Kirishima said, May 13, 2018, 05:38:02 pmColor 13 for the cast references western media. Aside from Gambit Gordeau, Waldstein has Amethyst from Steven Universe, Rachel has Fiona with Nago as Cake the Cat from Adventure Time, and Iron Tager has Shrek.Is there a direct quote from somewhere official that's what these are? Because hearing that caught my attention, but seeing pics of it, Rachel looks nothing at all like Fionna, and Waldstein certainly doesn't look like Amethyst or even the Purple Puma transformation, other than purple skin and white hair. Which I dunno, feels like a stretch to me, there are other characters around with purple and white color schemes.
The reference palettes usually aren't officially stated and left up to speculation by the community. Been that way since Calamity Trigger (to this day, I'll never know what Hakumen's reference palette was suppose to be).That said, the community noticed that Hyde is Steven himself, with Linne using Garnet's colors, even though both look a bit far off. Amethyst Waldstein is a no brainer. Weiss has Disney's Snow White's color scheme yet doesn't look even close to the figure herself.Rachel technically is Finn and Jake. I just assumed it's Fiona because of Cake the Cat, heh. Surprised no one caught on to Shrek Tager unless it's another character it is basing off on.Basically, it doesn't matter if the palettes are accurate or not. They are all shout outs.vgma2 said, May 15, 2018, 09:33:51 pmTheme for a gigantic final boss. (Like Takemikazuchi in CP, or MvC bosses)Seeing as Persona 4 is invloved in the story, it won't be surprising if the major antagonist is another deity of Japanese mythology. Or if it's the final boss of Ultimax.
Double post. Annoucer files got ripped from the Switch confirming all the unannounced DLC characters.Spoiler: Announcer also leaked this (click to see content)Senran Kagura characters will be crossing fate soon
Thanks to a bug in the online beta, you could play two fighters at ONCE!(from Shoryuken: https://shoryuken.com/2018/05/15/hilarious-blazblue-cross-tag-battle-beta-bug-lets-you-fight-with-two-characters-together/)Video: https://twitter.com/SuperKawaiiDesu/status/995898291798921216
Reminds me a little of MvCs mechanics a bit. Even though it's a bug, that would be cool to play with.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyIt could be possible that Asuka and Yumi could be a case similar to Kazama and Hibiki in CP where there was data referencing them as playable fighters, but they were never implemented in that game. Alternatively it could be a Jubei situation where the announcer voice clips for him were found early on, but he wasn't released as DLC until a good while later.I have the feeling it'll probably be the later. I don't think they would have considered doing announcer voice clips of them without having done negotiations with Marvelous earlier. (Let alone adding them into the game files)

Reminds me of the sentient remote control from Cartoon Network PTE responsible for bringing the worlds together.Kinda hoped for something a little harder.
The little that I peeked at the final boss seemed kinda disappointing.Perhaps I had my hopes too high for a cross over game.Well, maybe it's better when playing the actual game.
With leaks and other stuff going on, Arc made a guideline for content/streamers to follow:http://arcsystemworks.com/blazblue-cross-tag-battle-streaming-guidelines/
Um, has Arc System Works always been like this with story related videos?I saw the stream for the UNIEL chapter... it should of been renamed 'The Misadventures of Hyde Kido".
Not sure about Blazblue, but they were really uptight with Guilty Gear Xrd. They explicitly took down videos that showed off the story mode.
Spoiler: Footage regarding leaked DLC (click to see content)Some footage of a datamined Mika from UNIST. In an unfinished state right now, but has her English dub.
