Arc System Works is a Japanese video game company responsible for quite a few of the modern fighting games. Examples include Guilty Gear, BlazBlue and Battle Fantasia. Most of their games are distributed in North America by Aksys Games. The main team responsible for Guilty Gear and BlazBlue, originally named "Team Neo Blood", was composed of ex-Darkstalkers, Samurai Shodown, Last Blade, and The King of Fighters developers, which explains why many characters in the first Guilty Gear game are blatant Expys or amalgamations of characters from those games, and typical gameplay in their titles tends to be heavily high-damage and combo-oriented, with lots of juggling.
