BlazBlue has a community. It's not a strong community, because a lot of the people who would like BlazBlue prefer Guilty Gear, and Guilty Gear can actually outdraw BlazBlue at some tournaments, but it's still probably a stronger community than most non-Capcom fighting games can claim to have in America.

To be honest, nothing I've seen from Persona 4 has me excited. I'm still giving it a shot because it's Persona and Arc System Works, which are two things I love, but my expectations aren't all that high.

Follow-up question: does Capcom actually believe this nonsense, or are they just saying it to save face?


They're saying it because a company more or less cannot admit to its stock holders that it lost money because of poor decisions. "It was due to unforeseen fluctuations in the market" is a pretty common line to hear variations of.

I plan on buying Guilty Gear when it comes out this gen, and I'll buy Persona 4 for the same reason as you. FGs and Persona, yes please. so I am going to give this sub genre a fair chance.

yeah like I said I don't know anything about Blazblue. actually I'm kind of bad about FGs in general. If it isn't ST 3s or CvS2 I probably don't know anything about it. I have heard that GG is one of the most respected games though and that it still has an active scene in Japan and a semi-active one over here.

Arc System Works games are pretty complex and different from traditional 2D fighters, yup.

From what I've seen of Persona 4 right now, it looks really beginner friendly for an ASW game. Like the Street Fighter 4 to Guilty Gear's Street Fighter 2. I obviously haven't played it, though, so that assessment could be way off.

Better than most of what Capcom puts out.

MvC3 cries out loud for bursts, but Capcom says "No, you take your 100% combo off of a 50/50 mix up grab and you'll like it."
