After a recent offline session with Khuntry I stand by my past statement that this was fighting game of 2009. Hype for Continuum Shift reignited.

How many charactera are we up to in Continuum Shift?
I mean, I love me some BlazBlue, but 13 is a little low in modern fighters. |

We're getting three new characters in Continuum Shift, not counting V-13 turning into a "different" character.

July 27th it's go time.
16 characters may be much less than other games but this is only an update to a new IP. It doesn't have years of backlog characters to pull from like Tekken, Soulcalibur, or Street Fighter. In fact this the only new fighter around. |

Yeah, I don't mind the lack of characters so much because it's all so fucking balanced. I play probably the worst character in the whole god damn game, and I only ever really have trouble with Arakunes.
And even then, it's only certain Arakunes. |

And they're already teasing me with potentially playable characters in the future. After Tsubaki and Hazama were confirmed, my mouth started watering for Jubei, Makoto and even that Chinese waitress or whatever that hangs out with Litchi.

Arakune is an annoying prick. Very satisfying catching him, though. Blazblue has metagames like crazy. I can imagine how it would turn off people but once they understand the freedom of the game and 'get' their character the fight is on.

![]() Playable Makoto? Yes. Is she DLC? ...Also yes. No word on prices, or if she'll be unlockable in-game like the Unlimited bosses were. So we're up to like, four new characters. |

While I knew Makoto was inevitable, I didn't think she'd be trying to stuff herself into May's old outfit.

Man, Guilty Gear had a cross dresser, a girl in love with an inanimate object and a special attack named Scalpel Enema. And... Venom. And I-No. BlazBlue is just trying to keep up.

Skipped on Blazeblue, as it wasn't sold in my area. Might pick this updated version up.

This game is probably more entry-user friendly than Street Fighter.

I don't know. BlazBlue has a little more emphasis on sticking to one character, since everybody has such dramatically different strategies (rather than "this guy is for turtlin'")
On the other hand, BlazBlue's hitboxes, priority, etc are easier to learn, but I blame that on the transition from 3D to sprites. Edges are more obvious |

Yeah, fuck complex inputs. I can see some shit happening and I'm like ok, time for Move A (which is like <---, -->, A,B,X,Y,B,B,A,Y,X,Q, --> X), then I botch it, proceed to do Move B and get raeped.

Supposedly, Makoto's Drive works a bit like Slayer's Pilebunker from GG. And it does more damage depending on how high of a combo you peform before you do it, so it's supposed to get tossed on at the end of big strings.
Speaking of new characters, Mu-12 (aka RoboNoel) versus Tsubaki: |

The action is frentic and you may have to execute a bit faster but it's certainly more freedom than Street Fighter and the controls and combo system will click much faster.
