Will someone please tell the Japanese to stop naming their games so poorly. What a horrible name. I thought Blazblue was retarded for a name (it is), but this just takes the god damn cake.

The game seems OK, but I'm not excited for some reason. :scratch:

No one makes decent 2D fighting games anymore, show me a company / group other than Capcom and SNK that can pull off a fighting game close to Street Fighter III or Garou and maybe I can force myself to try it.

Until then, I'm not impressed. :rolleyes:

So you haven't played GGXX AC? That game is amazing as hell, and anyone that says otherwise just hasn't put in much/any time with it. Deeper than hell, with a huge learning curve for each character. Hell, each character's system seems to come from completely different games. It's one fighter you pretty much have to pick one person and play as, since each one plays so incredibly different.

No one respects Guilty Gear here....

I'm surprised OrochiEddie hasn't jumped in to say how you can faceroll highlevel play or some silliness.

I will just leave this here......

Wrong. I have nothing but total and complete respect for Guilty Gear. I even flirted with the idea of dropping all 2d fighting games together for Guilty Gear.

What? I love Guilty Gear, and I've made that clear, using it to show why between Blazblu and Guilty Gear Blazblu can go fuck itself. Guilty Gear was years of my teenage years spent in training mode, going to tournaments, and pulling hair out trying to learn Eddie traps all to find out I was a Potemkin guy. And then AC came out and I didn't have to try anymore. Those were fun days. I started when X first came out on the US PS2 and as soon as the match started we'd activate instant kill and just run around the stage. We eventually figured out what was going on and our little group really amped the competition in our group of friends. Finished all the missions in X2 which was an awful endeavor.

For a while we'd switch between Alpha 3 and Guilty Gear, but until our group finally began to fizzle in its cohesion we were all hardcore GGXX fans. The game had an extremely fun engine and knew how to laugh at itself a little.

Wow, a lot of effort went into the animations and artwork for some of these games. I'm not a fan of the loli-goth genre, but I acknowledge there is some care put into their aesthetics (which makes sense, I suppose.) Is this genre popular enough to even warrant the amount of production, or is this just a small studio effort with a lot of love for the subject?

As for GG, it was never my thing but I don't hate it.

It looks like it has potential. I'll give it a whirl when it's released.

See, I DID hate it for a long while. Thought the cast and everything was retarded. Then one day I played it, and I finally got it. Probably my favorite 2D fighter ever at the moment (that's saying a lot from me).

For the longest time, I was SNK's bitch. Capcom, too... but now, I'll give anything a chance. So, even with a stupid name, I'll check this game out. But, I'm not interested beyond that, at this point.

I am one a big hater of these kinda games and this art style, but surprisingly I can actually stomache meltyblood. At least melty bloods midget bitches look like they are there to fight... kinda.. and the game is technically sound and well animated.

So I am a little less disgusted at this one and may even give it a shot if it gets a console release and a friend plays it.

Fate Unlimited Codes. Doujin-ish but at least it's not loli.

okay that game doesn't piss me off either, nor does akatsuki blitzkamf (infact I played this game for a bit)

but I can't see myself playing fate unlimited codes, that shit has like 45 minute long combos and no scene to use said combos on :)

We need a list of fighters that deserve a second chance....

Akatsuki
Fate
Daraku Tenshi

I thought those were all great, but had little to no positive reception/didn't get an export. :\

Man, I remember playing shitty hokutonoken games on the SFC. Back in the day when you had to take a kitchen knife and carve slots in the back of SFC games so they'd fit in your god damn SNES.
