* HarderThanHard: Master difficulty, which is above Hard. ''crossbeats REV.'' introduces the Unlimited difficulty above Master, only available on select songs.

* DifficultySpike: Some songs have some absurd differences in difficulty level between two adjacent charts:
** Devil's Classic: Hard Lv. 40, Master Lv. 80
** "EVERYTHING": Hard Lv. 30, Master Lv. 74

* DifficultySpike: "EVERYTHING". Hard: Level 30. Master: Level ''74''.

* AllegedlyFreeGame: The Ticket system in ''C×B'' is particularly harsh about this--most songs cost 5 Tickets to play each, but you recover 1 Ticket every 20 minutes; in other words, if you don't use or get Premium Tickets, you can only play one song every 1 hour and 40 minutes. Fortunately, the game features many early sources of Premium Tickets.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: In the new Crossbeats.REV Sunrise, you can retry a song up to FOUR times if you want to go for a full combo or 100% rate. Do note though, the feature is only available in premium mode, which involves inserting two credits instead of one.

There is a spinoff for UsefulNotes/{{arcade|Game}}s, ''crossbeats REV.'', that was released in 2015, that follows the standard arcade rhythm game structure, granting the player 3 stages per credit. Players can create accounts for the game with a Creator/{{SEGA}} Aime card or a [[Creator/NamcoBandai Bana]]Passport card[[note]]although the card reader says "Aime", both [=BanaPass=] and Aime cards run on the same ALL.net infrastructure[[/note]] to save their records, complete unlocks and missions, and participate in in-game events. In addition to a number of songs from ''CROSS×BEATS'', it also has a large variety of new songs, including, most notably, songs from and arranges of songs from other Capcom series, such as ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', ''Franchise/AceAttorney'', and ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter''. A sequel, ''crossbeats REV. SUNRISE'', is scheduled for a 2016 release.

* GameplayGrading: Based on your combo. The highest is an S++, the lowest passing grade is an E. Failing will get you an F no matter how many points you got.

* GameplayGrading: Based on your score. The highest is an S++, the lowest passing grade is an E. Failing will get you an F no matter how many points you got.

** What BEMANI games call "Rivals", ''crossbeats REV.'' calls "Adversaries".

** Played straight with the Survival and Ultimate gauges, survival-type meter where you get an instant failure if your gauge ever hits zero. Ultimate is especially harsh; only Flawless ratings will recover life (0.1% to be specific), and anything below that, even a Super, will drop the meter.
