BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger

o-o So can any of you play this game with me? xD

@Chris X What creeps me out is that you're putting this much thought and analysis into a fictional character that I can guarantee didn't get much thought during the character design process beyond "Let's make her tits enormous."

^You forgot the skimpy clothes.

@Akaso: Sorry, pal. But I tend to get fascinated with characterization and storyline, and I'm sure that Blaz Blue comes pretty rich with it. In terms with Litchi, on the other hand, it's her decision that goes against how I viewed her usually that drove me nuts and too analytical, since it was quite the betrayal of how I see her in the overall term.

If I want to think more about that merely character design stuff, I'd use it for something less-story heavy. Like, say, Street Fighter. And even I don't really use it that much.

I am never a type of person who 'just likes the characters because they have huge boobs'. In fact, I am not very fond of that kind of fan.

Well, that's the problem. You're "fascinated with [the] characterization and storyline" of a fighting game. And even if it wasn't a fighting game, you still looked at a story where literally half of one character's lines consists of "HEY, BOOBIE LADY", technobabble words like "Ars Armagus" and "Dimensional Interference Field" get thrown around, and the main character has "Bloodedge" in his name without any sense of irony or self-awareness, and said "I should take this seriously."

Also, I never said anything about you only liking Lichi because of her tits, but you jumped to that conclusion pretty fast, so that's funny too.

Were you just thinking that every fighting game story are always Waste of Time Story and Excuse Plot? Well, sorry for not thinking like that.

Bang Shishigami is the best man. I hear in the sequel game he even got buffed.

That's an understatement. In CT he was cruelly dealt an injustice by the game developers and was considered one of the worst characters in the game. However, they repented by displaying him in his full, manly glory in CS and he's now the best character in the game.

Rachel got tier-flipped too.

Fighting game or not, Blazblue has a rich story that has just as much depth if not more as many RP Gs out there. Makes sense considering it was supposed to be an RPG at first. I think that's part of what makes BB so appealing in the first place, the fact that it goes beyond the conventional standards of the fighting genre in its story aspect and actually put some real effort and focus into into it and its characters.

And while true the characters were designed visually to appeal to certain audiences, there's more thought than that put into them, and it definitely shows in-game.

I'm salty over the Valk thing though. MS better be offering a discount or package deal or something.

They seem to be setting Bang for another fall in the next BB. Even if the developers redeemed him gameplay-wise, I think Mori still hates him. Just watch as eventually, the Phoenix Rettenjou does NOTHING to actually save Litchi from Boundary Corruption or make her pull a Heel–Face Turn after her previous Face–Heel Turn. She'll naturally get the corruption solution from NOL, and then Carl (being one of Mori's beloved characters other than Noel) will do the second part. Leaving Bang to do... nothing. Except maybe go destroy other Nox Nyctores with the Rettenjou's other ability.

So anyway, if someone wants to play with me, my ID is Masked Hater =P

Blazblue Continuum Shift II opening. Better than Continuum Shift.

I dunno, I think Hekira no Sore e Izanaedo was a much better song.

I don't think Bang is going to end up that useless lol. The one I worry about is Arakune, guy never seems to actually win anything.

That opening was epic BTW. Favorite BB opening so far, but Platina's ass shot was highly uncalled for lol.

I like that song much more than CS's meh opening.

I didn't like the early part of the CS 1 opening but the chorus was catchy.

I actually prefer KOTOKO's stuffs. But meh.

Arakune worries me less than Litchi, though. At this rate, it's like the game is pushing that "SHE IS NOT A NICE, KIND PERSON!!". If the new opening could be a sign, then it means she has no qualms of beating the crap out of Bang and Tao if it means protecting Arakune. But then again, they never really appear together beforehand...

... Man, I should stop going to various BB forums and infecting myself with negative thoughts about Litchi...

Anyone here know how to get a character's story mode done at 100%?

Usually it boils down to seeing every possible scene in the story, which includes losing to every match (keep save points handy) and, in certain matches, finishing up with a Distortion. Ragna's would be among the more tedious routes to complete, in that sense.

Also, for future reference, most further discussion on the series is usually forwarded to the general thread.
