Penny Arcade - PATV - First 15 – Nitroplus Blasterz
Gabe and Tycho play a game for 15 minutes and then judge it accordingly. This week they play Nitroplus Blasterz. You can watch the full length version of this episode here.
Gotta admit, that started getting pretty cool when Mecha Rocket Jesus came out. Loved the KO where Jerry sucked Mike into a blood pus ball.

Looked fun to play and was fun to watch. Couple of skeevy character designs, but I read its all characters from various other properties like an anime girls Smash Bros, so that's not really the game's fault.
It is indeed a crossover game. Nitroplus is a publisher of visual novels. It also has a couple guest characters through other connections (like Saber, because Urobuchi wrote Fate/Zero in addition to several of the Nitroplus titles in the game).
More importantly, however, this is a five button game. They managed to find 3 buttons. One of the ones they missed (X by default) is the dodge roll and barrier guard. (This is why Ouka's projectile spam seemed untouchable.) I guess it's a good thing they never managed to perform a 1-bar super or connect with a 3-bar, despite all of them having universal motions, because most of those are effectively win buttons without that.

I did recognize Amy from the anime 'Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet', which was spectacular.
