BlazBlue X Guilty Gear (Japan: Bureiburu VS Giruti Gia I) is a crossover fighting game developed by Arc System Works and published by Aksys Games for North America, Sega for Europe, and Arc System Works in Japan. Available for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, Project Cafe, the Taito Type X2 arcade board, and Nintendo 3DS (as "BlazyBloo VS Guilty Gear: The 3D Battles"), BXGG is essentially a 2-on-2 brawler that borrows elements specifically from BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger (the idea itself is very similar to the two upcoming games, Tekken X Street Fighter and Street Fighter X Tekken; TXSF utilizes the 3D Tekken graphics and playstyle, with the debut of your favorite characters from Street Fighter, while SFXT handles the more recent graphics and game mechanics from Super Street Fighter IV and introduces Tekken characters.)
Gameplay[]
As I said above, BlazBlue X Guilty Gear is a crossover tag-team fighting game that utilizes Calamity Trigger's overall game mechanics, but with some add-ons: first off, in the middle of executing combos, players can enter in a state known as Kamikorosu (meaning "Death Bite" in Japanese), to which they have invincibility for about a minute and can attack the opponent without hesitation... Once the minute is up, characters go back into their normal selves, and as a result, lose about half a portion of their health and heat gauges. More so, the game includes about three rounds in every normal fight, to which the rounds are, again, called "rebels/duels". What many veteran BlazBlue and Guilty Gear players will notice is the control scheme: it has been revamped, and it's a little more simple than what you're used to. Each character now has even more emphasis on their combos than before, and can even perform them without the use of button mashing (TAKE THAT, SMASH BROS!!!!), and Distortion Drive and Instant Kill techniques can be done any time in a round... That is, if you have a health percentage less than 35%, exactly. Overall, the gameplay mechanics are still pretty close to the first BlazBlue installment, so no complaints here!
