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.

I recently played BBCS, and i have to say I'm quite disappointed. The game doesn't make me want to play BB anymore at all. I originally hopped on the BB train because that was where all the competition was, but shit doesn't appeal to me besides it's nice 2d animation and graphics. I'm sticking to GG, because with that, I didn't mind spending HOURS upon HOURS in training mode learning Slayer's full health combos. Perfect how to IAD into j.K. But seriously, I know BBCS made a step up for most of the characters I used, but overall, pretty lame. And the endings of certain characters lead you to believe yet ANOTHER BB coming our way. An example would be Hakumen's ending, I played his route only, but man oh man, cliff hanger made me hate this game even more. IF anything, at least it has a much better story than GG, but thats really it. =/

I've never actually played this, is it better than GG?

I prefer to use Rachel Alucard and Noel Vermillion. Rachel might be a bit hard to use because her damage output is pretty low but I think Noel might be a bit easier to use. As for sites, try here

I know kinda obvious isn't it? xD

Lol, I guess so. But anyway I'll give this game a shot then.

And do some snooping around the web for some sites.

no, and this is just my opinion, but guilty gear Accent Core is a much better experience overall.

my favorite in CT is rachel, reason being she could pretty much do it all, god like zoning ability and good damage. she has some pretty good setups and can do a safe rush down which usually resulted in your opponent dying in a matter of seconds. her drive [silpheed] is good too, you can use it for zoning & mix up option, and her wind combos were beastly as in average 4k damage. i wouldn't recommend trying her in CS if you're new to blazblue, she got nerfed pretty horribly.

as for CS my main is Tsubaki, new character for the sequel she has some pretty good links, also kara throw. The range is pretty decent on this, and everyone knows she needs some damned range on her vanilla throw.

i recommend starting out with either Ragna or jin seeing as both are good for newbs to the series.

^^ gotta love that Mu-12 Ass.

also, this may not concern many players, but...

The PC version of BlazBlue Calamity Trigger -- yes, the first BlazBlue -- is at long last arriving on May 27. And if you can figure out why the release schedule for this series is so fucked up, I'm all for listening! Arc kept PC gamers waiting, but they'll be making up for it with some free goodies. The official website just opened and it makes note of two features.

The first feature is cross-platform play with the Xbox 360 version. This means that owners of the PC version and the Xbox 360 version can play against one another.

The other feature is free downloadable content. The Xbox 360 version of the game had several paid DLC packs for color pallets for the characters and unlimited versions of some characters. These are all included for free on the PC version.

The PC site also has a spec chart. In the chart, circle means required and double circle means recommended. Triangle means the item has been confirmed as compatible.

Damn, I'll be buying this as soon as the PC version hits retail. Wouldn't surprise me if it won't be available where I live though, because you know...it's 2D, it's anime styled. Netherlands tend to avoid that shit.

ground breaking news for fans of squirrels!!!
YES, a fukken squirrel.

console release is getting closer and plans for DLC are already taking shape.

It was announced that DLC will include additional playable characters, system voice arrangements featuring popular voice actors, and additional character colors. No more specifics have been announced.
it appears as though the other DLC character will be v-13...no [dlc] release date has been announced, but I am effin ecstatic about squirrel girl Makoto.
