Level 99 Games has no added Blazblue to their incredible EXCEED fighting card game.

Let’s say you love fighting games but for whatever reason can’t be bothered to play them on actual consoles of PC. Because this is the future and humanity has figured out a way to cater to every one of its needs no matter how strange or esoteric, there’s an actual card system out there for you to play fighting games without the need for thumbsticks.

It’s called EXCEED Fighting System, a card game where you play as a fighter in a fighting video game. There’s health, gauge and force meters, and movement and attacking–just like in a video game, only it’s made out of paper.

It sounds bizarre, but it’s actually a lot of fun. On top of that, you can play as your favorite Street Fighter character, your favorite Shovel Knight character, or as the headless protagonist from Dead Cells. How cool is that?

And now, Level 99 Games has added Japanese fighter franchise BlazBlue to the mix.

BlazBlue hasn’t had quite the traction in North America that it did in Japan–to the point where developer Arc System Works didn’t even bother giving the latest game an English dub. But BlazBlue’s quintessential Japanese-ness is really just part of the charm. It’s all over-the-top anime characters with swords and guns and magic powers packaged up in a very classic arcade-style fighting game.

And for some reason, none of the male characters have nipples. This isn’t truly relevant to characters that wear clothes, but not every BlazBlue character is wearing a shirt. It’s noticeable, and it’s weird, but it’s also apparently very Japanese.

Anyway, BlazBlue is coming to the EXCEED Fighting System for their Season 5 expansion. Four new box-sets are available that each contains four characters from BlazBlue, such as Ragna, Jin, Noel, and Hazama. Each character will have unique abilities and playstyles to add to your fighter roster.

Each box set is $34.99 with shipping to start in October. You can also get the Season 5 Bundle for $129.99 in case you want all four boxes, and the Season 5 Deluxe Bundle for $249.99 comes with 17 acrylic standees in case you really want to show your love of BlazBlue.
