Review: BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger

[RollForInitiative]

Does anyone know if this game is on any other console besides the 360?

It was released for the PS3 as well.

Got this game a few days after it came out. I gotta say, I think it's the best fighter on the 360. Learning combos is hell though. I currently main with Noel and v-13 (yes, I've been called cheap for it) but I'm gonna try Bang since he just oozes awesome.

I will also call you cheap for using V-13, if only because it's so blatantly obvious that she's a cheap character the moment you play her. You are redeemed by your desire to learn the awesome of Bang however.

Your reflexes better be faster than your posting skills or I'm going to take you to task in a BlazBlue match Funk!

Edit: Not really. I'm just running my mouth for the sake of trash-talking (trash-typing?)

Rats, hoping it would be on Wii or DS or soemthing... Oh well, thanks for replying anyway guys

 

[TwistedEllipses]

That looks like it would put Soul Calibar to shame...

Hey now. I came in second in the Staff SF4 Throwdown! Bring it, man. Bring it.

Second place is the first loser, right? Hey, if I'm going to get destroyed I'm going to make sure it's with good reason!

Besides, didn't I already add my C.Y.A. statement to my above post already?

 

[Nerdfury]

Hey, guys? It's Soul Calibur. Cali.B.U.R. Not Calibar, or Caliber. Or Calibre. Calibur.

That said, this game looks pretty decent.

Well I do like fighting games... but not anime. Well there are some anime I DO like although they're more cyber and steampunk as opposed to flamboyant and camp... I'll play the demo first if the gameplay is as strong as they say.

is Bang really awesomer than Chipp? i mean, Bang yells out every move he does, but Chipp yells random words in Japanese. Bang has a cooler weapon, but Chipp can explode.

And most importantly, in one ending, Chipp dedicates himself to becoming President. can Bang really compete with AMERICA'S FIRST NINJA PRESIDENT? i'm sorry, but i'll believe it when i see it.

I do love my V-13 but I use her very rarely. Only when people piss me off. Other than that I stick to Noel and have gotten pretty decent with Jin.

Bang is indeed awesome. Especially when you use Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan. I just need to figure out some combos so he'll be useful online.

Looks very like DarkStalkers. Even the brown hooded one resembles Hsien Ko.

 

[Hammith]

Hakumen is my favorite. He plays much more strategically than most of the others, and he's more about timing than anything else.

I also enjoy playing V-13, Jin, Bang, Taokaka, and Litchi

For the love of all that is (un)holy, pronounce it correctly! If they wanted you to call it "Blaze-Blue", they would have made the name "Blaze-Blue", but is it? IS IT?!

Seriously, though, once we get more copies of the limited edition of BlazBlue in, I'm going to get my friend to hold me a copy of it. I've been waiting for it forever and, being such the massive Guilty Gear fan that I am, want everything that comes with it. You know you're a fan of Sammy's / Arc System Works' games when you trade in your copy of Guilty Gear Accent Core just to get Guilty Gear Accent Core Plus... like I did some days ago. And I never looked back. Kliff and Justice are too good to pass up.

Good review, I definitely want to try this game out, but man, Funk, you sound so absolutely bored in the video. Where's the enthusiasm?!

I'm - John - Funk. Please - Insert - Girder.

Wow... I still think the Guilty Gear, Samurai Showdown and Last Blade games are the prime example of fighting games in general. BlazBlue definately looks as if I could add it to that list. Got to get this as soon as I can!

 

[Beowulf DW]

I'd love to give this game a try. That guy in blue with the katana looks awesome.
...
...
All right, I just think he's cool 'cause he seems to be using iaido, and I think that's awesome.

 

[Demiath]

I've never bought a fighting game in my entire life and never watch anime but despite that I recently ordered a copy of BlazBlue. The insane 2D graphics are just too amazing to pass up on and the apparently finely tuned combination of initial accessibility and bewildering complexity sounds very promising...

I'm just going by how the lady pronounces it in the special bonus video. And the japanese pronunciation works out to something like "Bray Brue," actually. Go figure.

When I speak enthusiastically, I speak fast. I'd rather you all be able to understand what I'm saying
