a majorly annoying strategy in ''Calamity Trigger''. Seems to be dying out as a meme after ''Continuum Shift'' nerfed Icecar's usefulness.[[/labelnote]]
15** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlnpfcb3a1c#t=9s Here are ICECARZ racing.]] In the actual game.
16** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEfrbRb9p9c#t=92s And now here are 2 of them crashing.]]
17** AscendedMeme as Bang's text derisively states that nobody could defeat someone who spams Ice Cars so thoroughly. [[InconsistentDub Notable that the text and audio do not match up]].
18** Due to Jin's... [[IncestSubtext rather unhealthy fondness]] for Ragna, a common joke/play on words for the above is "What is Jin's favorite type of car? A '''NISSAN!!!'''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nissan is a motor company; nii-san (which is what Jin frequently ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWvO1Gxa-5c yells]]'' in the Japanese version while addressing Ragna) is Japanese for "brother." [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y_h-PAjVNw Summed up here.]][[/labelnote]]
19** And to a lesser extent, MOTORICICLES. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Alternate take to the above.[[/labelnote]]
20*** Doubly funny due to the fact that, according to the ''[[AllThereInTheManual BlazBlue Material Collection]]'', Jin's hobby is ''collecting vintage motorcycles''.
21* [[AccidentalInnuendo Big, thick, delicious fish sausage.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] A minor meme stemming from Blue Radio which involves Kanako Kondo (Noel's seiyuu) slipping under her tongue that she likes "big, thick, delicious fish sausage". Since then, Noel is often depicted in fanarts with a sausage.[[/labelnote]]
22* Hazama: Professional {{Troll}}. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Hazama devotes his existence to making everyone's lives living hells. This is the fan reaction.[[/labelnote]]
23** Hazama is a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DwATqi2ewM Smooth Criminal]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Hazama's outfit and movements are huge references to Music/MichaelJackson, something fans haven't ignored.[[/labelnote]]
24** Also, "YOU JUST GOT HAZAMA'D!", which has become a somewhat common shout-out around the Internet on April Fool's Day. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Alternate take on "You Just Got Troll'd!"[[/labelnote]]
25* Thanks to Dustloop and Website/GameFAQs, there is a picture circling the internet of Rachel confined to a wheelchair looking at a tombstone for George XIII because of her (''Continuum Shift 1'') nerfs. This was followed soon after with pictures of her asking why God hates her, and God turns out to be Terumi, who calls her a dumbass. Needless to say, it's now common knowledge that Rachel is a cripple in her ''[=CS1=]'' state.
26** [[http://imgur.com/a/Ka1RF GOD-DAMN YOUR LOW-TIER BULLSHIT, RABBIT!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]See above, replace Hazama by Ragna. Comes from ''Webcomic/{{Blazen}}''.[[/labelnote]]
27* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wEB1XNhB0#t=210s "REAL SOVIET DAMAGE!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]][=MikeZ=]'s LargeHam narration in the Iron Tager strategy video that shipped with ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCalamityTrigger''.[[/labelnote]]
28** [[CensoredForComedy "GIGANTIC TAGER"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another Tager meme. Taken from Tager [[CallingYourAttacks Calling His Attacks]] as a hilarious SoundEffectBleep. Now an AscendedMeme in Chronophantasma, where one of Kokonoe's supers involves her summoning...a GIGANTIC TAGER.[[/labelnote]]
29* '''[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic BANG BANG]] [[Music/JAMProject BANG]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYKPmkOF-z8 BAAAAANG!]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]The song that plays during [[BoisterousBruiser Bang]]'s SuperMode. Used as proof of his [[MemeticBadass endless manliness]].[[/labelnote]]
30** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQUjH7Mtvn8 S-I-S-I-G-A-M-I! Shishigami Bang Bang!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A fan [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dweaPjeQhYQ made a song based on Bang's theme,]] then [[AscendedMeme Bang's voice actor made his own version]]. Even more proof of Bang's manliness.[[/labelnote]]
31* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TroDkr8hPJg WOOF]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u7JKTKbNNk WOOF]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU0paTOO0zw WOOF]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFp0-zC4Tcw WOOF]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5H0sRKzHxY WOOF]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqBpv5ecfFk WOOF]] [[http://blazen.thecomicseries.com/comics/65/ WOOF]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A periodically barking dog that appears in one of the backgrounds of ''Continuum Shift'' ended up becoming an surprise Internet sensation shortly after the game's release on consoles. It's been nicknamed "Hype Dog" by fans, coming from a common competitive play phrase, "get hype" (meaning to get excited, i.e. for a tournament).[[/labelnote]]
32* (◇)人(∵) [[labelnote:Explanation]]As Hakumen and Arakune are both products of the Boundary, many fans depict them as friends. This ASCII art depicts them high-fiving, as shown [[http://hijiribe.donmai.us/data/sample/sample-2abf4944194b1ae01c198d8465323467.jpg here.]][[/labelnote]]
33** There exists artwork of Hakumen using Arakune as a RUBBER RING! That's true friendship right there. That said, Hakumen wears them in a few bits of fanart, so he must really suck at swimming.
34** [[http://blazen.thecomicseries.com/comics/8 They even save fair maidens together.]]
35---> I am Jin "Hakumen" Kisaragi!
36---> A[[spoiler:n]]d I [[spoiler:a]]m L[[spoiler:ot]]t[[spoiler:e]] "A[[spoiler:r]]a[[spoiler:ku]]ne" [[spoiler:Car]]min[[spoiler:e]]!
37---> And together we are... BOUNDARY BUDDIES (''cue air guitar, then brofist/high five'')
38* INFERNODIVIDERINFERNODIVIDERINFERNODIVIDER! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ragna combines CallingYourAttacks with LargeHam.[[/labelnote]]
39** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccUqhJAlhjA The typical result of]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJZInsw9btk Ragna players clashing.]]
40** Rock, Paper, '''CARNAGE SCISSORS!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]A play on one of Ragna's specials, combined with RockPaperScissors.[[/labelnote]]
41* [[ThatOneAttack Ragna's Jesus Kick]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ragna's 5B (Standing B) attack is rather infamous among players for being very fast, having a lot of active frames, and usually leading to a high damaging combo from him. Became an AscendedMeme in ''Continuum Shift'' when Hazama complains about it in his "Help Me, Professor Kokonoe!" segment if you lose to Ragna in his Story Mode.[[/labelnote]]
42* '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEV77BEpkGg THUH NAYUM EZ HAW KOO MAYUN]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Comes from the ''[= BlazBlue=] in L.A. Vocal Edition'' album, which featured vocal remixes of the character themes in ''Calamity Trigger''. Hakumen's theme, "SUSANOOH", had [[SoBadItsGood really bad and incredibly cheesy English lyrics]] layered on top of it.[[/labelnote]]
43* "Some people think they can outsmart me. Maybe. I have yet to meet man who can outsmart Bullet." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A pun on a quote from [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Meet the Heavy]] regarding ''Chronophantasma'' newcomer Bullet.[[/labelnote]]
44** Thanks to Creator/TomokazuSugita, Creator/YuuichiNakamura and Creator/HirokiYasumoto from the Riot Summer Again, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRkt4qCHIkY "hottopantsu."]] "SEXY!" addendum optional. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Bullet's character design features jean shorts that accentuate her legs, hips, and rear. Jokes were quick to follow, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PGjnvFF1PQ and even Ragna trolls Bullet over her choice in clothing when they meet in-game.]][[/labelnote]]
45* '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xn7CvMxNzrY#t=34s DA WEEL OHF FAYT EES TOINING.]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]''Calamity Trigger''[='s=] announcer is often regarded as the best one because of her, uh, [[GratuitousEnglish unique pronunciation]] of the opening quote.[[/labelnote]]
46** '''THE GORILLA FATE IS YEARNING.''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]A mishearing of the above. This one ended up being used by the announcer in ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}''[[/labelnote]]
47** '''[[RuleOfThree VANILLA CAKE IS BURNING.]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another mishearing.
48[[/labelnote]]
49* A wild Azrael appeared! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Azrael's theme is reminiscent of a ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' battle theme. [[AscendedMeme This was later spoofed on Bururaji Hyper.]][[/labelnote]]
50* [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 I don't need anyone else... I have... PATRIOT APOCALYPSE!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] Creator/DCDouglas, the English voice of Albert Wesker, was announced as the English voice of Azrael. As to be expected, these jokes were quick to pop up. [[/labelnote]]
51** '''KURO KISHI!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]] Azrael's hammy way of saying Kagura's nickname (Black Knight) drew some parallels with [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 "CHRIIIIIIIS!"]] [[/labelnote]]
52* [[FullFrontalAssault BODY THE]] [[JustForFun/XMeetsY X]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Azrael's attacks is him slamming his whole body into someone, which, with his hard-hitting attacks, leads to an crazy combo potential. As such: [[/labelnote]]
53** Body the [[ACupAngst Loli]]/Reaper/Kitty/Robot/[[MirrorMatch Imposter]]/Witch/etc. And as of Saya/Izanami's entrance in ''Central Fiction'': [[spoiler:BODY THE DEATH LOLI!]]
54* '''LIKE A BOOOOOOOOOOSS, ON YOUR BUUUUUUUUUUTT...''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Childish killer", the new theme of Jin vs. Tsubaki in ''Continuum Shift Extend'', is laden with Engrish. As such, fans love to make memes of it.[[/labelnote]]
55* ADVANCING ON YOUR POSITION[[labelnote:Explanation]]Creator/FUNimation's translation of ''[[Anime/BlazBlueAlterMemory Alter Memory]]'' is notable for not using the game localization at all. This is a literal translation of the end of Hakumen's White Void speech, replacing "THE END HAS COME".[[/labelnote]]
56* [[http://i.imgur.com/aCxtnq6.gif Ice Brick]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Dustloop and Website/GameFAQs have been having a field day with the [[OffModel QUALITY]] animation in the new ''Anime/{{BlazBlue|Alter Memory}}'' anime. The picture linked depicts the anime's version of Jin's Ice Sword special move.[[/labelnote]]
57** The animation budget was spent on [[http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/1336/3f92.gif Noel.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Noel summoning Bolverk in Episode 2 has surprisingly better animation than much of the rest of the show. It probably doesn't help her reputation as a CreatorsPet.[[/labelnote]]
58*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-yR6-BweMg Sailor Noel]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The same scene, set to fitting music.[[/labelnote]]
59** [[http://i.imgur.com/CcufSBT.png Terumi's]] [[http://i44.tinypic.com/ng99tu.jpg troll]] [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/767c8f40954bc6725b3a4128934e5d75/tumblr_mv31csfduy1spivfbo1_250.png faces]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Terumi's facial expressions in the anime are hilariously over-the-top, almost as if they decided to run with his QUALITY expressions from the ''Continuum Shift'' cutscenes.[[/labelnote]]
60** [[http://i.imgur.com/m0CrfpG.gif TACTICAL TAGER INCOMING!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]From Episode 5, when Tager is airdropped from the sky into Kagutsuchi.[[/labelnote]]
61*** For added hilarity, say it in the REAL SOVIET DAMAGE! voice, [[VideoGame/ModernWarfare2 and pretend he's in Spetznaz]].
62** [[http://i.pixs.ru/storage/4/9/8/platinum41_1676037_9643498.gif Platinum's facedesk]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Platinum falls asleep when switching personalities.[[/labelnote]]
63** [[http://i.imgur.com/kmh8qL0h.png Excuse me, sir. It seems my sword is lodged inside of you.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Tsubaki stabbing Jin in Episode 6. Made funnier when Takamagahara rewinds the timeline.[[/labelnote]]
64*** [[http://blazen.thecomicseries.com/comics/40/ It gets even funnier when Rachel gets stabbed in a "Back-Up Plan", giving a shout-out to the above trope.]]
65** [[http://blazen.webcomic.ws/files/reliuschoke.gif Is Relius Clover gonna have to choke a bitch?]]
66** Arakune: Nerfed in story, nerfed in game, and now [[http://i.imgur.com/r52aKKA.gif nerfed in the anime.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Arakune's appearance in Episode 8 has him doing his 2C animation up a flight of stairs, in hilariously QUALITY fashion.[[/labelnote]]
67* Azrael the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDzjl6VC6tE LOVE PHANTOM]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Azrael has a very stylish glitch combo, reminiscent of his original "[[VideoGame/FistOfTheNorthStarTwinBlueStarsOfJudgment basketball infinite]]" from the arcade version before it was patched out. Someone on Website/NicoNicoDouga decided to set it to the song "LOVE PHANTOM" by B'z, and the rest is history.[[/labelnote]]
68* '''UNIT COOKIE DOUGH''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]A mishearing of Hakumen's Japanese Overdrive quote, used as a term to denote his Overdrive and how absurdly powerful it is. Even after it was nerfed in ''Chronophantasma Extend'', it is still one of the best Overdrives in the entire game just for the absolutely ridiculous damage potential alone.[[/labelnote]]
69* You thought it was (insert highly requested character)... [[spoiler:BUT IT WAS I, IZANAMI!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Izanami's Distortion Drives is a [[TimeStandsStill Time Stop]]. So naturally, the [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure DIO]] jokes came in full force.[[/labelnote]]
70* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCtUk_kglVg Hosoku!, Touse!, Ichi!, Yoweehe!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] A variation of the Kyu kyu kyu nyah :3 meme using some of Hazama’s lines.[[/labelnote]]
71* Comparing Izanami to [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]With the reveal of Izanami's Astral Heat, people immediately noticed how the skulls looks similar to Sans' Gaster Blasters in his fight. Cue the ''Undertale'' jokes, and how Izanami is gonna dunk everyone.[[/labelnote]]
72* MUST DIE [[labelnote:Explanation]] The theme of [[spoiler:Susanoo]], which quickly reached meme status within the fandom thanks to how ridiculously hammy and edgy the song is. It's gotten to the point where the crowd goes nuts whenever it gets picked in Top 8 at tournaments.[[/labelnote]]
73** '''YO YO HAPPY BIRTHDAY''' / '''WHEN YOU DIE, WHERE'S YOUR GOD?''' [[labelnote:Explanation]] As the lyrics to the song have never been released, these are the most common mishearings people quote in reference to the song.[[/labelnote]]
74* [=#WhensKokonoe=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kokonoe was the most highly requested character to be added as DLC prior to her eventual inclusion in ''Chronophantasma'', for both eastern and western fanbases.[[/labelnote]]
75** [=#WhensJubei=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]After Kokonoe eventually was added to the roster , the logical next step was to get Jubei added, as he was the 2nd most highly requested character, though mostly in the west. After [[{{Pun}} NINE]] years of waiting, Jubei was finally announced at EVO 2017.[[/labelnote]]
76* [[HighTierScrappy BROKENoe]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] A derivative nickname for Kokonoe after she made her playable debut as DLC in ''Chronophantasma'' and players realized just how [[GameBreaker broken-as-hell]] she was.[[/labelnote]]
77* Ribcage isn't THAT strong. [[note]]Saya/Izanami's ribcage move allows her to NoSell strike attacks and is a significant part of why she's top tier. Some people use this in an attempt to defend themselves when called out, despite everyone knowing it's exactly that strong.[[/note]]
78* Just wait for ''CF [[UpdatedRerelease Extend]]''. [[note]]The timing of the releases between the Japanese and the West for the console version of ''Central Fiction'' were more than unfortunate. There were reports by players who ''just bought'' ''CPEX'' in the West only for ''CF'' to be announced in Japan some time later. The CapcomSequelStagnation for ''CS'' (''CS'' > ''CSII'' > ''CSEX'') [[FranchiseOriginalSin that started this trend]] and the fact the ''CP'' wasn't even supposed to get an ''Extend'' version at first according to WordOfGod ticked off many fans who felt that they were being scammed into buying multiple copies of the same installment. So when ''CF'' was first announced for consoles, many fans said in the comments section of the Website/YouTube announcement video to just wait for ''CF Extend'' or a console port to PC, which was often taken as a sign that this was ''definitely'' the last game to be released for that particular installment, leading to Mori's statement that there wouldn't be an ''Extend'' version for ''CF'' to be taken with a grain of salt, effectively crippling sales in the debut period. Suffice to say, this might be one of the reasons why Creator/ArcSystemWorks decided NoDubForYou upon console release.[[/note]]
79* Who's Ragna?[[labelnote:Explanation]]The aftermath of Centralfiction [[spoiler:has Ragna wakes up the master unit in her dreams, essentially [[RetGone erasing his own existence and all the memories of him on everyone's minds]]]]. Needless to say, whenever someone new asks who's Ragna and where he came from, the playerbase jokingly starts being oblivious to Ragna's existence as a sort of PlayAlongMeme as if no one really knew who he is.[[/labelnote]]
80
81!Unformatted
82* The sequence in which Ragna takes down Mu-12 is well on its way.
83* Noel and pandas. Especially thanks to her line, "Hands off the Panda!"
84* People have taken the [[http://imageshack.us/a/img651/241/soniamdisappointw.jpg "Son, I Am Disappoint"]] meme and applied it to Relius. And thanks to his [[Creator/TravisWillingham English voice actor]], [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV he's also often referred as a family man.]] Possibly an AscendedMeme as of CP, thanks to Relius' Gag Reel.
85** People have also taken to calling Relius "Father of the Year" and "World's Greatest Dad". He's anything but.
