BlazBlue (Calamity Trigger, Continuum Shift, Chrono Phantasma)
Yes, not another revision of Guilty Gear. It may be a new franchise, depending on its success when it'll be released.

The danger about the three attack buttons configuration is to turn it into a mindless jab spam a la Melty Blood, where you jab and pray it open into a B&B combo. Eternal Fighter Zero somewhat got it right, where doing so could get yourself hurt. Badly hurt. Gauges: There are two types of gauges, a Heat Guage and a Barrier Gauge. The Heat Gauge deals with offense, while the Barrier Gauge deals with defense. It. It sounds like Rumble Fish. Setting: It takes place in 2199. It looks like Guilty Gear universe, but I'll hold my judgement on it. Music: Daisuke Ishiwatari. Expect rock! Characters Ragna the Bloodedge is voiced by Tomokazu Sugita (Kyon from Suzumiya Haruhi, Gintoki from Gintama, Yuichi Aizawa from Kanon 2006, That Man from GG2 Overture). Apparently, he is some kind of criminal (because he have a bounty on his head) and is looking to be the balanced character with an emphasis on power, just like.... Sol! His unique EX ability is called “Soul Eater”, which can be used to drain physical strength from his opponent. Heidern's "drain" or Omega Red's "drain"? I dunno about you, but am I the only one thinking that he look kinda like Sanger Zonvolt from the SRW series, meeting Sol and stealing Geese's pants? I think about almost everyone screamed "LOLOLOL Square-Enix design!"... And as far as I am concerned, I thought of this SRW character. Jin Kisaragi is voiced by Kakihara Tetsuya (Graf Eisen/Laeventin from Nanoha, Fujioka from Minami-ke, Simon from Gurenn Lagann). He fights with a sword and may fight like Ky. His EX ability allows him to freeze the enemy, like Kenshin Uesugi from Sengoku Basara X. As expected from a Ky clone, he is very likely Ragna's rival. And now my personal favorite, at this stage of development: Noel Vermillion, voiced by Kondou Kanako, fights using two guns and has special moves that involve shooting and have invincibility times (Gun Kata Style, yeap like Equilibrium or Anonym from Akatsuki Blitzkampf). Her EX ability is called “Chain Revolver”, and works by pressing the joystick along with the EX button (like Hol Horse from JoJo's Bizarre Adventures?). What do I love about her? Guns as long and big as Beyond the Grave's from Gun Grave! Gun-kata style! And Zettai Ryouiki

BluBlaze would've been a better name though.
I haven't played many fighters with 3 button system but I don't like the sound of it so far. Though I always end up liking most fighters made by ASW anyways. Glad theyre keeping 2d alive. OT: Tomokazu Sugita was That Man? I always thought his voice sounded really familiar but I couldn't put my finger on who it was. |

Both trailers were really impressive, but BlazBlue prolly got my attention more because of the awesome music, bright visuals, and longer trailer. Not to take anything away from KOFXI though, those sprites are incredible, I'm glad they didn't take the 3d or 2.5d route. I'll gladly take back all the bad things I said about SNK Playmore in the past few months.
2008 is a good year to be a fighting game fan. |

Yeah, with Street Fighter 4, KoF XII, Sengoku Basara X and BlazBlue around the corner, this is going to be a good time to be a "2D school" fighting game fan.
"2D school": 3D fighters never offered the same feeling as 2D fighters. With this sluggish and lowish pathetic jump, no way you can hope for an actual aerial combat in a 3D game a la SC and Tekken ever. Dont get me started on button mashing scrub Mitsurugi or Jin, I'd rather fight a scrubby Ryu/Ken/Akuma or the abomination that is Toki from Arc Systems' Hokuto no Ken. Do I need to elaborate on fireballs, trap games, mix-up games and tick throws that makes 2D fighters much more appealing to me than SC and tekken can ever hope to be? So I'll have SF4 for the good old footsie, poking and fireball trap game, KoFXII for a slightly more offensive-minded pace and BlazBlue for over-the-top rock & roll fights. |

As for the systems, I'll say Wii and PS3. I am holding my prediction for the 360 after the news about the HD-DVD. Now if the 360 don't pull a Dreamcast on us, seeing BlazBlue on it may not be unlikely if Sammy/Arc Systems implement an online battle mode.
PS: I've been a lot on GGPO to play KoF98. |

To put it simply, I can kick any of my newbie friends' asses at any time in any Street Fighter battle imaginable (especially in the Crossover series ), but there's a higher chance they'll beat me a couple of times in Soul Calibur. PS: BTW, I love Soul Calibur. I had been a 2D fighter player all of my life until I discovered the beauty of its simple yet complex system.

So I'm thinking we hopefully would see Sol in BB sometime... Sol vs. Ragna would be a nice fight ^_^ As for KOF, I saw the trailer and it in no way can beat this IMO. The graphics simply aren't anywhere near as good and the music just gets outdone. Daisuke Ishiwatari is a god with music topped potentially only by Nobuo Uematsu. Though a FF with Uematsu/Ishiwatari doing the music would be O_O
