    I could care less how the PSP version turns out, but I do hope they start up Blazblue Radio again. Fucking exceptional show, though it does rely heavily on Sugita and Imai's smalltalk skills. #blazblue

    Why can't they release accent core with online play for psn/live instead?

    (Before anyone talks about license, heres Arc's's interview about it
    [ps3.ign.com]

    ""We don't have any issue with [licence holder] SEGA." Kidooka assures us, "This year and next year we want to focus on BlazBlue – this is our mission, and we'll maintain Guilty Gear while we're doing that, so we're not abandoning it. Being a small company – less than 100 – and with the arcade market being quite small, it's not feasible to do two games at once.") #blazblue

    Hopefully they've adjusted the input of the special moves then, they'd be a bitch to do on the PSP's D-pad. Maybe map specials to the thumbstick? #blazblue

    @excel_excel: I've played BlazBlue through Remote Play on my fat PSP before and it wasn't that bad. It's not perfect of course, and it makes competitive play kind of hard.

    Then again, I can't say I've played a vs fighting game on the PSP that controlled well.

    I'm curious about the PSPGo, is the Dpad better than the phats / slims? #blazblue

    I'm still disappointed the characters aren't being released as DLC.

    Disappointed to the point I don't think I'm going to buy another Arc System Works game until they realize that it's 2009.

    On the other hand, I'm even more disappointed in the people who are going to support their ancient distribution model by throwing out another $60 for a few characters when they know that there's going to be yet another version in a few months.

    I bought Blazblue thinking that since there's HD visuals and network play that they would utilize the rest of the standards for current-gen games. Sadly, I was wrong.

    Or maybe I'll just wait for Blazublue: Continuum Shift Turbo HD Remix Infinity Reloaded Thisisthelastonewemeanit Ultimate Tournamant Final Edition XX+ #blazbluecontinuumshift

    I can't wait for this. Blazblue was the best fighting game of the year in my opinion and can only improve as they expand the roster and tweak movesets. Hopefully this will come out in the U.S. before the end of 2010.

    @Kapwan: Good point. I thought that from a gameplay standpoint, KoF XII was pretty great, but it sort of died in the presentation department, despite the beautiful sprites. Weakest Dream Match ever. I think KoF XIII has quite a bit of potential though!

    @zerokoolpsx: What would you demand from a BB 2? Continued story? Improved sprites with more frames of animation? New movesets? Rebalanced gameplay? System refinements? New characters? Continuum Shift has all that (and probably more), stop complaining.
    That said though, I was hoping for playable Kokonoe... #blazbluecontinuumshift

    @TheCleaningGuy: I 100% agree with you! I did however enjoy the first one but no way in hell after the shitty port on the second game made me want to even consider getting the 3rd one if they ever made it.

    @Kapwan: I was excited for KoF XII but after seeing the weak character roster and broken online play made me glad that I rented it first.
    BlazBlue however I bought right away and I just love how the online fighting actually WORKS and there's barely any slowdown even if you have a weak connection. I'll use BB as a benchmark for all other online fighters from now on.
    I didn't think SFIV online wasn't that great (connection wise) but it was better than Tekken 5 DR online though by far. So is Marvel vs Capcom 2 netplay smooth or is it using the crappy netcoding that's on SF turbo HD remix? #blazbluecontinuumshift

    If any of you looked over this game when it was released and you like 2D fighters, or just fighting games in general, you are really doing yourself a disservice by not knabbing this title. It is an absolutely brilliant fighter. And unless Tekken is marvelous (which I assume it will be) you can consider Blazblue the best fighter this year. More deep than SFIV, it completely takes the mediocre KOF to school.

    This game is extremely fun albiet difficult to learn sometimes and nearly impossible to master. Hell, I can't even compete online with some of the hardcore players. But altogether it is an extremely well put together package with great features and game modes. I look foward to the update. #blazbluecontinuumshift
