Arcana Heart

I guess this is the future of fighting games, I think arc systems made this. It reminds me alot of melty blood with the whole "Anime Girls Fighting".

looks like the past

Looks like a cheap Guilty Gear rip-off...

Seems like there's nothing futuristic about that.

Agreed with Skeets. Looks like Guilty Gear, only... not good.

If that's the future of fighting games, put me in a time capsule and call Doc Emmit Brown.

anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

ugh.. this one has some personal peeves of mine...

-silly anime girls with squeaky voices
-squishy sparkle bubble nonsense

its like 2 steps from being a sailor moon fighting game

I heard rumblefish was a cool fighter.. but I never played it

It's a generic doujin fighter, I hate the fact this game gets more attention than Super DragonBall Z.

just from seeing them, I'd much rather play Chou DBZ by a landslide

Maybe Arc should team up with capcom and SNK and make the ultimate fighting game >_<!... /sigh... yeah I know ....it'll never happen -_-;

I picked this game up a couple of days ago. Honestly guys, it's actually pretty good. I can see why it has garnered the attention it has. Those comparing this series to Guilty Gear must remember that Guilty Gear has had many more games on which to perfect its craft. Arcana Heart was extremely well balanced after only one game and a patch. How many Accent Cores has Guilty Gear needed to get there?

I'm a fan of Guilty Gear too, but give Arcana Heart a chance people.

I played it as well just recently... I think its onto something good... but a few of the Arcanas are just way overpowered... lightning and time to name a couple... I think with some more 'patching'... arcana can be a mainstay.. atm I just think its a 'kill some time' fighter more than anything

We need more fighting game fans...

Did you like the combo system? The physics of the fighting is a little slower than that of Guilty Gear but that's not a bad thing. The homing cancel and air dashes allow characters who need it(Heart) to get damage without overpowering characters who already do big damage (Kira).

I've been seeing Arcana show up at events featuring games like Street Fighter, King of Fighters, and other big 2-d names so maybe it'll become a mainstay. I really hope it does as it is one of the more solid fighters of all the recent series. I think it needs a bigger push for it's console version though. It's easy for it to get recognized in Japanese arcades, but the arcade scene is virtually dead here in the states.

Yeah.. I was actually considering picking up the US version since its only 30 bucks 🙂

My Arcade has AH2, which looks like fun.
I'm too lazy to try and learn it though...

Satsu, is that Ky Kiske in your signature?

It is.

Yus.. I actually like order-sol the most.... but I'm unskilled in the ways of pho'o'shoppe

Bach. Ky's the coolio-ist.

Made that a while ago.

Also, Slayer is cooler than Ky or Sol.
