If all the fighters are girls, how are you supposed to know which is the fast character?

So I've been thinking, it sounds from the Bomb page that the combat system is at least trying, and an all-girl fighter isn't inherently offensive, I think. So if they changed the dumbass title, the marketing and made the fighters not look like the same model mannequins dressed up differently... Well, then noone would notice because this is the internet and we like being angry

I like girly fighters because they are dumb, but this seems too "western". 2lewd!

A girly fighter should be about cute girls doing cute things, like in Arcana Heart, Variable Geo or Koihime Musou... A magical and pure experience!

Dead or Alive is obviously the best fighting game, because it has graphics and realism and while that is known for it's female cast, it's not an all-girl fighter.

I'm going to have to give that Koihime Musou a shot. It seems just the right kind of dumb.

So this is a worse looking Dead or Alive without the male characters? Some of those moves are even straight out of DOA, the first two characters shown had Tina and Kasumi's move-set respectively.

This is not girl fighting, I saw zero amount of hair pulling!

I am with you. None of the arenas appear to be filled with jello, mud or baby oil.

I played this at PAX East a few years ago and it was fun, although back then it was framed as more of a cyber-battle thing with wireframe backgrounds that were way more interesting. That first area with the ruined church looks lifted straight out of a Soul Calibur game (SC2?).

I thought it was canceled, but looking at it now maybe it should have stayed that way. It doesn't seem to play up the sexiness and also doesn't have interesting execution, so it fails on both counts.

Looks like it would be a PS2 or PSP game. It also has no real, I don't know, personality to it. In the face of so many fighters past and present, it looks like it just ignored what exists and did their own, bland, thing.

I dunno. Visually it looks boring, but mechanically it looks kinda interesting. I would like to check a demo and see how it plays.

If this game had a mode that generated stupid dubstep montages like this, I'd be sold.

Today I learned that as long as video game cleavage isn't over-exaggerated, the Giantbomb community can carry on as mature adults. Objectifying women is a-okay, unless *one* pair of boobs look big and jiggly, then many suddenly transform into rabid feminists and frightened children. So strange!

Dragon's Crown, I still love you.

I can instantly tell from these comments who is and is not a fighting game fan.

Man I thought these awful Western knock-off games were a relic of the 90s. Guess the genre really is back in full force!

@mysteriousbob: It does have some sort of weird bio-freaks thing going, doesn't it?

I've seen worse. Still don't understand where the "M" rating is coming from.

Microprose has come a long way since the dark days of X-Com and Sid Meier's Civilization. Good on them!

I learned something from this trailer. And that's the Micro Prose still exists.

Alright Micro Prose! Make Mech Warrior 5 already! MWO just isn't doing it for me. Also comparing this game to DOA5 is just slander and blasphemy. Yes it has a ridiculous and sometimes creepy Japanese vibe and "boob physics" is a thing but that game plays like a proper 3D fighter should. I would recommend DOA5U to anyone - especially at it's price point with all the DLC costumes.

Not saying its a good game, but how is this any different then a bunch half naked jacked up dudes kicking the s**t out of one another? I don's see why its so offensive.

Someone had the fucking audacity to name a thing "Girl Fight."
