There's no reason half the roster has to be DLC when almost all the characters were already made. The roster is the entire appeal of a crossover game. This ruins what could've been a fun game.

How to kill a game in one fell swoop.

They declined to mention how this game is launching with only two completely new characters and how RWBY (despite being one of the selling points of the game) doesn't even have all it's main characters in at launch.

Goddamn dude. I was really looking forward to this game, but half the game as DLC is fucking ridiculous. Even worse since they are re-using most of the sprites. What were they on when they thought, "Yeah, this seems like a good idea."

R.I.P Super Best Friends

I'm not even a RWBY fan and the fact that two of the TITLE FUCKING CHARACTERS are DLC pisses me off. That's like if Vegeta was a DLC in Dragon Ball FighterZ.

yeah, go team RW!

RWBY looks so small in that still frame quite fitting for that roster's treatment.

The worst part though is character that you want may not in be in that 20 pack. Into the Kusoge bin it goes.

While I'm glad that RWBY is getting a fighting game treatment by ArcSys, I would prefer that they have their own title and not this cash-grab crossover.

The sad part is, despite this bullshit, everyone's still gonna eat this game up.

There are people who defend this, just thought I'd point that out.

A game with RWBY where half of the fucking main roster of the series is dlc isn’t really worth it for me. Fuck, the fact there’s barely any RWBY or Persona characters isn’t worth it. There’s no character balance. Like what the fuck, ArkSys?

I already have the first dlc pack as a free code,and I entered it. but I'm gonna buy all-in-one pack(DLC Pack 1~6), will there be a problem if I bought the all-in-one pack and download it ??

Oh, so thats why nobody talked about CTB except for how busted Susanoo was in theory

Arc Sys, ya breaking my heart

Yo man, are you still making these? I’ve never found the time to listen to the podcasts all the way, but always looked forward to your videos.

If they cut it to 40 bucks with each character being a buck at most I might let them off the hook.

can you upload the guy cihi interview now that theyre gone?

I'm not sure if we're getting another Extend. We've gone about 2 years now with CF.

Woolie:"i just had a conversation with a blazblue player that wants another one" Me: "thats at least half of the fanbase after central fiction"

The Rwby side got screwed in roster Jesus

Can you do the kingdom hearts discussion for 233 ?

They need the money to keep up with the _incredible_ _quality_ of Rooster Teeth's animation team ;)

“RWBY is in the game!” Wait, scratch that, RW is in the game. We’re leaving half the title of the series out.

I'm uninterested in this game now

That moment Woolie may be interested in the character that is made to represent him in those RWBY x SBFC videos... too bad the game does not merit purchase.

And just like that I despise this game

Ok if the game is 40 and character pack is 20 for all characters I'm good then

I'll never spend a single cent on them again.

So Arc Sys have officially become the new Capcom now?

God, this is such a bummer. I was really looking forward to it.

There are so many things that could’ve been right with this game, and for ArcSys to this horse shit and put half the roster behind a freakin DLC paywall is completely Asinine. Add on that, some of the main characters from the four series that are included possibly aren’t even in the game, let alone the Base roster, makes me so so sad, like with RWBY, which is its first outing in a fighting game format, has so much potential, yet only two of the main four are base game playable (might be wrong), whereas we might not even have potential great characters like Team JNPR, Qrow, Cinder, or Adam, not to mention possible fan favorites from BB, Persona, and Under Night: In-Birth, it just.... it just makes me lose hope for this game yo, but, imma give it the benefit of the doubt, and see if it will shape up. Cause ArcSys has a good Track Record with Fighting Games. Don’t let me down ArcSys.

can i earn the characters by playing? no? then its not like sf5.

WC3 The Frozen Throne had that expansion pack feels as well

I've already posted this elsewhere earlier today but I'll repost it here as well. ------------------------------------------- Really, I'm more hung up on just how baffling of a decision this feels. Like ASW are just making a joke and are pulling our legs. Announcing so much of the cast being DLC, especially when the game is still 4 1/2 months away from releasing, is just baffling. Technically, it's more as the final members of the base roster were revealed like a month prior to this DLC reveal. It's been somewhat of a joke that the only reason this game even exists is because it's using mostly reused assets, "Marvel vs Capcom" style. But now with this happening, it makes me wonder what the budget for the game even was for them to resort to this extreme. If it wasn't just outright greed that is. I get that developing characters for fighting games, hi-res sprites especially, isn't remotely cheap. While I'm no expert, I've seen the "Skullgirls" character development breakdown and it really shows how much goes into just making a single sprite-based character. It's one of the reasons I'm somewhat okay with the $8 "Blazblue" DLC characters, simply cause there's so much that goes into them. But as stated by basically everyone, most of what's in the game consists of reused assets. I mean sure, there's plenty of new things getting added (new music and remixes, unique character interactions, new stages, the "RWBY" cast are definitely brand new, mechanic development, etc.) and stuff getting adjusted (sprites for "UNIEL" characters in particular had to be reworked, sprite properties and attacks, etc.), all things that eat up lots of resources, but it'd still be far less than what something completely being developed from scratch would have been. At this point, it really depends on the pricing for everything. For all intents and purposes, people are kind of jumping to conclusions for the most part. Could not be anywhere near as bad as people think it's going to be. Going by the Japanese prices, the base game already seems like it's going to be at a reduced price so that's one thing. Now it's just up to the pricing for the DLC characters, free or otherwise. That said, this still was a terrible decision to make. Especially given how quiet all parties involved have been so far since the reveal. That silence certainly isn't helping. Even ignoring the prices, the base roster itself just feels incomplete. "RWBY" only has half (2) of the characters that make up its namesake included. Both "P4A" and "UNIEL" are shortchanged by only having 4 characters each, which isn't even remotely close to covering the crucial characters. And "Blazblue" stands at the top by taking up half the roster (10 characters) and some of them seem like odd inclusions at that, like Tager who last I checked is neither really plot-important nor all that popular. Heck, of the entire roster, there are only two villain characters, an archetype that tend to be rather popular in general, and both are from "Blazblue". For a crossover game, this is just laughable. There are various speculations on why this decision was made going around. Most frequent I've seen being that they're trying to release the game early for some event like EVO Japan. But regardless of why or how bad it actually will end up being, the reality is that this really does sour the overall experience. Being niche, most people really don't care about the game, like the SBF here, but those that did were ridiculously excited. Even though I had some issues with some of the mechanics shown so far (always dashing, autocombos, etc), I still was somewhat looking forward to it. But now, I haven't seen so much excitement for a game just vanish like this within minutes in a long time, if ever.

I want the full game and can't wait for a gold edition.

My point of contention is not so much that there is DLC (I figure form the announcement that there would be), but the fact that the base roster of the game is so unappealing that is makes the DLC ones look so by extension.

Welp! Looks like I'm not getting this game! Shame to!But seriously though you could have at least put all of team RWBY in the main game and I would have been happy and lets not start with all the other characters that may or may not get in. In any case let's see who don't make it in and then we can be even more disappointed...(sigh)...

can you clip the 229 podcast topic of "Who got there shoes smoked harder" where they talk about jesus and satan fighting over job's soul? :D

5:00 WHERE"S MY GUN.

Any form of day one DLC is bullshit. DLC should add to a completed game, not be the “back half” you need to pay again for.

ArcSys should learn something from this: sometimes honesty is NOT the best policy. I mean, it’s not like we haven’t seen this kind of shit before in video games. In general. It all about perspective.

Akihiko and Mitsuru.. should be in the base game, and give the old charecters new moves if you're going to charge btw.

Well, frankly. I'm just excited to play another game with the RWBY cast. That's all I care about here.

So this game costs 50 trudeau dollars plus what ever the dlc will cost

ive played this game now that is practicly free (you still gotta pay out the ass for all the DLC) and at the end of it all, it would have just been cooler to get a RWBY fighting game instead of the most "nobody asked for this" crossover since Sub Zero fought Batman

Smh Its a fucking shame how fighting games nowadays just get partially made, and then you have to pay like 75% for the rest in dlc. Like why can't companies just fucking complete a game and be done with it. Namco seems to be the only company that's doing it right imo. Like its the most dirtiest shit ever, and every time I hear ppl say "Ehhhhh..well as long as it has the characters "I" play, I'll buy it." I wanna pull my damn teeth out..

If Guilty Gear isn't a part of the crossover, I will be surprised

It shocks me Matt has no idea what RWBY is no less Yang... YANG.

The game is wonderful,....

The problem is if the game was 60$ and had all 40 characters no one would care.

The biggest problem is that RWBY is a featured title and then half of the main cast including the fucking best girl and most obvious fighting game character Yang Xiao Long is being withheld from the main game. That just makes it Blazblue introducing RW. Honestly the only way this can get dumber is if a character as bad as fucking Oscar or fucking nothings backed by pure fan hype like Nora, Ren, and Sun were added as main game content before the second half of RWBY. For fucks sake!

Rwby only fighter when

I'm a simple man, announce Qrow and Yang and you'll get my money.

3 things 1 as of today the rest of team RWBY are free but the others will still be dlc sucks but I'll take what I can get 2 the game will be 40 bucks at launch so theres a positive And 3 why havent you made another on of these highlights in a while?

Yeah after the excellence of FighterZ I was almost ready to start easing up on my dislike of ArcSys but NOT AFTER THIS GARBAGE. Not too long ago they even talked about how they needed their games this year to do exceptionally well because they'd managed their money poorly and I hope that means they start suffering for their scummy moneygrubbing.

Honestly I'm more excited for the weird stuff than DBFZ. Just am. DBFZ looks great but I'm just not interested in playing it for some reason. Blaz. Yeah, I wanna play with all my fun animu characters in a high speed tag fighter. Does that mean this dlc thing is good? NO. Does the price help? A little, but splitting up the RWBY girls is just insane to me. Now if there are ten characters from each series by the end of this than I'll be fine. But I don't want some lopsided roster that favors one group of characters over the others. If I might quote that virtouso of wordplay himself, Jontron: "I aaaaiiiin't havin' that shit!"

I'm all for putting the garbage RWBY characters behind a paywall so I don't have to see too many of them.

RIP the only fighting game I was looking forward too this year.

For those who don't like this DLC bullshit, just wait a year, maybe two. I can guarantee you that they'll release a GOTY edition that will have all of the characters in the game.

This is an example of them shitting something out. This won't sell regardless if the long time faithful get pissed from this. As far as Pat's Crazy Talk who has friends that play BB. The timing of release was so bad because of localization. If you didn't have to wait 6-8 months from Japan release to stateside release you'd think they were just making a new game for reasons. No Kagura anyway so Who cares.

This hurts my heart.

RvB is because it's Halo Machinima. You know.......Xbox Series. And this isn't on Xbox. Also get these guys to watch RWBY already.

This podcast topic aged like shit.

I'm getting a hunch that you don't know about Guilty Gear or Melty Blood franchises, since you seem clueless about certain things...

At this point I’m just gonna sit on my hands and play DBFZ with my feet until the Extend version of Crosstag comes out. Because we all know it’s coming, no idea when but it is.

'ASW has the most greed' PFFFFFFT!!!!

I mean, half the roster being behind a paywall aside; I can't help but laugh that the worst girl of RWBY is behind said paywall.

So pretty much this is Capcom fighting evolution system artworks characters and Ruby

The red vs blue character have more pull than rwby characters. When you think roosterteeth you think rvb

Arc Sys dropping the ball again with BlazBlue? Man you'd think that after the mess with CF and the lack of the English voice cast they'd try to step up their game a bit, this is beyond what they did with CF. At this point I just want BlazBlue to get laid to rest already so they can focus on stuff like FighterZ and Guilty Gear and my faith in ArcSys has slowly faded away. Time to boycott their stuff.

RWBY was what made me want to avoid the game in the first place. Now I'm REALLY not touching it.

If you really think about it. How many characters did we expect this game to have in the first place? It blows my mind that people didnt care much about sfv having 16 characters and 45$ later we have less than 40 characters. Also the sprites are being redone, character properties are being changed to something unfamiliar. Arc has 200 employees or so and they are making like 3 games at the time. Chronophantasma wasnt marketed as being the last bb. It was suppose to be the only vers pat. They made another because of the console gen shift Furthermore id like to add that if this game is 40$ and the season pass is like 20 or 30. you guys sound like cheap bozos . People doubted the roster was gonna be even 32 and we got 40 characters on the way.

I didn't buy GG because of how shitty the DLC was handled in BB ArcSys is actually worse than Capcom when it comes to DLC. I'm hoping than Namco keeps them from being too shit with the DLC for DBF

Central Fictions the perfect arksys game so I dont know why anyone would by this X Tekken rip off

Don't Care Gonna buy the SHIT outta all of It. Looks super fun.
