Had some friends over last night and played some Guilty Gear on PS2 (wow, awesome 2D throwback!).  Then, we moved on to play some BlazBlue with not Ky Jin and the gang ^^  Afterwards, I showed them some videos from Persona 4 Arena since they hadn’t played Persona before but have heard about the fighting game coming out so were curious.  I was like, “Think Guilty Gear with Persona characters, seriously,” and we had fun comparing characters (Chie has wicked kicks like Jam, Kanji’s brofist of DEATH for an Instant Kill, the antics of Faust Teddie, ect.)  I also got to be a spaz and point out characters, since I had one of my friends draw pics of Kanji and Naoto for me.

Me:  See!  That’s Kanji!  With the chair!

Friend:  Ah… AH!  Brofist of DOOM!

Me:  And that’s Naoto!

Friend:  I see, oh!  I recognize the hat!

Playing Guilty Gear and BlazBlue was pretty good practice for Arena, I think, though my friend completely kicked my ass  ^^;;;  I’m so out of practice!  I’m going to have to fix that before arena comes out, thank goodness Anime Iowa is before the game comes out so we can get together again and play  :)  We’ve already made plans to get together for Geek.Kon and play P4 Arena.  Huzzah for fighting game parties!
