Here’s a video roundup of changes in the 2.1 version of Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2

Arcade users in Japan are lucky to already experience the newest Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 patch, and they’ve been busy exploring the impact of the changes. In the meantime, the rest of the world is hungry for details and footage, to see how much their main character/most hated opponent have changed.

While the consumer patch won’t hit until about March (pending a confirmed date), we have to rely on social media to get some info. As per usual, many Japanese players turn to Twitter to share short clips of noteworthy changes. This is just a sample of posts that came out up to this point and more are showing up, so feel free to point things out in the comments below, and enjoy the clips:

Faust has some new pressure options with flower YRC:

Sol can now follow-up Fafnir with Grand Viper:

Kedako determined that Baiken’s new defense modifier is 1.12 (so she takes less damage overall):

New I-no things:

Answer combos:

Jam’s getting big damage now thanks to a jS change:

Chipp’s wall-cling Alpha Blade now takes the opponent out of the corner, which is a big change to his corner okizeme, but maybe not all is lost?

Platinum the Trinity, Orie, and Kanji are coming to BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle; Japanese pricing details revealed

The time has come for the next BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle character introduction! The sixth iteration — per tradition — reveals three more characters. Each colliding world in the game receives one warrior (except for RWBY).

Check out the trailer below to see BlazBlue‘s Platinum the Trinity in action, who brings a variety of items to the fight (though the typical Platinum gauge for items seems to be missing.) Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st]‘s Orie joins the battle with her quick and precise fighting style. Lastly, plenty of Persona 4 Arena fans will be thrilled to see that Kanji Tatsumi, a grappler with a Persona who uses lightning attacks, joins the fray.

Keep scrolling to see some pricing details revealed during the Arc System Works stream.

The pricing chart above lists the “All-in-one” DLC, which contains all characters, at 2,400 yen. Yang and Blake are free DLC (which will always stay free, it’s not time-locked), and then each character pack is 600 yen, with three characters each. Note that this character pack, containing Orie, Kani, and Platinum, will be free for those who pre-order.

BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle‘s inevitable collision takes place on May 31st in Japan and June 5th in the United States. The game is also an Evo 2018 main stage title.
