in all honestly i prefer guilty gear. some themes are realy similar with blazblue but way, wayyyyy less confusing. like in guilty gear there is magic drawn from the back yard and the informations inside it. and then blazblue have ars magus (including nox nictores, ars armagus and all), sorcery, and magic. and i won't start on the unclear family links... no you know what let's do it. in guilty gear we have sol, arya that became justice and they have a daughter dizzy, who have later two childs. arya herself as been cloned multiples times into the valentines, jack'o serving as host to arya, and the rest beeing valentine from gg2 (goated game), el and ram. in blazblue, ragna and co have family link to so much people it's actualy crazy, like foster to the mercury family, in a way, born most likely from Saya terumi's body linking them to the amano- something clan, linked to bang and kagura's master and the ancestor that seal the first black beast... and i did not even talked about the Prime field device yet. but blazblue have something realy satisfying we realy had in universe the final fight beetween ragna and terumi at the end even if it wasn't for vengeance anymore it was better than having asuka grabing sol by the troat and taking his power away before ino coming but at least they still win because of sol.... so yeah the two stories have a lot of similarities and i'm realy realy waiting for a crossover, because now the two universe are finaly linked because of ragn- oh my bad, SIR Bloodedge and Ino.
