There is nothing in the trailer that proved or disproved this. Except maybe Zato1's very brief appearance at the end, but it was too short to tell whether it was him or Eddie.

Hm. I'm a bit surprised. I thought they were still purely focused on the Blazblue series.
Graphics look a little different / not quite as clean as actual 2D sprites. But it's an interesting visual style.

Yeah, same here. I really do want to see everyone's new designs, though.
I see. It just seems like Millia is younger. So I guess Sin might be in this? And why not use Sol's new costume. And Didn't Ky use a different sword?
Sols sword has 2187 year printed on it, one year after the events of GG2.
Not really, you can read the summary and you won't have to lose time on a mediocre game.

Relax, everything's going to be fine. You don't need to play with that ornery ol' RTS if you don't want to; just read a wiki.

Seems like it takes place after XX (Xrd = XXX)
Which was always a different timeline branch from GG2 IIRC. (There's GG1 -> GG2 and GG1 -> GGX -> GGXX)
Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I could correct me if I have it wrong
Guilty Gear 2 is pretty fun either way

All that means is the other game is different.
Had I known any better, that'd be like you wanting more of the same; be GGXX AC with fancier graphics, which, guess what is what KoF XIII is called at times.
So basically, if SNK does it, it's OK.
I don't recall seeing anything new when KoF XII or XIII were announced, and mentioning backgrounds doesn't help you here as they just looked pretty with nothing that made them stand out.
...which is what I said...
Well if it were an SNK/KoF game, you'd be hyped for it regardless if it were KoF 02 HD Remix 3.0 >_>

I'm still blown away that I can't tell that this is 3D even after being told it is and looking at this and Skullgirls side by side.
Nothing else has done this to me. Even Disney's Paperman or Fire Emblem's cutscenes I was able to tell with quite ease that they were 3D models.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
It's GG -> GGX -> GGXX -> GG2. I remember reading something about how GG2 was the first "true" story sequel to GG because the X games were more about gameplay advancement and side story stuff. I'm not 100% sure about this, though.

Don't like Ky's ponytail but that looks pretty slick, that stage they're fighting in looks awesome! Give me Valentine and you have a buyer Arcs.

I'm still sad about Accent Core on XBL/PSN... It deserved better.

I don't like the proportions of the characters. Sol looks really squat and overall it looks a bit too cartoony. Also...why does Ky have a ponytail? Why Japan?!

Ah I think we read the same thing. Only I interpreted it incorrectly
Growing his hair out for GG2 I guess
Unreal Engine, brah

Haircuts are expensive. And considering that this is Ky we're talking about, it's probably best that he just ties it back; there's probably 20 divergent timelines where Ky goes to the barber and dies in some horrible bang-shaping mishap.

I personally think it looks awesome.

Seriously?
I don't know man.
I could tell this was 3d from the op pics alone. It's pretty obvious.

I'd rather have HD sprites, but this is okay I guess.
EDIT: Okay this holds up really well! Consider me hyped!

This is the best answer Ive read....stilll disappointing though, would love more games to have tekken-like animations

Kiske's hair is stupid looking enough for me to skip this iteration entirely. Sheesh, that is bad.

Word. And SEGA is the publisher, so maybe a Steam release will happen*Time to contact Jeff from Sega*
Just want to add to this: If the animation has distinct keyframes and less inbetweens, it makes it much easier to parse the startup of moves being done. This makes stuff like overheads easier to react to, which in a faster game, helps keep the game fast while making sure you can react to certain things. It also makes it easier to discern between certain move startups. For example, if you want to say, see the startup of a burst, or dragon punch kind of move, and on reaction, do something that evades or beats this move inside a combo (just as an example), the sudden and more understandable change will be easier to parse.
Pretty much: Distinct and high contrast visuals, in both animation and pose/shape/color patterns are easier to react to, which means you can make a game faster without it being frustrating.

For comparaison.
Ass cheeks, compare to that new tech.. Goodbye ghetto sprites, it was nice knowing you.
AtTheGates posted a comparison of Sol's moves from the trailer with his sprite on Dustloop.
