What is Blazblue?
Blazblue is a fighting game from Arc System Works, the makers of the famous Guilty Gear. It was originally meant to be set in the same universe, but apparently not? Anyway, to any of you who are familiar with Guilty Gear, you should know what to expect. Which is batshit insane characters, fast-paced gameplay and the best music to ever grace a videogame.
But how does it play?
Unashamedly copy pasted from wikipedia.
The game uses an 8-directional lever, common to most fighting games, and 4 attack buttons: Light, Middle, Heavy, and Drive, the latter of which activates unique special abilities for each character. Throws and throw cancels are performed by pressing medium and strong at the same time. In addition to basic dashing and jumping, there are also double-jumps and aerial dashes.
Heat Gauge: An energy gauge used for the Distortion Drive and Rapid Cancel.
Distortion Drive: Special attacks unique to each character that consume 50% of the heat gauge. Performed with some arrows motion plus the drive button.
Barrier Gauge: A gauge that regenerates over time, used for Barrier and Barrier Burst. The defense capability of a character is lowered for a set period of time when this gauge reaches zero.
Barrier: Pushes back the enemy and prevents guard damage. Performed by pressing weak attack and medium attack at the same time while guarding.
Barrier Burst: Pushes the opponent away, either when guarding or receiving damage, thus cancelling the enemy's combo in the latter case. Uses 100% of the barrier gauge and leaves it to zero for a set period of time. Performed by pressing all four buttons at the same time.
So, basically, mostly renamed versions of what's already in Guilty Gear.
Online details!
the match making system is awesome. I can honestly say, BB online model is far superior compare to SF4. Though might be a bold statement, But here's a quick breakdown:
Here's one scenario that should give you an idea.
I log onto XB Live, Play BB, go on network mode. I look for a rank match, but before that I wanna see among my friends who's in the top. From there, I can see some replays of my friends matches that they uploaded and see how they are doing. It'll even show you who they last played based on the icon next to their name. Next, I get bored watching my friends bullshit replays so I wanna see the top of the top, so I browse on the monthly leaderboard, I can now see who's at the top and check out his best replays and realize how sucky or how much better I am...So I get pumped up and I noticed some of my friends are online as well. So I start a lobby and start dictating the amount of slots I want for players and spectators. From there, I invite all my friends and we all say wassup and proceed to kick each others ass. We can save replays, spectate, and talk as much trash as we want. But wait, I got a homie that just signed on, sends me a msg, talking shit about my match!
But when I look at my lobby he ain't there!
How that works is my boy is searching for rooms to join but before joining, a player can see what's going on in each room, including icons that display who's currently fighting in the current match, who's winning the match, connection speed of the room, and who's in the lobby.
And there is still various other options and setups.. but that's just one example from player match...I hope that gave you an idea on what is to come.
And yes, this is for PS3 as well. So no haters please....
Now, hook up some rep points!

Story for anyone who cares:
Before the events of BlazBlue, humanity was on the the verge of extinction from the "Black Beast", a creature of Darkness. Hope came in the form of six heroes who wielded the power of magic. Together, the six heroes & humanity created "Armagus" a combination of Magic & Technology to defeat the Beast, which would be known as The First War of Magic.
After the war, the New World Void Space Cue Administration Bureau was created to govern the new world which has discovered the use of Armagus. Under the Bureau, Humanity began reconstructing & the world was under their dictatorship. However this caused much dissent for the people due to fact Armagus was used in every issue & the widening socioeconomic gap between those who could use & cannot use Armagus. This dissent would eventually form years later into The Ikaruga Civil War or The Second War of Magic, when the Ikaruga Union openly rebelled against the Bureau. After the war, the Bureau imposed a harsher rule on the world declaring anyone that defies them will be killed.
On December A.D.2199, several years after the Second war, a branch of the Bureau was utterly destroyed by an SS-class traitor named "Ragna the Bloodedge" also known as "the God of Death." His quest was to destroy the Bureau. The New World Void Space Cue Administration Bureau, hoping to stop him, immediately put the largest bounty ever for anyone who could capture him.

V13 - The sub-boss of the game, V13 looks like a mechanical/cyborg girl who floats in mid-air, is short, has short white hair, mecha shoulder pads, what appears to be an eye scanner on one of her eyes, and is colored all white. Strikingly resembles Noel.
Haku-Men - The boss of the game, he looks like a cross between Justice from Guilty Gear and a white samurai, wielding a long sword. Both Haku-Men and V13 were seen at the EVO location test for the game.
JESUS CHRIST THAT WAS LONG.

There's still plenty of time.
I'm looking at Taokaka. :winky:
i.e. which of these chicks... isn't?
Video of Ragna owning face
This looks like one awesome game.
We need info. Console release?
Arcade only?
I've been waiting for decent fighting game online play for years, and when it finally comes out it's in Soul Calibur, one of my least favorite fighting series! I don't suppose this one will have online... it's probably on PS2, right?
.....
Mind you this was during #Reload when he was still awesome.
What?
This is HD my friend. HD.
*ducks*
Also, Arakune looks to be an awesome mix of Faust, Eddie and Zappa.
what platform is it for
and
does it have online
Question is, will it come out here?
:x
I generally like the character designs, but Iron Tagar and Alucard are both pretty off.
Seriously, Alucard?
I was confused with Alucard at first too...then I read it backwards. Consider my mind blown.
I'll be picking this up...probably playing as the Ky-esque guy(dude with the katana whose fighting the Sol-esque guy).
Not exactly original either.
Either way, Noel, Arukane and Taokaka will be mine.
lol - not at all. I love paper bag helms too
I like both of their designs, as well as Carl's.

Noel Vermilion Movelist
Command Normals
6W -- JCable, floats; because of the start-up and reach, it's a good anti-air kick, and depending on the circumstances, it can lead to air follow-ups
6M -- fast; must be blocked high; gatlings out of 5M; special cancellable into Fenrir
3S -- sliding shot; must be blocked low; low profile hitbox allows you to dodge various attacks

j.D -- shoots directly below; guard break
Any of the above 5 attacks will begin a special chain relay attack.
(Drive) Chain Revolver: Relay Attacks
1) Fio 2) Uru 3) Son 4) Ansu (I think this is how the naming system for her relay attacks works, but I could be wrong)
W -- chain relay "filler"

6M -- heel drop; one-shot attack that comes out fast; must be blocked high
S -- causes lots of pushback
6S -- multi-hit attack that must be blocked high and low; main use is for guard crushing
D, 6D, 2D, and 4D -- see above section
During chain revolver, up to 4 inputs can be input, but you cannot do the same input twice in a row. At any point during the relay chain, you can special cancel and end the relay chain. However, if you special cancel out of the relay chain, you cannot cancel into the Chain Revolver Finishing Attacks. (not 100% sure on the last sentence)
(Drive) Chain Revolver: Finishing Attacks
2nd Style - Bloom Trigger: 236D -- moves forward and is difficult to avoid blocking
5th Style - Assault Through: 214D -- moves forward a lot and attacks from behind; great counterattack if you can read your opponent

It's running 720p on the taito x2 board.
HD.
Also, reading through the SRK thread and apparently it's arcade-ready and basically finished. I didn't know that.
Some sweet gameplay footage.
Litchi vs Taokaka
Carl vs Ragna
Potemkim vs litchi
Interestingly, litchi seems to be BB's Bridget gameplay-wise, only with boobs.
Edit: I come bearing more videos.

Let me just say that Taokaka is fucking awesome.
And Noel's victory pose is the gun-fucking-kata.

Bang vs Arakune
You ask, and I deliver.
Is...is that strider? o_O
The animation, oh gawd, perfection!
On a side note, a lot of fictional vampires take on the nickname Alucard, and it's never their real name.
I have no audio. I forgive it it's not FUCKING METAL, as long as it's still cool. Since GG is finishing it's trip to the shithouse.
Fear not, the soundtrack is being done by Daisuke Ishiwatari (The Guilty Gear guy), so you can expect the music to be perfection.
I'm quite jazzed for this game. I really like Guilty Gear (Or at least, the series before moving to the 360 and becoming some sort of horrible 3D brawler with almost no characters).

So the question becomes - is there an arcade release? If so, what arcade hardware? If it's naomi/atomiswave like a few other Arc games it will assuredly have a PS2/Wii release as well.
But I dunno if Arc has moved past Naomi/Atomiswave yet.
