New Blazblue game! "Chrono Phantasma"

[Phragonist]

I've never played any of the blazblue series. Can someone describe the gameplay to me? Compare it to other fighters? This could be incredibly wrong, but it looks similar to the fighting from MVC2 (2 not 3), without the teams. Based solely on that video

How is this series still alive? Jesus, just go back to developing Guilty Gear or whatever.

Persona 4 Arena is coming out tomorrow. the gameplay is gonna be very similar to that i believe. otherwise Guilty Gear is kinda close but not really too much cause there are a lot of mechanics that make it a totally different game. MvC3 is a kinda the same but i believe BB is more complex with it's combos. Arc System has a lot of games but somehow all of them are different from blazblue :P

so yeah that Persona fighting game is the closes I've seen to BB out of many others.

I would say it's like Guilty Gear, but even then it's not 100% accurate. It is over-the-top and combo heavy, but not to MvC's extent. What really sets BB apart is its Drive system where everyone has a one-of-a-kind mechanic only they can use. For example Ragna has Soul Eater which allows him to drain health, complimenting his rushdown style. Jin has Frost Bite which freezes people, Tager has Voltech Battler that magnetizes his opponents and allows him to draw them in for his throws, and Valkenhayn can turn into a wolf which gives him to radically different play options. CP is giving a LARGE revamp to the mechanics so the meta-game is probably going to change drastically.

I only played CT, do you guys think it'll still be worth to buy CS/CS2? Disclaimer: i am actually interested in the story mode and that shit.

Btw what are the differences between CS and CS2?
