BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle

BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is a fighting game developed and published by Arc System Works in 2018. It is a crossover between BlazBlue, Persona 4 Arena (Ultimax), Under Night In-Birth, RWBY, Arcana Heart, Senran Kagura and Akatsuki Blitzkampf (Ausf. Achse)/EN-Eins Perfektewelt (Anastasis).

Good Qualities

 * 1) This is the first time that the Under Night In-Birth, Arcana Heart and Akatsuki Blitzkampf (Ausf. Achse)/EN-Eins Perfektewelt (Anastasis) characters have English voices and many of the actors do a great job, especially Ian Sinclair as Gordeau, Ben Diskin as Merkava, and Cassandra Lee Morris as Mika (In fact, many fans have said that Morris' performance made them warm up to Mika, who used to be the game's least popular character). Speaking of which, the BlazBlue English cast returned after it was skipped from BlazBlue Central Fiction, meaning that Es, Naoto Kurogane, and Susano'o finally have English voices.
 * 2) Blake and Yang are free DLC, so you don't have to pay to get all of Team RWBY. They are also already available in the PC version.
 * 3) Every character has amazing and different fighting styles as well as using their original sprites from their own games.
 * 4) Awesome graphics and visuals for 8th gen standards.
 * 5) The "System XX", the final boss in the story mode, is pretty funny. There are also some good interactions between the characters in the different story modes.
 * 6) The gameplay, despite being dumbed down, is still pretty fun and enjoyable.
 * 7) While having a lack of single-player modes, there is survival, battle-royale type mode which can be used as an arcade mode.
 * 8) Amazing soundtrack, with including the RWBY mixes and the Crossing Fate versions of every franchise as well as adding the original songs from their original games.
 * 9) Some characters have a notorious change of personality (without going completely out of character) which makes them more likeable than their original counterparts like Jin and Nine.
 * 10) The base game costs $39.99 and the three DLC packs of 3 characters cost $3.99 (which is around a dollar per character) each, so the full game costs $51.96 which is less than the cost of an average AAA game of $59.99, meaning that the DLCs don't excessively overprice the base game.
 * 11) The Season 2 trailer seems to have won back some people by confirming Teddie and Seth (Two very important characters on the Persona 4 and Under Night In-Birth side, respectively, who were missing), revealing Arcana Heart as the fifth franchise and announcing a sixth & seventh franchise.
 * 12) The version 2.0 update fixed some of the problems like giving the first 4 Season 2 characters (Naoto Kurogane, Teddie, Seth, and Heart Aino) special interactions, finally adding another RWBY character (in this case, Neo Politan), adding more missing characters (In this case, Adachi, Hilda, and Yūki Terumi in his Susano'o form), an additional story mode and confirming that Senran Kagura and Akatsuki Blitzkampf (Ausf. Achse)/EN-Eins Perfektewelt (Anastasis) will be joining.
 * 13) The story has some funny moments, especially the extra episode.
 * 14) Along with BlazBlue: Central Fiction, the game features a rollback netcode, which is a massive improvement for the inferior online mode.
 * 15) *Unfortunately, this applies to the PC version only.

Bad Qualities
While it is an amazing game, it still has enough flaws to be on the sister wiki.

Reception
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle was received very positively by many critics and gamers alike as well as fans of series, but also criticized the game due to a lack of DLC content and as well as being overpriced at launch.

Trivia

 * Monty Oum, the late creator of RWBY, was a huge BlazBlue fan, so it's kind of heartwarming to see the developers of said series include his work in one of their games, even if he himself didn't live to see it. It also shows how far RWBY as a series has come.
