The two stages with the landscape viewed past sunlit stone pillars are of course ā€œinspiredā€ by ā€œthe most popular art print of the 20th century,ā€ Daybreak by Maxfield Parrish

and some of his other stuff; that big jar in the first screenshot for instance could be from his Garden of Allah

and the game itself is pretty much based on Technos Japanā€™s Karate Champ

Giant Bomb has what seems like a pretty thorough gameplay description:

probably gonna be some of the fightman news during evo. Iā€™m hoping arcsys remembers that they said theyā€™d give persona rollback this summer, I kinda want to try that game.

Personally hoping for Tekken 8 but moreso for my arms to finish rehabilitation before anything

With Breakers and Rumblefish getting modern ports I want to see some more off the wall revivals. Like imagine if Asuka 120% Limit Over got a port with rollback.

I love The Karate Tournament! Iā€™m working on something inspired by it (very slowly). I wanna put it 3D with sidestepping and improved controls.

Samurai Showdown 2019 is getting a rollback patch next year and KOF15 is also getting cross platform netplay, also likely next year.

oh boy, persona 4 is extremely a beta right now. my experience last night was some street fighter v like ā€œgetting hit with a full combo in under half a second despite the opponent being in mid-hitstunā€ stuff, and characters teleporting everywhere. either that, or tons of ā€œfailed to connectā€ messages. matchmaking is completely fucked and laggy, so you have to try and get into player lobbies and hope you can actually get in.

some Hugo wall bounce stuff doesnā€™t work the same? iirc

daaaaamn, even melty promo videos get relegated to the metaphorical bathroom

but somehow Granblueā€™s announcement of an online tournament series featuring Mike Ross for a game without rollback makes the main stage
