    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 :)

    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

    really? having a ball on your joystick is like having a ball on your shifter.

    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.

    For the home version, in addition to all the features from the arcade version, Arc System Works is adding a new character, u-12 (myu-12), as well as some original stages. Players will also have access to a Beginners Mode, which simplifies move input, allowing you to perform supers and throws with a single button press.

    As listed in the magazine, the mode lineup for the home version includes:

    Tutorial
    Learn everything from the basics of fighting games through BlazBlue-specific systems. This mode features full voice.

    Arcade
    Enjoy the story from the arcade version.

    Versus
    Face off against a friend or the CPU.

    Score Attack
    Fifteen consecutive rounds of combat to achieve as high a score as possible.

    Training
    Freely practice your moves.

    Challenge
    Try out character-specific missions.
    Legion
    Attempt to defeat enemies on a map.

    Story
    Enjoy combat and character-specific stories. The game includes over 28 scenarios.

    Gallery
    A gallery for event movies, BGM, and voices.

    Replay Theater
    Manage and view network battle replay data.

    Network
    Enjoy online combat. Compatible with rankings and replay viewing. The game's producer mentioned in a short commentary blurb that the game's network component will be beefed up and made more user friendly.

    BlazBlue Continuum Shift is currently 60% complete and is set for Summer release.

    Yes it is. I would like to buy a customer arcade stick, but I don't have the skills for the art.
