Capcom Pro Tour Shines a Light on Infexious After Strong FFM-Rumble #8 Performance

Capcom_Pro_Tour_Rize-Infexious_622_crop

Capcom is trying something new for its Pro Tour player spotlights, shifting from their focus on known top players to any exciting competitors from the circuit’s various events.

The first person to receive such a highlight is Rize|Infexious, who created quite a stir at Germany’s FFM-Rumble #8 with his amazing Hugo play. Infexious fought hard all the way into the event’s top sixteen, his biggest moment coming when he eliminated Mad Catz’ Tokido in an amazing upset of a match.

In this spotlight article, Infexious talks about not just this match, but also provides some insight into Hugo’s matchup against Sagat (when he faced Demulant), talking about how the Mad Gear can keep the King of Muay Thai honest by utilizing Hugo’s strong pokes and generally playing a solid neutral game.

As for the match against Tokido, he gives credit to the fact that he was able to play the Japanese competitor in a casual set before the tournament. Aside from that, he also says that gaining a clutch win during what would have been Tokido’s match point round allowed him to compose himself and build some momentum towards winning the set.

Of course, this isn’t all that they talk about, so be sure to head on over to the original article for more.

Senran Kagura’s Homura Heading to Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel

DengekiPS_Nitro+_Blasterz_Homura_EXAMU’s latest visual novel-based fighting game, Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel, will be coming to home consoles later this year. When it does, it will do so with at least one more character than it had in the arcade.

According to the latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation magazine, Homura from Marvelous Entertainment’s Senran Kagura series will be making an appearance as a guest character.

This isn’t the first time that Marvelous, who is publishing the console versions of the game, has pushed Senran Kagura related content onto a fighting game. Previously, as part of a deal with Tecmo Koei, Dead or Alive 5 Last Round saw special Senran Kagura-themed costumes add as part of a downloadable content pack. This is the first time, however, that an actual character from the series has been made playable in a fighting game.

Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel is currently set to launch on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 sometime later this year.
