BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend

[Kaisha]

Just played part of the story mode...and fucking way too much lols in it. Least this time if you lose, u have the option of redoing the fight or just game over.

And best of all, losing in Story doesn't count towards 100% this time around.

The "Help me Dr.Kokonoe" skits are full of laughs as well apparently. Can't wait to get my damn copy.

[Xerlic]

Gettin mine this weekend. Darus, I'll msg you when I'm online.

[Nitsuki]

prolly gonna pick it up for the lolz, but mostly story mode.

[Deathbringer]

Challenge mode.....it lives up to its name....wtf

[Kaisha]

Yay, some of the shipments to Canada got delayed, only estimate I got from my EB was Friday, possibly Monday. -.-

Do they should a demonstration at least? That was my beef with SSF4's trials as they decided to let you figure out the timing yourself.

They do but....holy fuck @ certain ppl examples: hakuman, noel, and arakune

This is great news, that was a huge waste of time.

[Kaisha]

Fuck man, I think getting 100 challenges done is going to be the major blocking point for my platinum trophy this time around.

[Deathbringer]

To get the "100%" on ppl's story, u still gotta win/lose fights :/

[shukudai]

Local gamestops all got owned, some delay, Friday/Monday to get it. Goooo Canada! >_>

that doesn't look *too* bad, it'll take a few tries to be sure, but his specials all cancel together. the only real challenge there i think is just memorizing what order they go in, execution shouldn't be a huge issue.

only painful points there for me at least, are the TK hotaru's, which i still manage to fuck up on an embarrassingly regular basis.

Only have to lose fights that are required to branch off to a different path as far as I've read. The 'losing every single fight on every path' shit from the first game is gone, which Kokonoe attests to in her little skits.


I hope to learn a trick or two from Tao's challenges, some of her crap is a bitch to pull off since it's all air juggling and requiring the right timing to cancel out of her drive to line up with the opponent and continue comboing, if only my damn copy would come in. ;/

[Darus Grey]

I can't tell if online is worse in this game or I've just gotten good enough to the point I just notice it a lot more, but nothing but dropped combos all-day that I have near 100% success offline.

Ugg, was really looking forward to getting more matchup variety too.

[Kaisha]

It's probably thanks to the scattered playerbase, I've had nothing but shit connections in CT today.

[Milks]

playing right now on XBL, gamertag is Rui XVII

lets get some games in people

[Kaisha]

My pre-order finally came in (local EB only received 1 PS3, 2 360 copies >.> ), so I'm game to get my ass handed to me online.

PSN is Genexi2


[EDIT] Oh shit, we can join player matches mid-match now, awesome.

Not really digging the new D-card or the lobby interface, not as easily readable. Does installing help much on the loads?


How the fuck did you learn all those characters so well Rubedoe? You put my Tao to shame. Going back to training to figure out her changes more.

[Rubedoe]

not that i know of but i dont really see that big of load times.

[Rubedoe]

Well tagers simple as it comes, hazama i can do like 1 or 2 combos same with tsubaki, bang i know his imputs. Ragna and lambda are the ones ive been practiceing with the most online although lambda i suck as right now because i can never seem to get pressure going with 5d 4d 214d for awesome gaurd breakage.
Anyone know if psn will be getting the dlc japan has anytime soon?

[Kaisha]

Was surprised to get a double-down within 30min of playing the game though, heh. I'm not sure who I'm doing as my third after I buckle down and learn Tager more. My B button is starting to piss me off though, probably going to swap it with another button later.

Heh, seems Makoto gets three trophies of her own, I guess they relate to the usual character-specific trophy, probably one for finishing her challenges, no idea what the third one could be, score attack win perhaps.

And god damn, they went thorough with the tutorial, not seen something that went into all the details since Virtua Fighter 4, but this is all voice-overed.

[EDIT] Wait, what? They kept the taunt-vs-cpu = 100% heat thing, figured that was only in the test build that got leaked. Guess not. Wonder if it works in Score Attack also, will make my life a hell lot easier.

that alone is worth the upgrade, sweet jesus i can't wait to get my hands on this game.
