Damn, a Final Fight style game with Guilty Gear level visuals and music would definitely scoot a PSP up a few notches on my "To Buy" list. I'm no longer a fan of 1-on-1 fighters but I do acknowledge that the Guilty Gear games are making Capcom look like drooling morons in the visual department.. since Capcom seems intent on just releasing their old fighters and making new ones with 10 year-old graphics.
