Zidiane Explores Cerebella’s Battle Butt Points in Skullgirls Encore

One of the neat little easter eggs in Skullgirls Encore is how, as an homage to classic brawler Battletoads, Cerebella’s Battle Butt attack causes points to appear when used to knockout an opponent. What’s interesting about this is that the game actually allows you to get more than the usual 2,000 points, depending on how you use the move.

For those interested in this interesting system (solely for style of course, as the numbers are purely aesthetic), Zidiane recently released a video guide demonstrating situations where you can increase the amount of points you get out of Battle Butt.

KVO x TSB Heads to Osaka with New Lineup, Evo 2015 Qualifiers

Known as one of the premier Japanese tournaments for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, KVO is back with an unexpected twist – this time around, it’s a joint venture between Japanese and American tournament organizers, Kyamei and St1ckbug.

The tournament itself is slated to bring more high-level competition with its prospective lineup, but is also focused on creating cultural exchange between players from Japan and the numerous participants and viewers from outside the country.

KVO x TSB is scheduled to take place in Osaka from May 2 to May 4, with livestreams provided by GodsGarden for Japanese speakers and OgreLive for English speakers.

While KVO has a history of catering to both popular and lesser known titles, KVO x TSB will top the previous entries by running eleven titles in three days, two of which–Guilty Gear XRD -SIGN- and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax–will also serve as Evo qualifiers courtesy of St1ckbug and Stunedge, respectively.

More information, as well as a list of games, can be found on the KVO and Team St1ckbug websites. For those hoping to join Team St1ckbug on their excursion to Japan, a helpful guide on what to expect has been posted by St1ckbug himself.

For other players outside of Japan hoping to make the trip or need assistance with signing up, St1ckbug is offering direct assistance via Twitter.
