Here it is, the mystery fighting game for PSP that I said I was going to play, its BlazBlue Calamity Trigger, from the Arc System Works franchise BlazBlue.

Its a really fun fighting game centered on surrender tactics were you have to put the computer or the opponent to surrender his attempt to ditch high damage at you and you have to counter with your own damage input to reset everything. It has some broken elements here and there, for example I don't like how there is extra frames in characters when they do a dash or a backdash, or how inputs for the AI are automatic in combo loops and you can't do nothing about that, but still its great fun, the game definitely was one of the more unique fighting games alongside Virtua Fighter 5 from the PS3 era and its sequel is also really good as well. It came unfortunately at an era when hte Asian market for games and especially the Japanese market had died out and only recovered recently, which thankfully has led to more games of this sort again in the industry.

Oh also don't get the footage mistaken for just poor gameplay. I'm re-learning BlazBlue yeah, but these games are tough, because the inputs are much lighter to execute, resets of animation and inputs too precise, and the speed of gameplay is really quick, so it plays like a old-school 90s and early 2000s fighting game, which is great, but also punishing as well. Characters like Iron Tager are as broken as Potemkin was on Guilty Gear X for the Dreamcast, which I also played on the channel before but didn't complete. So yeah, give it some time, when I learn the entire mechanic and character sets, I will do better at it, like I started doing slowly over time.

So that's it, first part of BlazBlue Calamity Trigger. Hope you enjoy it, lots more coming up for these games in the channel, it will become a regular series for gameplay, something that I'm planning to do with lots more games as of late.
