Upcoming Pokkén Tournament Patch Removes Shadow Mewtwo’s Infinite Blockstring

Pokkén Tournament for Nintendo’s Wii U will be getting an update soon, though the date of the update has yet to be revealed. This patch, which will bring the game up to version 1.2, is meant to address a number of bugs and glitches with the game.

The most notable change in this patch that has been revealed so far has to do with Shadow Mewtwo. Specifically, it removes its ability to perform an infinite blockstring to lock its opponent down and win matches without having to land a clean hit.

Aside from the changes to Shadow Mewtwo, the only other known adjustments are to the Reshiram support Pokémon.

Pokkén Tournament’s version 1.2 update is slated to come sometime early this month. Stay locked on to Shoryuken.com for more on this and other Pokkén Tournament news.

SNK Playmore Showing Off New Build of The King of Fighters XIV With 24 Characters On April 25

Despite all of the recent trailers that SNK Playmore has released for the King of Fighters XIV, we’ve yet to see any gameplay footage of the recently announced characters. However, that’s going to change soon with the company bringing a new build of the game to their King of Fighters XIV Experience event in Tokyo on April 25.

Taking place at the E-sports Square Akihabara, the event will allow Japanese players to get their hands on the King of Fighters XIV for the first time ever.The new build itself will feature 24 playable characters. While that doesn’t cover the entire cast, that’s more than any previous build has shown and should cover most of the newly announced characters.

For those who won’t be able to attend, SNK Playmore will also be streaming the event live on their Twitch channel.

Of course, this isn’t the only event with the King of Fighters XIV in Japan this month. The game, likely with the same 24 character build, will also be playable on KVO x TSB 2016 in Osaka on April 30.

The King of Fighters XIV will be coming out on PlayStation 4 sometime later this year.
