Arc System Works is a Japanese video game company responsible for quite a few of the modern fighting games. Examples include ''[[Guilty Gear]]'', ''[[~~Blaz Blue~~]]'' and ''[[Battle Fantasia]]''. Most of their games are distributed in North America by [[Spell My Name with an "S"|Aksys Games]]. The main team responsible for ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' and ''[[~~Blaz Blue~~]]'', originally named "Team Neo Blood", was composed of ex-''[[Darkstalkers]]'', ''[[Samurai Shodown]]'', [[Last Blade]], and ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' developers, which explains why many characters in the first ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' game are blatant [[Expy|Expys]] or amalgamations of characters from those games, and typical gameplay in their titles tends to be heavily high-damage and combo-oriented, with lots of juggling.
