GG had different bad guys through the titles, but it all comes down to everyone running after 'that man'. BB just everyone runs after Hazama since forever. Both have unnecessary comedy-relief side characters (chipp/jam & bang/tao etc.) and I guess it would work if they made a complete self-parody out of the game and just have all the characters jerking off, similar to how type moon handled their 'crossover' anime.
Gameplay-wise it's the real shitter. If you base it on the GG system you lose sales from the BB base. If you base it on the BB system you piss off all the GG players by ruining their characters. The problem is that the whole GG cast and the way they handle the engine are ridiculously overpowered in comparison to the rather slow and limited BB cast. If you look at Chipp and the borderline unfair tools he's been given you realize that Bang/Tao (Both characters based on Chipp, although Tao more gameplay-wise.) are purposefully designed to be a toned-down version, much more user-friendly both to play as and play against, while Chipp is still considered one of the weakest characters in GG. Now how do you get these two characters into the same game? You inevitably piss off at least one side.
I like the idea of a carnival-phantasm like anime for GG And BB. That'd be hilarious!
Also yeah.. GG characters were ridiculously OP, especially when you got into those boss-fights with unlimited mode (I'm looking at you I-NO and SOL) Like, flat out those fights were difficult, yet fun and amazing at the same time. Whereas BB has it toned down immensly, and even Ulimited Mode-fights that put you at a disadvantage are easily handled.
