Gatoray demonstrates fireball invincibility buff for EX Assault Raptor in King of Fighters XIV

Can’t get past fireballs as King of Dinosaurs? Pop Max Mode and say goodbye to all your projectile-based worries!

One of the buffs that Version 2.00 of King of Fighters XIV brought the prehistoric wrestler is projectile invincibility on his jumping command grab, “EX Assault Raptor”. While it’s unlikely Joe will spend his entire meter full screen, Gatoray’s most extreme examples are an entertaining look at just how strong Dinosaur’s Max Mode options are now. Between this and normal Assault Raptor’s new ability to grab crouching opponents, King of Dinosaurs has real uses for his big, leaping bites.

See Tekken 7’s Arcade Mode in action, with this playthrough from Maximilian

Thanks to a recent visit to Bandai Namco’s US offices, notable FGC YouTuber Maximilian got the chance to record a playthrough of Tekken 7’s Arcade Mode. Using Jin for the duration of the session, Max ran through the five fights you will experience on a standard Arcade playthrough, complete with a final battle with Akuma.

For most of the video, Max provides his thoughts and impressions of playing Tekken 7 before its official June 2nd release. His first impressions are extremely positive, praising the game’s movement and neutral game. Unfortunately, he was not able to get any information from the Bandai Namco staff about Tekken 7’s netcode, so we will have to wait closer to launch for news on that. As for the Arcade Mode itself, Max reckons that he did not unlock everything during his recorded runs, as he did not encounter the signature final boss fight you usually get in most Arcade Modes. You do get different final fights depending on the character you pick, so expect there to be some special unlock conditions to access a potential secret fight.

Expect more Tekken 7 news to be coming as we get closer to its June 2nd release.
