Out of my rabbid boredom i started searching list of PS fighters over at gamefaqs only to find one that i've never checked before. After some quick dl of the iso (around 170 megs) over at suprnova i checked it out with the good ol ePSX. After a decent amount of playtime i came to the conclusion that this was good fighter, so far i've only programed square, x, triangle, and circle for the ps pad but each button has it's own unique attack and a couple can lead into a fair amount of combo's and special moves. (sort of like LB with no counters) It's supprisingly good especially after i found out that it's a bandai produciton.    I'm really diggin the sprite style cause it gives off kind of the last blade anime type of style with characters dressed stylishly & appropriately for the time period. (game only starts out with 8 but contains 22 in total) the only thing i don't like is the damn kof "striker" esque thing they got going on. If it wasn't for that i'd definately say it's a game anybody should check out. Even with the strikers if your bored and looking for a sweet samurai fighter then i'd recomend it even though it's in japanese ;D |

The anime was brilliant and so i'm assuming that the game must be brilliant too  |

Does this have any relation to the anime? Yeah, probably why it was developed by bandai who usually makes anime shows into video games. (not very good ones imo) so i'm quite supprised it's as good as it is. |

Gonna have to check it out! ;D Kaz It's alot better then all the homebrew/doujin fighters i've played out there but the more i play it i'm starting to the notice the the guilty gear/MvsC esque launching projectiles all over the screen type moves. Basically i'd suggest only getting if you think you won't mind the strikers and guilty gear style gameplay. I'm still enjoying it but sometimes it just makes me think of how much more deep Last Blade/Samsho is. SNK=The King ;D |

Didn't this get a US release not too long ago? Maybe I'm thinking of Inuyasha.  |

^ It's japanese only. Anyways, i decided to play the story mode today... somehow the end boss of this game manages to rank up there with the cheapness of classic snk bosses  |

Been playing it for a bit and I like it. The animation isn't awesome (but it's a PSone game so that's to be expected) but it seems to play fairly well. No idea what I am doing at this stage though, gonna have to check the FAQ's out for it  Music is nice... game is kinda making me want to check out the anime! ;D Kaz |

Unfortunately gamefaqs has nothing really on this game so i wasn't able to find a FAQ. |

Ugh, didn't have a chance to try this today, it will probably have to wait till tomorrow or Friday. I was kindof dismayed to find no FAQs out there for it, but hey, it can't be any worse than Asura Blade, right?

Hmm. Finally got this running, and I'm sortof mixed opinion-wise. It's fun, but the animation's not the best, even for the PSOne. Anybody had more success than me in unlocking characters? By beating the game three times I unlocked the extra poorly animated 'final boss', but it looks like the only other playable characters are the two other mid-bosses, while the rest of the roster are just strikers.
Anybody know more on this than I do?
