  :thumbsup:news Kai. I been on to this game for quite awhile and been studying it myself for ....reasons. . looks like the anime inspired era is upon us in fighting games finally even more now.  Yeah them bars are pretty sweet aint they......

[DEMONKAI]

.. HEYYYY WAIT A SEC!  ... .

yo i feel ya but yo man it does look pretty dang good on a lot of fronts. there is some things i fell mehhh about it but uhh shana, akira and a few of the other cast do look pretty tight and the gameplay is cool in motion. Ehhh sega trying they hand on the anime bandwagon so i am looking forward to seeing whats good with it when released.

[DEMONKAI]

i knew id get that reaction from ya but nah it looks like something at a level i be seeing at MFG with those screen packs and everywhere else. Not bad but but it damn sure dont look like its company man. some mugen stuff do come close and some dont. Knowing that its Sega and arcade at that it should look better than that...at least like that persona 4 game...

but eh anyway the video is more important to me.  im curious how it looks in action
