BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger

I saw this game today in person and I wanted to share it with you guys. Normally when I see anime fighting games I tend to turn my head and move on. Its not because I hate anime games but I grew up in the golden age of NEO GEO. I've been there and done that a million times over. However when I first laid eyes on BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger my jaw dropped. The animation was beautiful and the backgrounds are pure art. Any screen I post will do this game no justice but the good news is you can already pick it up on a console. The better news is its now coming for the PC! Time to warm up joy stick (pun intended).

Already played this some time ago. It is almost just like Guilty Gear, but that is kinda obvious.

This would be a "successor" of sorts for my Guilty Gear XX - The Midnight Carnival - Reloaded.

This game's art is good. It's by the people who did guilty gear's art, but the game itself is terrible. DO NOT BUY it is fundamentally broken.

Ok i got the game up and running and with my new pad...
Being a windows live game and an ilegit copy, im not sure it saves correctly untill i do some progress, being a direct xbox port you have to configure you keyboard/pad accordingly, if you are a regular to these games it wont be much of a problem...
Animations quite good, fast and fluid, im sure it runs on any average system...
Ill have to spend some time (lots of it) if i want to be any good @ it (i was pretty strong in guilty gear)...

Just got this, actually a good looking game, can't beat Hakumen in Ragna's story though (I've already tried twice), and we're both basically at 1-hit HP left lol

There's already a default configuration for the keyboard, it's A-S-D-F for the buttons and then Q-W-E-R for the other buttons. Of course the joystick directions can also be assigned to other keys, while the default directional buttons are obviously with the up-left-right-down arrows.
