Blazblue Calamity Trigger

Translation of the background story...
"AD2200/Jan

A few days have passed since the reported raid by "Ragna the Bloodedge", the SS rank NOL rebel with the highest bounty in history, alias "Grim Reaper". The 13th Hierarchical City "Kagutsuchi" forgets to celebrate New Years, as his alleged involvement in the "Mysterious Bombing" and "Huge Pentacle Sightings" becomes the talk of the town.

With the Novus Orbis Librarium offering no official explanation, the citizens voice their own theories, exaggerating and spreading rumors like wildfire. The name "Ragna the Bloodedge" is engraved in the minds of the people.

Completely indifferent to the state of the city, the silver-haired Grim Reaper grips his massive sword and quietly bides his time—waiting for the chance to achieve his true objective.

And then, the enormous "power" that has ensnared the "Grim Reaper" begins to activate... "


Location testing shows that a lot of characters got nerfs across the board. Especially Arakune, Nu (Technically...it's not nu-13. She's gone and been 'replaced' by lambda-11), and Rachel. (Can you guess who the top three tier characters were)

Tsbuaki's move list.


Also, Tao apparently grew a couple chest sizes in the space of a couple days. Kaka's grow FAST

Hmm, brand new artwork and interfaces as well as the promise of advancing the storyline...I'm beginning to greatly doubt that this will be a mere DLC...

^On a stick!^
(Updated 5th Nov 2009: Awkward Encounter)

new stuffs!
Arksys is hinting that there's a third new character. It's possible they're just talking about Lambda-11, but there's a lot of speculating going on.

Screen Shots and artworks
Most of the stages are redrawn or have new effects going on. LINK
Hazama His drive is Ouruborous which lets him summon snake chains as projectiles or to swing across the screen.

However they release this where I am I want it.

Looks like Hazama's drive has a touch of Axl Low in it, nice.
