Recommended Posts

Only people who hate BlazBlue want Jubei to be playable, for he is one of the Four Horsemen of the (BB) Apocalypse . . .

yada, yada, yada . . . THE END HAS COME!!

Jubei will probably be the last last last character ever revealed for blazblue. I wonder why it is taking them so long...

Btw guys, I was wandering around in some news in another sites, and then I saw that CF US release was set to the Fall. Wasn't it in the Winter? If that's true, that placeholder date we saw earlier at Amazon MAY be true, or it will be close of the JP Release, like GG.

If I'm not mistaken, the latest official statement was indeed about the Fall release for NA. That's why people are so worried about there possibly being no dub on release.

...Yeah...this game is looking like an ero dating sim at this point.

Isn't all of the stuff that wasn't CP/E Japan exclusive though? (Not that anyone cares about outside of Japan. lol) For anyone who has only played the games, they'll still have to put in some work to have it not seem off. But, Mai may not end up with that large of a story role anyway.

The game itself made that joke back in CSE: http://imgur.com/SYVtKBZ

Yes, Mai's outfit is revealing, however it's still less revealing than that of say Makoto who was in the game since CSE. And let's not forget Mu, who only has a small metal plate covering her privates.

The Remix Heart manga has received English scanlations courtesy of Emma who posts on Dustloop, so it is possible to read it. But since CPE had Remix Heart Gaiden, anyone interested in learning the basics about Mai's backstory can get it from the game itself, just as the Six Heroes storyline introduced Celica and Nine for people who haven't read the Phase Shift novels.

Blah, that outfit. Least Izanami sort of had a reason to switch it up. 

My concern is her overall role in the story. What once was a mostly stand alone story in the BlazBlue world is gonna get arsed into the main plot because everything just HAS to be connected. 

Or maybe she'll be like Tao and just do her own thing, who knows. 

The oufit is kinda hilarious because you can see his/her as*** at the some angle

Yeah, this doesn't really change the Jubei situation one bit. ASW are just the masters of blue balls, is all. 

When Izanami and Nine were confirmed playable, nearly everyone was reporting on it. Think of the amounts of hype that would generate just by revealing him. 

Yeah,but at least something change a little for me thanks to the new emblem in console opening screenshoot.

The official Aksys website page on CF and the info on http://blazblueuniverse.com/bbcf/ show that the release for NA is still in the Winter, meaning that the exact release date has not been revealed yet or the Fall date on the trailer was an error.

P.S. Since it is kinda related to voice acting, try to post it there instead.

BB character want list.

1. Kazuma (Never gonna happen though besides it's been a while Kazuma clips)

2. Takehaya Susano'o/Kuro Susano'o Terumi

3. Humanoid Black Beast Ragna of some sort

4. ALPHA!

I've been wondering if Alpha is some sort of Ragna/Nu fusion since that ending in Calamity Trigger where Raggers goes Blood Sycthe deployed.

I'm confused with this statement, is Mai not a girl?

Nope, I heard that that Mai was once a Male person, but then turned Female, I dunno exactly how it happened, cause I read some stuff (can't remember much), but that's mostly how it happened.

Well, Mai is actually a girl now physically. Just like Ranma in Ranma 1/2 when he gets hit by cold water. 

Mai also became female on a mental level as well as the story went on and has also come to accept life as a female.

And on a soul-deep level, Mai is both genders at once according to Relius.

Did I hear right? MAI NATSUME is getting in the roster?

 

Alright, that is an interesting choice! And damn it, quit throwing in waifus, Mori! XD

 

Hope to see some gameplay of her soon. Knowing good ol ASW, we'll get something neat from her!

Relius said that her soul was both male and female halfway through the Remix Heart manga, before Mai accepted her new form and started self-identifying as a girl. Plus, Relius was curious how her soul would develop over time so I wouldn't be surprised if Mai's soul has turned fully female by the time of Variable Heart and the games.

They're not exactly the same. Ranma turns physically female for short periods but is still mentally male. By the time of the games Mai has been both physically and mentally fully female for years and she acts the part. She just has memories of having once been a boy.

LOL thanks that explanation makes me feel less bad for the initial tendency 2D fighter waifu crush. So basically we can just accept her as the hotty that she is. Good.

Y'know, is kinda predictable what Amane AF will do on her, right? I mean, for those who don't know, she was a man before, so... yeah.

My guess is that Mai will turn into the child version that was shown in a manga flashback: http://imgur.com/670fsec

If she wanted to turn back into a man, search for Amane, his Astral Finish makes miracles.

P.S.: Don't complain later if you make part of his troupe later.

The numbers are only increasing. Kokonoe just has so much to complain about now. :v:

It's easy to just give a female character ridiculous boobs and skin-tight/no clothing and just call it a success. But, that's boring. That's what everyone does. Give me a reason to like a female character design that has nothing to do with how high the percentage chance of her falling out of her top is. lol

That said, Mai is disappointing for more reasons than just plot.   don't expect her to be a good addition to the roster; she'll probably be similar to Es in that she's standard melee mid-range character with some slight twist, which is boring.  I liked Blazblue because of CT and CS where all of the characters played uniquely, and I double she'll do anything special.  Aside from that, she has some heavy porn connotations, which is a bit gross.

E's is looking pretty far from a standard character based on what we've seen. She has a projectile and an invincible move, but her drive is very non-standard, her mix-up between Gawain and the DDT looks to be very different and (probably) fun, and she has two different install mechanics. Her drive alone would move her outside of the standard category IMO.

I know pessimism sort of gets ingrained in you as a fighting game player, but you have to wait for the right time to uncork that bottle.

I hate it.

Mai is the most obvious obscure fetish fuel bait so far in the game.

What's next? a Vore inspired character? Oh wait, Arakune is already in the game.
