Been watching webstreams of people playing this and SF4, and it's far more interesting to look at BlazBlue as I am sick and tired of watching people constantly turtle in SF4, while in BlazBlue you seem to be asking for to get your ass kicked by turtling. Each character is different from another, and really have different playstyles, as some are defensive and some are made for rushing and constantly put pressure on the opponent. Only from the watching the streams and that I have not played the game yet, the BlazBlue characters "Ragna The Bloodedge" has quickly become my favorite for being a rush character and interesting moves. Or it could be just that he looks similar to Dante in "Devil May Cry", a game series I like, that I like Ragna.
I'd give this is a spin ... if I had any of the consoles this is available on >_>
PS: I suck at fighters.
