TECH/GUIDE Post for Newcomers to PCTAG (Optimizing CPU usage and bug fixes)
First of all, welcome to PCTAG! Regardless of if you're coming from Switch or you're a new player after hearing about rollback, it's always get new players. Unfortunately, there are a few hiccups with the PC port that don't affect the consoles, so here's a guide to walk you through a couple of the common problems before the rollback patch rolls out:
*Edit: link to a visual guide to what you should buy if you're buying on Steamhttps://media.discordapp.net/attachments/420380689729454084/906308649964687400/unknown.png?width=903&height=511
TLDR: Only buy base if you want no DLC; Special Edition if you don't already own base game. Special Edition is better than buying base + DLC
Update (June 5):
BBTAG Rollback now has a functioning version of the Improvement Mod: https://steamcommunity.com/app/702890/discussions/0/1694923613855843759/
Do note that this is still in testing. While it enhances connection between two people, it is best if both players have the IM downloaded and running. Even if the other person does not have the IM, running the game at 60FPS with some rollback is better than the alternative. IF BOTH PLAYERS DO NOT HAVE THE IM, THE GAME WILL NOT SYNC PROPERLY AND WILL EASILY CAUSE DESYNCS AND/OR BAD CONNECTION
Tips for non-IM users:
Disable the IM by renaming the dinput8.dll. Instead, go to the options and turn on Performance Mode and make your window smaller. If you still lag, turn on Simple HUD as well. While the Simple HUD is less than optimal since it removes important info, running the game is more important.
The below information will be kept as is in case that the Improvement Mod gets updated.
"Why is PCTAG so slow in game?"
Short answer; the port is badly optimized, so it may be your computer. There are some things that you can do to fix this though;
- Download the Improvement Mod (IM)
I cannot stress this enough; currently, the IM is **mandatory*\* for optimal PCTAG playing **IF YOUR COMPUTER CANNOT RUN THE GAME AT 60 FPS. The IM does many things, but the most important point of the IM is that it HELPS YOU RUN THE GAME AT 60 FPS. If you cannot go into game and do happy birthday Yu 236BC + Yosuke DHC (Yu Ziodyne + Yosuke's partner super at the same time against both enemies), YOU NEED THE IM.
The IM can be downloaded here; https://steamcommunity.com/app/702890/discussions/0/1694923613855843759/
If you do not trust the link, go to the Steam forums for BBTAG and it should be pinned. Follow the instructions on the page; STEP 3 IS IMPORTANT TO DO. The mod does not do everything by itself; you need to manually adjust the settings yourself. The mod is not hard to use, maybe 10 minutes and you'll be done with the settings.
For reference, the IM can do the following:
- Replace the HUD with a much less intensive HUD that is customizable in location, meaning you can put HP, meter, timer, etc wherever you like on the screen.
- Disables regionlock (not useful while online is delay based netcode)
- Customizable window size (click and drag dimensions) (smaller means runs better)
- Customizable resolution (smaller means runs better)
- Literally has a setting that lowers CPU usage
- Has a hitbox viewer in training mode
Custom colours that you can upload online from in game. You can also use other people's custom colours
If you're using a computer/ laptop with multiple graphics cards, set BBTAG to use your better graphics card.
Personally, I'm using a gaming laptop, so I had this problem too. It depends on which brand your graphics card is, but I'll list the fix for NVIDIA:
- Right click anywhere on your main desktop
- Select "NVIDA Control Panel"
- In the left sidebar, select "Manage 3D Settings"
- Change your 'preferred graphics proseccor' to "High performance NVIDIA processor"
Steps may vary for specific models, but that's on you to find out.
- If the above two don't work, use performance mode as well and close your other windows
Performance mode was the bandaid solution that was implemented in BBTAG 2.0 for PC. It does it's job, but it removes the combo diamond timer and character specific bars, so using it is suboptimal. However, you gotta do what you gotta do for 60 FPS.
- Otherwise, do things like virus checks, search 'memory diaognostics' in the windows search bar, etc. In terms of internet, USE AN ETHERNET CABLE.
"I can't fight people in lobby?? It keeps saying 'You have been disconnected from your opponent'."
In this case, this is a PCTAG exclusive bug (yay). The fix is relatively simple; switch sides with the other person on the kiosk. If that doesn't work, move to another kiosk. If THAT doesn't work, exit and reenter the lobby. If all of these fail, restart BBTAG. If that fails as well, that's on your end.
"It says version does not match when I try to fight someone?"

HELP/QUESTION Got this lil Platinum in my single player lobby
Restarted bbtag to be greeted to a platinum npc that had this as a message whenever you approached it. Everytime I did something (like played survival, network, etc) it changed places but had the same text box.
Did anyone get this as well? Is there a way to put messages on other people's lobby?

I've seen tournament videos and they usually just go for good, does it always default to amazing if you have bar? Does the good have better payoff than spending the bar?

HELP/QUESTION Did you guys found all color set reference?
Recently I played BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle on my Xbox One (mostly for the reason that we don't have Centralfiction, UNIEL AND P4A on Xbox) and like other fighting games they have color set with reference to other medias.
i recognize some references, but not all of them, did guys found everything?

META/MISC A passion project I had recently reimagining BBTAG
So I wanted to see where my Photoshop skills were at, and with Trinity being announced for Central Fiction a while back. I, as the diehard BBTAG fan I am, began to hope that we could get characters added to BBTAG again. Then that turned into this.
So what I did was gather the character portraits for each franchise from their games (brownie points for anyone who can guess where I got the RWBY portraits from). Then I got the frame from the "Select The Order" screen and layered the franchise's color and the character.
So, obviously, I expanded the base roster from 20 to 30. I added the characters that were opponents in the Episode Mode and put them into the base roster, minus Aigis. I instead put Teddie and Rise to get the entire Investigation Team added. Same with Blake and Yang, so I can have Team RWBY in the base game.
For DLC, I kept the number to 33 at first, but I added one more, so Under Night can get nine characters added for DLC like BlazBlue and Persona. I added characters who might be easiest to add and duos/groups not in the game. For BlazBlue specifically, I added all of Central Fiction so they can get a dub. For RWBY specifically, I wanted to add only characters in that "announcer voice line leak," but I bent it to have Velvet since she can copy abilities, and I thought her moveset being her copying other RWBY characters' fighting styles and weapons could be interesting. Also, I replaced Blitztank with Eltnum so we could have another franchise, and I thought her color could be like a Wine color.
So the total number of characters is 64, which is 11 more characters than the actual game. I had fun making this. Still think I could make it more polished and a little less generic, but I think it's a good representation of my Photoshop skills as of now.

All Roads Lead To Cross Tag Battle 😔
r/blazbluextagbattle • u/JJFRENZY • Jul 07 '26
HELP/QUESTION How do the other games stack up?
So I’ve been playing Cross Tag Battle for a very long time and I was curious how original Blazblue, P4AU, and Under Night In-Birth individually played. So I bought Blazblue for about $10 and I immediately regret the purchase cause it is the single most unnecessarily complicated game I’ve ever played! Genuinely trying to complete the training guide and Es’s(she’s one of my mains) felt having your teeth yanked out of your mouth.
Bottom line how does Persona 4 Arena Ultimax and Under Night In-Birth play compared to Cross Tag Battle? My hopes aren’t exactly high given how astronomically terrible normal BlazBlue was.
Edit: just for clarification while I mash(kind of) for the most part I am capable of doing most Cross Tag Character Combos from the training mode, usually 1-3or4 though a few I have gotten all 6. But trying to play normal BlazBlue is way more complicated and challenging for absolutely no reason and was so frustrating I couldn’t even get through Es’s character tutorial.

HELP/QUESTION Last played 5 years ago. (2021) did they reduce the combo limit?
Decided to revisit bbtag for fun, I used to main Vatista/Mika (in it for the lulz).
I used to be able to do Mika JL JL jump JL JL JC at the end of a combo but now I find myself whiffing this consistently.
Vatista ender of JC 5Aaa also seems to whiff if done at the end of a very long chain.
The issue is, I really don't remember the combo limit window being this small? When did this change happen? Any info dump would be greatly appreciated.
