I really desperately wanted a fighting game that makes me feel at home more, as I started to alianate from Street Fighter IV, which was my first 2DF since the days of SNES and SFII. I wasn't very good in SFIV, but I really wanted to find a fighting game that felt just right for me, so that I could possibly train myself better and kick some butt someday.
Then I just happen to notice that Continuum Shift was coming to Europe in a matter of weeks, and then I just jumped in since the price was pretty cheap for preorders, plus they would give you DLC code to download Makoto after the release.
After recovering from my initial shock how fast, different and all felt in BlazBlue, I quickly grew fond of it. I'm really trying to aim to learn to be better in this game, even if it takes an eternity. Too bad that I just won't be able to actively play it starting this summer for almost a year, but oh well.
