21!!Common tropes shared across the roster:
22* AuthorAppeal: Creator/DaisukeIshiwatari loves [[TooManyBelts belts]], although not to the ridiculous extremes like [[Creator/TetsuyaNomura Nomura]]. So far, Justice is the only character who's never followed this trend. Baiken and Anji's original designs originally did not include belts either, but the former's -REV-2 redesign has them as the straps of her eyepatch, and the latter's -Strive- redesign features two on each of his gloves.
23* AttackAttackAttack: The series is very offense heavy, and every character is a [[https://glossary.infil.net/?t=Gorilla gorilla]] to some extent, so that, combined with you gaining Tension by going on the offensive (and, as of ''Xrd'', lose all of it if you're too defensive) means that you'll be pressing the attack more times than not.
24* BountyHunter: Everyone except Dizzy and Testament in ''GGX'', and that's due to Dizzy having a big bounty on her head and Testament trying to keep her safe.
25* CallingYourAttacks: Everybody except Dizzy and Bedman will routinely call out their stronger attacks as they perform them.
26* GoldColoredSuperiority: The special in-game "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Gold]]" PaletteSwap not only gives the characters brilliant gold coloration, but also give them PurposefullyOverpowered character-specific benefits to match it, serving as a SpiritualPredecessor to [[Franchise/BlazBlue Unlimited characters]].
27* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: In the sense that they could all be outfits of a rock and roll band of some kind.
28* ImprobableWeaponUser: As a rule of thumb, everybody has some interesting and distinctly unique weapon. The series has seen people use dull sword-clubs, pool cues, an anchor, a yo-yo and a teddy bear, etc. etc.
29* MusicalThemeNaming: With the exception of Baiken and Zato-1, all the characters and some of their attacks are named after rock artists and their music. Read them [[ShoutOut/GuiltyGear here]].
30* RandomPowerRanking: The PWAB's risk ratings. These rankings are more of assessment of possible threat to PWAB than the character's actual fighting power, though said fighting ability is factored into their assessments.
31* RedEyesTakeWarning: Barring in-universe examples (such as [[spoiler:Ky or Elphelt]]), ''everyone'' is capable of this with the special in-game "Black" PaletteSwap, which gives them red eyes (or miscellaneous touches of red for characters whose eyes aren't visible in their sprites, like I-No or Johnny) to contrast [[SinisterSilhouettes their generally pitch black coloration]].
32* RummageSaleReject: Just look at how detailed and in-depth many of the characters' outfits are, and they only got even more detailed and crazy in the jump to ''Xrd''.
33* TooManyBelts: The number of belts in Sol's outfit alone can outnumber the belts in the whole cast of ''VideoGame/{{BlazBlue}}''. Everyone has a belt or ten on their person after ''Xrd'' came out.
