It is being hailed as the "spiritual successor" to Guilty Gear, which makes perfect sense as it is made by the Guilty Gear team, and I am a fiend for Guilty Gear.
I've been keeping an eye on this game since late February. I have tried not to get to excited as there is still quite a wait ahead of me before I can play it. This video however makes it impossible not to get excited for this game.
The character designs may look a little flat compared to Guilty Gear, but I feel the gameplay more than makes up for that. There are still some rad character designs to be seen though, Taokaka and Arakune look like all kinds of cool.
The wait for this game just became a hell of a lot harder.

Savage Dragon #137
The pages below are for Savage Dragon #137, which I had the great pleasure of coloring. The line art is by Erik Larsen.
I've admired Erik's work since I was a kid. I think the first thing of his that I picked up was "The Return of the Sinister Six" storyline from Amazing Spider-Man #334-339 (?), which I managed to score at a second hand book shop a short drive from where I lived. He was a definite favorite of mine growing up. Jason Pearson, Art Adams and Erik Larsen were my top three as a kid. Mignola would later join this illustrious crew after reading my first Savage Dragon issue, Savage Dragon #34, part one of a two part Savage Dragon and Hellboy team up. Unfortunately to this day I've never read the second part of that story. Comics were hard to come by for me as a kid. Thankfully I work at a comic shop now.
Aside from Savage Dragon, which I continued to pick up scattered issues of until issue #100, I was a big fan of his work with Kurt Busiek on The Defenders. His work on Defenders really struck a chord with me, I love all 12 of those issues. They are well done, quirky and just all round fun to read.
Getting to color these pages below was a dream, for myself its the closest I will ever come to working with Jack Kirby. That is how highly I rate Erik.
I've only done a handful of work in comics, but to know people out there, like Erik, are actually taking notice of what little I have done, is very inspiring. Keeps me going.
Savage Dragon #137 is released on September 3rd
