iantothemax by on August 5th, 2012 at 7:55 pm

After announcing the latest entry in their BlazBlue series yesterday, Arc System Works released information regarding system changes and move lists for every character in the Chrono Phantasma cast. These are currently being translated by members of the Dustloop community, so we’ll continue to update this post as more details become available. For now, feel free to check out the images and short list of changes below.

Remember that these may still be subject to further changes, as Chrono Phantasma is only now entering its first location test.

  • Green Bursts work as before.
