Newcomers!

Hazama – Total renaissance man. Intelligence agency captain, possible Michael Jackson impersonator, and total demonic ghost.
Tsubaki Yayoi – NOL graduate. Introduced as an NPC in BBCT. Fights with a weapon that manipulates light.
μ-12 – Apparently Noel Vermilion’s true form is a robot that can blow up the world. Neat.
Λ-11 – She’s ν-13 except less broken. Apparently they needed a plot reason and new character to explain this.
Makoto Nanaya [DLC] – Introduced as Noel’s Librarium classmate in BBCT’s story mode, this tonfa-weilding squirrel-person will become the first downloadable character in BBCS



New Game Modes!

Beginner Mode - Hooray for accessibility! Beginner mode won’t actually remove any of the numerous meters or gauges, but assists new players with a simplified control scheme so they can enjoy the game right away and even learn fundamentals without becoming encumbered by technical inputs.
Tutorial Mode – Learn the mechanics unique to BlazBlue Continuum Shift
Challenge Mode– Learn fancy combos and complete missions with specific goals to master your character’s offense.
Legion Mode – New to a console version of BlazBlue, the formerly PSP-exclusive Legion mode. Defeat armies of increasingly difficult AI opponents in a “team battle”-type scenario.
Rebalancing - As the game's Producer Toshimichi Mori stated, BBCS shall receive a significant balance patch a few months following release. Fighting games have received bugfix patches in the past, but something like this is unprecedented.


LIMITED EDITSHUNZ! XD

Japan will have that Limited EDITSHUN.
You'll just have a fighting stick with the game as limited editSHUN.

Even though BB:CS has under 15 characters, they have the nerve to charge 8 bucks for a new character?! (Makoto)
Not only that but 5 bucks for a costume pack which should be free.

Devs need to stop with this DLC abuse. Really.
MW2 isn't the only one.
