Oh, and also, Tsubaki and Carl meet in both of their story modes, but under completely different circumstances, yet both times they act like it's the first time they've seen each other since the Academy.

I can think of one non-Carl-related problem, though. In Noel's story and Tsubaki's story, the events play out mostly the same, with Noel and Tsubaki fighting, and since Noel is pissed at Hazama for what he did to Tsubaki she goes and fights him at the top floor of Kagutsutchi, then after her mental breakdown she becomes Mu. But in Lambda's and seemingly Taokaka's story, before she ever gets to the top level of Kagutsutchi, Noel seems to get brainwashed or something after touching Lambda, and that's the point when she gets captured by Hazama, at which point I can't see any way for the events at the end of Noel's story to ever take place.

[up][up]I can actually see that working actually.

One more:wild mass guessCarl's insanity and the problems he causes to time are related to the second Nirvana in his hat. It is not just symbolism for how Nirvana is controlling him.

What really annoys me, though, is that the first eight stories are all very neatly tied together and stay pretty consistent with each other. But Bang's, Lambda's, Carl's stories act like they each exist in a completely different universe from everything else that's going on.

Hi fellas! I've been away all day, but here's some Thread Hopping on topics I'm too late to comment on but I'm gonna comment on anyways.

  • @Risetteer: Cute demon islands? Sounds like some demented Axis Powers Hetalia spinoff - I'd watch it. And then Hiramuya would ruin it by making it a stupid fanservice fest with no real context, regardless of the fact that the concept and execution is a good idea, if handled properly and GODDAMNIT, WHY DID HE RUIN THAT SERIES'!? *ahem* I need my anti-rage pills, hold on...

  • @Latverian Badger, regarding Red Vs Blue cast as Blaz Blue characters (Red vs Blaz Blue?): Some are a bit off. Hakumen as the meta? I don't see it. Arakune rings me more of it. Makoto as Tex doesn't make a lot of sense, since Tex is yet another AI fragment, Lambda as LOW-PEZZ is a given, though.

And at the topic at hand:

I just said "Eh, fucking time loops, how do they work?" and just shrugged off the little details.

*high five*

Well, I got into it, and It was pretty fun, what with the naked people and whatnot.

But after a while... I just got too stupid. And the regular updates where nothing but shameless fanservice (Christmas Bloodbath, anyone?), and while there were some really, really good strips (like the one where Russia goes berserk on the protesters, with Latvia looking in terror), everything else was just bad. So I'm like "lol, whatever" and left.

Oh, that, and the fact that HE NEVER MADE MY COUNTRY, THE BASTARD *shakes fist in fury*

Anyways Blaz Blue, I wonder how they'll change Raggy in the sequel. I mean, he's no longer got the grimoire in his right hand, so... does that mean he's no longer part of the Black Beast? ( Black Beast... that sounds pretty racist.)

Yeah, probably. But they will probably whip up some side effect from using the Idea Engine in it's place, because Ragna can never have it easy.

Ragna's still got the Azure. It was the left hand he lost to Mu, not his right.

[up][up][up]I thought that Ragna lost his other hand and that he still has the grimoire. Though if he does not the Idea engine can function just like it.

Ah OK. I know it's been a while since I've seen the true ending, and I can never remember which arm has the Blaz Blue on it anyway.

So now he has both. This can't end well for him.

The next game needs more Valley Pirate Nu. And Depressive Lambda.

Oh, and now that I mentioned Axis Powers Hetalia, I just realized, Belarus was pretty much Jin and Nu rolled into one. OK, that's the last thing I'm saying related to that franchise, ever.

Otherarrow Since: Jul, 2010
#7889: Apr 10th 2012 at 3:12:55 PM

Clearly, one of the gag reels will be Valley Pirate Nu trying to win Ragna by proving how "sensitive" she is, by cheering up a depressed and extremely unlucky Lambda. Hilarity ensues.

But yes. More Valley Nu in BB3.

Blaz Blue: Episode 3.

What if... OK, this is a very wide idea.. but what if the next Blaz Blue game... sucks?

What would we do, then!?

#7893: Apr 10th 2012 at 4:26:29 PM

If it is anything like game 2, it will be fine gameplay wise.

And we can use this thread to bitch about how the story sucks.

Unless they do the same thing they pulled with Guilty Gear 2. Then we are fucked.

[up][up]I heard they made it a different genre entirely.

Ok I've decided to make Hazama my new main. I just feels so good playing as him.
