Persona 4: Blazblue Edition

A trailer has been released for the new Persona 4 fighting game, and I’m just going to come out and say it: this is Persona 4 characters ported into the Blazblue engine. And I have absolutely no problem with that.

But look at them. P4’s protagonist looks like a cross between Ragna and that annoying doll character I could never play as. Yosuke looks to pretty much be Jin. Chie looks to have some Noel in her, though this might just be because everyone’s beating the shit out of her; I used to play Noel, and that was a pretty familiar sight. As far as cast list, those three and Aigis (apparently “Aegis” in Japanese; who knew?) are confirmed, though all the P4 characters are shown via silhouette which makes them pretty likely.

Oh, and Teddie as El Presidente. Probably the best thing ever.

Honestly, I don’t know about you, but an Aksys P4 fighting game sounds like pretty much the best thing ever. I’m just hoping that Teddie plays like Arakune and distorts himself so that his physical form rivals the horror that is his personality. I just want to see him stretch and teleport, and possibly consume people with horrible insect swarms. And hear Rise tell me to keep my hands off the panda.

Basically, lots of possibilities here.
