A or B?
Also, does anyone know what's going on with the Central Fiction launch tournament? Is it going to be streamed? Who's attending?
>>316604949
B, makes more sense to me to have the drive button "isolated" from the rest
Central Fiction prelaunch tournament will be streamed on Nico. Don't know who's playing
>>316605287
Same. Left-to-right, then top-to-bottom is more natural to me.
I've never seen a BB arcade machine though. Are the buttons more splayed out? In any layout I've ever seen, in type A, A would be directly below B.
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s660/sh/59da1e74-6315-487f-a371-de9a1a98d538/d409386b8d969f2f49a1eaf90489f5eb
B has always been my go-to layout. It feels much much better.
Does there really need to be 2 BB threads?
Fuck you waifufags
>>316605609
>Are the buttons more splayed out?
not really I think
>>316605287

BB is on Nesica cabs, which are shared for multiple games, that's probably why
>>316605958
The other one was started with a shitpost. This one should stay.
>>316607937
Oh, makes sense. I guess everything is running on the same hardware anyway.
I guess I'm in the mindset of good old specialized American arcade machines that were stupid expensive and made no many.
Thanks for the matches Lewd. I'd rather play Hakumen than Celica, but it seems like I'm just better as a Celica player. I'll work on some BnB's eventually.
Enough spaces for 40 characters total.
>>316608826
Corner ones and top one are sketch, but I'd like to be a perfect hexagon in the end.
I'm just glad that they've clearly designed it to accomodate more characters starting with CP, and we don't have the ugliness of CS's irregular character icons all over the fucking place.
>>316608826
plenty of room for Kajun
>>316609756
Weird way to spell Taro
>>316609756
>Kajun Faggot
>>316608826
Toya

Kajun
Jubei
Nine
Izanami
Izanagi (Ragna's 2nd form)
>>316610172
Izanagi No Ookami
>>316608826
10 characters?
Nine's a given but what about the other 9?
The only characters left are Mai,Kajun,Shiori,Taro,Akami, Jubei,Trinity, Izanami, Saya, Amaterasu and Alpha 1.
Izanami's so beyond everyone I doubt we'll ever her true form or actually fight her.
Jubei's small and his fighting pose looks even smaller.
Mai,Kajun,Shiori,Taro and Akame are all completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
Saya, is a prisoneer in her own body
Trinity is dead.
Maybe we'll get new characters because it just can't be any of these besides Alpha 1
>>316610435
You dismiss everyone else and settle on Alpha, the "character" that doesn't even exist? What?
>>316610435
>all completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things
that didn't stop Bullet or Azrael
>>316610620
If anything, Mai, Kajun and Taro are more relevant than Bullet or Amane. They all know and are connected with much of the main cast, while Bullet was only linked to Tager's backstory and Amane was simply searching for a new catamite.
>>316610529
Because mori keeps cocking teasing her, for gods sake his last update on her had him writing out evil laughter.
>>316610620
Thing is, that this is the climax Why would any of the remix heart characters be in Kagutsuchi, none of them were implied to be special, nor did any of them have any azure powers and the world's been turning into seithr they're all likely dead by now. Amaterasu's little reset obviously did not get rid of the embryo nor did it completely wipe the memories of everyone in Chronophantasma
Celica still exists
Noel still has her non-NOL clothing and her murakumo powers
Azrael remembers everything
Terumi remembers everything
Relius remembers everything
Tsubaki completely wields Izayoi with no ill effects now
Rachel is completely weakened
>>316610529
Alpha got a lot of cockteasing though.
And I want her to tease my cock.
>>316611024
Wait. You seriously think that Mori is going to just kill off a bunch of characters off-screen for no reason? And it would be trivial for Mori to come up with an excuse to introduce those characters in the story if he wanted to, especially since they all know many of the existing characters and it would make sense for them to come in and help them. And we can expect him to introduce more characters, since each release will be increasing the size of the roster.
Funny you should talk about the Azure though; Mai had absorbed a fragment of the Azure and, though it got removed from her eventually, it served to empower her grimoire.
>>316611024
>none of them were implied to be special, nor did any of them have any azure powers
true, but we know Mori loves pulling dumb unexplained plot twists straight out of his ass
he could easily make up some shit like Mai's family holding a secret to deal with Amaterasu, or say that Kajun was absent until now researching some stupid secret weapon that will be important now
>>316611327
lew
dead spike
>>316611024
I feel like they're doing this CT do-over just to have a bunch of characters inserted into the story where they probably should've been from the beginning.
Or maybe as a way to give relevancy to nothing characters like Bullet.
I sure hope Ragna finds a friendly face. I mean, I thought he'd be edge incarnate and a jerk but he turned out to be so nice, and kind and kind of warm.
>>316613649
He deserves to be happy

What's wrong with liking cute girls anon? Maybe Azrael is more to your liking?
>>316608826
As long as they don't add more trash from the VNs and spin offs
>>316615784
Nu is cute! Cute!
Also top-tier! Top-tier!
>>316616631
What do you want added then? Completely new characters with zero backstory who have absolutely no relation to the existing cast?
This thread sucks. Can we just talk about Platinum?
>>316615827
The pizza delivery man
They are sneering because he asked for a tip
>>316616870
Wouldn't mind that as long as their designs are nowhere near as Deviantart as the ones from those spin offs
>>316616870
I honestly prefer that to the spinoff characters so far.
>>316616026
I want her to have a happy ending, Instead of the sheer pure misery that is her current existence and role.
>>316617027
Have you seen the designs of the main cast?
>>316616984
what's your favorite thing about platinum
>>316616984
>>316617115
>>316617115
Butt, of course!
>>316616870
>Completely new characters with zero backstory
That sounds amazing, plot is already pretty convoluted and adding a few new faces that don't require reading unrelated material to know who they are sounds better.
>>316617238
The spinoff characters introduced in CP didn't require you to read unrelated material.
>>316617089
Yeah, and they look much better than those faggots, specially the first characters since they dropped the ball with Terumi, Amane, Azrael and the two newfags. Tsubaki is also a bit potato.
>>316616984
But that'd make it worse
>>316617115
>>316617236
>>316617236
cute
>>316617415
Honestly now, which spinoff characters do you think look worse than the main cast?
>>316617484
>>316615884
>>316615948
Both are good answers but the real answer isMori
>There are people who actually like that X-blaze turd
>>316617494
Most of them. If they don't look like shit straight out of the most generic LNs then they look extremely derivative from the main cast.
>>316617072
but her current misery is entirely her fault for fucking up
>>316617802
I see you are dodging the question.
>>316617893
Do you expect to name every single one of them or what?

>>316618392
ono-san
>>316618064
Even disregarding the characters you already mentioned (Terumi, Amane and Azrael), are you seriously saying that the spinoff characters look worse than Litchi with her unbuttoned shirt showing off her tits and bra, Makoto with her outfit that shouldn't be able to keep her tits from popping out if she moved, Mu who's almost naked and has a crotchplate, Bang with his bizzare outfit that covers his arms and legs but leaves his body uncovered?
Because I'm really not seeing it.
>>316617869
Not really, she is programmed to be the way she is, she can't hep it that The big bads are always controlling her, filling her with hopelessness. What reason does she have to think that anything nice will ever happen to her?
>>316617869
How so? She doesn't have any agency unless she's around Ragna. She was created, tortured for experiments, and then forced to do the terrible bidding of evil jerks.

from nu
man, I hope Azrael's arcade has him facing off against Izanami or Nine. Even if it's just completely irreverent seeing that monster go up against another monster is much more entertaining than him pummeling everyone else. I wonder if 100 percent Hakumen could take him.
>>316617115
She's a bitch with fat butt.
>no dub VA announcers.
>>316615827
Ewwww. Why would you have a pile of shit in a picture of Noel? Do you have a scat fetish?

100% Hakument would beat the shit out of anyone in the current roster
>>316623356
BB has the weirdest in-universe power levels.
>>316622414
I doubt it. He doesn't even know they exist. As far as he knows, Izanami's just the Imperator and Nine's dead. And neither of them would have any interest in him either.
He might end up fighting Hakumen, though. We know he's definitely gonna fight Ragna.
>>316622829
What makes you think that?
>>316624756
He looks tailor made for JYB.
>>316622829
But he's voicing Yu
>>316622890
not unlimited sol
>>316622479
>>316622829
I've heard JYB a million times but I can never remember what his voice sounds like.
So yes, generic high school LN protag is a perfect role.

>>316629235
I think I see what you did there
enough Plat
let's talk about GAMEPLAY
which characters are good for newfags?
i prefercute
>>316629474
I missed CS. Did Makoto make more sense when she did tons of damage? Right now she just feels like a strictly worse Ragna.
>>316629474
How do I get good against Tager when using.
>>316629593
Celica!!!
>>316629317
You're lying to yourself
>>316629474
I want makoto to be buffed hard in CF
>>316629593
Izayoi
>>316629474
Okay. I have a conundrum. I want to get better with Hakumen, but I'm just not feeling like it's happening. I do much better with Celica, but I also feel like she's holding my skill level back. What do?
>>316629798
Ok maybe I am.
But what about now? Now you love her right?
>>316629798
>Izayoi
Fuck off Mori.
>>316629718
Poke with the snake every now and then fly in to do combos
>>316629839
Then try to become the best celica you can be
>>316629593
Celica, Bullet, Lambda and Noel are cute and easy to play
>>316629703
yeah she's not that interesting at all right now. Too much work for little reward
>>316629593
Celica, Bullet, Noel, Jin, Ragna
>>316629703
She made no sense because she was broken as fuck. She deserves everything she's gotten, and it should continue into CF.
>>316630197
>>316630203
>>316629734
He asked for cute, not sluts. Dummies.
>>316629593
Only one proper answer.
>>316630360
This
>>316630000
No, I'll never love or like her.
>>316630237
She doesn't need to be broken but she should at least get buffed into being decent
>>316630360
>>316630530
Wrong
>>316630360
Her RNG is not suited for a newbie though.
>>316630767
Makoto deserves nothing but suffering. Stop memeing.
>>316630767
Are you sure on both of those?
>>316630237
No bully Makoto. She should do more damage.
>>316630996
Why though?
>>316631048
Positive
When Terumi attacked Platinum, did he slice her open letting her innards spill out or just cut her with a magic blade or what?
>>316631248
He did it with the good ol butterfly knife
>>316631235
Well, ok then I guess.
>>316631248
Like this
>>316631127

>>316630132

Finally
why is the wheel of fate turning?

>>316632892
Sir,Yes sir. Reporting for duty.
>>316632824
His face is white idiot
>>316633196
Well I guess my room is blue because it has a blue square on one of the walls.
>Tkl when Naoto bests Terumi and Hazama in combat where Ragna will get his ass kicked.
>>316632705
What abou the Black Knight?
>>316633372
How do you figure? Did you forget that Hazama has a BlazBlue?
>>316633372
As long as Ragna is likeable, I don't mind if he kind of sucks. That's even a charm point.
>>316633615
Naoto's from another world, Terumi never interacted with him once, nor can he feed off his hatred for him and on top of that he's got vampire powers and now that Rachel is severely weakened he's more or less up there in terms of power compared to the cast. He even seemed fine battling with Nu who had cracks on her in that cgi. Nobody has been able to fuck Nu up like that so far besides Hakumen or Jin.
>>316632824
>the only "black" character
>is a dirty black blob, associated with bugs and cursing people
you're not helping, anon
Did Noellers or Tsubaki get buffed in CF?
>>316633984
Ragna's got one on the board against Nu. Granted that's after literally countless losses, but hey, it's progress.
>>316632892
Bullet is delicious brown.
>>316633984
>Nobody has been able to fuck Nu up like that so far besides Hakumen or Jin
doe Lambda's arcade mode count?
>>316633984
Ragna beat Nu without using his BlazBlue. What's your point?
And, again, you forget that Hazama has a BlazBlue. That, on its own, makes him one of the stronger characters in the cast.
>>316634060
i don't know about Noel, but I've heard Tsubaki is buffed
>>316634173
Please don't remind me of that. Nu sounds way more scary using Noel's voice now rather than her usual insane mannerisms.
Type BAnd thanks to playing BB alot I actually changed my Tekken layout to Type B which everyone thinks is really strange.
![Linhua_%28Story_Mode_Artwork%2C_Normal%29[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/vbfVhli.png "Linhua_%28Story_Mode_Artwork%2C_Normal%29[1].png")
Playable when?
>>316634528
She can't even hurt Tager. The majority of the cast can beat the shit out Tager and she can't do even that.
>>316634528
After Litchi dies
Litchi kill fucking when? She's so damn shit.
From what's shown in the novels, Naoto can access a bit of the Black Beast's power somehow, similar to Toya.
lobby when you fucks
>>316634528
I always thought no one other than me wanted this
>>316634746
There was one up don't know if it still is though
The black beast..the world's nightmare.
>>316634710
What? How?
That's so weird when they established that you can just make Black Beasts and that the one Black Beast is Ragna.
>>316634710
of course.
>>316635284
He can hear Ragna's voice in his head. And the Ragna in his head can somehow lend Naoto some of his power. This allows Naoto to summon a mass of seithr. He lends strength to Naoto when he has need of it.
>>316635381
DAAA-RATATATA-TA-TA-TATATAAAA
>>316635454
That sounds really goofy.
>>316635454
gary stu confirmed
just what the series needed
>>316635597
Toya never heard Ragna's voice, but he could still draw from the Black Beast's power through the Original Grimoire.
In any case, both Toya and Naoto are connected to Ragna in some way. And supposedly, so's Sechs.
Hakumen vs Terumi was pretty hype. I just wish we could of seen Hakumen's demon hunt move but Arakune ran the fuck away when he was about to use it on him.
>>316635730
What does Ragna say? Exclaim confusion and tell him to pick fights? The idea that Ragna has some sort of idea about his importance to the universe feels so wrong to me.
>>316635381
Is there any point to extending the hilt like that before he sheathes it?
>>316635845
>Hakumen vs Terumi was pretty hype.
That shit was pretty lame due to the fact there was no animated cutscene for it. Terumi dying of all things didn't get a cutscene but some weak shit like jin and hakumen cutting a pillar got one.
>>316636045
No. There's a part where Naoto has to make a choice about killing his own sister. And then the voice in Naoto's head goes
>"Are you really going to kill your own sibling?"
Later, when Naoto's about to get killed, a shadowy figure appears in Naoto's mind and touches his fist to Naoto's chest. And then suddenly Naoto is able to summon bits of seithr. In these situations, Naoto tends to talk a lot like Ragna does in battle, like saying "BE DEVOURED BY DARKNESS!" and whatnot.
>>316636045
>"I'm just like you! God only knows whose soul's this actually is! But it doesn't matter. I'm a person, A human being!"
>>316636047
Good eyes,anon. Yes. Ragna has a button to extend it into a battle state and a regular state. When he hits it at the start he's loosening up the blade so it can detach and the scythe can come out when he wants.
>>316636067
There were lots of scenes in there I felt like needed to be animated. Noel,Ragna and Jin challenging Izanami, Hakumen vs Terumi's climax, The decent of Takemikazuki and the scene where Noel gets her azure power under control.
>>316636260
That sounds so stupid. Do you like the BE novels?
Hazama vs Terumi when?

Also, Kazuma, the body Terumi needed before Hazama started having nightmares of fighting a man in red jacket an white hair atop a building while screaming "Hate me, Hate me, Hate me, Hate me, Hate me! Ahahahahaha!" while the man in red said things like. "You bastard, I'll never forgive you!"
Now considering Kazuma vamoos'd before he ever got the chance to combat Ragna how the hell could he have memories of continnum shit?
Also in the short story involving Noel she'd keep having dreams of playing with a boy she didn't know and sometimes she'd randomly here a voice say "You....are...not..me" You get to see it detail in the calamity trigger revision where she flashes back to a saya memory of Ragna taking care of her. She'd also be crying in her sleep for various reasons and no reason at all, something Tsubaki and Makoto noted when they first met her in the short story from Continuum Shift 2.

I found them a bit boring to be honest, but it's not like I hate them.
My theory is whatever connection Naoto has to Ragna was actually inherited from Toya.
Toya was also the previous user of the Drive Bloodedge.
The timing for Celica's challenge 11 is so inconsistent. Pretty much every hit in this is wildly different every time. Sometimes he instantly recovers after 2A, sometimes he flies too high for 6B to catch, sometimes he's too high for 3C to connect. Anyone manage to finish all of Celica's challenges?

I'm just gonna assume having the drive bloodedge links you to Ragna and call it day.
>>316637606
And it looks like all I needed was a rant here. Thanks guys. I should do this more often.

The universe will do anything to make you look silly, including letting you succeed. Good work, keep it up!
Ragna and Noel are the hero and heroine of this game,right? Thinking of getting invested but just how much do the two matter in the grand scheme of things?
>>316638753
Ragna's at the center of everything and Noel's the Successor of the Azure.
Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift basically revolves around those two. Chronophantasma was a bit of a detour, though.
>>316638340
I'll keep trying.
>>316638753
Noel is old and busted, Celica is the new hotness.
>>316639380
Why do you say these hurtful things?
>>316639380
But Ragna and Noel are loversin a gag reel.
>>316639380
Celica isn't intelligent enough for Ragna.
>>316638894
>>316639563
So is Noel his girlfriend or something? There seems to be a lot of art of them paired up in this thread. If they aren't

Search your feelings, you know this to be true. Celica even got major buffs while Noel got nerfs in CF.
>>316634801
She is a much character than Hibiki though. Actually has personallity and decent characterization as opposed to just being an accessory.
Is Celica actually fun to play?

What do you think?

Learn what the term means. Pro-tip: It doesn't mean "character I dislike".
>>316640193
Eh, she has very few options to open up opponents. She has decent damage though and piss easy hit confirms. Her overdrive can be used to lame out a match if you're good at evading.
>>316640074
Noel isn't even a real human.
>>316637440
I thought Toya only has the original Grimoire. I never knew he has a Bloddedge.
