What’s really awesome about this hyper stylized anime fight is that it never slows down! In games like the Naruto franchise, which is known for over the top anime craziness, action is always slow and shallow, with button mashing combos that ever so often take a sideline to horrendously extended super moves.

It’s amazing and it really needs to be seen running in full 1080p 60fps to be believed. Even launching an opponent with a “dust” attack and jump canceling it produces an awesome DBZ style “leap off the ground” cinematic with the camera below your character as they take to the air. The camera moves dynamically around as characters perform super moves, complete with speed lines, Japanese onomatopoeia, and more. Character faces are crisp and clear and change based on whether they are getting hit or attacking or even as the momentum of the match swings. It uses 3D models on a 2D plane, just like Street Fighter does, but you’d never know! The characters look like moving 2D anime characters! Everything looks like it comes out of some sort of stylized anime fight.
This is the best looking fighting game on the market - bar none. But this needs to be said: holy hell, this game is pretty! It’s my personal philosophy that graphics are secondary to a good gameplay experience, especially in a fighting game. I usually start by commenting on mechanics, systems, modes, and such, rarely commenting on graphics. This is everything, I repeat, EVERYTHING, a fighting gamer from the original Guilty Gear era wants, and I hope that all fighting games follow suit. Crazy match swings filled with combos that take off tons of life are still the norm, and to top it all off, it’s all done to an incredible speed metal soundtrack. Old mechanics will seem familiar to pros. Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign- is, for all intents and purposes, a traditional Guilty Gear style game updated for current-gen consoles. If you were one of the jaded fighting game pros who looked back on the wonderful days of Guilty Gear Accent Core and thought “man, BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena are fun, but they just aren’t Guilty Gear,” then your day has finally come. Guilty Gear is back, baby, and it is more awesome than ever.
