I initially got into the Blazblue series because I thought it would be a relatively easy start to get into the anime fighting game genre. Boy was I wrong about the difficulty. Thankfully the series is insanely fun to make up.
The Drive system is a great way to give characters unique gimmicks. The mechanics are pretty rich, detailed AND fast-paced. It does lead to "degenerate" characters who can take advantage of systems better, but the fact most characters can compete fine shows how great Blazblue CF meta ended after all the balance patches were done.
The single player content is pretty rich with a story, training, and a bunch of side modes. The actual story narrative is way too complex for its own good but is thankfully carried by the character interactions and voice acting. Helps I'm a visual novel fan so didn't mind all the text.
ArcSys adding rollback for godsend for competition. When I was addicted to this game in the late 2010s I had to deal with inconsistent delay.
