"That kind of over-the top character design has really been lost since Darkstalkers"
Who is this guy? He's playing on a fight stick with Noel Vermillion on it and I really have to wonder, did he not play THAT game? For that matter, anything Aksys/Arc System Works have done in the last ten years. I mean one of the characters is a direct Millia Rage rip-off and the stage at 3:49 looks like Bang Shishigami is going to show up at any minute. And they're not alone. There are games that have you fighting as robot maids and nun assassins, jetpack wearing vikings, kangaroos and pandas, girls riding blobs, undead zombie pirates vs dominatrices with demonic whips and Freddy Kruger midgets. Then again, the stick probably belongs to the booth and this guy is largely clueless. This was probably the first fighting game he's seen who's title didn't rhyme with meat blighter since 1996. And that's not even giving Capcom any credit for what they've done in games like Tatsunoko vs.
So anyhow I was bored to shit until the last minute our so. Then I got hit with a sudden pelting of good ideas that made me think they might have something in regards to the system they're working on. If you're unimpressed with everything you see skip to 4:00. The game speaks for itself pretty eloquently. Now if they'd just do something about that art style.
