How come I've never heard of this series until now and what can I expect from it when compared to Guilty Gear and Blazeblue?
Don't buy it.
There's a new one coming out in like two months.
You never heard of it because you're a faggot. UNIEL is great. It's similar to Melty Blood, made by the same people.
It's pretty cheap in PS3. I just got it a few months ago and people were still playing. Worth checking out, it's a great time. The sequel is going to make it completely skippable though.
Wait for JP version of UNIEL ST coming out in a few days
When is [ST] going to be listed on JP PSN? The nips do stupid shit where it goes unlisted for a day unless you preordered and I want to avoid that
