The significance to Phase Shift art showing up in the Trinity trailer

In the Trinity trailer, the only art that isn't from Central Fiction are these 5 images from the light novel series, which covers the events of the Dark War.

Could this be a hint to what a future game might focus on? Am I coping too hard?

>!It would give them an excuse to use Ragna without messing with Central Fiction's ending, after all...!<

Reminder that Platinum can materialize a body for Trinity

From Central Fiction Story Mode Chapter 64's substory

If you're wondering how she's gonna be able to fight since she's usually a ghost, this is probably how.

This also happens in Act 3 of Platinum's Arcade.

Bros think they're part of the team

They should make a new version of this opening where the only difference is Trinity being there instead of Platinum

Family-friendly Mu palette pack

Download Link

For playing Mu without someone walking in and giving you a weird look.

You will need the Improvement Mod for this. Drop dinput8.dll into the BBCF folder, run the game once, drop the cfpl file(s) of your choosing into /BBCF_IM/Palettes/Mu, and edit palettes.txt in the BBCF folder to have them automatically apply to a slot (they won't show up on the select screen, though).

A reminder to use blazblue.wiki instead of the Fandom Wiki, and why Hazama's last name isn't Honoka

Aside from Fandom generally just sucking as a platform, the Fandom Wiki has lots of questionable choices like referring to everything by its literal translation instead of the localized ones that actually appear in-game. This only really makes discussion confusing with jargon-loving franchises like BlazBlue.

There's also straight-up misinformation like saying that Honoka is Hazama's last name, which has spread like wildfire. Corporal Honoka was only ever an alias. In the games, Hazama is referred to as Captain Hazama, so by the Fandom Wiki's logic, Hazama changed his full name at some point to Hazama Hazama.

Central Fiction's Steam publisher has changed to ArcSys

Yesterday's announcement also came with a lot of changes to Central Fiction's Steam page. The most notable one has to be them changing the publisher from H2 Interactive to ArcSys.

I have a theory that the reason why ArcSys only ever seems to promote BBTAG whenever a sale happens is because it was one of the only games they consistently published, so this is an interesting development.

The REAL new character

Dread it. Run from it. Damon and Baby arrive all the same.

Dynamic Intro Collection

BlazBlue has a lot of special intros, but it's kinda hard to find them without loading up the games and testing matchups yourself, so I took the liberty of compiling a bunch of the cooler ones into a video (in particular, every "clash").

Special thanks to these fine folks for their videos and both BlazBlue Wikis for helping me add subtitled translations for Central Fiction.

Timestamps with notes about mods/external tools used:
I modded Continuum Shift Extend's announcer to use the pre-Extend one for some of its intros.
I modded one of Chrono Phantasma Extend's font files to remove the version indicator that's normally in the top-right corner.

0:00 - I modded Ragna and Jin's intro to have a delay for that sweet music sync.

18:13 - Cheat Engine was used to make the 2nd Kagura have the default palette.

19:20 - Hazama's English BlazBlue activation voicelines kinda suck here IMO, so I used a mod to replace them with the unused BBTAG versions.

19:59 - Cheat Engine was used to set Player 2 as Take-Mikazuchi and play on its stage since it's normally impossible to see its intro with Unlimited characters and I wanted to not get attacked by it.

28:46 - Unlimited Ragna is normally impossible to play as and doesn't have any special intros, so I used mods and Cheat Engine. I also modded Susano'o to start with 100 meter and all seals unlocked since he doesn't have an Unlimited version and it feels kinda underwhelming to just have default Susano'o there.

29:03 - Cheat Engine was used to make the 2nd Ragna have the default palette.

30:47 - Cheat Engine was used to make the 2nd Nu have the default palette.

31:11 - Cheat Engine was used to make the 2nd Hazama have the default palette.

32:22 - Cheat Engine was used to have 2 Blitztanks on 1 team with the same palette.

33:20 - Cheat Engine was used to play on this stage and make the 2nd Susano'o have the default palette.

Fun Fact: BlazBlue is canon to Guilty Gear now thanks to DAMON AND BABY. If you wanna get into its lore, please consider checking out this YouTube channel I've been working on. It hasn't covered much at the moment, but I'm hoping to get a lot more progress done soon.

If whatsapp was in blazblue Extend

Anyone else find it funny how BlazBlue got a tag game when a decent chunk of the roster doesn't get along with the main character?

The Saya Bible: A guide to Saya and the previous world

there's a tl;dr at the bottom of the image

Everyone is Ragna's sister and also Hojo apparently exists in BlazBlue

This also works as an incomplete biological family tree for Ragna.

A reminder that Hazama (albeit probably under instruction from Terumi and/or Relius) viciously tortured a little girl and later rubbed it in her brother's face (he's still one of my favourite characters of all time).

If you're still curious about Terumi and Hazama, consider consulting the Snake Sheet.

Hazama has unused interactions in Continuum Shift and Chrono Phantasma

Characters normally have 2 sets of voice lines and they load 1 when into going into a match.

Hazama is a special case where he has 3. The 3rd one has much more aggressive voice lines to indicate that Terumi is in control. It gets loaded when Hazama is Unlimited or fighting Ragna or Valkenhayn (since the old man beat Terumi up and put him in jail a really long time ago). This 3rd set is also in Central Fiction, but it goes unused since lore-wise, Terumi can't take over Hazama during the events of the game. If you don't know how Terumi possessing Hazama works, consider consulting the Snake Sheet.

Nu also has a 3rd voice set in Chrono Phantasma, but I have no idea what causes it to load.

If you use something like Cheat Engine to force Hazama into one of his regular voice sets when he should be using the 3rd, he has some unused interactions like the one in this video. As a reminder, at the end of Continuum Shift, Ragna loses his left arm and gets a replacement from Kokonoe.

Similarly, he has unused intro lines for being in his 3rd voice set against a few other characters. Unlimited Hazama doesn't work for triggering them since he gets forced into doing his BlazBlue activation animation during his intro, so you'll still need something like Cheat Engine for this if you wanna hear Terumi crash out over Celica being alive.
