The SRK Blazblue General Discussion Thread

This game looks very sexy :tup:

The character designs reminds me of GG for the PSX, where the designs were not to be meant to be all colorful and detailed!

Wait, what?

Anyway, I can’t wait to see the next six characters. I hope it’s at AOU.

I really like the main character’s outfit. Lol at anyone who says it’s the same shit, just because they both (Sol and this guy) have a shade of red in it.

It’s clearly not the same outfit, or blade. Also, Dude’s a white haired bishie looking fello. Certainly not Sol Badguy.

Who cares, it’s all about the next six characters. lol.
I really want to see the game in action, I think this game could be massive.

Official website. Looks like Arc System Works has a new publisher (AMI). AMI is the same publisher used by Cave for their arcade shooters.

Famitsu character art and AOU announcement. No direct screens, but now you can look at the character designs in a bit better detail (to fuel more arguments I bet).

And people are seriously claiming they don’t look like Guilty Gear characters?

Exactly. I literally have zero idea what the fuck people are talking about, the only resemblence I see is that Potemiken like guy but that’s because he resembles him not looks like him.

I admit this is the closest one because he definately resembles him but he doesn’t look like him.

EDIT - While I do like the designs of the other characters I must admit this guy looks like a fucking dumbass.

It was posted before that during playtests the game plays like Guilty Gear but far more smooth.

But then again it was just an early playtest things change. Remember the early playtests of Basara X?

Where does it says that it has to LOOK like one another?

There are far more ways of being similiar then just looks.

I fail to see the relevance I said he’s like him but doesn’t look like him.

We know nothing about the character except what he looks like. You said he resembles Potemkin. But doesn’t look like him. lol wut.

And, if you want to count “2.5D” games like SFIV or Fate Unlimited Colors, yeah, the genre seems so alive that i can believe we are in the 90s again.

Seriously this concept isn’t hard to understand at all.

He doesn’t look like him but he resembles him as being a beefy grappler.

It’s similar to how Hugo resembles Zangief.

Agreed the only thing is that it’s still hard to find competition.
Sigh if only people would be more willing to do local play (what the genre is crafted for).

I personally can’t wait anymore, I mean fuck it if people won’t start their on weekly LAN competitions then I’ll start my own.

…He looks like Hellboy and Krug’s lovechild. I don’t think he resembles Potempkin enough to the point where he actually REMINDS me of him. I think people are only making that connection because he’s Arcsys’s design.

Actually, the same pretty much goes for the other characters too.

I mean resembeling as he’s like him not looks like him.

This guy seems to play like a beefy grappler just like Potempkin.

He resembles him as much Hugo resembled Zangief.

Yeah that’s pretty much what I mean about all the characters. They don’t really resemble any guilty gear characters outside of the fact that they’re the iconic fighting game group, like SonThemAll said.

Glad someone understands.

I still can’t wait for this to be released though. I mean this is the bigget game to happen to the fighting community since Street Fighter IV!

Ranga looks nothing like Sol. They only wear the same colors(somewhat) and have similar stances. people are saying Ragna looks like Sol because Sol is the only thing in GG that can be compared to Ragna. It’ll be the same thing if some guy wore no shirt and had glasses and jackasses will say that’s Anji right there.

People are just classifying BB characters because naturally they know nothing.

Good stuff.

So, AMI is taking up the publishing rights for arcade distribution? Interesting. This will be basically the 2nd fighting game they published (the first of which being Spectral vs. Generation).

I wonder though…will ASW be interesting in keeping a partnership with AMI, for the sake of future arcade titles that don’t utilize a 3rd party IP (like BASARA or HnK)? I would like to imagine so…
