While not a full-fledged sequel to Calamity Trigger, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift’s incremental updates – three new playable characters, Tsubaki, μ-12 and Hazama – will make the new release that much more definitive for the serious fighting game follower. Aksys Games hasn’t nailed down a specific date yet for Guilty Gear maker Arc System Works arcade port, but it has laid out the new features, including new moves, new Tutorial and Beginner modes, and additional fresh trimmings.
It’s the perfect holdover for your next dose of 2D brawling, which will come whenever SNK Playmore gets The King of Fighters XIII out the door.
(Thanks, Zippi!)

This version of the game is much better than CT, with character balance and a lot of characters getting new moves.

Friday, March 26, 2010 at 3:22 PM@lcb: I think they where refering more to 2d animation now, when they say 2d
@Zan: Yeah balance made the good ones rubbish and weak ones great (except for poor tager).
So yeah if your favourite is racheal, it probably won’t be in CS (continuum shift) because she has almost beaten to death with the nerf stick.
