It's pretty much a fighting game,done by the same people who did the Guilty Gear series.
Here are some sites about Blazblue:

Actualy to answer that "tutorial necessary" i was seeing it more like a trial mode where you learn moves of the characters and how to link them to
one another. This is not actualy necessary for players who dont even care to advanced linking, but it realy pay itself off if you are trying to be
like tournament-level fighter.
I guess i could talk about games DLC content wich is this time UNLIMITED modes to each characters and actual 3 new DLC characters Makoto Nanaya "the
Squirrel girl and Noels friend in academy" Valkenhayn R Hellsing " Rachel Alucards Butler and former member of legendary heroes" And Platinum
Trinity "the one part of legendary warrior Nines soul".
Makoto will be avaible in august and other two gonna be avaible later this year.

Yeah,I tried out the tutorial mode as well.It can be brutal xD If you dont do Exactly what they tell you,or go by
the demonstration they show you,it Wont Count.I only completed one of the lessons so far in intermediate.
And I hate Hazuma already... xD
At first I thought all his specials were unblockable/unavoidable...but I found out that you can block/avoid them,but the timing to block or get out of
the way is what's killing me;lots of patience and trying to stay alive basically.He makes Nu a pushover.
And sadly,this is gonna sound like I'm a cheater on this...but I already miss the shortcuts on the right analog stick.And no,I dont rely on them
Every time,I just like to abuse the AI when it's being a bastard <<; Otherwise,I dont use it as much even with playing against others whether its
versus or ranking mode.
My last rant:I HATE THAT NEW ANNOUNCER.HIS VOICE IS DRIVING ME INSANE.
It came to the point where I Had to mute the TV...I miss that lady's voice >>;

oh i absolutely love Hazama XD but you know i always love calm characters who go sadisticly crazy when they reveal their true identity.
For the annoucer i heard you can change it to Jin's VA or Taokakas VA too but i realy dont remember how lol.
Yeah well you dont realy have to feel bad using shortcuts. I am tournament player and i have to do like Finishers doing that crazy combinations
because i dont have Analog in my Arcade stick. But i dont realy mind if people who have not courtesy to do those things use shortcuts i mean isin't
idea to just have fun with games XD?
Im still waiting my copy "gotta love Delivery times" that i can start to train as Hazama : 3

Yup,I know xD -looks at avatar and sig-
I saw there was an option for the announcer in the game option menu....but it was Greyed out,I'm sure I will figure it out eventually.
Oh yeah I agree,I mean its all about having fun...and by having fun,not abusing the shortcuts like some would do against other players,lol.

Well actualy there is pretty much new Buffs and Nerfs in this game. Rachel have been nerfed, but she is still enjoyable. I presume you playing Ragna
so his soulstealer has actualy buffed and now it drains more health. Also he has one new basic move and well Taokaka has like move wich you can combo
in air so these are realy small changes, but they balances game realy good way.
Expect that Carls new Projectile shoot with Nirvana just made him more annoying. XD

Yup,first starting out with Ragna.I've noticed and read about it before hand,that he does drain HP more than before.Still not helping with the fight
against Hazuma on arcade mode though xD I'll bash his face in eventually,I got his health down to 5%...but yeah,he got me since I was on 5% health as
well.

Oh yeah Arcade Hazama... He is pretty bad, but i could say you will beat him with Ragna XD. The real fun starts when you play agains him with Taokaka
the rock hits the bottom. Seriously my friend is Tao-player and he streamed his match agains Arcade Hazama with Tao and it was uter rape and he raged
and tried it agains like 2 hours in a row.
It's because Hazamas Uroboros gives him ability to reach himself anywhere he wants so you get picture when Tao uses here Air attacks and Hazama just
glide there with Uroboros and does counter combo. XD

Yup,thats why I hate him xD
I just beat Ragna's story mode with the normal ending.I really enjoyed it,it basically showed flashbacks with how Ragna met Jubei and how he was
trained by him,but I like even more is Tao was involved in his life in one way or another.So yeah,it was really enjoyable..sucks about the end though
>>; Have to beat everyone else's story to see it. Time to put easy mode on for Carl..AGAIN xD

Well i guess it was better then 1st one i mean with Ragna and Nu. XD
Carl can be realy tricky but believe or not im finlands best Carl player and i did main him sometime in the start. I guess it makes to you actualy
easy because Nirvana can now shoot and Carl has realy good quarter Triangle escape move so i guess its not gonna be that hard for you this time.
Well also Arcade Hazama is Arcade Hazama, because he is actualy one of hardest characters to master because his playstyle is combo based and combos
are realy strict so i have lot off work to do with him. Thought i dont care because he is my fav character in Blazblue story XD.

Yeah,unlike Nu and Unlimited Ragna,I couldnt even get That far without dying,mainly I couldnt even get their health halfway when I first started
playing,but atleast Hazama I have more of a chance of getting him down.
Ah,I see.Thats good to know they made some improvements with him,I kept getting fustrated when he went against Jin in CT,lol.
Oh I believe it..when they make him the ultimate boss in the game,he means it,lol.Yeah,I have to say his dialouge is pretty messed up...not saying in
a bad way,but in more of a "he gets his amusement by watching you suffer".So yeah,he is overrall one kind of a character...thats all I like him
for.Maybe I'll like him once I beat his ass xD Just kidding.
Also watched the Joke ending for Ragna...its pretty long,but down right hilarious.Its so messed up I cant even describe it in full,just have to watch
whats going on,I'm assuming all the joke endings will be like this.
Ragna> And second... Nu,for the love of god,the valley or the sea... just pick one.
Nu> Like,ye be wrong Ragna! There be treasure aboard and some junk.
I wanted to kill her AGAIN.

Hazama is not actualy ultimate boss of the game well okay he is the final boss of the Arcade version, but what you gonna see in the storys ultimate
boss is far more worse than Hazama and Nu. I mean they totaly did their worse this time to make it hard "unlike Nu what was a cake in Calamity
Trigger".
I personaly HATE Nu and i was so glad she is not in this game. Lambda plays as same way "little different" but her Dialogue is from Kokonoe
"because she controls Lambda" and in my opinion i like Kokonoe more than Nu.
Only realy new chars are Tsubaki and Hazama "and well that ultimate boss but i dont wanna spoil" and those 3 other new chars are DLC wich pisses me
of because They are on the Disc and plot, but you have to pay to Unlock them. And yes i realy want to try Makoto and Valkenhayn because those 2 seems
to be awesome characters unlike Platina who is just another MAGICAL GIRL homage.......

Oh I think I know what you mean....took a peek at the story flow chart of what's ahead,but I'll find out how it is eventually.
Yeah,I've always hated Nu.
I like Kokonoe as well,she has a role in the story mode if you get the "Bad endings" or the "One of the many possibilities... ",the first episode
she does,or atleast when I did it with Ragna,cracked me up hard.She was bashing not only Ragna[as usual] but the player themselves as well.
I know...I've also heard that the next version updates you might have to pay >>; Not sure if this is true,but its not surprising if you have to pay
for those other three characters,which I agree,shouldnt have to pay for em to get em.As for that little girl,I really could careless about her...I ran
into her on Ragna's story,and this was before I looked her up online,because she hides her identity at first,and really....she pretty much is the
next messed up chick in line right next to Nu.Which is amusing really,get rid of the first crazy chick,and put in Another one... >>;

Some tips I would like to share about Unlimited Hazama in Arcade Mode for those who got stuck like me,lol.Or a note for myself when I decide to take
him on,if I feel like getting everyone else's Astral Heats >>;
Dont know how he is in Score Attack mode...so I dont know if his behavior is any different,but I bet much more of a pain in the ass.
Anyways....if you dont want to be spoiled and what not,I will leave it in under a spoiler tag.
| Spoiler: Scroll over text to highlight
spoiler text. | Some things I've noticed:
He likes to step far far away from you,which is obvious he likes to use that snake[Ouroborus] of his on you.But he manages to corner himself a lot
that way.
When his heat gauge is 50%,hes gonna use two of his distortion depending on your distance.If you are really upclose to him,he's gonna use Jayoku
Houtenjin[the flying kick one],he also has that habit where he Jumps over you and lands behind you and does Jayoku Houtenjin on you...sneaky
bastard.
If you are not close up to him,but instead are far away from him he will use his Mizuchi Rekkazan [the one with the yellow fog that grabs you andfinishes you off with his snake buddies].
At first when I went against him,I thought his drives were both Unblockable/unavoidable...but they can be avoided.For Jayoku:
You can jump over him right before he does this,recommended if you are pinned in the corner because he loves to do it right there or you are too
close to him and his heat guage is at 50% or above.You can also block it or interrupt it,but god is it tricky...there is a small space between you and
him before he lands it.I have blocked it before he lands the hit and blocked it when i was in mid air,interrupting it only happened once when I used
Ragna's Soul Eater [6D],but again the distance varies with this and you have to block or strike at the Right Time.
I've also noticed if you are neither up close to him or not far away either,he will just come running at you...I've noticed this when he didnt even
use any of his drives until I got too close to him or he snuck up behind me.
As for Mizuchi:
After being captured by it so many times,I had caught this while watching it on youtube and also tried it myself and it does work...You can block it
if you crouch down with your guard up OR do an instant block for it,again timing that is Really tricky.Also he will do it if you land right on the
ground sometimes,not allowing you to recover/give up..Somtimes you can roll out of the way to avoid being captured..but its only happened once or
twice with me.
For those of you,like me,that have trouble doing skills when its the opposite side[meaning,all your skills and directional inputs are reversed/you arethe second controller now,etc.]..I tend to wail on him when he is back in his little corner again...surprisngly,the AI is REALLY stupid.It will
continue to keep going back into the corner a lot,sometimes it will charge at you,and sometimes it will try to jump over you,if you can keep Hazama
pinned in the corner,he more than likely wont be able to do his skills...long as you dont give him an opening or rather...keep tossing him/juggling in
air and he cant do his specials on you.
More importantly for using Ragna,Try as much as you can to keep your health up..at the beginning of the fight,I attacked him while keeping my health
in the green,which only lasted..maybe under 10 seconds? But of course you cant keep it up for so long,but yeah...try to keep your health up,incase he
does his distortion drives on you.Not to mention keeping your guard up at all times...which is a given really.

If you played again Regular Hazama in vs You noticed already that Unlimited one have more stamina and power. In regular fight his Jayoku does realy
poor damage, but idea of that move its not actualy to do damage its for make you fly in the air to get that air combo chance. Hazama is pretty much
combo-character so he as regular version have to do lot of linked attack to do that much damage.
Well i did not realy feel Hazama as boss so hard in arcade version like "cought cought" Ino...
The Hazamas arcade boss is rather interesting like Nu had Unlimited Rachel wich was pretty much harder than Nu herself in HELL-difficulty.lol

Yeah,I have played as Hazama in story mode and went against him in versus...there is a total difference.So you're right,normal doesnt hit as Hard as
his Unlimited one.
Ah,her,lol >>; I will always hate her to this day,lol.
With Unlimited Rachel,I had beaten her by mistake the first time I encountered her in Nu's story...so I got that trophy after I defeated her,lol.She
is a real pain at times,especially that DAMN FROG,UGH.But she can be killed Really easily if you move around a lot and keep staying close to her or
block or stay out of range of her attacks.

Well yeah she is not THAT bad in default difficultys but in Hell-difficulty she starts to use lighting attacks pretty effectily and she dont need to
summon pylons for those in UNLIMITED mode.
My friend whines about all the time how Arakune players beat his ass in online, because Arakunes curse-attacks are totaly boosted. I mean instead of
Insects there is like now plaque plants, defiled fishes and other bizarre vermins. This is actualy why Blazblue is my fav fighting game, because
characters grow as characters and as fighters. Arakune is now more powerfull because he eated so much power in CT and now he has more boosted curses,
Ragna looks more older and his soulsteal is more effective, Carl has modified his Nirvana with blaster, Tager has boosted Magnetism by engineering
from Kokonoe and well you get the point.

Even in Hell or Score Attack mode...she's pretty much the same,atleast from my experience.I do remember that the whole field is basically with
nothing but rods or lighting strikes everywhere,I remember jumping around in the air half of the time with Jin to avoid getting striked down by
her.
Yeah,I have noticed the changes in the other characters as well.I've noticed with Arakune that curse he does to you,it stays on you longer...and that
was in Arcade mode,lol.I was like,Oh great..how the hell do I get this off even after hitting him?

I guess that Arakune-boost was because Arakune players was complaining about uselesness of curse agains some characters liken Nu, Litchi, Rachel and
Jin. So devs changed it that it wont lift if you hit him. So only way to not get cursed it just to try to avoid gass clouds or destroy them with
certain characters. but also there is not that drive insect anymore who can do you infinite damage so i guess its better on this way.
The another realy badass buff is on Hakumen. I mean they did not nerf his attack power a bit and they give him counter attack to all projectile
attacks. He is like now a perfect Tank who shoots your projectiles back to you lol.

Lol,ah I see. I havent played as Hakumen as much,even with story mode I kept spamming the C button,lol <<; Yeah I'm that bad with him xD
I learned he has another side to him in story mode..which if you see it,I dont know if it will surprise you..but it sure did with me,lol.I mean,I
know -who- he is and stuff...but still,that caught me off guard xD
They also have the gag reel/joke endings on youtube now...I mean I could go back and redo some of them..since for most of the option choices show up
right at the start of their story mode.I think Ragna and Jin's up there,Tao's is just...wtf as well.
Jin's is funny and creepy at the same time...his borderline incest has gone to fetish now...Lol <<;
And Rachel's.. xD Ragna is a pimp,oh boy.

Playstation network store has a section for CS now.
Three types of additional character colors have been added.
Color Pack #1:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXTalUXzGdM
[Lol at Hazama with Joker's colors]
Color pack #2:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeh6sa5-nIw
Color pack #3:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFd-owyJcw4
The japanese VAs for Jin,Tao,and Carl can be heard for the Additional System Voice Types which can now be bought and replace that annoying
announcer.I've downloaded Tao's and she has two different types.The first one sounds like she is bored...Lol >>; But the second one is a little
better,she sounds more lively.I havent heard the others yet.
Voice samples can be found at these links:
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=BBCS+DLC+Voices&aq=f
[Lol,"Asser Finish"]
They have the Unlimited versions for pretty much everyone,even Mu.
If you dont feel like sitting through all of story mode and to get the True Ending,you can purchase Mu for 1.99.
I would have to disagree that Makoto is not worth 8 bucks.. >>;

I thought that Color Packs where just damn too expensive to be worth of it. I mean most of them where pretty lame.
For Makoto yes i think she would be rather 5$ worth or same as Mu-12.
