[Textrosity]

WE LOVE YOU OLD ANNOUNCER!

COME BACK D:

[XAngelCharityX]

Whoever played Tsubakin, he/she needs more practice with her! >__>

[Leon9293]

Someone loves Michael Jackson (Yep, looking at YOU, Terumi). And now, Smooth Criminal is repeadtedly violating my mind... in a good way. xD

[NOORDINARYTROLL]

COME ON, HAKUMEN! TEAR THAT HO UP! SLICE THAT SLUT UP!

[aznserpentx]

that hazama player has no idea what hes doing beside blocking

[tuziwang]

COW bi 

[rmnhn]

that's it, go hakumen! tear that bitch a new ass, slash that skank into bloody pieces

[Jeff6557]

@Skannr1239 you are so right bro...

[deadleg6]

anybody still play ct

[Hecatom]

@deadleg6 people without CS

[Felzorful]

@deadleg6 Me not gonno buy CS thill i have all story modes on a 100%

[MuspellPete]

@deadleg6

For approximately 5 more days i will, but then i get my hands on Continuum Shift.

[Skannr1239]

Goddamnit, everyone except for the Litchi sucks hard, especially Hazama.

[Seikuftw]

i want the guilty gear guy for an announcer

GGX2 the midnight carnival that is

[Kserijaro]

My face when i realized Ranga=Gintama :D

[gh3rockzzV2]

hazama = scorpion + MJ + anime

[Otahell999]

@gh3rockzzV2 blazblue = guilty gear + anime - skills

[weglarz]

@Otahell999 BBCS takes just as much skill as GG to play competitively.

[Otahell999]

@weglarz oh yeah, right (Y)

[Anonymous7349]

Am I the only person that doesn't hate the new announcer? She doesn't get on my nerves at all like everyone seems to claim.

The only thing I've ever hated in Blazblue were some of the English VAs. Although the English VAs of Luna's and Torakaka's voices are pure sex.

[asnlunatic]

@Anonymous7349 No your not. I mean the only voice actor that really annoyed me was vanille's in FF13. I think the Eng VAs are spot on. Eng Hakumen > Jp Hakumen for sure.

[Anonymous7349]

@asnlunatic Japanese Hakumen is far superior to the English one. Sure the English VAs in Blazblue are decent but the JP VAs are exceptionally good. The original will always be superior to the translation just because things are always lost. Jin's English voice doesn't even fit his character at all.

I'm just not annoyed by the new announcer, just because it's just an announcer not some characters translation which is much more important.

[asnlunatic]

@Anonymous7349 well to each his own. Although i hate the Eng VA for Hazama.

[pyramidhead2003]

The guy playing Hazama didn't know how to play him. He was clinging to dear life the entire match. lol

[HonuGA]

I honestly can say that I don't care for the different announcer. As long as the actual game play is good, I'm alright with it.

[crazymonkey77]

On the bright side, character art is majorly improved, though Hazama's chin is a little too square.

[crazymonkey77]

Y'know, I'd complain about the new announcer, but I know I'm getting what I deserve for thinking they wouldn't actually manage to make it worse.

[TheSoliddew]

hmm i might buy this game looks fun

[krzykhm3rboi]

that litchi player was pretty sick

[MrPrinnybomb]

Okay, I'm confused. Is Tsubaki supposed to be kinda like Sophia from SC? A paladin?

[jordan8224611]

@MrPrinnybomb yes and thats why im being her

[jamiefa]

@MrPrinnybomb Tsubaki i belive is meant to be a valkrie

[297cindy]

hey is this my screen, or is your footage generally this dim? sorry if i'm sounding rude :/

[ForKa5T]

I have a feeling the Ragna is Kaqn

[XZoneCiderpowered]

what's actually changed to make Bang top tier? he looks pretty much identical to his old CT self. improved priority/hitboxes?

anyhow, I like what they've done to Hakumen, and Hazama looks fricking slick. not so keen on Tsubaki though. and the new announcer... -shudder-

[phillipkim1]

@XZoneCiderpowered I really want know to. I'm guessing the attacks of Bang is faster so it can combo more easily and the power of each attack was increased? I don't really get it myself;;;

[ForKa5T]

@XZoneCiderpowered

As people find more and more ways to exploit certain abilities of different characters, tier lists will keep changing. Bang hasn't changed that much. People have just found out better ways to use him. This makes him ultimately / generally better. He moves up. i bet if someone discovered and exposed a new way to make Iron Tager super good, he'll move up as well.

[XZoneCiderpowered]

@ForKa5T that's bull, it's true a character's metagame will develop over time but it doesn't make sense for a character to just jump from low to top tier in a flash based on that alone. conversely, Rachel didn't fall to bottom tier because people forgot how to play her, her character just got majorly nerfed. besides, as far as I know Bang's STILL low on CT. he's definitely been buffed somehow in CS.

as for Tager, all I'll say is Mike Z...

[ForKa5T]

@XZoneCiderpowered

I guess you're right. But who cares about tiers anyways. Tier lists are only important to noobs. At high level player, the player's skill is what matters. Mike Z is living proof. Plus Daigo kicking ass with Guile at the time when the new tier list said Guile sucks ass goes to say the same.

[Salem2night]

Bang bang bang bang looks slightly more epic

[SpadesHeart]

ahahahaha....rebel 1 XD

[llxKyOxll]

Why is everyone complaining about the announcer it's not like its going to make a big difference when you god dam play. What if you were asked to do the announcing and everyone started trashing on your announcing?

[motherXXXXXXXstudios]

i miss "da wheela fayeet es turaning" the old announcer was better

now its "d'weelfate iz turning" bleh

[Fishfuddah]

hazama looks like M.Jackson in his best years O.o look at him when he is just standing and graping his hat

[crazyjavi87]

Yeah. Well be thankful for one thing. It's not Fuuka from pesona 3.

[Iwannaplayssbb]

cancer!,will there be a way to mute the announcer? the one on the first game was ok , but this one sounds annoying

[Iwannaplayssbb]

cancer!,will there be a way to mute the annoucer? the one on the first game was ok , but this one sounds annoying

[Tenchinow]

Wow. Sorry, but that Tsubaki did jack all against Haku.

Yeah, Haku's a beast, and Tsubaki has to be paced correctly to get her real damage out but... come on. Really?

[NoName7467]

Since when did Scorpion come over from Mortal Kombat?

[NoName7467]

"The bill of fate is turning"

Also that looks like the ship in GG

[xXAFaintSmileXx]

Tsubaki fail.

[bazakusan0]

BA-BABA-BABANG!!!!

[junesue1205]

new bad announcer is bad

at least ct's announcer wasn't this bad.

"CAWWUHNNTURR!" derpderp

[DJRedrumofEPG]

Gai-yo HOUTENJIN!

[soulfire64]

hakumen's 4C is ridiculously fast ground poke and an anti-air poke. and his stomp is both overhead and low.

oh jeez aksys

[zatoTWO]

how can it be overhead and low at the same time?

[soulfire64]

at 5:02, it's guarded normally. my mistake. just an overhead then

[flameboy1132]

GORILLA PLATE IS TUNING! ...What? Man, these guys are pretty good. What was that poison move Bang had? New thing?

[DarknEvilShadow]

"A" nail.

[amagitsune13]

Hakumen is a fucking beast

[AzureDarkGod]

The woman saying 'The Wheel Of Fate Is Turning' and all that stuff sounds horrible, in japanese...sounds like she's drunk...

[XHolyPuffX]

It's true, the new announcer makes us all want to commit suicide.

[pat4luigi13]

@XHolyPuffX I miss the old announcer, but I will take this announcer over the one for King Of Fighters 12. Oh my God. Now that announcer is Awful.

[Raaa1n]

Yup. Bitch is annoying lol.

[fanoultimatev3]

@AzureDarkGod ??? but the announcer voice is the same in both japanese and english version! D:

[pyrodragons822]

Dear god they put in bangs theme song......

[Yeyo685]

the new hakumen design looks awesome. It looks like a hand draw. Very nice

[Zeroned666]

Tsubaki looks interesting and Hazama is awesome ^^

[anonymous53100]

does anyone know about a North American release?

[Hecatom]

oh good lord...

[dpk4]

@termcginnis DO YOU NOT BELIEVE IN JUSTICE?! HERETIC!

[arewealldead]

im sad ragna doesnt sound as violent as he did in the first bb. made him sound more exiting

[FieryShaverdian]

Hah, Hazama just claps at 9:35.

No falling down or anything. Definitely already liking his character.

[sapphire475gs]

Liking the epic shadowing on Hakumen!

[BlackTallKid]

Dammit! they changed the announcers voice! WHY!!? And they changed Bang's too? I'm hating this already.

[Hecatom]

they changed the voices for every character, they are the same voice actors

[topbluffa1]

god dammit i wish you lot would shut up about commentators voice.

if they used this voice in the first one and they used the voice from the first one in this one you would still say you wouldn't the other one.

tell me really what diff does it fucking make.

[topbluffa1]

STOP MOANING ABOUT ANNOUNCERS VOICE IM SICK OF IT!!!!!!.

i know for a fact if they used this announcers voice on the first game and the first announcers voice on this game you would STILL be moaning.

you just dont like change!.

because there is no difference!!!!! that matters.

[TRcrUsaderTH]

@topbluffa1 why do you let what others say affect you so much? it's like your giving them all the control over your own happiness.

btw fuck the new announcer ^_^

[Otahell999]

@BlackTallKid yeah, the announer's sounding too happy now, it's annoying

[waya121]

Bangs cross scar isnt on his forhead anymore 0_o its on his cheeks

[unjuiced]

this vid breeds my hatred for litchi....

[SDSOverfiend]

I like Bang new portrait at the vs screen. His only one makes him look cross eyed lol!!

[SolBadguy777]

That Ragna needs to get a bit updated with the combos and mix ups.

[darnallt]

The new characters look super tricky! I hope a BNB character is added sometime in the future--but a BNB character with a style different from Jin or Ragna.

[shogunlord]

HANNIBAL SHIFT()*

[jdgoku23]

Damn they got Latchi more hot then usualy

[Cefiro]

the Ragna is definitely not Kaqn. Kaqn always use 6DD, 5b -> GH and BE like all the time. and I've never seen him use the white color for awhile D:

[crazedpsycho]

Would the Ragna in this match happen to be Kaqn?

[your4moms]

litchi looks like a pretty strong character

hmmm i think imma take noel, tsubaki, and jin as my 3

[SonicBadGuy]

This is wonderful I can not wait to play is a feat most of BB Excellent.

Puedo Ganarles a Todos jaja ;)

[Siberianhusky89]

I can't tell whether Tsubaki is good or not... She really doesn't look so excellent, however, perhaps it was the player.

[AceEsper]

i miss the old announcer lady. im not the only one, right?

[Siberianhusky89]

Yeah, this new chick isn't satisfying my ears either... But I'm still concerned about who my secondary is gonna be... I might take up Hazama cause he kinda looks cool

[beserkerninja]

@AceEsper

No you aren't XD

[dreammad21]

Yep, your not the only one, I HATE that kids voice so bad.

[Archonus]

What's with the intense shading on Hakumen's sprites? I saw them on Taokaka in another vid too. Is that selectable for all characters?

[Hecatom]

its ana alternate color, everyone has one, its the color 12 i think

[masterdante54]

@Archonus thats called cell shading

[darnallt]

@masterdante54 Incorrect. Cell shading is a way of rendering 3D models to look like they are hand drawn and 2D. In Blazblue, they just drew in some stark shadows to get a dark, comic look.

[elrapido5150]

COUNTER!

[sumkidnamedwillis]

hakumen = zero (code geass)?

Time to make a video on this.

[byakugen]

if hakumen was zero....that war would have ended in episode 3.

[ShinjiKoon]

anyone know where i can find vidjas of the new distortion drives?

[lpenrike]

Bang=God XD

[neokyo2k]

is it me or the character look like they are shaking when hit, esp. when its a counter hit

[Hecatom]

new effects on the game, so yeah

[xxvic1ousxx]

A completely useless element to complain about - but, I liked Haku's (JP) voice over from CT much better.

[asnlunatic]

I think the english actors did a great job. Haku's eng voice was awesome. Fuck Jp sounded like scooby doo. Theres nothing badass about scooby doo.

[LukeFFabre]

All hail Hakumen vi Brittania!!!

[S4k3]

it seems like all the characters are getting a comic book ink type color scheme, with really black, blacks.  as we see in Hakumen here. Arakune also has a really sweet Black and Purple ink alt.

[azraelsohma]

the new announcer kinda reminds me of the KOF announcer with a high pitch. I think it was 98 or something like that.

[Muzakcube64]

Actually it kinda reminds me of the announcer from Marvel vs Capcom

SUPER COMBO FINISH!!!

KO!

[princeofgaia]

k new announcer is annoying as hell, ragna can cut shurikan now? Hakumen's new outline is definately interesting, and Daisuke you never fail!

[ZeonStar]

Yeah, I noticed that cool outline on hakumen, very cool...is that his main costume now? Or is that some new color.

[cartixio]

lol is Hazama hitting on litchi? o.O

[AkatsukimemberPein1]

the moment i saw that his theme song was still in here I knew this game was a must buy

[Shezmu]

So, how long before the pain from hearing the announcer's voices goes nub? :/

[lloan]

are the same seiyus, are new voice recordings, sound right after I get used to

[genoNyght64]

wow, hazama's such a good sport. lol

[XKing2]

They changed Hakumen's spirite?

Or is that an alternate color scheme?

[LavaEdge324]

He looks oddly 3d lol

[Vulcan422]

The new 12th color, instead of monochrome, is a manga-style shade.

[XKing2]

Awesome!

Does everyone have a 12 color scheme like that or is it Hakumen only?

[DarkAndersonEX]

Everyone has a selection of colors.

[XKing2]

I know that.

Sorry, I worded the question wrong.

I meant does everyone have the new color scheme?

[Vulcan422]

everyone obviously

[Mafiaboss58]

the announcer is terrible

[Vulcan422]

KAROO ROO CLOBER

[Omniofaco]

:( bangs new voice is not good at all.

[TheBlindSnowman]

the announcer may suck, and the voices may sound a bit weird...but as long as bang gots that manly song, i'm still buying it XD

[AtraLuna]

wtf....I liked the old announcer A LOT more.

[deiOppah]

ALL HAIL HAKUMEN

[Vulcan422]

YES MAI LORDO!

[kuaieq]

do the characters all have a really echo-ish voice now?

[Hecatom]

when they do their distortion drives, yes

[BlazenT]

GOD, KILL THIS ANNOUNCER PLEASE

[whobez]

Bang's new voice is so bad.

[Mysterious44]

bang can't help but bang ragna

[Vulcan422]

LOL Hakumen = Lelouch/Zero.

And Tsubaki's theme is sex.

[MugiwaraNoSlime]

All hail Britannia!
