I ordered it from amazon.com. I was expecting to get it when I reserved Blazblue, but strangely the gamestop where i pre-ordered it didn't get the artbook. So after waiting for a couple months, I figured if they weren't distributed with the artbook now, then probably never at this point. So, I just ordered it.

if anyone has seen the gameplay video's of hazama on Continuum Shift, is it just me or does his secondary color (white) remind you of Michael Jackson in Moonwalker?

[Endrea]

I haven't seen that yet, haven't seen much for the new game actually.

[FormerlyUnknown]

there are a few links on dustloop for some gameplay and that's where I spotted him.

I am so going to cosplay as Hazama eventually >w< maybe before I do arakune, since it looks a LOT easier =3

I'm watchinga different video with Lambda-11. What's the point of taking out Nu if Lambda does almost the same crap? They pretty much just gave Nu a different name because I'm watching and it pretty much looks all the same. I figured since Nu was the perfect one that Lambda would atleast look a little different and do different things.

It seems to be a combination of 'she was way too overpowered/broken' and story reasons- in other words, changing Nu to Lamba is an IC excuse to nerf her gameplay-wise. If she's Lambda-11, after all, she'd be an earlier, weaker Saya-clone (in fact she was specifically mentioned by name in CT storymode, I believe, as a 'failed attempt' at a contact medium by Sector Seven, whereas Nu was a successful one).

I know some of her attacks are different and she moves a little slower. The least they could have done is not make her look like Nu. I know there were failed ones as Nu was the one that actually was succussful. This is so wierd, I don't play alot but I'm not liking the changes.

Guess they didn't wanna redraw all the sprites :x I guess I can't blame them, they already had to do Tsubaki and Hazama's, new moves and extra frames for other characters, plus redoing actual gameplay systems and rebalancing...

[Endrea]

So, might as well not be lazy if they already did all that. XD It's suppose to be a different character not just a copy (okay hush about the clone thing) point is their suppose to be different people. Idk It's turning out more like GG (not that's a problem I suppose)

Well I'm stuck with a choice, spend my b-day money getting my 360 fixed and selling it so I can start save up for my ps3 or buy my wonderflex to start making the armor. =/

It seems to me, anyway, that they're REALLY rushing to get this game out as soon as they can- so that might have something to do with it...

Ha, I have the exact opposite issue- I want to get a 360 but cosplay and cons come first for me and keep putting a dent in that plan XD;

[Endrea]

It might wish they wouldn't do silly things like that though.

I think I'm going to get it fixed then put it up for sell. I barely used it and I turn it on one day and it's ROD... rawr.

See, that's the reason I haven't gotten a 360 yet. I just can't rationalize investing so much in something that may (and likely will) die on me unexpectedly for no reason at any time- I've had my PS2 slim for a number of years and it has traveled in suitcases and shipping boxes of all sorts and it still works like a charm.

[Endrea]

lol, I still have my ps2 slim. I have a repair shop near by that is willing to fix it for free if under 3 years, but he's 4 so I get s discount for repairs for knowing the person. ^^

I never wanted a 360.
