BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend

**Callisto** · 2012-02-17 15:22

The more I play the more I think Advanced Input(the 5F buffer) really does not affect as much as people think it does. The majority of the bnbs are cancels and not links, a ton of the links still have to be timed properly, rather than just having the move go off at the first available frame, meaning if you try to hold down the button for the 5F buffer the move will come out too early. The only two things it has a major effect on is post dash-cancel juggling attacks(this is a major deal though); and buffering dashes to come out at the end of moves that aren't dash cancelable, and that's pretty situational usage as is.

If anything the biggest change is that combos that the person can do offline are more likely to come out reliably online under 2-3 frames of input lag, which is stretching it for a greenbars connection with BB netcode. I don't see the big deal, seems like a dumb point to complain on. Not having FRCs would be a bigger scrub-friendly bitching point imo.

I think fighting games should be 100% execution and 0% strategy and it really rustles my jimmies when other people can get their characters to do what they want without wrestling with terrible game design!

holy fuck why is it that every new game they release the anouncer VA is shit.

**Callisto** · 2012-02-17 19:59

So they can sell you DLC announcers, lol. I think some of the CS2 announcers are available as unlockables from single-player modes, not sure though.

**Ragnus** · 2012-02-17 20:24

Fuck that. Wheres the announcer from CT?

It wasn't intentional, but I ended up picking up the Limited Edition copy (was aiming for Standard Edition) of this today. I had been on the fence all week on if I wanted to buy the game or not ("Street Fighter" syndrome, plus I'd hardly call myself an amazing player at the game, though I do love the story it's woven), but then decided to just go for it tonight. Went to my local Gamestop and they didn't have a copy of it (apparently they only stocked what they had pre-orders for and no extras). So, they called another Gamestop on the otherside of town and asked if they had a spare copy. They did. So I drive over there, and it turns out it wasn't a standard edition copy, but a limited edition copy.

Not an overly big deal, just thought it was a bit humorous.

what system?

**Avarice** · 2012-02-18 23:57

I played all the past iterations on the 360, but decided to pick it up for the PSTree this time.

Finally getting to put some solid time into this, Abyss mode is actually really fun, the CPU is dumbed down enough that it's mostly combo practice, it's still fun and there's some rewards for beating it.

I did a Tager Abyss run not too long ago. Accidentally set it to Stylish and just abused one button press Tagerbombs the whole way down. >_>;

**Callisto** · 2012-03-05 20:00

I'm pretty sure the CT announcer is one of the unlockable voices, I don't suppose any of you know which one it is though?

**Caiyuo** · 2012-03-05 20:23

Does it list them like it did in CS by actual name?

Yeah, it does iirc.

Yeah, I have no idea which was the CT voice actress.

**Correction** · 2012-03-05 21:01

The default CT announcer voice wasn't a character voice, if this list is to be believed.

**Caiyuo** · 2012-03-05 21:23

everything I'm seeing is naming CT's announcer as Ceclia Famador, a french voice actress.

I should qualify my earlier statement, Abyss is fun...when you don't lose 80% of the way through. 5 hours tonight that accomplished absolutely nothing because I kept losing to Unlimited Hakumen on floor 400.

Does his unlimited AI still bullshit mindread and spam drive counter like CT/CS?

In Score Attack/Unlimited Mars, I'm sure it does. Abyss, at least at floors 500 and lower, has really watered down AI, it's more just regular FG boss issues of him having massive health and buffed damage.

Unlimited Hakumen was such horse shit in the original CS, haven't played much of this iteration, but oh my god he made me so angry.
