I still love this game. I have played every version of BlazBlue and I have always enjoyed this franchise. Since, day one of "Calamity Trigger" back on the Xbox 360 many years ago. It kept getting better and better. Good memories with this franchise and this version of the game is my favorite.
This game is awesome. I don't understand why they allow me to play as a boss character loli vampire zoner setplay character, with loopable on block unreactable mixups. And she can get out of any corner for free by literally flying from one corner to the other, has a sort of reversal, guardpoints, great anti-air, and seems to have a normal health bar. Rachel is absurdly fun. It definitely feels immoral to be styling on people like that. She feels like a feverish dream of a crazy OP character specifically designed for me to make people lose their minds. She has a living muscular cat umbrella that can transform into an electric chair to fry people, no one knows why. Peak design. You will never find a character like this anywhere else other than Touhou (Remilia and Yukari). George XIII must be protected, you will never find a more trustworthy friend than him in any game, other than Chrono Trigger. Every character in this game seems completely broken. I highly recommend this game if you enjoy committing war crimes, launching nuclear missiles unprompted, and distorting space, time or even wind to completely destroy any ounce of sanity left inside your opponent. Great game for both sadistic and masochistic players. Just look up "Izanami ribcage" (shield of dreams) if you need nightmares, she can also literally stop time by the way. I hope they don't balance this game when they add the new character.
This game is so much underrated. There are some people playing rank matches, but it's nothing compared to the bigger games. Still... I think this game is one of the best. If you like pixel 2d graphics, I don't think you can get better than this. The game rewards aggressive play much more than what some people might be used to, but playing footsies/neutral is fun. I mean, it's rollback, 95% no dlc ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and it's getting an update soon. That's a good bargain at this price.
