There are definitely a few surprising and hilarious combinations, like Azrael and Yang Xiao Long, Naoto Shirogane and Hazama, Nu-13 and Vatista, Aegis and Ruby Rose or Iron Tager, Carmine Prime and Yukiko Amagi, Hakumen and Yu Narukami, and Jubei and Blake, just to name a few.

For more on upcoming DLC characters, you can have a look at some datamined Lobby Avatars, as well as English audio clips for unreleased warriors, such as BlazBlue’s Nine The Phantom and Mai Natsume, Persona 4 Arena’s Labrys, and Under Night In-Birth’s Merkava and Yuzuriha Sougetsu.
