Guilty Gear vs BlazBlue: Multiversal Cross Assault

Guilty Gear vs BlazBlue: Multiversal Cross Assault is a crossover fighting game with a tag-team system. It includes characters mostly from Arc System Works’ Guilty Gear and BlazBlue, French-Bread’s Under Night In-Birth, Team Arcana’s Arcana Heart, Atlus’ Persona 5 Arena, Cygames' Granblue Fantasy: Versus, Bandai Namco's Dragon Ball FighterZ and Rooster Teeth’s 3D anime-styled web series RWBY.

Iori Yagami from The King of Fighters makes a guest appearance in this game through the DLC.

Gameplay
This game is a 2-on-2, 2.5D tag team fighting game in three dimensional area, which allows the player to switch between characters during a fight. Each character from both players has their own health bar.

The gameplay, like its prequel, will not be similar as neither the said past fighting game series’ gameplay (not counting RWBY, but including a gameplay which is seen by a Senran Kagura representative in Nitroplus Blasterz). Yet, some of their previous gameplay mechanics are retained and revamped for this game.


 * There are only five button inputs: A and B normal attacks, Crash Assault/Sweep (a C button), Tag (a D button) and Partner Skill (an Assist button)
 * "Skill Gauge" (previously named Heat Gauge) keeps its name.
 * Cross Gauge from the previous game returns, keeping its Tag-based combos.
 * By consuming 2 “Cross Gauge” through pressing all 5 main buttons, Cross Burst will have the player’s secondary character to enter the fight while attacking their opponents, just as their main character retreat back.
 * "Psych Burst" and "Overdrive" from Guilty Gear and BlazBlue are now mixed as Overdrive Burst, and can only be activated after the player’s teammate is down. The Overdrive Burst activation grants the player to refills the meter quickly, makes all movesets stronger, regenerates health, can cancel Skills to Distortion Skills and it is used for some characters to access to their powerful form. However, Overdrive Burst can only be activated once like Instant Kill activation in Guilty Gear, except only renders Cross Gauge useless.
 * When 2 players’ own partner are defeated while the Cross Gauge level reaches Level 4 and activates Overdrive Burst state, Cross Assault can be accessible through costing 9 Skill gauges with the command input down three times+2 higher normal buttons simultaneously.
 * Once activated the Cross Combo by pressing Partner Skill+Tag buttons simultaneously at 1 gauge, the player’s partner will follow the suit of their main character, and attack their opponents, but will deplete slowly to 0. While holding Partner Skills after “Cross Combo” Activation, the gauge in the middle of the screen will increase until it reaches maximum where the Partner Skill is usable via any directions+Partner Skill button. It also put the characters into Overdrive Burst state without rendering Cross Gauge useless while still having their partners alive.
 * The B+C throw button function is retained from Guilty Gear and BlazBlue.
 * As a result, the button function of “Furious Action” moves from Persona 4 and 5 Arena, which is very common for Dragon Punch-based move can only be activated by pressing A+Tag.
 * Using special moves with C button as an EX move retained from Under Night In-Birth.
 * Using Super Dash and Vanish moves with S+H an a dash-and-air combo is retained from Dragon Ball FighterZ.
 * Standing C is a Crash Assault. An Overhead attack which is unblockable against crouching opponents. After landing the attack, the timing which the player press the button will affect amounts of damage.
 * Cross System version of Crash Assault can be activated by pressing Partner Skill button, which switches the player’s main character who performs the Distortion Skill with their secondary character who will follow the main character with Distortion Skill.
 * Jumping C act as an Air Combo Finisher, with some of the characters' Jumping C were originally Air Special Moves, much like Smart Combos' certain moves. However, some can still be cancellable.
 * Normal string attacks mechanic is based on Under Night In-Birth, such as having Crouching C as the primary sweep attack, and “Passing Link” chain normals.
 * An Auto-Combo called Smart Combo can be activated with either tapping A or B normals.
 * New input function for Distortion Skill Moves can only be activated through using special move command input+2 higher normal buttons simultaneously, which cost 2 Skill Gauges.
