DESCRIPTION

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger is a 2D fighting game by Arc System Works, the studio that created the distinctive Guilty Gear series. As the developer's first 2D fighter developed for high-definition systems, BlazBlue features fast, anime-inspired fighting action, which plays out over detailed, multilayered backgrounds, with flashy, sometimes psychedelic visual effects for special attacks and big hits. The fighting takes on a certain rhythm, as there is a split second pause after each hit, giving players who can catch on to the cadence a chance to use the brief freezes to time their next move or counterattack. The action is very fast, and without the stuttering pauses, few humans could hope to keep up. Each character has a special "drive" attack move, which is difficult to perform of but devastating if used correctly. The story of the game involves dissent and destruction among a powerful council, known unofficially as "the Library," which controls a great power that once saved humanity, but which now wields its power in protective, some say repressive, ways. The game's developer declared BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger to be the "spiritual successor" to the Guilty Gear series. Its roster of combatants is a rogue's gallery of weird, super-powered, emotionally complicated characters, including vampires and werewolves, and the beat-'em-up action plays out to an unrelenting precision-metal soundtrack by composer Daisuke Ishiwatari. ~ T.J.

“@BigRon3400 Yeah, Rachel takes quite a bit of skill, but those who can use her well are most impressive.

I'm a Jin/Noel player myself.”

“Quirky, Beautiful, Technical, Flawless Online. Even with a smaller cast Blazblue is in everyway better than SF4”

“So, what are the big differences between SF and BlazBlue? The only fighting game I own is Ragdoll Kungfu, so I really don't have a heck of a lot of experience with them.”

fnook was the last to comment - 2 months ago...

“Nitty-gritty mechanics mainly. My fighting game diet was cultivated on the 2D fighters like SF2 in the arcades. BlazBlue is the cutting edge latest of that exact system. Thankfully it follows the mantra "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". SF4 went the other way, and made their game a crock pot of everything else that's out there. And although it's still a good game, I just have a really hard time finding my groove with it, and I get more frustration out of it than enjoyment. BlazBlue has it perfect, and I get loads of enjoyment out of it.

I think part of the reason I like it more is that, I feel BlazBlue obviously does NOT take itself too seriously, and smacks you across the face playfully with it's absurdity. I mean seriously, one of the victory speeches has one character telling the loser that her "boobies are too small, and maybe she should eat more dumplings to make her boobies bigger".. - Whereas SF4 tries to flaunt it's resume around and tries to force you to respect it's campiness as though it were some sort of crazed legend of old that every gamer should hold near and dear. In spite of the fact that we all thought it was pretty dumb stuff even for 1982..”

“Ah! Gotcha. Well, in that case, I think you should try Rag Doll Kung Fu. You don't get much less serious than that game! :D

(I'm not sure if you have played it. I'm being lazy and not checking your games. :P)
