BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Extend

[Tobi]

While the BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma title has been confirmed by Arc System Works, other details come via a fan who was in attendance at BlueFes, so take these with a grain of salt.

Chrono Phantasma reportedly has three new characters, and the neutral poses for the series’ returning cast of characters have been redrawn. The older characters have also been given new costumes and moves. For example, Noel allegedly no longer wears a cap and now carries a different weapon.

MMCafe’s Professor has provided clearer translations of jinjya3′s details. We’ve included them below, along with an image portraying the emblems of the three new characters. Location testing for the title will begin on Monday in Japan at Akihabara Hey.

• The new release will be titled Blazblue Chrono Phantasma.
  There’s reportedly a lot that’s been changed in the game. The neutral poses have been redrawn for all the characters, and their costumes are even different. Of course they also have new moves.
  Noel has a different weapon and she doesn’t wear a cap this time.
  Tsubaki seems to be the version that’s fallen to the dark side.
  Hazama has a new DD
  The BGMs seems to be different as well
  Three new characters will be added in: Amane, Barret(Bullet?), Azrael. Amane fights with something like a cloth, Barret looks a bit like Makoto, Azrael is muscular.

WINTER 2012 LETS GO

[Kaisha]

Day 1 for non-shitty announcer and non-shitty portraits. Also, fuck, less time to finish my platinum trophy on CSE....

Seems they possibly changed the burst system? Only seeing the one icon this time in its place without a translucent second one.

Spoiler: show

Fucking Aksys, I'm a sucker for this series even after I swore it off after CSE. This better be the last one.

[Callisto]

It looks like Burst will have a cooldown timer instead of specific quanitty of uses.

[Correction]

Looks like they've found yet another way to remove clothing from Noel Vermillion's uniform.

[Cantih]

Huh, they dropped the pattern.
Would have thought the next game would have a CR or CN subtitle.

Arcade this winter, console tba

System

Gold Bursts have been removed, replaced with Overdrive.
Green Bursts work as before.
Crush Trigger: Pressing A+B during certain attacks will break your opponent’s guard (unless they’re using Barrier). This costs 25% Heat.


Overdrive Details

Builds up over time, activated with ABCD.
Increases attack power(?) and grants character-specific benefits.
Duration depends on your health.
Freezes the timer when used.

xfactor coming to blazblue

yay

[Kaisha]

I'm trying to fathom why they would lock the timer during it. Do they expect many people to get a match within 1-2 seconds and then pull it off as a last-resort? Seems like something you'd save for final round (I'm assuming it builds up over the match, not per round) and make a go with it mid-fight.

[Callisto]

Bullet looks pretty cool, plus is that first new one Rose lol?

[Callisto]

snap, I'm hearing that Bullet is actually a grappler
