BlazBlue is the biggest anime fighting game franchise (at least in size) of all times, offering a huge roster of 36 unique characters, in glorious 2D Sprite detail! What's even better, each one's story is heavily expanded upon throughout all the BlazBlue games, setting the example for other fighting game developers!
Another amazing fact, is that so far every new BlazBlue game includes all previous characters, adding new ones, but never removing old ones!
We did include the BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle "spin-off" in this list, as it's mainly a BlazBlue game from the original developers / publishers, but other than that we are focusing only on the main BlazBlue series, and not other obscure console-specific spin-offs.
