Everyone has a fighting chance
Those participating in Dragon Age: Inquisition multiplayer will be happy to hear that the DAI HQ has been released. Players can use a web-based or mobile version of the DAI HQ to track their multiplayer characters including accumulated experience and equipment, which challenges have been completed and leaderboard information. The Dragon Age: Inquisition HQ is very similar to the one created several years ago for Mass Effect 3’s multiplayer component.

This morning has seen a flurry of information released for Killer Instinct’s upcoming second season character Riptor, and for good reason. As a returning fighter from previous installments, she represents both the history of the popular franchise as well as how it has moved forward on Xbox One.
In addition to the announcement trailer, a few more details were released courtesy of an interview GameSpot held with key Microsoft Studios employees as well as a live broadcast the developers (still going strong here), both of which provided a clearer look at Riptor’s fighting style that may not have been expressed as well in the short reveal.
One of the main points the developer seem to want folks to know about Riptor is that much of her moveset from older titles has been carried to the reboot, including attacks like her tail flip, fire breath, and jumping rake–but that doesn’t mean she still hasn’t seen some modification. “Arguably, she’s easier to play,” creative director Adam Isgreen mentioned during his interview with GameSpot. “That was a big goal of ours, to make sure that she’s intuitive, that you can get into it and get a lot done without needing a lot of technical skills.
“She can literally go heavy punch, heavy punch, heavy punch, and then go with an ender and get a combo out of it.”
While the aforementioned interview focused a lot more on the story details that allow Riptor to return to the Killer Instinct universe, this afternoon’s live stream gave a much closer look at the raptor’s extensive movelist.
This time around, Riptor has two dedicated buttons for certain attacks–heavy punches will always involve fire and heavy kicks will always incorporate her tail. Furthermore, all of her attacks can be canceled into another move which, paired with the expanded toolset she’s given during forward run, backward run, her unique Predator stance, and more, provides the cybernetic weapon a ton of versatility no matter the situation.
We’ve included an archive of Microsoft’s stream below, so be sure to check that out for more information on how Riptor will play when she joins the cast on December 17.

It’s been a while since we last heard from ArmchairTitan, but to make up for the absence, their most recent impractical Ultra Street Fighter IV combo video is a double feature showcasing Ryu and Ken.
These two fighters are known for plenty of things around the fighting game community, but flashy combos don’t usually make it onto that list. As you might expect, there are some character-specific strings, some ridiculous juggle scenarios, and all sorts of other happenings that will never make it out of the training room.
As always, ArmchairTitan combines these combos with a particularly potent blend of comedy and fantastic editing to make a video that entertains like no other combo videos can.

Earlier this morning, a very special reveal trailer was released for Killer Instinct’s Riptor. Like many videos of its kind, however, it didn’t provide a whole lot of information about how the upcoming character will play.
Fortunately, Microsoft Studios has gone live with a special broadcast dedicated to the bionic dinosaur and her primeval moveset. If you’re interested in seeing what she is capable of ahead of her release later this week, be sure to tune in live below.
