That is the most epic fail at Trolling I have witnessed in a good while ! Too bad we don't have an award for that (hint : .jp means a japanese site)
I need a stick for when I get SSFIV. Sadly I never got Blazblu but it's never too late. I know it's one of those hidden gems. Maybe when my finances are I'll pick it up.
BlazBlue is from the same maker (Arc System Works) that did the Guilty Gear series, which I love to death. The strip's meaning is that like GGX series, the battle engine has a lot of freedom for you to find what can be done, what can be chained or linked.
Pretty sure my gf would leave me if she saw that. She makes fun of me for a lot of the toys I buy myself. Very cool all the same. Do you need to be sitting at a desk/table to use something like this? I'd think setting it on your floor/lap would actually be murder on your wrists for power gaming sessions.
If anyone has PS3 Blazblu and is up for a match aka kicking my ass handily, let me know. and for those who haven't gotten it yet... wait a bit Continuum Shift should be coming soon with rebalances and two new playable characters... oh and another abominawsome Bang Shishigami vocal song -KM Bang Shishigami- Because sometimes victory isn't about beating your opponents face into the ground, it's about annoying them that you just entered in the command to override their theme in favor of your epic Super mode OST
lol @ happ stick and buttons. real men use sanwas. and have a pic of the baddest martial artists eva... i main fei long, so anyone who wants to bring it to SFIV or SSFIV when it comes out, add isurus1 to your friends list. i am xbox and pc. attached is my stick made by arcade-in-a-box.com - ps3-360-pc compatible. has a mic port too. oh, and my name is on it too
New version of BlazBlue coming this summer : from http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/02/09/blazblue_continuum_shift/ The arcade version of Continuum Shift hit arcades in November of last year, and brought with it new playable characters like Tsubaki Yayoi and Hazama as well as balance and move adjustments for the current cast. Of course, the HD 2D visuals for which the original was known returned for the sequel, which ran on the Taito Type X-2 arcade board.
