Well this will teach them for hiding it from westerner’s eyes. The rip version was arcsys fault for not letting cs out of japan. I have no symphony in this case as they intended most of the western society not to have the game. Face it the rip version you can’t play other opponents so therefore the arcade is still better, but they still have no intention to allow non-japanese to have the arcade console. They just don’t learn.

Anyway I hope mu-12 is balanced and unique. Because of the murakumo (where is the amaterasu unit??) unit I got is she going to play like nu-13. I hope I’m wrong. And another character would be sweet.

They go out of the way to explain Jubei’s fighting style … that is holding a gigantic sword in his mouth, so I’m fairly certain they will bring him to the fold at some point. I’d hinge my bets on him and makoto geting playable versions at some point. Not sure about anyone else.

I think it could have hurt BBCS sales. I mean, it’s piracy. Piracy is piracy. People need to top fooling themselves into thinking everything is OK.

I know a lot of people who just aren’t bothering to get CS now that the arcade version is leaked. They don’t care about story mode or any of the other modes, they have computers that more than run it, and the options menu in the leaked version is actually quite impressive. NTM, a lot of people who got it working say that the Arcade version is actually MORE responsive than the console version. For example, I know someone who can’t 720 with Tager on the console port but can do it like clockwork on the leak using a PS2 to USB converter. This may just be a feature of CS and not of a difference between arcades and consoles, but it is worth noting. Also, there are people with Wii’s and no PS3 or Xbox that will be using the leak as their primary BlazBlue experience.

Actually, I take back what I said earlier. I should have said they “weren’t” going to purchase the console version. Now they totally are just so they can play as Mu. Personally, I think that Mu’s announcement was totally because of the leak. If they can drum up excitement and hype now they can totally get rid of most of the negative effects the leak could have had. I still know a lot of people who don’t give two shits about legion mode or tutorial mode or any of that bullshit, but I don’t know anyone who will play without a character.

If the CS leak is doing anything its hurting CT sales, not future CS sales.

WOW, nice detailed post, but I disagree about the response to the leak version thing and that it will hurt BB sales. If anything, it’ll help.

[...] the same person who does the voice work for Lambda and Nu, will also be doing Mu. According to 30Ninjas, “Kondou herself will also be voicing Lambda-11, Nu-13’s replacement in Continuum Shift, [...]

Actually that was a result of a survey taken in an Arcade in NY that has a BlazBlue Continuum Shift cabinet. Over the course of the day 35 fans were asked about their opinion of Mu-12 being playable, and 30 said it was a response to the recent leak.

Fair enough though. That does need clarification.

This article really needs to be rewritten.

“Many fans believe that Mu-12’s inclusion in the final cut of BlazBlue Continuum Shift is a partial response to the recent leak of the arcade version.”

That’s not something you include in an article. Did someone read one post on a message board of a random person and create that line of that it? Mu-12 already had a portrait in BBCS, and Aksys had already hinted at 3 new chars before BBCS was even out in arcades.
