So, I finally got BB (Actually, I've had it since Thursday or Friday, but my internet was out.) and it's...eh. While, it's fun, it's also no Guilty Gear. It's slower and isn't as combo driven (as in you can't pull out some 15-20 hit combo). You basically get happy if you do a 10 hit combo. The only slow fighters I've ever been into were Samurai Shodown and King of Fighters. Basically, the two things I liked about Guilty Gear, BlazBlue doesn't have, but I guess it's understandable since it's a different game, but it's no replacement. While it's a bit more technical then GG in the move department, it still didn't insanely thrill me.
I ended up staying with Arakune and picked up Tager as well, why, with his Potemkin Buster-like move and magnetizing shit, he's a world of cheesy shit. While I tend to not play characters like Arakune and Tager in other games (obvious by the fact that I play Ky in GG, and he's sucked since after Slash) I just fuckin' hate all the other characters design wise, so I just picked whoever I thought looked cheap enough. My husband decided on Rachel and Bang, Bang for his awesome Super Hero music during one of his Drives. I was pondering Taokaka, because she's the only character I find somewhat cute, but she's just sorta..eh, in the move department. Maybe for shits and giggles I'll use her, I don't know ;\
So, yes, the game is fun, but I have my gripes. I won't be spending the thousands of hours I did on GG to learn the game inside and out. When the next GG comes out, that's when I won't be seen for months ;|and it's sad I'm still playing GG2O over any other game ;(
