Players looking to catch a glimpse of all 33 characters announced so far in Blazblue: Central Fiction will be able to see them in action on the Japanese website. All you need to do is scroll down and select the character of your choice.

The videos are brief but give a good idea of what each character offers when it comes to their unique gameplay style.

There is even a combo video of the recently announced, Es, from Xblaze: Code Embryo.

BlazBlue: Central Fiction is set to release in North America on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 sometime this winter.

After taking some time away to make editions of the series for Mortal Kombat XL, Killer Instinct and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, during his panel last week at Evo 2016, FGC content creator Maximilian announced the return of the series that started it all, Marvel Vs. Capcom Assist Me.  The show is still in early production, but more news will be coming in the future, as the crew just wanted to let the fans know they were working on it at this time.

For those unfamiliar with the series, it served as a Character Tutorial Series for many of Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3’s various cast members, with live-action skits mixed in, as Max and various actors playing the characters asking him for help in improving their abilities, getting into some comedic hijinks.

Doom, Wesker, Laura and Benny are back, with the trailer having a very Star Wars Episode VII vibe to it, as various scenes from the series are on display.  There are also appearances by Morrigan and Wolverine, who could possibly be two of the highlighted characters this Season?

This is certainly an entertaining development for fans of Marvel and of his work, and we’ll certainly pass along more details here at Shoryuken, as they become available.

What characters would you like to see covered in the next Season of the series?

Despite being small, the Killer Instinct community has come to be known as an extremely tight-knit group. They further displayed that solidarity by paying tribute to the late Terrance “Pusha T” Moore at Evo 2016. Moore passed away on October 17, 2014, after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest moments after competing on Stream at The Runback, and was unable to be revived.

Recognized as a large part of the Southern Californian KI scene, a gathering was held last Friday by Las Vegas player and Royal Flush 7 member Abel “Emperor Menzo” Arellano, which was attended by 31 players, including PAG|PinkDiamond, BH|Thompxson, and even international players Reto and OGTY.

Illya “C88 Ill Will” Walker, reflected on his teammate’s “contagious, positive spirit that is vital for the continued growth in the FGC.”  He also felt that Moore would want new players to be encouraged to continue playing the game, and was always a proponent of community building.

“Some people we didn’t know in the community; we just saw them playing the game and they just look like they were discouraged,” he said.  “Aye, let’s go cheer them on.  That’s what we do, that’s how we got around […] I am telling y’all that right now, we stayed to cheer on the winners and the losers as well.”

Pusha T was a great player, friend and man to so many people and he will certainly be missed, but one thing is certain, the KI community will never forget him.
