With less than a month until one of the finest looking arcade fighters hits consoles, a new trailer for Blazblue has been released. It shows off it's new animated cutscenes, which show two new characters (will they be playable or are they just characters mentioned in story mode?), I can't tell because I can't read japanese but I'm pretty sure they mention the online features, some character dialogue ala Guilty Gear story mode with a big surprise, (and perhaps one of the most random lines) an English dub option. Perhaps not something a lot of fans want (I always switch the voices to japanese in Maximum Impact 2 and SF4), but nice to know they included it for the people who do want it. To finish it off with a little flair, peeks of Litchi and Hakumen's Astral Finishers (fatality/destruction move/etc).



I just hope I'll be competent with a joystick by that time. I ordered a Mayflash arcade stick, hoping to have it in hand by now so I could adjust to it by the time BlazBlue came out and later King of Fighters XII. But alas, it never came so I have to go through amazon to get my money back from this seller. However I managed to snag a SFIV Fight Stick (SE) from amazon when they restocked recently, and I do mean amazon not some sleazy scalper so I should be getting it within a week. But I still have to wait and I'm starting to hate my ps3 dual shock, it's nowhere as dependable as Ol' Rattles (my trusty broken in original Dual Shock, got it along with Tekken 3 back in the day). I'll eventually mod it, I whipped this up in Paint.Net. Still need to work on the buttons, tell me what you think.



Or should I adapt this design I had originally planned for the Mayflash to the Fight Stick?



I suck at resizing pictures.
