Level 482 Productions break down some of the character changes coming to BlazBlue Central Fiction 2.0

With the conclusion of Evo and the release of patch notes for the upcoming Version 2.0 of BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Level 482 Productions has begun creating a series of videos breaking down the myriad of character changes coming to CF’s cast. So far, their coverage includes:

  • Nine The Phantom
  • Noel Vermillion
  • Mu-12
  • Hazama
  • Hibiki Kohaku
  • Izayoi
  • Hades Izanami
  • Azrael
  • Susano’o
  • Jin Kisaragi
  • Hakumen
  • Rachel Alucard
  • Valkenhayn R. Hellsing

482|MastaStef, Saykin, and Premium Tax examine the likely effects of each translated change, in addition to speculating on potential playstyle and tier list shifts for each character.  They’re looking to cover every single member of the cast before the patch officially hits consoles. You can see all of their current videos below, and keep an eye on their channel as they look at more characters in the future.

BBCF Version 2.0 will be released in arcades on August 3rd, with a console release planned for later this summer. You can see the updated Arcade opening, which includes new challenger Jubei, here.

This model will be compatible with PlayStation 3 & 4, and PC via XInput. Pre-orders are live now at Arcade Shock; expect the fightsticks to ship out in mid-August 2017.
