Watch: Arcana Heart 2 and BlazBlue

By Spencer . February 15, 2008 . 1:38pm

Street Fighter IV seems to be the media darling of AOU 2008 and I’m sure there are plenty of videos with 2.5D dragon punches circulating around the internet. Arcana Heart 2 and BlazBlue coverage? Not so much!

Catherine Kyohbashi joins Arcana Heart 2’s wacky all-girl cast with in a giant mech. She’s wears rabbit ears and rides a giant mech. I suppose she will give Kira Daidohji (i.e. the girl who is stuck in a monstrous water dop) a run for her money as the strangest character in Arcana Heart 2. Daidohji still has my vote since Kyohbashi reminds me of Tron Bonne from Marvel versus Capcom 2 with the addition of a super move that takes up a ridiculous portion of the screen.

BlazBlue appears frantic and has skinny fighters. Typical Arc System Works stuff, but it’s hard to make out anything specific regarding the fighting system from a few rounds, but the video definitely piqued my interest.

    Actually KOF XII is stealing a lot of thunder from SFIV. It just seems like SFIV is the media darling because Americans have a weird hard-on for Street Fighter.

    KOF XII video was amazing and is getting lots of good buzz more so than SFIV. I feel somewhat sorry for SF, oh well KOF FTW!

    in that BlazBlue, that chick really reminds me of Ky with her that one move with the “rainbow” colors lol. And the dude, Ragna was his name?, really reminds me of a few combinations of a few gg characters.

    Don’t hate on me lol.
