I keep forgetting Continuum Shift comes out next week.

More games need "Teach me, miss liychi" ripoffs!
Like FF13.

I enjoy BlazBlue from a spectator point of view. Particularly watching Mike Z beat serious ass with the slowest, biggest hitboxed character in the game.

Iron Tager is the man.

  Also still gaming!

Go to tournaments, participate, start them, prove the game is competitive and get into EVO so that we don't have to watch that Melty Blood shit again.

Aw hell. Valkenhym's playable? I've been out of the loop ever since I sold Calamity Trigger.

I love everything about Blazblue except the actual gameplay. And even then the gameplay isn't the problem so much as constant the bitching about tiers.

I like the plot but it make me wanna quote Code Monkeys. (Not like thats a bad thing)
"Keep em guessing boy, keep em guessing!"

Dear Unlimited Hazama.
Please go die in a fire.

Guess thats why you get a trophy for beating him.

Oh my god, "Help Me, Professor Kokonoe" is fucking hilarious.
I don't think there's a single series that so thoroughly or flawlessly abuses its fourth wall as well as BlazBlue does.

Makoto's out on PSN, if you're willing to dish out $7.
She's pretty fun to play with, though getting used to her drive's different attack windows is kind of crazy.
She definitely has some of the best battle dialogue in the entire game, though.
"ENOUGH WITH THE COLD THINGIES, JIN"

You have to buy the character? Why didn't they just include her in the game?

>>88839
Because the DLC characters weren't finished by the time the game entered the final stages of production. That's why they only have dummy files on the disc, rather than already being there and just needing unlock keys, which would really be a huge kick in the ass.
I'm pretty sure this was the reason the price of the final game was $40 instead of $60, too.

>>88840
compare this to, say, KOF XII where the console version had Mature! Awesome! Wait, why does she feel so unfinished and awful?

Yeah, I would prefer the BlazBlue method.

>>88840
I figured they came up as last minute things after I posted it; just figured I'd get a confirmation on it. Does she at least come with her own story path though? If so then I'd feel the $8 price tag is more justified.

>>88847
No story mode, and apparently you can't play as her in arcade mode either. But I'm still tempted to buy her.
I think I have a problem

>>88857
It's a fighting game. The more the merrier.

>>88857
That's pretty retarded. Considering I hear she even appears in story mode I would think they would have planned something out for her. Granted I probably would consider buying her regardless, but the fact she's not even in arcade mode is just a straight kick to the balls.

>>88929
Considering how much added development work would have to go into that, I'm pretty sure they just want to get these characters out and about.
Plus, that would require them to restructure the gallery for the new ending art.
Anyway, it's pretty much a given that these characters will come standard on the next release of BlazBlue, so it's not like you have to download them now or you'll never get to play them.

>>88936
I would have been okay with a lack of story mode since that would have probably set it back for a bit since they would have to bring in the voice actors to do everything. However I don't see a reason to leave out being able to use the character in arcade mode.

Pardon my ignorance, but what game modes can you use Makoto in? All I'm aware of is that she can be used in training or online.
