BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger

[Insanecyclone]

I'm trying to get into playing this again on the ps3 taking a while to remember how to do some of the combos.

[Ramor]

head over to the dustloop forums, they'll have all the bnb combos and thensome for all of the characters

Considering importing this game. Waiting for EU release (despite the expansion(?) stuff) is long and I'm long to play a new fighting game.

So what do you think, import blazblue or just hold out for the EU release? I figured that the stuff coming out in the EU release could be downloaded later on, or would I need to rebuy shit?

[Moridam]

i doubt if the EU release will get anything substantial, probably just the DLC costumes or something like that. may as well import it if you're really itching to play, all the good stuff is gonna be in CS.

[Elcura]

Ah, I thought the EU release was just going to be CS. It still might be, but considering how far off it is (and still no release date) I might as well import it.

[Ramor]

i get the feeling even if you tried to play online with an imported copy the lag wouldn't be bad at all, of all the people i ever played online for BB:CT i had lag only once, the rest of the time there was never any lag with anyone

[Ragnus]

So is CS going to continue the storyline from CT? I just finished the storymode now and I'm still confused on a couple things

Spoiler: show

So is Jin actually Hakumen? . . . or a reincarnation of him?

And is CS going to continue where CT left off or is it just going to be the same game except rebalanced? At the end of "True Ending" it seemed like it was setting up that CS would be a sequel storyline wise.

the only thing i hate about arc system stories is that they do it thinking the player already knows whats going on leaving the player confuse as hell, look at guilty gear i love the story but it's confusing.

and btw

I think hakumen is jin but from another time or universe because he's different than the crazy ass we have now.

You know, regarding the story....

Spoiler: show

Am I to assume that the endings for the characters that don't give you the "Alternate Truth has yet to be revealed" message means that you didn't get the 'real' ending of the character, or is it that all the endings would potentially be real situations for the characters, rather than canon setups of what-if scenarios?

I think the non-Alternate Truth message endings were intended to be the canon endings, yes.

Story:

Spoiler: show

The story is hard to understand until you realize one important detail. There is a time loop going on. It starts when Nu/V-13 takes Ragna into the Boundary. They somehow end up in the past and their merger creates the Black Beast of legend. Jin is sucked in as well as he tries to go after his brother, and ends up in a field where Rachel finds him and offers him the sankishin armor of Hakumen, asking if he wants to become a "true hero". If you did Jin's story this should sound familiar as I believe it's the easiest ending to get.

Once you do the True Ending, the time loop is finally broken and continues on.

@Clave
That actually makes sense now that I think about it. I suppose the time circle could allow two Jins to be in existence at the same time.

Still doesn't change the fact that the actual Jin character is a raging asshole. >.>;

[Kaisha]

Spoiler: show

Haven't done all the players, but what you said so far Clave makes sense, and makes me understand why Rachel keeps going on as if she's seen this happen a good bazillion times already given she makes a cameo in nearly everyone's story.

At any rate, I'll probably be uh....'downloading' BB for PC. I would love to have it for on-the-go with my laptop (once I get me a Hori EX2 and figure out how to mod its joystick cage to be cardinal 8-way rather than a cube), I just can't be bothered to pay full price for a game I already own though. That or the PSP version comes out sooner than expected and I replace/fix my PSP before then.

[Ragnus]

Working on the "Use all Astral Heats" achievement right now and I'm kinda let down with some of them. A couple of them look amazing like Tager's, Ragna's and Nu's but others are just... kinda lame like Arakune's.

I'm probably ordering the HRAP EX because, although it's a bit more expensive than the EX2, it has snap out/in gates and buttons for easier modding. I'm not really good with electronics...

I know I still want to main Litchi but I'm having trouble choosing my sub character. I seem naturally decent with Ragna but almost everyone on XBL plays him. I'm thinking Hakumen just because he's an effing beast whenever I have to play him in Arcade mode.

For some reason I just can't get a solid grasp on using Ragna or Hakumen, and I can't figure out why.

Its true. Tager is awesome. Even though I main ragna I usually rape people much more when using Tager.

[Ragnus]

Tager is kinda odd when I was playing him. At first I was completely put off by his lack of forward dash but once I started getting used to his magnetics I was surprised at how effective he is. King of Tager is also one of the more badass Astral Heats like I said before also(Yes I know they're pretty much useless in player matches ><)...

I guess I still have some time to choose though since I have a couple single player achievements to get before I move to online mode. Right now I'm still wondering how the heck I'm going to get "A Spoon Full of Sugar."

[SnickySnacks]

that achievement isn't too bad. Do it in training, I think, with 2 rachels. use rachel 2 to throw yourself into the air until she's out of power, then keep afloat with rachel 1, rachel 2's bar will be full again by the time you run out on 1 if you did it right, then just use 2 to keep 1 in the air and you should get it.
