Le thread BLAZBLUE: CONTINUUM SHIFT

Yes, that's the big question

I find it a bit of a shame really that not many people in Belgium play it. IMHO it's the best next gen fighting game and CS2 makes it even better.

Belgium was not "famous" for her Guilty players in the past and it's the same for BB ( they have nearly the same gaming system... )

is it too limited or too difficult to play? I don't know...

Personally I played the first BB for something like euh..2 weeks lol and it was soooo repetitive..( tested Jin, Ragna, Rachel Alucard ^^ and euh...the "ninja" guy with the long sword lol forgot his name...Hakumen? )

I personally don't think it is limited at all. Every character plays different from the rest. Original mechanics for some characters like Arakune's curse mode, Rachel's wind, Valkenhayn's ability to change in a wolf, ... Every character also has a lot of options to use. There are no clones like ryu, ken, akuma, etc...

As for difficulty: ok, there are more mechanics than for example SFIV, but it's not that difficult to learn really. (This version is a little different because you really need to learn barrier block here (just hold back + A + B), because many normals are now air unblockables (which can be barrier blocked)). You really have to stick with only a few characters though. Properly learning every character will be very hard to do.

What I think makes it not so popular in Belgium:
- no GG scene (most important reason ... in other countries, almost every BB player is also a GG player or has played it in the past, I didn't btw).

- Not been available for a long time, unless you imported.

- The difficulty. It may be a bit overwhelming to people who are only used to SF2 and SFIV (although you don't have to learn all options all at once). I think a lot of people may have bought the game, jumped online and got owned badly. I know I did when I first started out. The general level of play online on PSN is a LOT higher than SFIV and MK (atleast player matches). I know for the first times I played online, I kept losing and losing and losing. I seriously had a win / loss of like 1 win / 30 losses LOL. This with a high tier (but difficult to use) character (Rachel). I liked the gameplay system a 1000 times better than SFIV though, so I sticked with it. I'm still not among the best in Europe though, far from it

yeah Hakumen is the guy with the long sword


I really want to get a Belgian offline scene going for this game, but it will be difficult and I have no idea how to do it. If I lived in Brussels, it would be easier

At Brussels Max Damage 2.0, there were actually 2 guys that also played BB

ah ok! Brussels' players or?

I thought so yes. But both weren't from this forum. One guy was going to make an account and organise a BB meeting at the e.live arena, but he hasn't done it yet ...
