giving recognition

Blaz Blue: Continuum shift has introduced a couple of new characters. Let's do some more voiceover trivia shall we?

A new NPC appears in the story mode named Relius. He is voiced by Travis Willingham. I didn't recognize him until I looked up my trusted (lol) wiki sources; it's the same voice as the Colonel of Central apparently. Once again, he does not disappoint.

A new Kaka character appears named Korakaka. She is played by Kate Higgins, but; I have my doubts. If it really is her, she sounds nothing like Sakura Haruno, Talho, and (insert frustrated sigh for agreeing to do this) C.C. Also, damn, that is one sexy voice she does for Kora. She's got a good range.

And last one; there is Platinum the Trinity, a girl with three personas. One . . . I have not encountered. The second is Sena, a little boy, whose voice I did not recognize. The third; A little girl named Luna. Okay, I think making a series of tvtropes links should describe my reaction when I identified Luna's voice.

(riotous laughter) Oh gawd! 8-year old Maka is calling Ragna a pedo! (pounds fists on table) I can't . . . stop . . . laughing!

Never stop voice-acting, Laura Bailey. If you're reading this, know that you have my up most blessing.

And of course, the returning cast is as great as ever, even improved in some cases. (most notably Michelle Ruff as Carl; he actually sounds like a little boy now, instead of a woman faking a boy's voice.) You see how a good dub job can go a long way to captivating an audience, readers?
