Well, the game's been out for a while, and I completely forgot about it.

Anyway here are some Nicovideo vids of some guy clearing the single player mode using Galford:

You need an account to watch, but hopefully someone can put them on Youtube or something (I have no idea how to do it).

A couple of new characters are shown: Draco, a gunslinger from the Old West (which makes no sense since cowboys shouldn't exist at the time this game takes place) and the final boss, a guy called Golba/Golva who is voiced by Norio Wakamoto and uses some kind of European fencing style.

I haven't checked to see if there are any actual match vids anywhere.

On a side note, the Nicovideo comments are hilarious.

It's a pity that the characters models aren't as good as the backgrounds. This could have really used cell-shading just like SF4(which i don't think has such great models either, but they definitely have the edge over SSS). The new design are simple but rather effective i think, as they seems to transmit the personality of the characters by using facial features and voices rather than ridicolous clothing (hi soul calibur).
Overall it seems nicely put together from a cosmetic point, but it's just too late for this game now.

So I was looking around Nicodouga and came across some match videos. Actually, there seem to be quite a few...
These seem to be a tournament of some kind:

Trailer.

So what was wrong with this game? To me it looks far more superior to SC and looks nice and quick. I would buy this if it were on ps3
