DI: We don't really have a sense of how popular fighting games are in the states, so it's tough to know how much demand there would be for accurate online fighting. We know the FPS is king there, and also that Soulcalibur, which I personally think is junk, has a big following.
Arc System Works is a Japanese developer best known for its 2D fighting games such as BlazBlue and the Guilty Gear franchise.

I just wish the machine in London would start working :(

It's this which pisses me off, not the latter. I hate how all these Japanese developers seem not to give a fuck about what's happening elsewhere.\\
I still don't know what to make of BlazBlue, it does not look current gen enough for my liking. KoF12 looks much better.
As far as fighting games in America are concerned, Street Fighter 2 HD Remix has shown that there is still demand for this type of game and set the bar for online. After playing BlazBlue at an arcade, I'm a bit worried about how latency will affect that game when/ if they take it online. I never got to play GGX2#reload or Battle Fantasia's online so I don't know how good Arc System Works is in that field.
@Coldbrand
GGX2#reload is on the Xbox Originals download list if you want to go for that.
@Linkyshinks
BlazBlue looks good in pictures, but it looks amazing in motion. Those backgrounds are 3D by the way, which makes the perspective change realistically when the camera scrolls.
