Why BBTAG Won't Die 

I played and still play bbtag on the switch, and man it’s kinda strange when you can go into a lobby and it’s the same 20 people playing and they remember you. Made me feel like a key part of the community despite not being the best at the game

"why BBTAG won't die" Also me standing in empty online lobby in BBTAG: 🗿🗿🗿

scoop: Why BBTAG Won't Die 2024: Yeah is still death

I dunno anything about this game but Adachi is in it and honestly I think thats why the game is still alive tbh

This is my first, and favorite fighting game. I have clocked in over 1300 hours on steam and its still the one I have the most fun with even after playing GGST, Uniclr, CF, MBTL and some others. I hope this game keeps going with whatever strength it has left, its such an important game to me personally.

BBTAG was a great experience. I still remember getting really hyped when 2.0 was announced, and even if I don't really play it nowadays, I still think the game is cool. I'm hoping there's some more BlazBlue stuff in the future too. I really love playing Centralfiction, even if I'm really bad at it Plus I wanna see more of Makoto cuz she's a cool character LMAO

Despite my hatred for BBTAG, I hope it does succeed since so many people enjoy it

BBTAG is literally the reason why I got good at playing fighting games, especially maining Akatsuki. I was so obsessed with Akatsuki, and still am, that I literally learned how to do combos and learning how to read inputs for him lol

Honestly glad to hear BBTAG is still going, remember a game isn't dead till it has no one playing it.

Dude I love BBTAG. (Proud Akatsuki/Heart). So seeing people still playing it makes me so incredibly happy.

Arc System also helped Wayforward who are the makers of the Shantae series make RWBY Arrowfell which is an action platform game so Rooster Teeth have given Arc System the license to make RWBY games and since most of the people who still play BBTAG are RWBY fans it could be possible that they’re testing the waters for a RWBY fighting game and how much people would buy it.

I may not like BBTAG, like at all, but I do hope this game does see continued success, mostly because I've come to love BlazBlue most of all and I appreciate the dubbing work that went into this game

Haven’t gotten into bb tag cause I wanted to play older fighting games first but seeing the continued success of it, I really really hope we can get an ARCSYS complete crossover with guilty gear and all the other anime franchises

I just started playing BBtag last month on Xbox game pass, and I love it. I will keep playing it and any other BB titles.

I am so sad we didn't get a second character for Arcana Heart and Senran Kagura.

This news make me happy, I got into the game fairly recently and it's nice to see ASW willing to keep the game alive.

I've recently picked this up to play with friends, and it super unique and extremely fun. It's crazy how fast matches are over too.

I honestly expected more from the game, especially when it was announced that RWBY characters would be added in. I immediately thought they would add characters like Pyrrha, Cinder and Adam. Not only that but I also thought they would add more Senran Kagura and Arcana Heart characters. Instead the game was half baked and that’s what killed it for me.

I know this has been a very polarizing game in the blazblue community, but I really like this game. It got me into the blazblue franchise, which I am loving as I play it. I get the issues people are having, but I wish they kept going with supporting it and added so many more characters. It's so fun

I don't play it the same amount as I used to, but I still greatly enjoy this game. I'll still never forget seeing that trailer at EVO 2018, thinking to myself that it might be time for me to dip from the genre, only for that trailer to pull me back in, lol!

Amazing video! BBTAG was and still is an amazing game to me, so many good memories playing it with friends and I hope people that try out the game have a fun time with it.

Great video. I enjoyed the game back in the day and I’m glad to see it’s still going to wider exposure so that others can enjoy it.

all 25 players are keeping the game alive

3:40 I mean the Failure of Blazblue's 'Totally Not Fate Grand Order Inspired' Mobile Game may have had a hand in this.

Bbtag is one of those games that is so batshit insane you cant help but love it

2:29 That yell caught me off guard, loved it.

I had a lot of fun playing with my friends back in the day even though i only had the small base game back then It was bad when i only played blazblue but now that I've played all the fighters it's even cooler to see all these characters together

I started playing Bbtag recently when I noticed it on gamepass. However as someone whos nervous about getting steamrolled by hardened veterans all I've done is lab combos in training mode and i have to say this games combo game is SMOOTH AS BUTTER. I havent watched any tutorials or anything, but even a casual like myself can find decent routes and excecute them without too much technical difficultly, just need the fundamentals down and you've got yourself some combos to try out.

100% assure you the funny truth man and his gang of fellow highschoolers are keeping the game alive

I tried it back in 2020 (back when I was new to fighters) and wasn't a big fan. It's nice to see it still get love

Dude on xbox the game has been getting triple digits daily

Great video! It's been a while since I've checked in. You've come a long way over the last 2 years homie. About to binge your stuff. Keep it up!

Honestly i love this game. Found out about it at my local anime con and played it since then. It was so fun and whem i realized the local scene had little to no players i continued to introduce it to many of my friends. After playing the game so many times i never got tired , easy combat, cool d pad combos and colorful characters with recognizable faces. I was suprised it hadnt grown bigger. As a persona and rwby fan i did nothing more besides wait for the day that somewhere out the darkness people would give it the break it deserved. With so much potential i figured rwby could gain an entire roster. Team JNPR, cinder, maybe even the maidens as dlc. Regardless of the vast wasteland that has become a scattered community im still rooting for this game. Maybe someone one day might even pick up this model and start another bb tag w a bigger roster:(. Nonethe less this game always has my support

I just finished Platinuming the game today, all I can think about was wanting more in this game even years later.

Noticing that in the background that is me Fighting against you lol. I use ragna and Yu together. Adachi and Gordeau. Small world.

The first BlazBlue game I played was Calamity trigger and I really liked that game idk why I stopped playing, I recently got back into the game like a week ago but I was already intrested in cross tag because it had rwby characters so i had been thinking about blazblue for a while. I'm thinking about playing the other games as I'm having a lot of fun with Cross and did really enjoy trigger

I hope that with the coverage and amount of people still enjoying the game, that we get another situation like GBVS:Rising where we get a mega update, one thing that I would like for them to do is finish the arcade mode that was reportedly in production but left unfinished. Would give the Game Corner an actual purpose, don’t know what else they could add but here’s hoping.

I'll always love BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle! It's now 2024, and I still play this game on my PS4 from time to time.

Something can't die if it's already been dead all along. But yeah, ASW doesn't seem to care about the game, if they ever did care. From the rushed development, to the lackluster support, to just how incomplete so much still feels...they've mishandled whatever potential this crossover could have had. It just remains as a joke for people to point and laugh at. And really, it's not surprising. Ever since ASW got "Guilty Gear" back, that's basically been their main priority. Even back with "CF", there were notable downgrades or outright missing aspects coming from "CP". "BBTAG" had even more issues, to the point Mori got demoted afterwards. And after "Dark Wars", it crashed and burned so badly that Mori ended up leaving the company. The closest thing we have to a continuation is "Chaos Effect"...a rogue-like outsourced in China. ASW themselves have nothing to do with it besides granting the license. This has been a trend of them increasingly not caring. I wouldn't be shocked if the only reason they even acknowledge the game is so that they can do the bare minimum with it. They can cheaply slap the game around on whatever for some extra sales.

It was the first game I had on Switch, I bought it because I played Blazblue in the past and it cost not much. I still play it nowadays, it is also very beautiful to look at, I'm not surprised by its longevity

Ive been in love with this game for the last couple of days ive been playing it, i have had no interaction at all with any of the franchises involved but damn ive enjoyed it, the lobbies(for game pass) are constantly at a 100-200 player population so its pretty easy to find matches. I grew up in marvel vs capcom and nothing has scratched that itch I had like this, even inspired me to order an old Blazblue game on PS3 and to try P4 on game pass, perfect as a side game while I wait for SF6 and after.

I have like 200 hours into Tag on my Switch, it releasing on Gamepass got my friend FINALLY try the series! She loves Tag so far! (She's a huge RWBY fan!) I'm very happy about that, this series means alot to me. Yeah, alot of people despise Tag, I get it's not for everyone, but I kinda prefer this game over Central Fiction once in awhile. (the major factor of it having it's dub while CF doesn't.)

I recently got into this game because of Gamepass (and it is the only fighting game to date with RWBY characters, plus it also has Persona characters) and I was pleasantly surprised to see how many people were online. Almost always throughout the entire day there is an almost full casual lobby. Clearly a lot of new players came to the game like me. Glad to find another ArcSys game I can enjoy other than Guilty Gear (I get my ass kicked too much in that game. Not beginner friendly at all, but I still love it).

I’ve played this a lot back in 2020 on my switch. I liked doing many different characters’ combos

Forgot this game existed. Had some good times with it even though I never bought it and only talked trash about it. Guess it did help Under Night get recognition, so big ups.

I played this game on PS4 for a couple of years and loved it but had to switch to Xbox bc PS5 is truly expensive where I live, so imagine my big smile when I heard BBTAG and GGS were coming to my current main console. Been playing the heck out of both games and ranked matches pop up in matter of seconds every night. The xbox community has a lot of players that love FG and it shows now with these recent releases and even old games such as DOA6, MKX and Tekken still have plenty of players online every day

just came to comment theres a lot of people playing on xbox rn and it's really refreshing to see the lobbies decently full on this game again :)

They should add the other Senran Kagura

As a Xbox Series X owner i was beyond excited for this game to come to the console! I bought the game the second it dropped in the Microsoft store! And having it in gamepass mrans alot of people can try it out for free! So those online lobbies should be packed!

Is there a way to increase screen size? Or is 1920x1440 max? Also it seems on some channels it looks smoother and like more frame rate?

I hope it stays alive enough for ArcSys to start adding new characters again (I just want more RWBY characters in the game man)

The saddest thing with BBTag for me personally is at the time of its announcement, I considered myself a big fan of RWBY so it was hype, but now I hate it because of its terrible writing and seeing the characters just fills me with sadness and disgust at such wasted potential. RWBY is absolutely not going strong, theres no hype for the series anymore. The only thing that keeps it alive today is cringe Twitter shippers, R34 coomers, and pure desperation from Rooster Teeth trying not to be sold off by Warner Media despite atrocious management.

I'll continue to dream in a standalone RWBY game by Arcsys, i'ts a gold mine for Rooster Teeth

I was in the crowd when they announced bbtag and man I was HYPE when I saw RWBY. Main reason why I bought the game even

As an xbox player this was so hype. Was super bummed years ago to find out it released on everything but an xbox. Bought it on the switch (that i barely play)

I like all the franchises that are in BBTag so it’s a pretty cool game. I really want a new mainline BB game tho

this is my sign to keep playing. i havent played regularly since early pandemic...bbtag is mad fun tho

Just started playing this. And I love it

I still have fond memories of this game. One of the first games I did decent modding for, one of the first games I made custom palettes for, and my very first fighting game & Switch game period (in reverse order). Had I not been in a bit of a RWBY phase in HS coming in just for the prospect of playing as canon best girl (she literally said it herself) Weiss Schnee + having a passing knowledge of Persona to use it as a bouncing off point (Naoto in this game is so good and I kinda wish her VA here came back to redub her in the Steam re-release of P4G), I would've never picked this up or even gotten into MegaTen as a whole. Glad I did, and Tag still holds a soft spot for me to this day. Long Live BBTAG!

I love bbtag it got me into BlazBlue i remember playing this game with my mom once it was fun she also had fun

The answer to the title. No game dies as long as it had a community playing it. As long as at least 1 person enjoys playing the game it will have life even if the game sucks

I'm so happy it's on Game Pass I used to play this back a lot on launch Nonstop I really hope we get a sequel in the future or maybe if we're lucky enough more dlc

its a bummer that BB's creator Mori P left Arcsys leaving the franchise in a wierd undead state still promoted but with no new games in the works Hope we get more BB & that Mori P gets to do that rpg he always wanted to make

This may came as for shocked for some, But i've been waiting for this game for years to be officially Port on the Xbox Store, thankfully before that happen, Guilty Gear and other from Arc System has port to Xbox first, then days ago after realized One tweet within a Hashtag Xbox, I got jumped of excited and look it up that I found out that BBTAG has official been included but as btea that night, but a day after, I bought it with a Pass, and played the hell out of it. While the gameplay felt different than usual Blazblue, But i had a blast for it! But it is worth waiting for it for years!

The physical version of Special Edition is only available in Japan, and I found out that the DLC content is via download code. My question is, does a Japanese download code work on a non-Japanese account? (I’m on Switch, btw).

i think its kinda a big thing that people dont realize but this game doing well on xbox means alot for persona fans in a potential p5a aswell cause arena is the same studio as blaze blue

I had and i'm still having so much fun as a Yang main in BBtag: Hope this game lasts long i'm called "o.w.n." in the lobbyes if anyone that Is Reading also plays on PC : )

Playing on xbox atm and the amount of people online is crazy, always 3-4 rooms in casual full. Not tried ranked yet

Thinking about jumping back in on psn. Its been a out a year. Do people still play on psn?

whats the music in the background of the rwby part?

Seeing RWBY characters in this game makes me think a RWBY fighting game made by ArcSys would be the coolest thing! And RWBY has so many characters with crazy Weapons/Powers

i like your work fam!

crossplay would do wonders for playing online right now

I can say that as an xbox player after like 5 days of it coming out I've seen consistent 250 minimum players, although I feel alot of them are like me just trying it out and will probably drop it for ggst, sf6 or tekken which is the case for alot of people I've spoken too, especially since xbox doesn't really have all that many of these franchises, I mean ps3 only came out like last month on xbox and most xbox players that I've seen play dbz, tekken and ggst.

The game was fun, and I made a lot of great friends in the community as a result, but the neglect from the devs and the overwhelming bias to keep Ruby top tier, the refusal to nerf her, and the latest DLC drop characters, particularly Yumi, remaining as stupidly stong as she was were huge turnoffs for me in the long run. I'll also never forgive Arcsys for nerfing Hazama because of 1 single tournament player/

i just recently brought this game and so far i love it

See, what they're doing is advertising with the first game so they can make BBTAG 2 with Guilty Gear, Persona 5, and Melty Blood characters added in

Maybe they could make another crossover game but this time using characters from dragon ball, guilty gear and granblue. Might be something to think about

I tried jumping back in to BBTAG to coach a friend on fighting games and and it completely fucked me up how different it felt as opposed to Melty Blood Type Lumina

It's been a while since I watched a BBTAG video

I still don't understand why BBTAG won't die

What was that piano music that started playing around 4:11, when he starts talking about blazblue’s state? I’ve heard it everywhere but can’t seem to put my finger on it

Even after finishing single player I still love BBCTB as I love fighting games with the retro type art style like jojo's bizarre adventure heritage for the future or guilty gear just to name a couple but blazblue cross tag battle took the art style that I loved and added some of the most satisfying combat I've ever had the pleasure of playing and also included air combos which I love. BBCTB has some flaws but is and forever will be my favourite fighting game

BTW, When Do We Get More Characters in BBTAG?

I tried to go back and play this because its been about a year since ive played but it runs in slowmo. I just want it to work so i can try to learn how to play it properly:(

I only care about persona 4 out of these franchises but it's still really cool to see such a dope crossover

If i recall isn't this game gonna be on Xbox gamepass with strive? I expect a resurgence coming from that alone ...maybe even cross play idk.

Playing on xbox, didn't play when it first came out. Love this game. Getting all the action I can before the population drops in 6 months.

I bought this game for the persona 4 characters but when i played story mode and found how interesting the BlazBlue characters were i looked up there Franchise now I am a BlazBlue fan

Just discovered this game today on game pass and I'm addicted (also I'm so bad)

My only gripe with the game was that it held back the craziness it could have had just to be appealing to a casual Audience. Without going into a giant rant, to give an example of what I mean by holding back, take Ryu for example in both Street Fighter and the The vs Capcom series. In both games Ryu will always feel like ryu, but in the vs series, he feels more...."super" for a lack a better word. But he never feels "different". Comparing the characters in BBTAG to the OG games, they are quite literally different. The removed moves and normals and simplified them to all hell. And that was the part I hated about BBTAG. But eventually I was able to look past that and enjoyed it. But I still will never forgive them for adding Jubei, Platinum and Celica but never added Bang Shishigami. That was an unforgivable crime.

BBTAG won't die because, you "Can't Escape from Crossing Fate!"

I’m so confused by this fever dream. Kinda fun tho

HELLLLL YEAH!

Fr, I don't care about BBTAG. I just want a sequel to Undernight In Birth because I feel it deserves a second shot. Out of all the characters in BBTAG. I found the UNICL cast the most fun to play (and honestly? The most asteticly pleasing to look at) with some of the most unique designs in the game (just personal taste. The blazblue character designs are pretty cool too 😊) I want to play UNICLR, but what sucks is if I tried to do it now. I'll only be fighting other players who have played the game since release, and that's not fun. I want to learn the game alongside everyone else, and I sadly missed out on that. I know a sequel to UNICLR is unlikely to happen, but it would be cool since I have grown attached to a lot of them after BBTAG (Gordeau, Hyde, Markava, Yuzu, and strangely Carmine are all fun to play and listen too. They deserve to get more recognition along with the rest of the cast.)

Yeah, Imma be honest, as someone who hasn’t taken the full plunge into fighting games and has only really put effort into Street Fighter IV, Smash Bros, P4 Arena, and hasn’t touched Soul Calibur since since 2, the *only* reason I’m still considering playing BBTAG still after all these years is RWBY. It’s the closest I could get to playing as the characters, even with other RWBY games having been made.

Something is a bit interesting to me if I see Akatsuki on-screen most of the time.

I only played because I liked P4 and saw the cast (and mitsuru), and honestly? Might get into blazblue too because of this game, lol.

Honestly, it wasn't really anything I had against mechanics. The netcode was horrid at the time I played at launch. Kind of do wanna get back to see how I like it with Rollback, just kind of worried that if I get it on Ps4, I would spend money to find empty rooms

Man I wished there was one last DLC drop man
