Aksys are in the process of celebrating BlazBlue’s third-year anniversary in North America, and as part of the celebration, they’re kicking off a trio of contests from August through October. While contest details haven’t been announced yet, Aksys say you’ll be able to win a Jin body pillow, signed illustrations by the BlazBlue team, and a third-year anniversary BlazBlue banner for your wall.
