Really, you guys just don't know. Last Blade has better gameplay then MotM. Once you get over the fact that MotM has characters from both companies and have a total of 9 ways of fighting, plus those mini-games; you'll see that Last Blade is better.
Last Blade VS MotM (all talking about LB)
More Secrets
Less Mini-Games
Less Characters
Less Secret Characters
More style in characters
More stories
Better stories
Better gameplay
Worse graphics
More fun when fighting
Less boredom
Now if the graphics is just marginally lower then MotM (parallax scrolling is absent), wouldn't it really be just about gameplay? LB does it better.
Oh, and if you think I'm biased, I never knew what LB was in the first place till this game arrived, then I found it in a local arcade and played a few rounds. And also, I was never a SNK fan until I got NGPC because of MotM, CFC, and Sonic. And I've always been a Capcom fan. I was there with SF2WH for SNES. I was there with Megaman3 for NES. I was there with MMX for SNES. SFA for Saturn. RE for Saturn. I was never there for Vampire, though, but soon that will change. Oh, and I'm so deticated to the MMX series, I will be getting PSone just for MMX5 (and I'll be getting GBA, so I can get MMXtreme, or whatever it's called).
Oh, and don't get me started on SFA3 (I spent probably over a year at my local arcade every week, playing that game to death, and I'm being modest!.)
