Please don't tell me this is the One Piece game that's only going to have a digital copy. It looks awesome.

Pretty impressive. Still more of a fan of the Unlimited style of things, but the variety of moves and flows doesn't look bad for Zoro (who was awesome in the Unlimited series and Gigant Battle series).

A shame that this is going the route of many other anime games, having a fight that you are supposed to lose but presenting it in a fashion where you can easily dominate. Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure decided to lower your health massively to portray Piccolo's advantage to the point where you need to be very good with your parries to win (?). And it still results in an absolute defeat.

See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur4VrfT5HeA

Alternatively, they could portray fights of this nature as desperate (you get punished by parries and counters), survival (they have too much health, do too much damage and you win if time runs out or something) or let you play with the winner (see BT3 letting us use Cell to crush the heroes).

I guess I can't fault the cutscene for being bad though... <_<

Digital only in North America, assuming that Persona 4 Arena's poor choice doesn't catch on, you should be able to import a European copy or Japanese copy if you want to own the game on a disc.
