Put on Your Wizard Robe and Hat and Prepare to Play Nine in Blazblue: Central Fiction

While Nine is considered one of the best in Blazblue: Central Fiction, the Great Mage has some nuances that need to be learned in order to be played properly. Much like every top tier character in any game imaginable, you can’t simply pick them up and immediately start beasting with them (if you can, then prepare to see them get hit with the ban hammer!).

But thankfully, J Rivera has conjured up a beginner’s guide for playing Nine for everyone to grasp how to cast level 9 S-tiericism on their opponents. Starting with the absolute basics, he gives you enough of her basic moves and spells to get started, and will certainly be delving deeper later.

The patch is only available for PlayStation consoles right now, but check this helpful chart showing the submission status of other regions and consoles.

Once you’ve downloaded the patch, you’ll see a little plus sign that appears on the end of “Skullgirls 2nd Encore,” like you see below:

The full patch notes have been made available on their site, here. It’s a bit of reading, but the headlines are the inclusion of lobbies and spectator mode, as well as a lot of gameplay changes and bug fixes to the cast. Characters like Robo-Fortune, Fukua, Peacock, Big Band, and Beowulf got some of the biggest changes, but it’s worth reading through everyone. There is a followup patch that will be coming to add Japanese voices and further bug fixes, but this is probably the final gameplay update for the game before Lab Zero fully moves on to Indivisible, their upcoming platformer title.
