With all the hype around Street Fighter IV: Giant Dragon Penis Edition you might have missed another up and coming fighting game from the makers of the Guilty Gear / Accent Core folks called BlazBlue - a PS3 network exclusive that made its official debut this year at AOU in Japan. The game is set in the same Guilty Gear universe ten years after XX and will bring some solace to those whose panties are not dripping for SF IV, including yours truly. The game is also set to hit arcades on the Taito Type X2 board, presuming your city still has one of those.

Check out the round-up of videos, scans, and screen shots we've found on the ps3 forums and our community blogs. Three more videos after the jump.

Thanks, Y0j1mb0!

holy crap.

PANZERDRAKO

Dante meets guilty gear?

mmmhhh

Hoygeit

The more I see of that game, the more excited I am for it.

Everything looks great.

drMario1337

Im excited.

Shin Oni

Goodness sakes just release this game now.

I look forward to this and Basara Cross X more than I do SFIV now. These look so much more promising.

sleepingagain

oh nice, that looks good, even on youtube

MechaMonkey

I was unaware of SF4's subtitle. Good choice, Capcom.

Y0j1mb0

NEED THIS NOW.

Horatio Caine

This is promising to the max.

madninja

This is a good sign because Guilty Gear and Street Fighter have gone 3D. This is awesome!

onomelon

Holy fuck on a fuck cracker! Do want!

Oh, guess I'll need a PS3 first...

ankjevel

oh, I suddenly want a PS3 now..

jehuty

just...pure...awesome!
go go psthree!

manasteel88

must support 2d games!

Topher Cantler

OH GOD YESSS!!

Big Z

I wish there were more people with me so I could begin a slow clap. This looks awesome.

Topher Cantler

No, seriously, this is my new most wanted game. I need it.

ZenGaijin

This gives me one more reason to pick up a PS3 this year.

Thank god its on PS3 because if it was on the 360 man that D-pad is horrible.

Justice

It looks great but I hope that this Noel character isn't the new Bridget.

WDot

Wow, I find it ironic that the thing that's making me want a PS3 right now is a 2d game. But that's not a bad thing. =p

s0lesurviv0r

@madninja
But the 3d Guilty Gear is some RTS Dynasty Warriors thing, it doesn't count.

Good lord, I want to play this game so bad. This along with KOFXII is making the year great 2d-wise. You suppose we'll see any guilty gear fighters as hidden characters?

Altair78

Damnit, I need this in my life!

Spooky Electric

PS3 GET!

The GHost

Man I'm glad that I'm not the only one who's considering picking up a PS3 for this.

Heh, "Calamity Trigger". I hope that they keep the SLASH text when you win a fight. :D

Qraze

did dante and cloud have kids?or did they do a fusion al~la dbz? game looks great though. too long of an intro, title font reminds me of soouul caliber. i love that game,my favorite 3D fighter and best fighter on Dreamcast. the stage is set. #1_in_the_hood_G!!

Evil Cheese

The video game gods have graced us PS3 owners. I was really wanting a good fighter on the PS3, this is the answers (maybe SC IV but I'll see how that goes first). I hope there are more than three characters.

Luigi takes over

God damn PS3 exclusivity. Release it for PS2 T_T(I really don't want to play fighters on my 360)

Septon

I am so thrilled that this a PSN exclusive. Guilty Gear is one of my all-time favorite fighters (I wish Queen of Hearts some how made it to PSN or XBL). I was honestly jealous of the shoot 'em ups XBL is getting. F SF IV in the A ; it looks generic and im not a fan of the graphic style.

F Whipple

So this means there's a chance for everyone to go gay for Bridgette in High-def

exanimo

I'm buying a PS3 for this game. Period.

Wedge

Lol, I saw that golem jacking Potemkin's moves.

IMPORTANT QUESTION!

Can the PS3 use any controllers other than the SixAxis/DualShock3? This is important, because the d-pad on those things is worth absolute SHIT for a 2d fighting game. If not, this isn't much better than trying to play a 2d fighter on 360...

DV2FOX

@F Whipple: LOL

This game could rock,but at what price?,also there's just a few charas (not 4 but the "NOT"s on the screen)..hope there's unlockable..we need MOAR BOOBS N PANTIES :P...

Jonathan Holmes

Looks far more fun that GG2 and SF4.

Remz

Looks awesome, especially Noel. woo, gun kata.

Bastards better release it on 360 though. Or maybe the wii, cuz I bought an arcade stick for my wii to play Accent Core..

AgentMOO

Oh shit now you guys can all get gay for bridget in HD!

cielo mist

now i have another reason to buy a ps3

BahamutZero

holy shit.

Remz

There.... doesn't seem to be any bridget. :(

Backrounds are holy shit awesome though.

DemonEyes23

this makes my pants wet

manta

I've been playing SF3: TS on my Triples...and oh man, how I've been jonesin for some online 2D fighting action. Wait, please tell me this is online? All my friends are lame when it comes to fighters.

RaiRed

Hmmm, looks like I'm going to have to buy an arcade stick now. The only one on the market for the PS3 I can fine is the Hori one and I'm not too sure about it. Anyone know of any others or can recommend the Hori one?

bottled dark

i actually want a ps3 now.

Gen Eric Gui

I was excited, and then I saw the words "PSN exclusive" and totally lost interest.

DinnertimeNinja

Am I the only one who thinks this looks incredibly generic?

Sure, it's essentially a "sequel" to Guilty Gear which in theory means it should be awesome but honestly, NONE of those characters look as good as ANY of the characters in Guilty Gear.

That Vega girl could be ok, but everyone else just looks uninspired and boring. I'm not saying I won't buy the game but after seeing the awesomeness that the Guilty Gear team can make (SOOO many well designed characters), you'd think you'd see a little bit of that carry over in to the next game.

I mean, seriously, they all just look like DIRECT knock-offs of past Guilty Gear chaarcters.

PSIq0ut

-.- I'm sorry, I love guilty gear with a passion but this game is THE EXACT SAME GAME. Sure the characters are new, but the whole interface, combo system, etc are the same as guilty gear. This isn't a sequal or a step forwards, this is another bloody step sideways.

spacecadetjoe

im guessing no kinds of tentative release dates or anything?

Pacman

@Raired: The Hori Fighting Stick 3 is certainly worth the $50. i use it to play T5: Dark Resurrection and it doesn't miss a beat.

As for BlazBlue, I just hope there are more than 10 characters (which is what the selection screen is making it out to be), because I don't want to play World Warrior again (yes yes I know it was eight).

Cheeburga

Kick. Ass.

Puppy Licks

PSN Exclusive? :(
Looks like I better start saving my pennies.

bluki

this game have no connections with Guilty Gear whatsoever people (aside from the same developer), but in continuity it isn't.

anyway this is my first and most wanted fighting game :)
