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.

System mechanics and character changes. Less untechable time on Tsubaki's 632C and 2C kinda bothers me. Wonder what her combos will be like now..

I'm a gravity seed spammer. Most of my best combos INCLUDE IT.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HAPPY I AM TO HEAR I CAN DO 2 IN ONE BAR.

For the most part, I'm dropping MvC3 and AE to play this game. I find it WAY more fun and interesting than those games ATM.

To me, there's a lot less BS you go through when playing this game IMO. All the mistakes you do are all on you rather than stupid shenanigans and the such.

I still need to play at a higher competitive level when it comes to this game compared to the other games I have been playing, but I'm trying my best to learn this game.

Hit me up on XBL if you guys want to help me. Thanks.

sakabato24 - XBL account

Tsubaki - Main

P.S.

I'll be droppin' in and out playing this game and 3S Online, but I will not mind at all if you guys invite me out of 3So.

That and I need practice before NCI on the Sept. 3rd. cause I'm going there before I leave again for the military.

Cool, I'll add you on live soon then. I also main Tsubaki and I know quite alot with her as I've improved quite abit in this game over time. Not saying I'm the best, but I always hold my own against the better players (except Xdest x_x).

The mirror matches should be interesting. Just as well, I should be able to determine where you stand once we start playing (meaning whether or not I can give you constructive criticism or not).

Lookout for a friend request from iGunz Pr0DiGY.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I wont be online during the day THIS wednesday and thursday, due to exams. I can be on at night though just PM here if you want to play. Friday and the weekend I'll be free at anytime.

and then you fight makoto or noel

every game has their stupid shit, though. its the same with pretty much every game: it becomes irrelevant as the players level up.

True. Losing to a D spamming Noel online or losing because of a 5K combo off a counter hit from Makoto is a bit stupid, but other than that I find that BB is more challenging than that of Marvel or AE, and thus, I find it more fun.

Haha, Konan is awesome and so is Ms.Yayoi. Now lets see what the tierlist will look like after that win, and how many people will pickup Tsubaki after that. xD

Seriously though, as a Tsubaki mainer, I'm really proud to see that she's very viable to go that far. Plus Konan himself is a great player, and I greatly commend him for winning such an event. I know Kiba also won at London grounds awhile back as well.

To think I dropped Makoto for her back in CS1, she was the 2nd worst character in CS1.

Haha, I feel you there. Seeing your character win is some hype stuff, I still remember how hype I was for Guilty Gear when Dogura/N-Otoko/Efute won.

Tsubaki army probably flooding online right now.

I can definitely see this happening, but alot of them wouldnt be very good, and probably not for awhile at that. Tsubaki's gameplay is abit different to grasp compared to others in the cast, and her better combos (especially her better BnBs) arent easy to get either. 623C > j.214A(w) combos are not learned so easily, and alot of folks would just do 5BB 2BB > 5CC > 236A 214A 22A as its brain dead easy (but not bad at all either).

Even "some" Tsu players that're like ranked 60+ still mash the usual 5BB 2BB > 5CC > 6B > 22C with no real pressure outside of using her overhead at obvious times. The Tsu's I have come across in ranked and player lobbies werent very good and just heavily relied on 236C approaches (ironic how Tsu's 214D beats her own 236C/D).

I currently only have one other solid Tsu player on my friendlist other than me.

All that can change with time and practice, of course. But I know some folks that're pretty solid using Tsubaki and still cant do some of her intermediate stuff, let alone advanced stuff. I can do all her combos and setups though (hell thanks to a certain Tsu player, I've been corner carrying folks off of an FC 6CC that leads into a delicious 4k+ combo), all I need to do is continue playing better players~

I think Tsubaki is definitely gonna get a higher placement in the tierlist now after that win. I'll be playing Tsubaki even in BBCS2+, whether she's nerfed alot or alittle.
