    BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma has been given a release date of some time in March 2014 for North America: http://www.siliconera.com/2013/11/05/blazblue-chrono-phantasma-reaches-north-america-march/

    Zen United have historically been the publisher for all Arc System Works fighters in Europe, and for the most part have done massively delayed jobs of it, with numerous changes to predicted release dates as time goes on. To have a little fun with that, how about this year we make a bit of a game from it?

    I'm going to run a pool for guesses on when the game officially launches in Ireland (not when they announce a date - when it is available on store shelves). You can choose the first half or second half of any month from now until the heat death of the universe. Each half-month can only be chosen by one person, so first come first serve.

    And there's actual prizes!

    If you guess the correct half month of the game's release you will get a Limited Edition copy of the game. If no one guesses right I will give the closest guess a Standard Edition copy. If two people are tied for closest they can have a first to five in some game to decide a winner.

    Please leave a reply below with your guess and I'll add it to this Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhZg_HwdZXlFdFU2a2dzWHlTOVpaeHFFb3NwZllmMmc#gid=0

    I will stop taking guesses on January 1st 2014.

    For your benefit, here's Zen United's current track record:

    BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger
    NA: June 30, 2009 - EU: April 2, 2010
    9 months delay.

    BlazBlue: Continuum Shift
    NA: July 27, 2010 - EU: December 3, 2010
    4 months delay.

    BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend
    NA February 14, 2012 - EU February 24, 2012
    No delay.

    Persona 4 Arena
    NA August 7, 2012 - EU May 10, 2013
    9 months delay.

    Also for kicks (and because I am still terrible with money), if you get it right you get whatever Limited Edition is available. If you're just close you only get the Standard.

    I was tempted to guess "never", but that would be a bittersweet victory if correct.

    So: September 23rd

    Yeah I gotta admit, she has way too many tools with too much damage, and her speed in her 5B is too good.

    People were asking me where I see everything I see for this game so I just thought I'd make some sort of post with everything in it.

    For good play with English commentary, Stickbugs bi-weekly tournament (streamed by Arturo, twitch.tv/nycfurby if you don't know) is pretty good. Lordknight, SKD and Lich usually show and they're all really good. Only downside is that it starts at like 1am.

    Highest level of play is from Japan. Godsgarden online is great but you have to have a premium nico account to watch that, which is something I'm considering but don't have yet, I tend to avoid the site wherever possible. Gameacho (http://www.youtube.com/user/GAMEacho/videos) uploads fairly long videos with a lot of good players (N-otoko, Ryo) on a regular basis but the video quality is poor. Jourdal uploads videos as always (http://www.youtube.com/user/Jourdal2012?feature=watch). Other than that there are character specific video threads on Dustloop worth checking out.

    Also this tournament just happened last night, with Kokonoe available. Haven't watched it yet but I can tell it's going to be great from the players present. http://www.twitch.tv/mixupnight/b/483959848

    Last thing is since everyone's been talking about who they think is good and what not I just made this based of my own personal opinion (obviously lacking some in depth knowledge on some of the more specialist characters like Carl). http://www.mmcafe.com/tiermaker/bbcp/index.html?tc=ya0-trnde7n99s9ce7l583l4685oe9fh6m7je8lkdmfbdmfi8yfzfdow7me5fsox5rk4eag6aqfbi3egjtebaqiceal6bcg9jufdc1b5e8ou2sn32u-bkf-naNaphiel

    I will say that I made things really spread out just so it didn't look incredibly clustered. I didn't really pay attention to the letters or anything, just using it to say this group is better than the one below it, there's no "I think this character is C therefore garbage" kind of thing. Being to the left or right of a character means nothing, just threw people into well rounded, in between and has flaws.

    So you think Hazama is better and more well rounded than Terumi?

    I still haven't played with Terumi. I hope he's a super beast.

    Terumi has a better AA and can get more use out of rapid cancels and counter assaults than Hazama (because of the meter gained from his drive) but Hazama just has much better mobility and pressure, while dealing equal if not more damage than Terumi.
