HOOORYYY SHIET!!
But seriously, anyone here getting this game?, It just dropped today on North American PSN for 50$ (I shall be getting it quite later on Tonight.)
I myself was going to import it many many many many times, but by the time i got around to it a NA release date was already set so i figured i'd wait a little longer. ;)
WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY!!!!!!!!!!!!

If i were to give a quick analysis based upon playing the demo and watching higher level matches it sort of plays like the Street Fighter IV series but 3D planed and also focuses on a more fundamental based play. It's still like SFIV in the sense it's more about strategy than long ass combos, even though there are long ass combos and damaging combos through the use of the Flash Cancel which uses 1 bar of meter to cancel the frame/animation/recovery of whatever special move or normal you choose. (on or after) Which can even make unsafe moves/blockstrings safe or give you Okizeme setups in certain situations.

For any other info the wiki has quite a sufficient amount regarding the game and character list. The picture above is missing the DLC characters and some characters are hard to spot.

Kuroi_Aima and Boodendorf on Youtube has alot of good gameplay footage to get a feel for the higher level play of All Star Battle. In my opinion anyway..

Here's one of Kuroi's newer videos of him and Boodendorf!
Boodendorf isn't using his main though.
