Luminario
yet another fantastic looking fighter coming up this year. this game looks to flow like jojo's bizarre adventure, which has me wet and dripping.

step aside MvC, move over AH3, stay down MK9, SKULLGIRLS IS COMING.

 
"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.
 
Thats Jonathan Holmes from Destructoid... he's also the star of "Weekends with Sagat"; one of the many weekly podcasts from Destructoid.com (the best video game website on the net), where he dresses up like Sagat and friends.
 
I've been hype about this game since (well, really before. As this game has been in development for a LONG time) the announcement trailer. I can dig the art style, I can dig it cause of how goddamn gorgeous it looks. I can't wait to play it, looks fucking amazing. Also, Destructoid is where I go for gaming news and what not these days.
More vids, starting with the Announcement trailer.
Theres what I got...

^Homepage, shows a 3rd character.
 
I'm impressed by how far it's come from the concept demo on srk almost a decade ago, when I almost volunteered to do some coding for them. Still not a fan of the art design though, but more choices can't be bad for the fg community.
