Any fan of Guilty Gear might've heard the news about its new baby brother in the Arc System Works family. BlazBlue looks a lot more like GG in the sense of style, scenery, story background, characters and--to a slightly lesser extent--gameplay. And the music would definitely sound familiar due to the fact Arc recruited Daisuke Ishiwatari to do the BGMs.

(And if anyone has some time and interest to spare, they've put up a Wikipedia page on it now)

When I first heard news I was a bit skeptical, but I somewhat expected this after GG2's inevitable crash (And its poor results and critisisms certainly showed in the sales charts). But having seen the trailer, I'm starting to get curious as to how this game will progress.

Trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/176848.html

Any other thoughts?

I hope it does too. The only critisism I have as of now is the way-too-close similarities it has to Guilty Gear. That and the lack of characters (There are four starters and you have to unlock the rest. Even as is, the numbers aren't that much. Maybe around 20 or less, I believe)

Btw, which forum did you see it in?

Ah, okay. And a correction on the cast count: they only have 10 characters in total :yuusaku:

Character silhouettes, if anyone's interested: http://gigazine.jp/img/2008/02/15/blazblue/P1060012_m.jpg

Why does the shadow next to Noel seem too much like Chipp? (And look at the far right; tophat for the win!)

Like 80-90% of a rehashed movelist?

YES

But the characters and some of the background story contributes too. Maybe even the fighting system to a lesser extent, but I did find some new things in it involving a somewhat complicated defense action (at least it's complicated to me as of now. I usually can't decide on it just by reading a description of it)

It's mostly the movelist that irritates me more than anything else. I mean, I understand GG's been ended, but the comparisons will be made. A new face on Sol necessitates different moves.

They just lack originality in Arc, I guess.

Going from SF2 to SF3, there was that problem as well, true and we DID end up with moves that were extremely similar (Necro being Blanka/Dhalsim, etc.)

But at least it was radically different. BlazBlue just seems like "Oh shi we can't do GG no more but we can't come up with new moves."
