Go back in your mind to the early days of gaming. The year is 1982, Mario isn’t a household name yet, Pac-Man is taking over arcades, and you’re headed to the store to check out what’s new in the Atari library. Odds are if you were an avid video game…

Of all the upcoming characters coming to Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle’s arcade version and future DLC, Teddie here’s probably the most recognizable.
