I've been playing this one off and on for the past year or two. And it's great stuff, a crossover tag-team fighter featuring characters from Blazblue, Under Night In-Birth, Persona 4 Arena, and RWBY (and some other IPs if you pick up all the DLC packs). Like all the Blazblue games, the character animation is amazing and the controls are fantastic. But also, there are a ton of combos to learn and no matter how many hours I put into it there's no way I'll never not be insta-killed in any online match against literally anyone on the planet.

Still though, great fun! And technically the combos are on the simpler side of things, so if you do want another fighting game to mess around in with friends, this is one of the best options available currently. (And, you know, you all are cool with anime nonsense, because ALL the Chunibyo dials are cranked to 11 here.)

Decided to finally bite the bullet and buy Blazblue Cross Tag Battle while the deluxe edition was on sale (PS4). I remembered playing the demo back when it first came out, and enjoying it. And Blazblue has become my favorite for ongoing 2D fighters, it seems. I love how ridiculous all the characters are.

This entry is particularly good for me. Throwing in characters from other solid 2D fighters is great, and since they're all over-the-top anime style they all fit in together perfectly. (I also loved Persona 4 [and 3].) The tag team system is a lot of fun, and I appreciate that it's easier to pull off combos in this one compared to most other games in this genre. I recognize I'll always be hopeless against the veterans online, but I can still have a good time.
