DeadMeat (TM) writes "According to GameForms, Sammy announced that it will be working with Capcom on arcade versions of a forthcoming Sammy vs. Capcom 2D fighting game, as well as a solo Sammy project, a four-player Guilty Gear fighter sequel. Screenshots of the latter are available from Impress Game Watch, with presumably more information about the announcement for those who speak Japanese."

Great Potential

[Momomoto]

Assuming that Capcom updates their sprites so they'll look good beside the lavish characters from Guilty Gear, this game could be a great boon to the fighter genre. Capcom fighters get all of the exposure, simply because they're made by Capcom, while deep, beautifully-drawn games like the Guilty Gear series only get recognition from the hardcore fighter fans.

I do, however, have the sinking feeling that the game will follow the Capcom fighting system more closely than the GG system. No double jumps, air dashes, or False Roman Cancels :(
