Blazblue Cross Tag Battle.

Not kawaii enough for more rwby characters though apparently.

idk, maybe they are going to get all the RWBY characters in their own video o3o.

Here's the thing.

They said that Next Impact is in October.

October is when Volume 5 of RWBY drops.

So, they'll probably give us more RWBY characters then.

I personally want Yang, so that I can smother my opponents with breasts.

I want Yang also... And Nora.
Also, please no spoilery stuff for RWBY T~T I still haven't even finished Volume 3...
 
Well given this type of game, ngl, I'm only expecting 4-5 totally new characters. Given that most of these games add 4-5 new chars per each new installation that makes sense. Additionally, a lot of these chars are getting altered movesets to go with the new control scheme and game flow, so that's already a lot of work on fixing up these chars. As it is, I'm thinking we'll get 1-2 more RWBY chars, maybe a throwback character like Eltnum or someone from Battle Fantasia, MAYBE Sol just made SOLely for this game (heh) and maybe someone from Arcana Heart. Maybe an Original too if we're reaching.

As far as I know, the currently announced franchises are all we're gonna get, so there's no chance of Sol, Battle Fantasia characters or anyone from Arcana Heart (remember, Examu owns those guys, not ASW). Eltnum might be possible, but only because she's technically a different character from Sion, and I still have doubts due to her ties to Melty Blood and Tsukihime. I'm also not expecting the sprite editing to get so crazy that movesets will change heavily. Otherwise, what would be the point of reusing those sprites in the first place?

I also expect 4-5 completely new characters to show up, but that's more of a minimum. Unless they include a new character for each of the factions as a teaser for what's next, I expect most of, if not all of the newbies to come from RWBY. Going by the 4-5 character minimum, the rest of team RWBY and Roman Torchwick would be most likely to appear without spoiling anything important.

Thats a fair assessment but recreating a classic character from a lesser franchise could be a huge curbeball and shouldn't be totally swept from the table. Its a possibility. We still don't know the extent of RWBY's involvement. For all we know it could just be a cameo by her, so i wouldn't just jump to the conclusion to be RWBY chars. We could see a P5 char given how successful it was as a newcomer, or maybe a cameo from a non fighter or something. I just want ppl to keep their minds open to interesting other directions instead of just clamoring for RWBY chars so they dont get disappointed when it doesnt happen or maybe even more hyped when it does happen cause we know jack squat rn
 
It would be a curveball to have any of those get involved, but Guilty Gear isn't exactly a lesser franchise, Battle Fantasia was a one and done that got boatmurdered by SFIV, and Arcana Heart would require Examu's involvement, and if they're not subtle enough to hide Rooster Teeth's involvement in the pre-Ruby splash screen for XTB (seriously, check the copyrights), then they're not subtle enough to hide Examu's potential involvement, either. Besides, right now, the announced franchises are the only ones planned to be in the game.

P5!Joker would be the most expected not-RWBY new character to show up, but I don't think he'd appear unless it's in a non-playable capacity or the other main franchises involved also get a new character specifically for XTB, which doesn't seem feasible to me due to art style differences and such. More RWBY characters just seems to be the safest option in terms of completely new characters to expect.
 
Franchises dont mean no cameo char...a one off is still very possible and shouldnt be totally swept from the board.
 
aaaawwwww yeah Red Like Roses Part 2. I completely forgot the possibility of RWBY Music making it into the game. Hope we get something like I'm The One


Also "FIIIIIIRRRREEE!!!!" is probably going to be a thing. I hope it is. RWBY's English sounds odd with everyone else speaking straight Japanese.
 
I love Ruby's voice, but omg, with all the fast cancels its gonna grate on my ears really fast lol.
 
OK looking at it again, Ressonance Blaze seems to be like the Overdrive feature thats prominent in BBCP and CF, as seen by Jin doing the Overdrive version of his Distortion FDrive, but it seems Health is also being restored slowly as well.

Which means Yu is also going to receive an Overdrive of sorts and....oh boy. If any of you remember Yu from his P4A games hes gonna be even more powerful then he was before.

EDIT: HOLY SHIT THE DAMAGE. Watch what happens as soon as Jin Tags in, hi health bar is almost completely destroyed by a BNB into a DHC.

EDIT EX CROSS TEKKEN: So it looks like the tag(?) meter bar breaks once Ressonance gauge has been depleted? It looks shattered at the end of the match.

I love the new before battle line. Also, did Ragna just fucking tag in from the air?!
 
That gameplay looked amazing I can't wait to see more characters.
 
Did anyone else notice that not only are their assists, but Ragna used like 3 different assists when called in?

They've literally already said there are assists.

They probably have different inputs like in DBFC either forward/down/neutral + assist.
 
I'm seriously loving the "Can't escape from crossing Fate" thing.

as much as I'm a fan of RWBY, I'll admit, I do find her voice off putting.. i don't understand why they didn't just get the Japanese actress, as there is being one
 
Unless it turns out that we'll have options to set all individual characters voices to English or Japanese, or the story plays with the fact that some characters speak English and others speak Japanese, it's gonna be a little jarring for me. That's just a small nitpick for me.

Although I do notice that there's an ETC category in the character select menu...

There's also 7 character slots on each side, I hop[e that's placeholder, I mean, 7x4 is still 28, but I'd want a lot more Blazblue or Persona characters instead of just 7.
 
I know I've been all "eng dub for Central Fiction" but, OH GOD PLEASE LET ME CHANGE RUBY'S VOICE TO WHATEVER ELSE THAN WHAT I'M HEARING RIGHT NOW.

Nope.

Now I hope shes the best character in the game so you have to hear it x10
 
No Persona breaks

Cross Slash at the start

this here is persona town babyyyy

They already said that it’s just a placeholder.

They also said that Blazblue will have the most reps.
 
From what i can tell theres also an Etc area for the cast meaning may get cameo chars still yet. Plus there's probably gonna be releaee chars so im sure we'll see maybe 1 per game show up as dlc by release
 
I see "Random" there.

edit: Watched some more matches with Ruby. Honestly, I would of figured she'd be a stance char, since her Scythe can also change into a rifle.

edit 2:
at 15:37 (if the link doesn't fast forward to it), you can see Ragna using several different styles of assists for sure, along with different tag styles.

Yeah, 7 Characters from each series PLUS 7 "Etc." Characters that could come from almost anywhere that Arc Sys has made games for.

Guilty Gear will take one of those slots, but who is anyone's guess.

As for the RWBY Characters, lock down 3 of those slots for Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long. Factoring not having too many similar characters, that would logically state that Bullet and Mitsuru Kirijo, being a punching Brawler and a Rapier user respectively, will not be representing BlazBlue and P4A. Now before anyone brings up Satonaka Chie, she's primarily a Kicker, which means if she makes it, Mercury Black is off the possible list for one of the remaining three RWBY Slots.

Of course I could just as easily be wrong, and a couple similar weapons appear. Though I ask you this: would you rather have Nu/Lambda or Penny if you had to pick between the two?
 
Didn't they already confirm guilty gear would not be included in this game?
 
I believe they did, but at the same time, seeing one character get added as a guest isnt out of the realm of possibility. We really don't know the rules aside from 7-ish chars from each represented franchise and a slot marked ETC that can be basically anything they want.
 
Please, forget about select screen and ETC line. It is a placeholder. Whole select screen is a placeholder. ETC line exists just for random select. This line won't be in final version of the game.
 
Mmm....Nah. Such a line for characters would not be in there unless it had a reason. Random will most likely be another way.

We just have open speculation now.

Okay, but why even have a fifth line at all?

Why not just have a random select slot somewhere else on the character select screen?
 
i would like to think the Ect. Line is for all the weird random ips that Arc owns. Like Double Dragons, that would be cool to see them come into a tag team fighter, Billy and Jimmy working together to destroy everyone. Oh, or maybe River City Ransom?
 
I'm still having trouble with the concept. Why these 4 series were used as the the main basis for the crossover. 3 of them are made/publsihed by arc, but rwby is random (even though mori is a fan of the show).

I really hope they add outside characters beyond the four series, even if it's only characters from games created/published by arc.

Maybe if Autumn isn't so stingy, maybe the game can get a SG character with a arc system works made sprite to fit the aesthetic. :P

About the gameplay, I love it. The gameplay is chaotic, the team super thing is so friggin hype and the speed is perfect.

(This game is a better MVCI than MVCI)

Mori and Mounty were big fans of each others work and before he passed away Mounty said one of the things he would want to do for RWBY was a fighting game in Blazblue's style. After having RWBY palettes in BBCF I suppose this is also a tribute to him as well
 
Got some new characters introduced:
But what the hell is with that pronunciation of BlazBlue? Do all RWBY actors have speech impairment?
