Every now and then, a fighting game character comes along that breaks the rules a little, whether in shape, or size, or expected motion and movement. Characters like Skullgirls’ Big Band, Street Fighter V’s Abigail, Marvel vs Capcom’s Sentinel or, as revealed here, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle’s Blitztank.

Blitztank is the second “character” to arrive from military-based anime fighter Akatsuki Blitzkampf, joining comrade-in-arms Akatsuki. Things differ from the norm in that Blitztank is an actual tank. Straight up. No somersaults, no crouching, no off-the-wall jumps, just a massive fucking tank, coming to roll over your head.

If that wasn’t intimidating enough, Blitztank also has a terrifying skull adorned on its hood, giving opponents the dead-eye as it bombards them with explosive air and ground weaponry. Check it out for yourself in the trailer below.
