Set several years after the Second War, the story begins with the destruction of Librarium branches and reports of a lone fighter responsible. Character-focused scenarios follow the events, with a playable recap of BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger included.
Choose a fighter for one-on-one matches built around character-specific abilities, special moves, and combos. Technical controls support more involved inputs, while Stylish controls offer a simpler way to perform attacks.
