Even Ragna Would Have Trouble With These Guys
With its JRPG-inspired features, branching narratives and signature 2D artstyle, the Blazblue franchise has managed to stand apart from the rest of its fighting game competitors as well as find continued success in its sequels. So much so, that they recently had a crossover with the likes of Persona 4, Under Night In-Birth and RWBY. While the fighters and mechanics obviously play well off of each other, it has opened the floodgates as far as future collaborations are concerned. If the game ever manages to spawn a sequel, these are the characters we want to see make an appearance!
#5: The Phantom Thieves of Heart
“Persona 5” (2017)
Yes, it’s great to see the likes of Yu, Kanji and the rest get another chance to shine, but you can’t even say the the word Persona anymore without thinking of the franchise’s fifth masterful entry. Given their enigmatic nature, ludicrous strength and flashy outfits, we imagine the Phantom Thieves would certainly turn heads upon entering the arena. Admittedly, we just want to see would happen if the likes of Chie or Taokaka took on Ann in all of her sensual splendor. Now that’s what you call a cat fight!
#4: Gintoki Sakata
“Gintama” (2006-)
Not only is he one of anime’s most stellar swordsmen, but one of the finest fourth wall breakers the medium has ever known. Can you imagine the possibilities once he realised that he was trapped in a crossover battle with multiple franchises? The jokes would be endless. He could make fun of Rooster Teeth, point out some of Blazblue’s more absurd plot points and even take jabs at the Persona lot for some of their cringe-worthy anime adaptations. Make no mistake, he’d still manage to hold his own in a fight!
#3: Izuku Midoriya
“My Hero Academia” (2016-)
An upcoming superhero with an endearing innocence and an unyielding will to do what’s right? Yep, he’ll fit right in here. While he may be a tad intimated by the likes of Ragna and be totally flustered by Ruby and company, there’s no denying he would put his money where his mouth is when it comes trading blows with the villains. Even the likes of Hazama would have to watch his step when dealing with the awesome power of Izuku’s Quirk. Lets see how those snakes fair against a punch fused with the power of One for All!
#2: Roronoa Zoro
“One Piece” (1999-)
Knowing how horrific his sense of direction is, we wouldn’t be surprised if the Straw Hats’ Vice Captain just happened to wander onto the set of this inter-dimensional battle royale by mistake. Either way, you can bet Zoro would be more than happy to cut off some heads should they decide to set up to him. With his overwhelming strength and signature three sword style, he would undoubtedly be able to dish out some serious combos. We almost feel sorry for his unprepared opponents; we’re looking at you Yosuke.
#1: 2B
“Nier: Automata” (2017)
This android was practically made for a game like Cross Tag Battle. Created to serve the remaining humans, her sword skills and immense strength have managed to bring down all manner of mechanical menaces, all the while being engulfed in a mental struggle about her true purpose in life. We’re sure her talents at killing and quiet determination would translate beautifully over to a fast-paced 2D fighting game. She’ll dazzle foes with her eerie beauty before slicing them to pieces in the blink of an eye.
