Blazblue Cross Tag Battle

Recommended Posts

Continuing my spree of just picking up every dang 2D fighter on the planet, I obviously grabbed this one on launch.  It's pretty fun.

 

Obviously there's a grab bag of mixed opinions about it if you've been paying any attention to the community, but I think it's perfectly fine.  None of my mains in any of the included series are present right now so I just kinda defaulted to Orie / Kanji and Yang / Kanji.

 

What are your thoughts on the game now that it's out?  If you played or are playing it, what's your team, etc.  Lets get some discussion goin.

I'm salty Vatista is no longer a charge character but aside from that, it's a great game. My main pair is Rachel/Hyde, but I'm looking to replace Hyde with either Vatista or Orie if I buy the DLC. Vatista was my favorite UNIEL but she's a zoner and so is Rachel, whereas Orie was my second favorite and apparently very popular with the community which is nice.

 

Hoping Eltnum from UNIEL gets in with the second wave of DLC, and if a fifth franchise can be added that'd be really neat too.

Well as far as the remaining nine characters go, we already know who they are:

BB:  Izayoi, Nine, Mai
P4A:  Mitsuru, Akihiko, Labrys

UNI:  Yuzuriha, Merkava, Mika

 

Labrys was my sub in P4A and Yuzu is my main in UNI so I'm glad I'll have more options.  But I really want them to eventually add some ultimax characters.  My boy Junpei forever locked in a game he can't succeed in.

Huh, it's already confirmed, rip my hopes. On the other hand, Yuzu is a damn good choice. I've always wanted to main her but found her inputs even harder than Vatista (then again I usually play Hyde instead).

Well, there are rumors that some Senran Kagura characters will be announced.  Some name data was dug up that spoke of Asuka and Yumi, but Shini wrote it off as leftover data from when they were brainstorming which external franchise to partner with.  They eventually chose RWBY, so if he's correct it just means SK was considered at one point but eventually scrapped.

So I've not played a Blazblue game before would this be bad to start with?

Note Tekken Tag Tournament was my first Tekken game so it would be amusingly fitting

late as all hell, but seeing as it's still essentially at the top of the page:

This isn't the standard BB game. which is actually a good thing if you're looking to step into the 2d fighting ring for the first time (or just into the BB ring assuming you are already introduced to the genre) the game's extremely friendly to newcomers, and the combos in general are arguably far easier than even the DBZ auto combos so long as you understand basic FG stuffs.

 

if you're still looking into the game, i'd say get it, but if you're up for cooling your heels, i'd suggest waiting on the extended version to drop (we all know it's going to happen), and picking that up.
