Yeah, I do think the gameplay has its own unique identity, but 2 added meter management for an overdrive attack in addition to running half-sidesteps for added complexity from the prior entry though.

The signature on 2 is an assistant artist and the one on 3 is the lead character designer's. I was amused they had never seen the packaging of their own game they worked on, but that's how busy they were.
