[@Gat720Dua]

I know, that's my favorite part.

[@fatcatluvsme5164]

I just realized that the gap in the audio is because the english dub lines finish faster than the Japanese lines.

I wish Monty Oum was around to see this.

[@whitedarkness5508]

From the Blazblue and Persona dub cast making their return, to UNIB having their English dub debut, to RWBY having it's first fighting game, to the awesome interactions between the characters , plus new controls, distortions and the return of Astrals I'm pretty excited for this game.

[@zabanya0]

Asang N. Sangma your comment is too genuine and is too logical as a Arc sys. Fan . There's no "OMG ruby" or wow much persona much big fan of anime fighters even though I don't play FiGhTiNG gAMEs. I got my eye on you reptilian!!!!

[@Arnell_Long]

The audio gap between teammates is unfortunate but overall I like what I see.

And then you have Yu randomly interrupting Hyde.

[@Excendre]

Ruby is so hyped for all these cool weapons.

[@TheDarkAngel969]

Except for Yu's. Kinda wish she had a line referencing Jaune's sword when she gets paired with Yu, or make a joke at how it doesn't look like much

I'm very happy to see comments from people who are like "I only knew this series but now these others seem interesting to me." or "I came to see this character, but this other one I didn't even know before looks so cool/crazy/funny/sexy" what have you. That's what a good crossover is for in my opinion, you get the characters you already liked _and_ you get introduced characters and series you might also wind up liking.

[@soratheorangejuicemascot5809]

And then there is "Jump Force"

[@tykalox5843]

That’s what happened to me. Just wanted to see some Persona, but ended going to see some RWBY and UNIB

[@silentrosegirl6077]

@@tykalox5843 Same! I got this game primarily for the persona characters but once I got introduced to Hyde I fell for him and the rest of the UNIEL cast! I'm thankful to this game for that reason!

[@OfficialNinjaSkillz]

I love how the majority of people viewing this haven’t heard or played more than 1 game in this crossover

[@darthva31]

Granted, in terms of gaming, RWBY has only one game as far as I know and I'm not sure how popular the Blazblue series in at the west. At most, people will at least know Persona. It's just that one series with the giant arms old man that I don't know.

[@OfficialNinjaSkillz]

KrystCyclone That’s true be that as it may that’s part of the reason that I found it odd that this game was ported to the West. Fighting games are a niche genre that most casual skip out on so most of these characters aren’t recognizable

[@OfficialNinjaSkillz]

KrystCyclone The big arm character you referred to is Waldstein from Under Night in Birth or UNIEL

[@ShadowKiller71]

Obsolete Excellence they're trying to increase popularity in west. Hence the English dub returning and the simplified control scheme of the game

[@Blaven45]

Quite frankly, that simplified control scheme is what bugs me (and most of the people I know that were looking forward to this game) the most. I'm surprised they didn't just take the BB control scheme, remove Crush Trigger and replace it with the Tag system.

[@Survivor976]

Oh my god, when I saw Ruby fangirling all over Ragna's sword and he tells her off for that second was just a awesome moment because that is EXACTLY how that would happen.

[@pajamazz1161]

That alt skin for Weiss is clean, not gonna lie

[@bradthebad123]

had to do a double take looked like a cross between weiss and pyrrha

[@thedutchlander572]

I first thought she was another character with that alt until I noticed Myrtenaster.

[@MidinVal]

Omg Ruby fangirling is the most adorable thing ever lmao

[@ChromaLuke]

I wonder how many times Yuri Lowenthal and Johnny Yong Bosch have been cast together, 'cause I feel like the answer will be 'a bit too much'.

[@thedothackerkeyblademaster]

Enough times that it's become a recognizable pattern with them.

So much that I assume when steel ball run gets an anime and dub (if they are still active vas 30 years from now) I assume that they'll voice Gyro and Johnny

Yuri hasn't been in Power Rangers yet.

[@BlazinBro786]

Loved the interaction between Ruby and Ragna haha.. gotta say i really like Gord after looking him up, his design is awesome too.

[@datemasamune2904]

Still waiting for BlazBlue and Guilty Gear to cross paths.

[@ZeroboroS]

Date Masamune Some day :_(

[@siegesquirrel42]

I am always amazed by the fact that they managed to get characters from RWBY into this. If nothing else, someone at Arc System Works must be a Rooster Teeth fan. Ruby and Weiss do seem to fit pretty well into the BlazBlue feel, though - Ruby in particular looks like she's having the time of her life.

[@burningfox4974]

I just realised...Blake might get unique dialogue with Makoto because they are both animal hybrids.

[@sigmagx8956]

BurningFox rwby used blazblue as a very strong inspiration. If you play blazblue the plot might remind you of rwby but in fact blazblue came out first.

[@chaosXP3RT]

And Makoto and Yang will probably have unique dialogue

[@chaosXP3RT]

Sigma Gx But characters like Weiss, Blake and Yang get their powers from Dead or Alive characters. Watch Monty Oum's Dead Fantasy on KZbin and you'll see what I'm talking about

[@redactedfractal3038]

That’d be pretty cool

[@orpheusp8906]

BurningFox they don't sadly.

[@h0nks504]

Ruby: AWWW UR WEAPON LOOKS SO COOL!! *blabbers* Ragna: do that later, just get away! Dis is my favorite one 1:06

[@JurassicLion2049]

God damn seeing so many characters I love interact is so cool. Hearing RWBY characters respond and gush and acknowledge Persona 4 + others is awesome and so satisfying :)

[@EChere]

Does Ruby have wierd relationship with weapons?
