Is all this from that shoryuken rumor? New guilty gear confirmation http://www.dustloop.com/forums/content.php?124-Mori-at-France-s-World-Game-Cup.-Reconfirms-BBCS2-will-be-DLC-no-date
And regarding the tracing of 3d models http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2011/mar/04/2d-forever-japanese-game-design
quote from the article--"Interestingly, 3D graphics are involved in the BlazBlue process, but only in the development phase. When the initial concept sketches for new characters are produced, the company's artists all have different drawing styles and produce designs of wildly different dimensions. Consequently, 3D rendering software is used to unify the various designs, ensuring they all work to the same scale, and that the physical movements imagined by the art team can actually work in the virtual space. Then it's back to hand drawing all the animations."
