As previously reported, Eliza will be returning to Tekken 7 as a DLC character. She first appeared as a fan-voted character in Tekken Revolution, where Eliza had some unique mechanics tied to her sleep and blood-sucking abilities.

When she makes her Tekken 7 appearance, it seems that Eliza will be bringing with her yet another new mechanic: meter management. In a recent tweet, Avoiding the Puddle’s Flying Wonkey shared a screenshot of Eliza and pointed out that she now came with a 2 meter.

Now meter isn’t something that’s completely new to Tekken 7. However, prior to this, only Street Fighter guest character Akuma had meter, reflecting his roots in that series. Eliza thus represents the first homegrown Tekken character to have a meter.

How exactly Eliza will use this meter–whether it’ll be just like Akuma’s, or if it’ll be tied to her blood-drinking mechanic, is as of yet unknown. We’re bound to learn more about this as more information is dropped in the coming months.

Capcom’s two worlds will collide soon!

UDON’s next big Capcom comic event is almost upon us; as previously reported, February will see Street Fighter vs. Darkstalkers #0 hit shelves. UDON Entertainment revealed today that the first true issue of the 8-issue series will roll out in April 2017, and will feature a number of variant covers, as usual!

From UDON Entertainment:

Street Fighter VS. Darkstalkers #1 sports two standard covers. Series artist Edwin Huang provides the Wraparound Story cover (CVR A). Rob “Robaato” Porter illustrates the Midnight Bliss cover (CVR B), which features an array of fighters who have succumbed to Demitri’s gender-swapping power–in fact, issue #1-4’s CVR B will connect to form one massive four-part Midnight Bliss image!

Also available for Street Fighter VS. Darkstalkers #1 is a special Blank Sketch cover (CVR C) and two retailer incentive covers. The Movie Poster incentive cover (CVR D) by Joe Vriens pays tribute to a classic horror movie poster, while popular cover artist Stanley “Artgerm” Lau provides a Guest Artist incentive cover (CVR E) showcasing leading ladies Chun-Li and Morrigan.

UDON has also teamed up with some righteous retailers to produce epic retailer-exclusive variants! Focus Attack, the top-tier arcade parts e-commerce shop, will be selling an exclusive wraparound cover by Jeffrey “Chamba” Cruz, that pays homage to a classic Capcom Secret File cover. It will be available in both full color and black-and-white line art versions at focusattack.com.

Meanwhile, Fried Pie Comics will be selling their own Street Fighter VS. Darkstalkers #1 exclusive cover by Jean-Baptiste Nanteau. This cover connects with Fried Pie’s exclusive cover for Street Fighter VS. Darkstalkers #0 to form a terrifying two-part image! Fried Pie variant covers are available through Books-A-Million and 2nd & Charles stores.
