A pretty sweet collection of nearly 50 Sega Genesis games for 19.98.
So I'm wandering youtube looking to study some Ragna matches and combo vids when I stumble across an amusing little video.
One of the characters in BlazBlue that I love is Taokaka, the cute and twisted possible offspring of Felicia from Darkstalkers and Wolverine. If you play the game I believe you'll catch yourself chuckling a bit at her antics in story mode. Even her theme brings a smile, while the rest of the soundtrack is metal-ish, hers is upbeat cartoony stuff. The person who made this video mixed some of her voice clips to assemble the theme, the result is interesting.
Madcatz, the company that brought you the SFIV fightsticks and responsible for the spike in joystick prices all over the place, will apparently keep on making joysticks as long as money is printed to use on said devices. A post on Shoryuken recently revealed a new fightstick, one for xbox360 and one for ps3 up for preorder at Playasia, fightpads as well. These sticks and pads will be generic, no Street Fighter logo or cast members emblazoned on top so they could keep that sweet sweet joystick cash from capcom. Perhaps they already figure the art will be replaced so why bother? Seems that they won't be bothering with a non-sf4 standard fightstick, but there seem to bel plenty of sf4 se's to go around already. These will be popping up around the fourth quarter.
It seems to have become a scientific fact that if there is a character constructed with polygons on a pc game someone out there will use a program to crack the game open so they can play dress up or at least paint a nipple somewhere. With street fighter 4 now on the pc, the first wave of user created outfit mods have popped up.

Knowledge is power so I grant unto thee moves for all the characters of blazblue and helpful links. Like any game all it takes to compete is time and practice.
By showing off every characters Astral Finish of course! Astral finishers are similar to the Destruction moves of Guilty Gear ie fatalities. The opponent has to have a small amount of health left, you need a full guage, and the testicular fortitude to witness some of the coolest moves ever seen(well, except for Arakune and Carl's, why da weak finishes, Arc?).
Astral finishes weren't available to every character in the arcade version, in arcades only Ragna, Rachel, and v-13 had astral finishes. I suppose that was story related with their being super-beings or something. In the console version the astral finishes for each character must be unlocked through playing the arcade mode.
Speaking of unlockables, one interesting bit is "Teach me, Miss Litchi!". Taking a break from fighting, Litchi and the rest of the cast teaches Taokaka about the world of BlazBlue. It gives a little insight to the story of the game along with humor, other game references, and a bit of 4th wall breaking. Here's one I found funny which includes Tager and his creator Kokonoe who is like a bitchier Washu
