I will NOT apologize for posting about how much I want to FUCK fighting game characters!

The more badly you want them, the better you play!!!

So, hey, I just read your post about how tsubaki is way over hated and I agree. I made this rant about tsubaki and why I like her really much and think that Tsubaki Yayoi and Izayoi could be plural (as if the rest of the game wasn't plural enough besides the characters who have multiple versions of themselves or literally embody different aspects in the system that is God herself)

Hope you enjoy

Thank you so much for reading my essay!! I’m really happy it was to your liking!

I have never thought about how Tsubaki is like a magical girl (mainly because there already is one in the cast in Platinum) but it makes a lot of sense and it definitely gave open my eyes to a new perspective of her! It helps that I’m a magical girl fan so lol.

It also did help me see how different Izayoi and Tsubaki actually are personality-wise. To me, I kind of thought Izayoi was just Awakened Tsubaki after she had her character development but how you describe how their views (dogma vs philosophy) is really interesting! I might have to replay or watch playthroughs of their CF arcade modes again to refresh memory since it’s kind of been a while and I mainly remember the CP arcade modes for them.

Again, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts! It really helped broadened my perspective of Tsubaki! 💛🤍

Guilty Gear Blazblue crossover focusing on character interactions and them being normal people in a... a little more normal world than they're used to (if only slightly).

Post canon, Canon compliant though not strictly and definitely not religiously for Blazblue, post Strive story mode for Guilty Gear

I fucking love BlazBlue. this game is peak late 2000s anime and it is unapologetically so. it’s so fucking fun and I’m glad that we got a good version (with rollback!) to end things on

A little late to report on this but I contributed to editing another CMV for the BlazBlue Centralfiction matchmaking discord! I did the first segment from 0:00-4:05!

it could also be that the Zero-type transformation requires that certainty in your own values and judgements in the first place, which would explain why Tsubaki before Chronophantasma was never able to access it. Only with the mind-eater curse, and only after being set-free by her friends could she awaken the weapon's full potential. The fight Izayoi has with Makoto also speaks about not wanting to use this dangerous power in the first place, presumably due to the aforementioned influence Izayoi has on Tsubaki, but maybe that influence is a little different than the one Yukianesa has on Jin: instead of inducing psychosis retroactively after picking up the weapon, in order to activate the Zero-type you need to be in a certain mindset, like meeting certain prerequisites.

This also works with my read on then being plural because "Izayoi" could simply be the part of Tsubaki that meets those prerequisites the most consistently, or is able to meet them at all. Because remember, before Tsubaki Yayoi, nobody has ever seen the Zero-type. Even Nine.

Also, I just kinda noticed right now, the fact these are basically two different weapon types and how they're seen in context of eachother. They are the same weapon, but despite that, they are called different things. It's not "this is the same weapon, you just unlocked more of it's potential" and not "this is a potentally really strong weapon, you just don't make use of everything it has to offer". They're always treated separately to an extent, as if the characters knew they're two separate characters you can't play at the same time, like two separate "states", even though from the outside I'm not sure that makes a lot of sense. It's like Tsubaki becomes the Zero-type and everyone suddenly recontextualises everything they'd say to or about her.

To me, this reads like the weapon has a dual nature that needs to be unlocked and part of that spills over onto Tsubaki, or requires the same thing of her. Like the weapon has a split personality that then becomes Tsubaki's by default. Or, how I like to personally see it, Tsubaki's split personality becomes the way the weapon can unlock it's full potential. For everyone before that point it was impossible because their identities and sense of self weren't as tailored for the job as "Izayoi's" are.

I also really enjoy talking about my hyperfixations so I'm glad you enjoy reading these and responding to them too

....Why am I so terrible at responding to these quickly? Anyway, I haven't actually thought too deeply into the Zero-type Izayoi, but it's interesting to learn more about it from that perspective! I thought that the Izayoi gave Tsubaki that split personality, but I never thought about the idea that she could've already had that from the beginning. It does make me think that Noel is kind of the same way, in that she had that split personality from the beginning (Mu-12 is basically said to be the real her if I recall) but she awakens almost like how Tsubaki awakens as Izayoi. But it's also kind of a reverse situation where she was born as Mu-12 while Izayoi was born as Tsubaki. I very much enjoy reading these! I just wish I could respond to them quicker so that I don't look so lazy and unattentive to your posts. Thanks again for sharing them nonetheless!
