I think inspiration struck me at some point to see what the PSX Gekka No Kenshi (or was it Kishi...I forgot), or Last Blade, might be like. I've seen it on sale for fourty bucks or so, pretty high when I could grab it used for 2000 yen or less I'm sure. I've seen some pictures, but like anything non _vs._ or SFZero 3 and on, it's hard to get too fired up by a still of a fighting game. Are there any fans or detracters for this game? I've seen reviews that tend to hover in the high range (usually from rabid SNK fans), and then low ones criticizing slow and predictable gameplay. Any thoughts from the crowd on the game?

I'm a fan of Last Blade. Especially Last Blade 2, the game play is the best designed ever for a fighting game. I'm an Snk fan. Most SNK games have slow things in them. Some of the moves in the game are slow. Know any of the reviewers/reviews that said the game play was slow and predictable? There is speed mode. No offense, but whoever said it was predictable was probably not that good at the game or playing against a good player, unless maybe he means the computer was predictable. Without having seen the review, my guess is there's something else he didn't really like about the game that biased his view of the game play.
For criticism of the game, I found the characters a little plain. But most newer fighting games don't have that good of character designs. Also the story is brief, but that's also the same in all fighting games. Apparently the focus in many fighting games is supposed to be the fighting, the playing of the main game, and not endings and other extra-gameplay nice things

I guess the guy was a MvC2 fan.... Last Blade 2 is at any rate the anti MvC. It's really a beautifull game, not only the graphics, but the ambiance. (but the PSX version has horrible loading times before each scene, so you will want to skip them. what a shame).
I think the characters are really well done (even though I like some characters but I hate the way they fight, Akari, Yuki or Setsuna for example) and there are some of my favorite SNK characters in it fighter-wise (Zantetsu and Genbu no Okina)
And at last, it is one of the rare fighting games that doesn't have any scenario problems with who did what when and why is who what how. And the last boss doesn't self destruct.
And in the VS screen, Juzô is HOT.
