History Fridge / BlazBlueCrossTagBattle

** Blake is evasive and cautious, while Ragna fights with little to no concern for his well-being.

** Lastly, there's the simple fact that Blake has never fought anyone on Ragna's paygrade, like Take-Mikazuchi, Nine, Hakumen, Azrael and Terumi. All of these combined explains Ragna's flippant attitude while Blake complains about trying to keep up with him, and considering that he is likely the most powerful being on the roster, it makes the comparisons in power between ''[=BlazBlue=]'', ''RWBY'' and the other series a lot more obvious.

** Related to this, the Persona 4 story has Yu exclusively fight with Yosuke, Chie, and Yukiko (barring the team up with Ragna near the end) while the other 3 protagonists have a more diverse partner selection because the P4 roster are TrueCompanions while the [=BlazBlue=] and UNIEL cast have more EnemyMine or TeethclenchedTeamwork moments due to the various factions and agendas and RWBY more or less split up to either accommodate the Tag Battle rules or cover more ground.
* Why does Carmine's dub voice sound less like someone genuinely menacing and psychopathic and more like a high school bully trying to be edgy? Because really, besides his bloodthirsty streak, that's all Carmine is, as [[CharacterizationMarchesOn shown]] in EXE: Late[st]'s story mode: a mildly unhinged, but otherwise average {{Jerkass}} moody teen who beats up people he doesn't like, and something of a ButtMonkey besides.

* With the ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'' characters getting palettes based upon ''VideoGame/Persona5'', a lot of them can make sense in a way.

** Kanji has a palette based on Yusuke Kitagawa. As mentioned in [[Characters/Persona5ThePhantomThievesOfHeartsSecondHalf Yusuke's character page]], he was already a pretty huge {{Foil}} of Kanji as they have the same arcana, similar love for the arts, different looks, and a different relationship with the person who has raised them. to the point where both of the characters have [[Creator/MatthewMercer the same English voice actor]].

** Aegis has a palette based on the Velvet Room twins. As the only ''VideoGame/Persona3'' character that shows up in the story mode in comparison to all of the other ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'' characters that came directly from ''VideoGame/Persona4'', it makes sense for her to have a palette not based on an actual party member form ''VideoGame/Persona5''.
%%*** Relating to this, Labyrs also has a palette based on the Velvet Room twins. This makes sense since Justine/Carolina are "sisters" much like Labrys and Aegis.

** Related to this, the Persona 4 story has Yu exclusively fight with Yosuke, Chie, and Yukiko (barring the team up with Ragna near the end) while the other 3 protagonists have a more diverse partner selection because the P4 roster are TrueCompanions while the Blazblue and UNIEL cast have more EnemyMine or TeethclenchedTeamwork moments due to the various factions and agendas and RWBY more or less split up to either accommodate the Tag Battle rules or cover more ground.

* The reason why the Persona 4 characters can use their Personas in the Phantom Field: it's stated a few times that the Phantom Field was created [[spoiler:from the dreams of System, or at least something along those lines]], very similar to how the dungeons in Persona 4 work being built out of the person's repressed desires and emotions.

* Yang's VideoGame/GuiltyGear palette swap is based on Baiken, [[BreakTheCutie a woman haunted by a traumatising event in which her life was drastically altered forever]], and [[AnArmAndALeg lost her right arm in the process]].

** This comes up in ''Episode Under Night In-Birth''. It turns out Azrael's sheer power and bloodlust mean he alone can attack others without a partner. He attacks Weiss and she is unable to fight back because of the same rules that Azrael breaks (and not even SYSTEM can restrain him). If Hyde wasn't there to intervene, there's no question that Azrael would have beaten Weiss to death.

* In ''Episode'' ''[=BlazBlue=]'', Ragna and Gordeau fight Ruby and Blake with one very distinct advantage neither might be aware of. Their Soul Eater and Devourer abilities damage and absorb enemy souls, which just so happen to be the very thing which powers the ''RWBY'' cast's Auras and Semblances.

** Kanji has a palette based on Yusuke Kitagawa. As mentioned in [[Characters/Persona5ThePhantomThievesOfHeartsSecondHalf Yusuke's character page]], he was already a pretty huge {{Foil}} to the point where both of the characters have [[Creator/MatthewMercer the same English voice actor]].

** Naoto has a palette based on Morgana. Both characters have androgynous features to them with Naoto being a {{Bifauxnen}} while Morgana has a female voice despite him identifying as a boy. Not to mention both of their character arc revolved around accepting who they are as Naoto accepts that she is a young female detective and Morgana accepts that he was never human to begin with.

* As noted in the Shout Outs page, Weiss has a palette swap based on Pyrrha Nikos. [[spoiler:Now recall what Cinder Fall [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice did to both of these girls]] on two separate occasions as of RWBY's 5th season.... (But at least Weiss managed to survive her impalement.)]]

%%** Aegis has a palette based on the Velvet Room twins. As the only ''VideoGame/Persona3'' character that shows up in the story mode in comparison to all of the other ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'' characters that came directly from ''VideoGame/Persona4'', it makes sense for her to have a palette not based on an actual party member form ''VideoGame/Persona5''.

** Chie has a palette based on Makoto Niijima. Both Makoto and Chie specializes in [[InvertedTrope close-quarters]] [[GuysSmashGirlsShoot combat]], have an avid love for action films, gets scared witless by "spooky" stuff, have a female best friend who's a [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl Girly Girl to her "Tomboy"]] while possessing some amount of LesYay with each other. Similarly the Social Links for both characters [[spoiler:end with them resolving to become police officers.]]

** Kanji has a palette based on Yusuke Kitagawa. As mentioned in [[aracters/Persona5ThePhantomThievesOfHeartsSecondHalf Yusuke's character page]], he was already a pretty huge {{Foil}} to the point where both of the characters have [[Creator/MatthewMercer the same English voice actor]].

* Jin surprisingly getting along with Orie in their pre-fight interactions makes sense considering that Orie works for the Licht Kreis, an organization that serves to protect people from the Hollow Night through enacting justice and order, and Jin possesses the Power of Order. They share similar virtues, so naturally they can cooperate with each other.

* Why does Carmine's dub voice sound less like someone genuinely menacing and psychopathic and more like a high school bully trying to be edgy? Because really, besides his bloodthirsty streak, that's all Carmine is, as [[CharacterizationMarchesOn shown]] in EXE: Late[st]'s story mode; A mildly unhinged, but otherwise average {{Jerkass}} moody teen who beats up people he doesn't like, and something of a ButtMonkey besides.

* Speaking of Carmine, Hazama finds him to be quite a bit similar to [[Jerkass Yuuki Terumi]] in the story mode. This goes beyond their shared blood-lust, crass attitudes, and maniacal laughs: [[spoiler: ''Central Fiction'' ultimately reveals that Terumi, really Susanoo, is at heart just Amaterasu's younger brother who REALLY resents having to serve her. His evil plan pretty much boils down to destroying all of her creations just to piss her off.]] The reason they're so similar is because they're both basically bullies who have nothing better to do with their powers.

* The coolness factor of a crossover of four different franchises is undercut by the fact that many of the ''[=BlazBlue=]'' characters are [[PowerCreepPowerSeep far and away the most powerful in the crossover]], that they very often use ''lethal force'' when they're fighting (especially for [[OneHitKill Astral Heats]]) and that the ''Persona 4'' and ''RWBY'' cast [[WouldHurtAChild is comprised of high-schoolers]]. This is ''especially'' true for the likes of [[AxCrazy Hazama, Nu-13 and Azrael]].

* The unlikely duo of Blake and Ragna brings attention to the PowerCreepPowerSeep issue most MassiveMultiplayerCrossover fighting games ignore[[note]]For context, its the explanation why a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Jigglypuff]] [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros can beat up]] [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Ganondorf]] or why [[VideoGame/FinalFight Mike Haggar]] [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 doesn't mind fighting]] [[Characters/DoctorStrange Shuma-Gorath]][[/note]], if for a while. After all, ItMakesSenseInContext when you look at both of their characters:
