I have. I've found two machines so far near or in Toronto. Kicked some ass with Taki, who has several new moves and changes. Also beat down a few people with Ivy, who has much cool stuff as well.
Mitsurugi is still as damned annoying as ever. I tried Tarim but I got massacred by lame Mits players so I had to switch to characters I knew to stand a chance.
The English voice acting... personally I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. The shrieks and cries seem to have been left alone. The pre and post-match quotes sound decent (I thought Ivy sounded pretty good), but sometimes the English words used during moves (Taki says "mine" twice during her  G+ I think) sound kinda funked up.
It looks good, not a huge step up from SC but there's some extra polish there if you look hard.
Not sure if many other topics like this had went up, but here's my 2 cents Canadian.
...we need a button-g icon!
I have watched some guy play it. I didn't have time to play it, I'll play it tomorrow if I can.
yep! played it a couple of times at the mall. when i first heard of a "training" option, i wondered how the hell they could do this in an arcade game. but they did it quite nicely. gives you five minutes to try the moves of a character out and people can still jump in if they wanna fight you. but uh, we tried to beat the system and reset the training time (by inserting credits and challenging the trainer a couple of seconds before their time ran out), but if the challenger loses, then the training time is just reset by 60 seconds -_- oh well. you can't really beat the system, but it's still cool
just when i thought "how could they improve the graphics to this series after what they've done to the dc version," i saw the beautiful backgrounds they added. man, that cherry blossom stage is soooooooooo badass!! and the grass that they did in another stage just looks surreal (hah, i'm talking about grass here). those are the only two stages i remember well. i remember they all looked awesome. what was cool was when you got close to the edge of a cliff or whatever, you could see the ground. reminded me of Taiyo high in Project Justice. pretty sweet
as for the gameplay, i only really got to try out Ivy. yep, they changed her quite a bit, but imo it was a change for the good. that "sword-swinging" thing is an interesting stance i've gotten to like
i don't think the machine will get much cash though .. around here, i only saw one other person (other than me and my friends) play it. it was pretty sad
and uh yes. the English voices are kinda scary. they're not as bad as .... say Virtua Fighter 4 ("You knucklehead!! You're way out of your league!"), but nevertheless scary. hopefully, there's an option in the console version to keep that stuff in Japanese
Angry Swordsman: mahahahhahhahaa
H3ll3ent: damn evil swords man
