I actually want this game seeing as I missed the whole Calamity Trigger thing... Am I right in remembering that there hasn't been a console announcement for this yet ?

interesting mechanic.

I agree. The unconventional mechanics are a real drawcard for Blazblue.

Guess I'm just an old fogey then, because it looks fucking retarded to me.

yeah he has some interesting moves
looks more fun than Tsubaki.
good comeback in the 4th round though

I've been playing CS for about a month now, and I have to say Hazama is very, very fun.

His "chest javelin" (lol) is his drive Orobous which you throw out with D, and by either pressing D again, or B or C, you can pull yourself to various positions depending on where the snake chain stopped. A is to cancel mid throw.

I was using Hakumen in CT, but now that CS is rolling round, I might bump Hazama to my main, purely because he's so enjoyable to play.

Tsubaki can do some sick damage too :|

I have been playing it for a few days now and I am really liking it. Favorite characters atm are bang and hazama.

Here are the level 10 trails from the game.

Ok so maybe there ARE some similarities with Slayer... his normals are fairly reminiscent...
