I been playin Last Blade 2 alot more than normal lately (inspired by the Kenshin ova's ;D) & as always with this title been havin a really good time. I love the game for its visuals & style but i've never been very good at it, i find that i can pull some pretty bad ass combo's yet somedays i can play endlessly & never make it to the end boss due to my suckyness & imo uber ai compared to any other neo fighter out there. This is a title that much more enjoyable imo when played vs. a live opponent.
I love the prematch fight screens, (they reign superior to any neo fighter imo) the different variety of katana fighting styles though i hope in the next edition that snkp will concentrate on different varieties of swordsman characters & avoid the lighthearted characters like akari & okina mainly concentrating on more different styles with... uhh... blades
I'd like to see a more of a true sequel with all new levels, music, & many more moves for old characters then what was done with SS5 or should i say SS4X ;D though i'd definately cheer if playmore does with kenshin what they did with the character from akira that ended up k9999. (imagine how sweet it would be if they made a sprite that looked just like kenshin with but just name him different & take off the scar if they have 2 for copyright purposes ;D)
This game has some of the best character animations ( Hibiki Rules
) & beautiful backrounds on the neo-geo but doesn't have the average neo user friendly moves as samurai showdown imo which is a good thing cause it's different but seems to lack a wide variety of moves per character. I know all the basics of each direction plus attack button and the abilities of both the speed & power class but im still feeling there must be something deeper in the gameplay that keeps me on a lower level then some ai controlled characters. 
(yeah... i just can't seem to master this game)
Anyways, now that i've shared my thoughts i'm hoping to get some feedback from my fellow members on what aspects they enjoy of this neo classic & what should be changed or added with the upcoming Last Blade 3

I'm some sort of freak or something, I just never get tired of the game.
