Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Blade to Blade

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Blade to Blade is a spinoff to Xenoblade Chronicles 2. While the main game is a JRPG, this game instead has players take control of the Blades from the main game, as well as others, in a Fighting Game. It is animated in the style of an Arc System Works game, meaning 2D, anime-like animation.
==Gameplay==
The gameplay seems similar to a certain Capcom Game. Before a round starts, players are able to choose 3 Blades, the first being the one that goes out into the field while the other 2 are put in reserve. In battle, players are able to unleash light, medium, and heavy attacks, as well as put in various inputs, as well as chain together attacks to perform combos. Additionally, players are able to call in allies to either switch control to them or so they can attack to either defend the player or extend the combo.
===Classes===
In the original game, Blades were given roles specific to the kind of weapon they wielded. And that applies here. Blades classified as attackers can reduce the amount of health enemies can recover the more of them there are on the team. Blades classified as tanks lose less health when they block attacks the more tanks there are on the team. Blades classified as healers make the number of health Blades on their team recover last longer the more they are on the team. Carefully plan out your team, and take the competition!
===Blade Combos===
In the original game, Blades and Drivers can work together to make things significantly easier for themselves. When they perform specials, after three Blades use specials in under a certain amount of time, they'll hit their foes with a debuff. That applies here too. Each Blade has a specific element to it, and, depending on which element Blade you're using at the end of your Blade combo, you can hit the opposing team with any of 8 debuffs. To perform a Blade combo, you have to first initiate the combo with one special of a level of at least 1, follow up with a special of a level of at least 2, and finish with a special of at least level 3. If you don't follow up each stage of the combo within 8 seconds, the combo ends prematurely, and you won't get any of the bonuses.
*Finish with Fire - Reduce the enemies' special gauge a little bit
*Finish with Water - Prevent the enemies from being able to knock the current Blade into the reserves
*Finish with Wind - Randomly make the enemies' attacks not cause knockback
*Finish with Dark - Make the enemy unable to swap Blades for a while.
