I've been dying to play this, any version of it. Ive been waiting for a console release for as long as I can remember (I'd even settle for the Vita version they mentioned 2 years ago!) I wonder if my bottom-of-the-line laptop will be able to run it

thanx for that Reb, my laptop is the cheapest current dell they had on amazon, it's windows 8 so I might just try and see what happens, guess I'll need a pc stick too.

My PS3 stick worked for the BETA version, but will not work with the final release. WTF.

My PS3 Madcatz SFIVTE stick works perfectly with it. Also, I tried a old wired Xbox pad and it worked as well. I did have to do a key config from the title menu, however. As far as the game goes - it plays very familiar and easy to pick up, similar to SFIII. It's a 4 attack button system, LP/HP/LK/HK, with high and low parries, command normals, and a two button throw. It's also got 'hops' ala King of Fighters.

I found movelists online here for reference: http://wiki.mizuumi.net/w/Yatagarasu

Also found this tutorial vid:

The character roster is varied and interesting, and the game looks and sounds fantastic. My only slight criticism is that some of the more abstract, painted-looking backgrounds don't mesh very well with the sprites, which resemble those in Mark of the Wolves, IMO. Others, like Hanzo's stage blend wonderfully. There's a funny commentator feature, where you basically pick a guy who talks trash for you. There is a robust practice mode, and the netcode seemed to work without any debilitating lag, when I played. Lots of options in regards to the matching, ranking, creating/joining teams, and tournaments. Ultimately this is really a great value for $15, and a game it seems was made for the appreciation of us old-heads!

Had to do a bit of work to get my stick working. : p

The game is pretty good to play against others, too bad that Arcade mode is basically shit. The endings are shit, as is the dialogue between characters.

Still, the gameplay is solid.

Isn't there any news about a port of this game to home consoles ?

According to their official website, it is not being ported to consoles. http://yatagarasu-ftg.com/faq/

It's a shame, I would buy a physical copy on PS3 or something.

I agree - the overall presentation - the menus, dialogue, intro, story scenes, etc have a very low-budget appearance. Would have been nice to see all of these fleshed out nicer if they could have spent more resources on it.

Here is the Steam link if anyone is interested: http://store.steampowered.com/app/319280/
