 -----------------------------------------------------[INTRO]


I just wrote this stuff down while completing the game and
decided to format it into a Guide. I hope this is helpful to
someone! As a warning, this list does contain some spoilers
(as in, who you fight at specific intervals).

This guide was written for the Playstation 3 version of the
game, but I'm pretty sure that the information contained
within should work for the Xbox 360 version as well.

Now, just a little info before we get started...
"Win" obviously means to win the match.
"Lose" obviously means to lose the match.
"Auto" means to reduce the opponent's health to a
       certain amount.
"Distortion Finish" means to win with a Distortion Drive.
"Astral Finish" means to win with an Astral Heat.

Also, in cases where there are alternate routes to an ending,
you MUST view all of the DIFFERENT events to reach 100%.
For instance, if two paths are identicle except for a single
fight, you still need to do that single fight. However,
unlike Calamity Trigger, you need not lose to every single
opponent and see every Game Over for 100%.

Quick Disclaimer: I do not own any rights whatsoever to
BlazBlue. I merely made this Guide in my free time and am
not making any money off of it.

And remember, have fun!

I guess that's it. You can either follow this guide step-by-
step for 100%, or you can use it as a simple reference when
you get stuck. I hope it has been useful!


 -----------------------------------------------------[OTHER]


Update 1: Thank you to Daisy for pointing out an extra fight
in Hakumen's story that I accidentally left out. I appreciate
it! If anyone notices anything else, give me the head's up
so I can fix it!

Update 2: By request, I added that Astral Finishes also work
in place of Distortion Finishes.

Update 3: The requirements for Tsubaki's Bad Ending seem to
be rather tricky. I've gotten several e-mails mentioning
different ways to get her Bad Route, and I'm not entirely
sure if there's something else to it or not.
It's possible that the requirement is simply using Izayoi a
large number of times rather than either Distortions or
Astrals. Thanks to Shadow Dragon for contributing this
suggestion. I decided to include it here so that maybe it
will help if anyone is still having trouble with Tsubaki's
Bad Ending.

Update 4: I got another submission regarding Tsubaki's Bad
Ending. This one comes from Yisuki (Thanks!):
  [I just got the bad ending for Tsubaki and this is what
  Kokonoe says about the ending:
   "Well, it's not really a question of using the Izayoi or
   not... You just really need to stop using your flashy
   moves all the time."
  I got the bad ending by finishing Carl with Astral and Jin
  with Distortion, but failed to finish Noel with any, even
  though I threw a lot of finishing moves. So I think the key
  to getting the bad ending is using a lot of the special
  moves, even if you don't do the finishers.]

Still, I've left the Tsubaki's section alone up in the guide.
Getting Distortion Finishes or Astral Finishes seems to work
for me. If there is anything else anyone thinks should be
mentioned other than what you see here, please send me an
e-mail & I'll include it (along with your name) in my guide!


That's it. Thanks for using my Guide! It was fun to write,
and I hope it has been of some benefit to you! I also have
to include a thank you to the creators of BlazBlue, as I
absolutely love these games! Thanks a bunch, guys! If
anyone needs to contact me for any reason, please contact me
at my primary e-mail address: ouha-chan@hotmail.com!

Unless I see a reason to add more information or someone
submits a question or a correction, this will likely be the
Final Version of this guide. If you have any suggestions or
comments, contact me at the above e-mail address. And, of
course, if you contribute anything to my Guide that I add to
it, you will be credited. Once again, thanks for using my
100% Story Completion Guide for BlazBlue: Continuum Shift!
