From the makers of BlazBlue comes a Persona 4 fighting game

Which sounds good to me. I love Guilty Gear and BlazBlue, and Arc System Works looks like it’s aiming for something similar with Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena (details on the characters, their moves, and their awakening attacks over at Siliconera). Who’s interested?

I enjoy other fighting game series—such as Soulcalibur, Tekken, and Street Fighter—but they don’t captivate me as well as Guilty Gear and BlazBlue do. The characters are unique and interesting, spout hilarious one-liners (in the case of BlazBlue, anyway), and can unleash some seriously awesome moves—in other words, they have more personality than they do an anatomically incorrect amount of muscle.
