Played Guilty Gear Xrd last night with some friends and it was pretty dang fun. Reminds me a lot of Blazblue, especially the character designs. I'd be lying if I said I understood how to play entirely, although I think it's nearly impossible to grasp all of the mechanics for a fighting game in your first sitting. I'm a little tempted to buy it myself (we were playing on a friend's copy).
What I really liked about it was that it uses 3D models for the characters, which I'm usually not too crazy about with fighting games, but the way Guilty Gear pulled it off was pretty neat. Wouldn't mind if other fighting games used the same style.
The whole experience was also a little odd because the only other Guilty Gear game I've played was a demo of the first game for PS1 when I was like, four, and some of the sound effects in the game sounded almost exactly like the ones in the original.
