I'mma likin your Noel gamerpic. Where did you get it?

I know better than to blindly follow IGN now. And the game just doesn't look like my type. I'm not a huge fan of fighting games, with a few exceptions. And this looks more like Ultimate Ninja Storm than Soulcalibur or Tekken (the only two fighting series that I like)

I have no money right now since I bought my PS3, I'm going to have to wait on buying this :(

You're comparing 3D fighter to this which is silly, this has nothing in similiar to any of the 3 game you mention with the possible exception of Soul Calibur (both games uses weapon) This is the spiritual successor of Guilty Gear, if you're not familiar with the series (as it is pretty niche) then you can compare this to the Marvel vs Capcom series as both game emphasis the use of aerial juggles and (air)dashing.

Heh, already got it pre-ordered.

I already decided I'm going to main Carl, Litchi, and Noel.

Right now my mains are Noel(favorite ) and Arakume. He can tear *!@^ up real nicely when you learn how to use his curse move right. oh, and U and hakuman are cheap bastar*s.

Wow this game rips... I actually like this better than SF4. King of fighters 12 has a tough job ahead if it wants to top this.

I picked it up today. I'll be getting into it shortly after work.

With the lack of good 2d fighting games, I'll probably pick it when it hits EU.
