SG X BBTAG Update #3

This third update for Skullgirls X BBTAG is gonna be an exciting announcement because we have a new character coming to my projects and being legal during my special online casual. Let's jump right in to find out who is the new character for Skullgirls X BBTAG.


"I am a diva of Bastet's Den. The just staff of justice. I am Eliza!"

You guessed it right here. Eliza is coming to Skullgirls X BBTAG and is being legal in my online casual because I actually made a Hakumen palette out of her to seal the deal that SUSANOOH is actually a perfect fit for a diva. You know that Hakumen uses ink effects in game? Well, since Eliza has a knack of blood and it comes in different colors on different palettes, I colored the effects black to turn blood into ink. Her Parasite, Sehkmet will use Susano'o's colors.


The comparison continues with a new update. During the BBTAG 2.0 period, it now has 15 eligible characters, with six characters assigned to BlazBlue themes, five characters assigned to P4A themes and four characters assigned to UNI themes while during the BBTAG 3.0 period, it now has 16 eligible characters, with six characters assigned to BlazBlue themes, six characters assigned to P4A themes and four characters assigned to UNI themes.

With Eliza now carrying the icon after finding out that I can actually make her a Hakumen palette for SUSANOOH to be a perfect fit because of her blood usage and splatter effects, the BBTAG 2.0 period has 15 eligible characters while the BBTAG 3.0 period has 16 eligible characters.


If I put together the playable characters and the non-playable characters that carry the icon that represents eligibility for Skullgirls X BBTAG, the BBTAG 2.0 period has 27 characters while the BBTAG 3.0 period has 32 characters.


On the projects department, we'll start with the elephant in the room, an update to my Discord server banner art. Because the BBTAG 2.0 period now has an odd number of eligible characters, I put Marie in Orie's colors on the middle and put Eliza in Hakumen's colors on the original position Marie was on. I also made the characters on the side a bit smaller to fit Marie in the middle.

This is actually a good placement because having an odd number of eligible characters during the BBTAG 2.0 period benefits Marie in Orie colors being faced by an even number of other characters in their BBTAG palettes; same number of characters on each side, which can make more sense because she is the current Skullgirl in Orie's colors being faced by an even number of other characters in their BBTAG palettes, hence the name "Skullgirls X BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle," considering Marie's Story Mode is gonna be half visual novel to entail on how she connects with the Skull Heart. Despite Marie being faced by other characters, her playable self will still be allowed.

Reminder: Marie's picture is subject to change and it's just a preview to show the other 14 characters in their BBTAG palettes facing the Skullgirl in Orie's colors. Same with other projects you will see later.

I'm gonna tell you this preview story, but it's not gonna be complete until I have a final picture of Marie. Skullgirls X BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle pits warriors in their BBTAG palettes against each other in a Dark Deco world and a Skullgirl appears to be Marie in Orie's colors.


An update on this graphic is obvious. The picture of Marie in Orie's colors is no longer on this one because Eliza in Hakumen's colors is now on there. But if I put Marie in a new position...


Boom, she is in the middle of this other graphic and this is actually a good placement too.

BBTAG 2.0:




BBTAG 3.0:


Eliza is now to be located after Big Band in Tager's colors and before Ms. Fortune in Makoto's colors on these graphics above that emulate the character select screen in BBTAG to match the introduction order. The BlazBlue row now has six characters depicting BlazBlue characters in both periods, with two Calamity Trigger newcomers, two Continuum Shift newcomers, one Chrono Phantasma newcomer and one Central Fiction newcomer.

BBTAG 2.0:


BBTAG 3.0:


The Skullgirls X BBTAG Palette Pack now has Eliza's Hakumen palette on both states because it is not in the game after looking through all of her palettes.


The splash art for the Skullgirls X BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle Palette Pack now has Eliza in Hakumen's colors.

But if any of you eagle-eyed fans look closer at Annie in Izayoi's colors, you will notice that her bloomers; her panties are now colored golden.


With the odd number of characters in their BBTAG palettes, my fanmade character select screen has a reposition and Eliza's portrait is now on here and the random selection is back. Marie is now on top of Eliza in the middle row. While the random square is not centered at the moment, Marie being on the top makes more sense.

Updated all of my projects to have Eliza in Hakumen's colors and they are coming along nicely even more.

Eliza coming to Skullgirls X BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle and making a Hakumen palette out of her as a cherry on top are not something that I would imagine that would happen and it's only because the usage of blood effects on her attacks is what makes SUSANOOH a perfect fit, so I colored it black to make it ink effects.

The golden age is coming to Skullgirls X BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle and with an odd number characters being legal during the current period, the fun never stops. Can't escape from crossing fate!
