The Spice of Life
BlazBlue's gameplay is all about insane combos, outrageous special attacks and downright addictive brawling. Battles are rendered with beautiful hand-drawn characters and animations that really come to life in HD. The level designs are incredibly detailed as well: the multilayered stages beautifully mesh vibrant 3D and 2D backgrounds into unforgettable arenas.
BlazBlue's actual combat engine is similar to Guilty Gear's in the sense that it's easy to pick up, but difficult to master. Lighting-fast attacks demand careful precision, and while amateur players can get by with button-mashing, advanced players will no doubt take the time to learn the unique body-language, attack patterns and combat style of each character. It's an incredibly rewarding system and it'll especially pay dividends if you want to take your game online. You'll also need to develop your skills to survive the computer controlled characters-they aren't pushovers by any means.

I like it more than Guilty Gear!
The characters feel more balanced and I even like some of the designs more.
