So american arcades won't be getting Street Fighter IV in arcades, you won't get the satisfaction of plunking a quarter on the cabinet to mark your spot in line but you'll get Cammy in the home console versions so you'll be able to sit at home and stare at her behind all day long. But there are still a few people who long for something new in arcades to distract them from the people driving themselves to heart attacks on DDR and various rhythm arcade games.





BlazBlue, the latest 2d fighter from Arc System Works of Guilty Gear fame(they also developed the recent arcade fighter Hokuto No Ken, Battle Fantasia, and Sengoku Basara X) is due to hit US arcades this week! A game with completely new characters drawn in highly detailed sprites to make the action slicker, they are twice the size of a sprite from guilty gear.







If you have a decent arcade in your area, check to see if they're getting it this week, and if you happen to see one in the DFW area (mainly close to arlington or hurst), let me know!



Here are some match vids that were recorded directly from the cabinet, also the opening.
