BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle Move Lists For First 9 Characters

Arc System Works released the BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle move list on their website, but unfortunately for worldwide fans it was fully in Japanese. Thankfully, a user on GameFAQs (Nazdrovie) translated the current move lists for the nine revealed characters in the upcoming crossover fighting game (it’ll feature characters from RWBY, UNIEL, BlazBlue, and Persona).
