I remember playing the challenge mode for this and something clicking for the first time.

It's basically and update, and act as a sequel to Calamity Trigger

I haven't even played this version since I owned Extend instead, but it's a mainline BlazBlue meaning it's automatically Peak Fiction.

One of my favorite games, one of the few fighting games I love dearly. The characters are all well-designed, the fighting feels good, and the worldbuilding is pretty intriguing, even if it feels a little lopsided and anime dorky
