The PlayStation 4 version of BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle has been updated to version 1.11, marking the title’s first notable post-launch patch. Though the update was mainly about cleaning up bugs, there were a few small character changes that may impact the current meta, as several fighters have had the attack attributes of certain moves changed to better match with the attacks’ visual animations.
Characters impacted by this update include: BlazBlue’s Noel Vermillion, Rachel Alucard, Platinum The Trinity, and Makoto Nanaya, Persona 4 Arena’s Yu Narukami, Yosuke Hamaura, Kanji Tatsumi, Naoto Shirogane, and Aegis (whose Personas will now correctly face towards the opposition during various Smart Combos), Under Night In-Birth’s Gordeau, Orie, and Vatista, and the entirety of Team RWBY. Additionally, Gordeau’s pesky B Assimilation Infinite (that appeared to only work on fellow In-Birth Linne) has also been removed, as the float value for the move is now universal across all characters. Unfortunately, as has been the case with Dragon Ball FighterZ, this new patch will disable all Replay data saved from the previous version of the game. You can read the full patch notes below; there has been no official word, as of this writing, on when this patch will roll out to the Nintendo Switch and Steam versions.
