BlazBlue location test videos

Neo-Arcadia has put up a couple of links to some reports of this past weekend's BlazBlue location test. From the early numbers, Arc System Works should be rather satisfied with the turn out (and general response) that the game has received so far. A French write-up of the event can be found over at the Versus Fighting Club forums. Based on the commenter's statements and those found at Mainichi Daily News, the play queues for BlazBlue reached upwards an hour or two, with some locations snaking out the entrances of the arcades.

I've embedded a couple of the videos below while I look for a few more sources to report on the location test. The Versus Fighting Club post which I found via Neo-Arcadia is a good start, but I'm hoping that someone has done a bit more in-depth analysis on the playable characters (which may be a bit of a pipe dream due to the nature of location tests). The game looks amazing at least, even with the shoddy YouTube quality...
