When Blazblue was announced last year I was pretty skeptical, why the hell was Arc putting out a game that was not Guilty Gear X3. Their previous offerings had mixed reviews, Hokuto No Ken was probably the most broken game of all time and Sengoku Basara X was a failure for the most part. As more info became available it became clear that this was not a generic GGXX clone but it was something more, as vids came online my interest in the game grew, to the point where Street Fighter 4 became a game to hold me over til this game came out.

So now the game is out. The verdict ? Its bleeping amazing (and looks even more amazing in HD)

This game isn't that noob friendly and if you're like most and don't like to work for a win this game is not for you. I had a hard time learning what the hell I was watching on the screen while attacks were flying here and there. Combos aren't as easy like in Guilty Gear where you could dial a combo with some characters, no this game requires more thinking and fishing for opponent mistakes.

Overall you need to play smarter to win, knowing the character matchups plays an integral part in the competitive aspect of the game, the last boss is toned down to playable form , is the top character in the game with a major advantage vs some characters.

Training mode is very detailed, with options for seemingly everything.

The netcode is clearly the BEST NETCODE EVER. SF4 doesn't come close, and to top HD Remix netcode is pretty impressive. Just last night I was playing some guy online, only to find out afterwards that he was from japan, I got a pretty sweet cutarse and enjoyed every minute of it. This brings me to the next best thing, replay saving, this is something all fighters should have imo, the ability to save the replays of matches in vs and online, saved a couple replays online and gonna capture them later on.

My single gripe with the game is the easy specials option which noobs are abusing online. Why the hell put in one button attacks anyway. The upside is that there are several filters available when searching for matches.

The gamerankings average for this game is 90% and many reviewers have called this game a legitimate threat to SF4's crown. I don't think SF4 is gonna lose steam as it is more noob friendly with its simplified inputs and all that, but hey what do I know.

Bottom Line - The game is good, get it if it's your cup of tea or if you think you can handle the pressure.

I see they have a sol bad guy wannabe but does it have silly characters like guilty gear x did? any yo yo weilding freaks? or little girls with anchors or cross dressers???

I like my fightesr mean! Have enough trouble dealing with ridicule for Panda in Tekken 5 dr from the misses.

lol, anyone has this up north? lemme come take a lil sweat and see if it's worth my PS3 $$

*edit*steups, Rb explain these mcs!

Well I ain't so mind Bang, he looking like a serious man, but just included for the "WTMC" factor of a fighter carrying a man size NAIL. lol

The designs are "interesting" as expected from GG creators.

I know you liked the clerics from Equilibrium, theres a character named Noel that uses gun kata.

Arakune is weird, it so hard to fight to against it because shit flying at you from all directions.

Rachel is the vampire chick, she's the character i use, kinda plays like dizzy from GGXX.

Can't say much about catgirl, haven't touched her, but some people have rushed me down online.

Bang is a serious man, he gets his own theme song when he does his special super.

I got the game for the PS3 and I've gotta say this is an amazing game. If you can get the limited edition for the training videos, or torrent it. It really helps to see these videos as the game does play a bit different from other fighters.

Like rb said you really got to work for your combos, its not just about learning the actual move, its about pressuring or baiting your opponent into position. I tried online today and it played eggcellent, I got my ass handed to me pretty much everytime, my first match was against a level 20 v-13, almost loss double perfect.

Yes this game does not have mainstream appeal but for anyone who really like fighting games this should be a must buy.

They very helpful, especially for this kind of game. They even give you some pretty advanced strategies with each character. The only thing better would be showing you how to counter some of those advanced strategies.
