The broadcast tonight will be all about this weekend’s Killer Instinct World Cup. If you plan on watching but don’t know much about the Killer Instinct scene, this will be a perfect opportunity to learn about the game, the players, the storylines, and more heading into this exciting event.

The stream will be live in this article, but you can also visit Twitch to join the chat.

Today marks the release of BlazBlue: Central Fiction’s ‘Act2’ update, which, among other things, adds series antagonist Hades Izanami to the playable cast. As they are often wont to do, developer Arc System Works recently hosted a special broadcast to highlight what this new character brings to the table.

During the exhibition, ArcSys staffers were broken up into two teams, one focused entirely on Izanami and the other open to use any character they liked. While official archives have yet to be made available, a YouTube user by the name of Shado Onikkusu has provided a playlist of the matches they streamed.

As we previously reported, Izanami utilizes a unique float mechanic (replacing a double jump) to overcome foes. By activating her “Yasakani no Magatama,” she gains access to more attacks but loses the ability to block.

This is the first Izanami gameplay footage we’ve received outside of the reveal trailer, so check it out and let us know what you think.

And for an added bit of spookiness, here’s her Astral Finish.

We’re sure to receive a veritable flood of Izanami footage thanks to the update’s release, so stay tuned for more.
