It's tough CUZ--

-A lot of people are burned out on SF4 after months of play time
-BlazBlue just came out.  It's awesome, but will it last like SF does?
-SF4 has more characters
-BlazBlue has less, but far more variety between them
-3D models allows for extra outfits, sprites just have colors
-SF4's controls are more relaxed, but BB only uses four buttons, so any controller works nicely

But the big thing here is that when it comes to online, BlazBlue SPANKS EVERYTHING.  EVERYTHING.

Still early to call it (way early since I've never played KOF12), but I don't thing BB can knock off SF4 as far as total package goes. I like what I'm hearing about the online because I really don't see this getting much play locally (aside from story mode).

KOF I am still looking forward to, but with measured expectations. I don't really see KOF melting face again until 14 (13 if we're lucky).

Can't vote for KOF XII since it's not out at home and I haven't played it mayneses, but I am worried about it based on all the negative feedback it has gotten.  Plus SNK's XBLA net code is uh......well, let's just say that BlazBlue raised the bar a shitload and KOF has a lot to live up to now.

There seems to be no clarification on this.  First it was a supposed-delay to August in the States and Europe, then just Europe.  I don't care since I'm getting the cheapest version possible, which seems to be the Korean version at the moment ($49.90), and AFAIK Asia still gets it in a few weeks' time.

BlazBlue isn't out in Europe so Street Fighter IV wins by default.

I played both and it didn't strike me until playing both, but Street Fighter is so much faster.

I haven't played BB, but SF4 is a pretty slow game in comparison to some shit like Super Turbo, KOF 98 and Mahvel.

Yeah I may wait for impressions on KOF's netcode before I jump in. I don't have a 360 to try Garou and KOF98 but I have had experience with fighters with shitty netcode in the past (kaillera many years ago before p2p kaillera and GGPO were developed) and it's no fun at all!

I do have Blazblue on it's way to me though  :D
