Ah yes, yet another embodiment of "No matter how much time you spend on this game, there's always going to be an Asian kid who'll beat your a r s e".

More seriously, this is one of the best anime fighting games. The only thing that hinders it from being better is the story. The story is extremely convoluted for no reason. This wouldn't be a problem if the game explained things better.
A lot of aspects of the game can be understood by doing intensive research, from light novels, manga, the in-game glossary, etc. but many people don't have time and/or can't be bothered and hence drop the story completely. Which is a shame because the story had a lot of potential. And the balancing system could do with a bit of work.

The other problem is the netplay. Holy shiz, is it bad. Blazblue is already a dead game on Steam, you rarely get any matches online, but when you do, lag makes you lose. I'm fine with losing because I suck, but it's annoying when you lose because of connection issues.
My last rant is about local multiplayer. Why remove 2 players on 1 keyboard? Some people don't have extra or any controllers available, because after all this is the Steam version, and this game literally forces you to buy controllers if you want to play local multiplayer. Come on now, I know people aren't that stupid especially in such a big company.

Anyway, that was my two cents, now I'm poor.
