P4A isn't the best game to compare it to, while it's similar in style, the gameplay is much easier.
Seriously, Standing AAAA pops out a combo, and if your "SP gauge is full enough it will even finish with an SP skill" Now that's what I call noob friendly. Anyway, blazblue might be one of the toughest, most diverse fighters I've ever played. I can't really find anything to compare it to. While I highly recommend it, you should know before hand it require a lot of time and effort. (You see the people here saying they suck at it?)
