BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend is the second revision of Continuum Shift.

Information
Continuum Shift Extend is released as a standalone disc. This installment features Relius Clover as a brand new character, along with the arcade version's latest balance update from October 2011, along with much more re-balancing for all the other characters.

Story Mode includes Calamity Trigger Reconstruction, a remastered version of Calamity Trigger's story mode, the Military Academy story Heart to Heart, the Sector Seven story that which is inherited, and stories for Makoto (Slight hope), Valkenhayn (Hunting Dog), Platinum (Scapegoat) and for Relius (Darkness Visible).

Network Mode has also been tweaked and adjusted from the previous installment to include smooth online play and team battles, with options for 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4.

Abyss Mode is a new mode ported straight from the handheld versions. In this mode, there are four levels – Depth 100, Depth 500, Depth 999 and Depth 99,999 (also known as Depth Infinity).

Unlimited Mars Mode is a brand new mode exclusive to Extend. Player fights with ten Unlimited Characters. Rules are akin to Score Attack Mode.

Legion Mode is no longer available.

BlazBlue Quiz Mode is a new mode exclusive to the PlayStation Portable version.

Like with Continuum Shift II, Extend also features a few aesthetic changes such as marking the patch version number above the match countdown timer, and changing the HUD color in order to distinguish between the past versions of Continuum Shift; CS II originally had a blueish dye to the HUD, while CS Extend instead replaces it with purple.
