I've never seen Blazblue before and the characters are indistinguishable from other games.

If you don't watch animu, it is understandable that it all looks the same to you.

When I used to put League of Legends tournaments on my TV, my wife couldn't even tell what was going on. It was just blobs to her.

I honestly can't think of any fighter that has a good story, and BB's has time based names in all the subtitles of the games so im not shocked its a time traveling alternate reality all over the place mess.

Guilty Gear definitely has more interesting character designs than this

I also like how these games have to come up with new words for "Round" and "Fight"

Honestly even with the anime looks the same blze blue characters don't look like normal anime characters either.

Doujin characters in school uniforms do tend to look the same, but i don't get that here at all.

Is there a good place for news round ups from Evo? Like Arika's Fighting Layer EX was apparently named and I didn't even realize, and I know SNK was teasing stuff before the event but I haven't seen if that was anything

I thought most of the original BBCT characters were super boring, there's bootleg Sol/Ky/Pot, a robot samurai, gothic lolita vampire, that guy from Spirited Away, and Literally Just Strider From Strider, but I actually like some of the newer ones even thought I very much prefer GG.

If the 3 sword girls were on screen I'd entirely understand the criticism though, but the rosters pretty huge now. and very few read the same to me. But I play it :shrug:

guilty gears is just as anime prefer it or not, and personally I've found their recent designs kinda weaker,

Like answer felt entirely phoned in.

Bedman would actually fit into the old crowd, but he's the loudest design of the entire bunch.

Jack-os concept is interesting but design just anime Halloween cosplay.

That was a port Samurai Shodown 5 Special for PS4 / Vita. Same people who did the Garou and LB2 ports so it should be good.
