Blazblue Challenge Mode Npc Keeps Rolling Before I Can

Who is getting this and on which system?  I know I'm probably the only one crazy-dumb enough to be importing it this week, when it's coming out here at the end of July for only $40.

Shamelessly-stolen GAF OP:

Arc System Works� second entry into the BlazBlue franchise took arcades by storm this past November. Now, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift is finally making its way to home consoles with more characters, more music, and new content!

Limited Edition:

Exclusive to the Japanese release is the BBCS Limited Edition Box Set (￥9,660).
Included in the limited edition box set are:
� A replica recording script
� An exclusive Art of BlazBlue artbook
� Exclusive disc label artwork
� Noel Vermillion Nendoroid petit figure

North American gamers won�t have limited edition of the game available when it hits shelves, but if it�s any consolation there is an exclusive BlazBlue-branded  Madcatz Fightstick TE. Individually numbered and imited to only 3000 units (1500 per console), this is truly a collector�s item for any BB fan.

New Characters:

� Hazama � Total renaissance man. Intelligence agency captain, possible Michael Jackson impersonator, and total demonic ghost.
� Tsubaki Yayoi � NOL graduate. Introduced as an NPC in BBCT. Fights with a weapon that manipulates light.
� μ-12 � Apparently Noel Vermilion�s true form is a robot that can blow up the world. Neat.
� Λ-11 � She�s ν-13 except less broken. Apparently they needed a plot reason and new character to explain this.
� Makoto Nanaya [DLC] � Introduced as Noel�s Librarium classmate in BBCT�s story mode, this tonfa-weilding squirrel-person will become the first downloadable character in BBCS.

New Game Modes and Features:
� Beginner Mode - Hooray for accessibility! Beginner mode won�t actually remove any of the numerous meters or gauges, but assists new players with a simplified control scheme so they can enjoy the game right away and even learn fundamentals without becoming encumbered by technical inputs.
� Tutorial Mode � Learn the mechanics unique to BlazBlue Continuum Shift
� Challenge Mode � Learn fancy combos and complete missions with specific goals to master your character�s offense.
� Legion Mode � New to a console version of BlazBlue, the formerly PSP-exclusive Legion mode. Defeat armies of increasingly difficult AI opponents in a �team battle�-type scenario.
� Rebalancing - As the game's Producer Toshimichi Mori stated, BBCS shall receive a significant balance patch a few months following release. Fighting games have received bugfix patches in the past, but something like this is unprecedented.

Returning Game Modes - Every mode from the console release of Calamity Trigger will return, including:
� Story Mode � Continues the plot of BBCT with now familiar dramatic mode.
� Arcade Mode � Conversion of the arcade release BlazBlue Continuum Shift.
� Online Versus � Arc System Works� rock-solid netcode makes its return with lobby support for player matches.
� Practice Mode � As the name suggests, this mode allows the player to practice with numerous customizable variables.
� Score Attack Mode - Survival mode in which you accumulate points by fighting CPU opponents until you die (or beat them all).
