BlazBlue: General thread.

Anji's greatest moment was joining That Man IMO. I'm hoping he'll stay that way for the next GG.

And Gamefaqs is best ignored on these kinda of things.

but dude seriously, your obsession with Litchi borders on 2-chan otaku creepy.

Well, his Algorithm of turning Face again is above average, so you may not want to keep on hoping that. Unless you find something faulty in that algorithm scoring. (But why is it the best thing to happen to him? Evil Is Cool?) But, awesome or not, I think Anji is still a pretty neutral guy, he wasn't abusing the law for evil stuffs...

As of staying that way, you'd need to make a guess which Good Ending will be taken from AC+: Baiken's (Anji quits That Man to protect her), or Anji's (Anji doesn't quit and observes Baiken)

I'm just constantly worried if they'd make Litchi take the path of Anji and that'd be depressing. Obsession seems like the wrong term when compared to... paranoia. Perhaps it is born from expecting her to be an Escapist Character (like Superman), only to be slammed otherwise (looking more 'relatable' in terms of making mistakes, like Spider Man)

Dude, why do you care so much? Its just Fan Dumb.

Also, I'd put Tsubaki higher on the Mortality scale, seeing how she was originally supposed to die in the default timeline. And Rachel can't die, so her Mortality rating is moot.

(I told you. I was disappointed that she was not the Escapist Character I expected her to be, and I try to keep convincing myself that she is still one)

Well, which parts about my algorithm you find wrong (the Mortality scale)? Tell me.

You're the one who added the Blaz Blue example to the page I take it? There's nothing wrong with the calculations per se, I'm just not convinced the scale itself is wholly accurate. Not quite sure how you could factor in Tsubaki being fated to die. Do we have a trope for that? And like I said, certain characters (Rachel, Terumi, maybe Nu), cant die, so I dont think the scale really applies.

EDIT: Maybe Tsubaki is Doomed by Canon? Of course, since the timeline is completely screwed up, I'm not sure how well it fits.

Ah-yup. I added them.

If you can come up with the calculations for Destiny, then apply it there. Though, Immortal or not, there's always one chance that they may lose their immortality and die. Failing that, there's also another way to put them out of commission.

You cannot say about Tsubaki Doomed by Canon, though. There's also the rumors about how 'Noel's existence may save Tsubaki from the doom in a world without Noel'. You gotta factor that too you know.

Yeah, thats why I said Doomed by Canon might not fit exactly. And I suppose Terumi could wind up as Sealed Evil in a Can. But with the fandom he has behind him, I think he probably has Joker Immunity.

It was awesome for Anji because it finally gave him a notable presence in the main story, or at least a step towards that. Before he was pretty minor compared to mostly everyone else, even with having one of the confirmed outrage weapons. He had very little impact or interaction with the main story, often reduced to just being Baiken's fanboy and Chipp's teacher, though I guess revealing May's heritage to her might be important later on if that was canon. But now that he's aligned with the series' main villain(at least so far) he could start having more importance and even have his character develop more.

^ So basically, ANYTHING to involve the character to the main storyline. (But then, that means you'll need to put in the Assassin Guild characters (Millia, Eddie, Venom) who's minding their own businesses afar from the Sol-That Man conflict for them to get even better, eh?) Even if they become the opposite of what their default characteristics are (for instance, what if Anji becomes psycho-crazy like I-No? Though judging from his AC+ story mode, he's far from that)?

Usually I don't mind Character Development... just so long as they don't end up straying from what makes them... THEM.

@Omega Kross: And that's if Blaz Blue goes beyond this one after Continuum Shift. If the story ends in a trilogy...

Ragna uses Blood Kain in ways you wouldn't expect in CS 2.

Blarg, combo notation confuses me.

CH 3C, 2C>j.2C = 2103

The guy from this thread at least put a key (,=link and >=cancel), but what does CH mean?

Stupid question, but what are the other Sankishin units, aside from Takamagahara?

Takamagahara is actually not one of the Sankishin.

The Sankishin are the Susano'o (aka Hakumen), the Tsukuyomi, which is in Rachel's posession, and the Amaterasu, which we know almost nothing about.

See, i thought i was starting to get a basic grasp of the Blaz Blue plot and then i realize i have never heard of any of those things.

Well, apparently my 360 refuses to read my BlazBlue disc. Freezes up on the intro and loading screens.

I suppose that gives me incentive to buy Continuity Shift then.

I don't know about you but I judge the freedom of an individual nation by whether a sexy flat-chested blonde can distortion drive a sexy buxom chinese girl into the sky.

"United Arab Emirates."

Stopped reading it right there to know what what going on. Good grief.

^^You forgot Bang.

They must have freaked then they saw Mu.

We should show them Platinum's ass just to drive the point home.

Honestly, if consumer logic is the same as over there more people will end up playing it now that it's been banned.

Although that makes me wonder what they'd think of Dead Or Alive.

It wouldn't surprise me if Do A wasn't banned at all, Moral Guardians being as arbitrary as they are.

So true. Makes you wonder if there's an actual technique for flying under the radar. Guess not, seeing as a hardcore 2d fighter like Blaz Blue is basically the perfect kind to avoid the eyes of the average consumer. They really do just randomly lash out at things don't they?

There's a rumor that CS 2 PSP/3DS are having a different Story Mode than CS, in the vein of GGXXAC+. As in, everyone gets new stories in Kagutsuchi, BEFORE they go to Ikaruga.

Confirm?

Can anyone steer me towards a CT Carl combo guide that has things that will work on everyone as opposed to just one or two specific characters?
