Specifics[]

  • Known only One Name: Despite a recent official confirmation of their full name/last names, full alias and full nickname, it is still mostly applied to Under Night In-Birth cast and some majorities of BlazBlue cast like Hazama, Es and Jubei on only official website of Cross Tag Battle character select, customized and gallery.
  • Sprites:
    • Same Resolutions: Only BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena, and RWBY and Arcana Heart cast to share a same resolution sprites in 720p for 1024p gameplay for the two former, and 1024p for 1080p gameplay for the two latter. On the side note, Arcana Heart side was originally not drawn in 1024p prior evolving since Aquapazza - Million Arthur: Arcana Blood
    • Non-Arc System Works Graphics: Only Under Night In-Birth and Arcana Heart cast whose sprites are not drawn by Arc System Works.

    • Eye Blink Standing Stance Animation: Currently only BlazBlue, RWBY, even Senran Kagura to have this.
    • No Standing Taunt Sprites: Currently only Waldstein, Gordeau, Merkava, Seth, and Mika have this one, and Arcana Heart cast. Waldstein and Arcana Heart side’s case doesn’t have a single standing taunt-based dialogues. Though these characters still have other sprites (most are unused like Gordeau’s) to be useful for new Standing Taunt animation, some characters like Merkava and Seth may require a long time of work to receive completely new standing taunt sprites

    • Non-Smart Combo: Only for BlazBlue and Arcana Heart cast, and some of them has a Rapid Fire property as some of their 2+L counterpart.
