at least ragnu might be vaguely related to the actual plot and have some sort of impact on something, unlike the entire bullet/azrael/tager subplot from cp

I guess, but what is related to the plot at this point? At least that subplot had Azrael who is the best BB character in a long time.

wait, when was that image published? because i saw fanart of ragna with that design on pixiv in like early 2013 im pretty sure

did blazblue rip off a pixiv artist

That design is from a 2013 ASW compilation artbook, one of Mori's old designs. The name (Alpha) wasn't known until he made it a banner. Given how hard they were pressing Nu near the end of BBCP with all the cauldron mess that sort of final boss/Izanami finishing attack wouldn't surprise me at this point.

Remix Heart is horrible but I'd be okay having Mai be playable just for an anime version of Rogue.

I main Bullet/Tager and want them to be relevant but ASW likes to supply plot relevance to complement tier lists it would seem, lol.

I saw some deviantart image where with Mai looking like some Clint Eastwood-esque Cowboy Gunslinger and I was really hoping it was real because that would be amazing.

Oh wait until you hear about what Ragna actually looks like at the end of CP.

I dunno man, there's something great about Ragna jumping from losing limbs to just losing his entire body. Keep on getting shat on, you crazy only-decent-person-in-the-entire-game.

I'm just waiting for Jin to get his own magical girl transformation.

i think i'd like the blazblue story a lot more if my main wasn't literally the dumbest character in the entire plot it's litchi

agree on new gg chars, leo owns. elphelt owns just because of guns n' roses and her bonjovi IK. bedman kind of owns.

edit: that part in bbcs where hakumen cuts through time basically just to see if he still could was hilarious

PSN is having a huge sale on pretty much all the fighting games this weekend for those who care and have a PS3. You can get GGXrd or JoJo's Allstar Battle for $20 and other games for even cheaper.

Rival Schools and Project Justice are pretty anime. The first game's create-a-fighter mode is a dating sim.

You just made me really sad because I forgot these games existed and now I remember that I'll never get to play them again. Also, never gonna have a sequel.

Apparently Under Night is getting a UK release, anyone know if it's actually worth playing? The description from the OP of it being closer to something like Street Fighter makes it sound appealing.

If you've played Melty Blood its more like that but if everyone except for like 2 cast members had arms half the length of the screen (or more!). It is not SF at all.

I don't like it that much personally, but to French Bread's credit its at least improved over its single revision so far.

I used to play Project Justice on my Dreamcast a lot. Other games that took up too much of my misspent youth:

It is hard to get more anime than a game where you fly around shooting psychic powers at each other. It's actually really fun and cool once you get over it not being like Street Fighter.

Unless you are a giant robot fighting game with a story mode that is trying to be as anime as possible.

Arcana is a really solid and fun fighter, and I hope the update gets brought over here ASAP.

Also, the Shin Koihime Musou fighter really should be in the OP. It's extremely footsies-based (probably more than anything else in the OP), with the occasional flashy fatal combo.
