BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend discussion thread

Xinkai

I have it on psp.... It's wierd

Also no more Mu mixups makes me sad, so I picked up Lambda and Platinum.

Lambda is basass, basically a 4-5k combo off anything lol.

Platinum is fun to play as, but severly underpowered and confusing.

Abyss mode is damn fun, it's like score attack on steroids with all unlimited chars set to difficulty 11.

Score attack is just a joke now, too easy.

How do the controls hold up on the psp? I have never really played fighters on a portable except for street fighter alpha 3 . How drastic is the whole tier shake down now with noel and jin apparently s rank?

Pretty well actually! First time I've picked up the PSP in almost a year. Very good handheld conversion!

Mu ever having mixups is news to me.

K.O.Kiki

What do you mean, DAT ASS Mu-12 has no more mix-ups?

Xinkai

Dash 2B vortex on wakeup. Play me later and I'll show you.

Scavenger XIII

Oh.

That.

I wouldn't really call that one trick "having mixups" though.

Thanks for the feedback I will wait with inhuman patience for cs2 :cool:

You've never played my Mu. I have mixups and I don't rely on her vortex.

As I said though, all useless come BBCS2, instant wakeup on her 3C

I haven't been paying attention to CS2, still living in the here and now and playing what's out, every once in a month or so, but nothing too serious.

Still not looking at the new Ragna yet, I'll handle them when I see them. :P

Sairus

BBCS patch and Platinum DLC available on 360... now.
PS3... not quite yet.

Clocking in at 800MB, this is one of they heftiest patches to a fighter I've ever seen.

I guess I might as well get the patch and give the game another spin that I'll regret in ten or so minutes. :pac:

Japan only or everywhere?

UberPrinny_Baal

Is this the one that makes Hazama better but completely different, or will that not be until BBCS2?

Also +1 to Chopper's question

Everywhere. I'm downloading it now.

Pretty random sudden announcement.

Doctor DooM

The BBCS2 patch like?!

Sairus

I'm not sure and I'm in no position to actually check. I have no idea how this game works anymore XD
Announcement was just put up on Zen United's Blazblue Facebook Page an hour ago.

Also, whatever this patch is (it could just be to enable Platinum), it will be available on PSN on Thursday. The patching server is apparently held indepentently to PSN, so the patch will still be available, but Platinum wont be. (Not sure how true that is, I just read it on a couple of random comments)

Sairus

It doesn't mention explicitly that's it's the balance fix, and Dustloop says it has no balance changes. However, one of the changes is "[Challenge] Challenge mode updated to CS2 standard. Previous competitions transfer over." So I dunno

UberPrinny_Baal

So no Hazama 2.0?

Boo-urns. I'd like to get back into Blazblue and practice, but it's off-putting to know there's drastic character/BnB changes waiting around the corner that will invalidate anything I do now.

-[System] Console version will be equal with the April 15th arcade build.

Surely that means it is the CSII patch?

Considering the company involved, one has to ask if it's April 15th of this (or even last) year.

TVSAdamwest

Damn you zen I don't whether to be hype or not see the post above for reasons but like Chopper said surely it will be the whole update

Sairus

After some brief testing I'm fairly certain this is CS2. Tao's j.B got a fairly massive change between games and is pretty obvious to see.
I reserve the right to still be completely wrong though :pac:

Doctor DooM

There's a trailer gone live called something like "Blaz BLue CS2 featuring: Platinum the Trinity".

Still don't get your hopes up, eh?

Sairus

Nah, I'm messing around with Rachel and comparing it to this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo1Ej5Gimvw

It's definitely CS2.
It's really weird. She's hitting the opponent and his health meter is actually decreasing. This version of CS is weird.

Doctor DooM

Might need to bust out the xbox copy and bust some noob* heads with team shoryucat, then.




*note: In all likelihood I will still lose 100% of the time

Fergus_

Wow this is pretty unexpected...

Well gotta learn those new Noel combos then

TVSAdamwest

Hype Rachel might aswell give all the money from the next wheel to Doom:)
Could somebody let me know if this update is just for the american versions of CS at the moment or if its global?

Sairus

Global as far as I'm aware.

Sweet, can anyone refer me to a CS2 resource for Hazama so I can start practicing my new BnBs?
