It's called "Distortion Finish"/"Distortion Drive" moves because they cause distortions in the space-time continuum, and groundhog day loops and alternative timelines are central points in BlazBlue's story. On a related note, the rounds start with the announcement "The wheel of fate is turning" because of the endless, ever-changing time loops the world is stuck in, and the rounds are called "Rebels" because the struggle is about rebelling against said fate and breaking the loops.
thanks for the review! I been wanting to play Blazblue since i love the Guilty Gear series sadly i don't have a 360 or ps3 but i do have a psp and this game looks great so im going to pick it up
yeah i really hate the new "download and play" thing i like to own the game case with the instructions and stuff. i don't like paying for essentially nothing.
@YoukaiSlayerr Welcome to the world of fighting games lol. I haven't seen one fighting game I understand. All I DO understand is fight this guy....then this one...then this one...Now you're king of the iron fist!
@RazvanAsakura wtf.... it's from the same fucking producer so how the hell would it be a rip off? -_- and its one hell of alot better (i've played both)
@MrSeven13 thanks lol i was looking on ign and i saw that they rated calamity trigger better, but i had a feeling it was like that just because it was like a updated version of calamity trigger, cause they did the same thing to street fighter 4 and super street fighter 4
I was worried that the gameplay and modes would be hampered when changing formats, but this is just beautiful, that for the informative review. Gonna pick this up as son as i can cause i don't have a ps3 and my brother "owns" the 360
I utterly despise these types of games and make me feel the same way i feel about walking into a toilet cubicle and see a turd there waiting for me but this game actually caught my attention and looked great.
@ItouchCaseReview Yeah, got both games already. I'd say its even. Its actually a stupid comparison, since their both different fighting games. Different, yet both very very good. Dissidia Duodecim will probably surpass Blazblue, but Dissidia has its flawes which keep it back from being the better game. Dragonball Z Tenkaichi Tag Team is another great fighting game worth getting!
Anyone with a decent education should be able to understand the story of BlazBlue (which is if I might add, one of BlazBlue's more important features)
It's similar to a visual novel except it has fighting elements.
He forgot to mention the PC hack version of the Jap arcade version. Someone got ahold of the Jap arcade version and hacked it to be played on a PC. That hack was released WAY before the game even touched our shores before the 360/PS3 version and this handhold version. And that PC version is the one i played and STILL play that game was so cool. I honestly think its the most beautiful 2D fighter in countless numbers of years. I glad people still care about this genre. Oh and i bought the gamealso
@erickvso It is similar to GG but the combat speed is much slower and combos are easier to bust out. So it is much accessible than GG, but if you want more fast paced and deep fighting game then stick to guilty gear.
@erickvso Not only special attacks but there are combos that you can do with chains of basic and special attacks like punches and hadooken. There are different attacks that you can connect to the others. In GG this kind of combos are harder to do than BB but there are lots of possibilities. Both games can do aerial attacks though. But you won't know the difference unless you are good at this kind of games
There is a PC version under development but I don't know the release date.
Superb game the graphics at 1:25 is the greatest bit I managed to get it online for free at 115 games . com There are simply hundreds of playstation 3 games there to pick from and they are all totally free brilliant game
@Terramax That is like saying you should due some company for having a werewolf that howl at the moon, as it has been done by others before. Most of the creatures in Spirited Away are popular creatures from Japanese myth and legends. No Face as a character is unique, however Spirits in that shape and form is not.
You don't get it do you? Distortion finish is a reference to metal. Daisuke is notorious for including references to rock and metal in his games. It's very apparent in Guilty Gear.
This is what happens when you give too much 2D graphical power to a game designer. I think you have to be on drugs to play this. I've never seen so much spastic visual shit in my life. What the hell am I looking at?
@keybladess i never beat anyone in sf4 online. I had probably like 15 loses and 1 win, then i traded the game in. I can win a lot in blazblue. I can laso pull more combos in blazblue than i ever did in sf4...which is why i think that ppl starting in the fighting genre should pick up blazblue instead of sf4. SF4 is so casual unfriendly lol!
is it weird to like this game a lot better than sf4? I guess i found it much more approachable for noobs like me than sf4. I cannot win a single match online on sf4 lol (i know i suck)
@Rhapthorne3........ Its not that Blaze Blue is more approachable to noobs, as you put it. Its that its a all around better game. SS4 was a unfinished mess. and is no were near as good as the street fighters of old.
@ilovemaryam08 I'm sure that if pick up one of the older sf games that ill suck too though. It just requires a lot of practice. Cannot wait for the next blazblue xD
