Holy crap they ARE playing Guilty Gear. I hope there's a good Millia in there somewhere.
Oh, and after playing through story mode, arcade, and doing some challenges/random training to pick up combos, I think I figured out what I don't like about Continuum Shift: input lag. I SWEAR that there's twice the delay between you hitting the commands and them actually happening for everything in CS as opposed to CT. Plus, a lot of basic commands just happen to be a lot harder to do even when they're exactly the same command, and I have no idea why that's the case.
