Unsheathe your blade with all of the known anime and manga references for Future Trunks in Dragon Ball FighterZ

Following the reveal of his official gameplay trailer at the Evo finals for Tekken 7, IKevinX has wasted no time in compiling all of the known anime and manga references for the new fighter.

Here, we can see that Trunks’ introductory scene and initial Super Saiyan transformation are beautifully replicated from the anime, as well as several of his moves being drawn from DBZ, Super, GT and even Extreme Butoden. We also see his signature Burning Attack — and all of its intricate hand motions-fully recreated, which looks especially cool in Arc System Work’s cel-shaded artstyle! Trunks also slices up Frieza with his sword, complete with split effects, culminating in the Shining Sword Attack that lead to the tyrant’s first demise. Lastly, we see his Lightning Sword Slash he used to vanquish Android 14 in Super Android 13! as well as his Heat Dome attack, fittingly used on Perfect Cell. You can see the full video with all the comparisons below.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is set to be released in early 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam. Sign-ups for a closed beta on PS4 will open on July 26th, and will feature all seven currently-revealed characters, as well as two more Z Warriors to be unveiled on July 21st in V-Jump magazine.

If you’d like to see more references to the source material for other fighters, check out Goku and Frieza, Teen Gohan and Vegeta and Perfect Cell and Majin Buu.

Red Bull talks with BlazBlue creator Toshimichi Mori on the possibility of more fighting games on the Switch

This generation, the console of choice for fighting games has primarily been the PlayStation 4, with the PC and Xbox One following up a bit behind. Nintendo’s consoles however –the late Wii U, and now the Switch — have traditionally been bereft of fighting games save for a few outliers and Nintendo’s own Super Smash Bros. series. However, that doesn’t meant that this can’t change.

One person who believes that the Switch can be a system for fighting games is BlazBlue creator Toshimichi Mori. The Switch, and the likelihood of a BlazBlue title appearing on it, were topics that were brought up in a recent interview with Mori on Red Bull eSports.

Regarding the Switch, Mori believes that with the introduction of titles such as ARMS, fighting games can find a home on Nintendo’s hybrid console. As for BlazBlue — the logo of which was spotted in list of upcoming titles for the Switch at a Nintendo event earlier this year — Mori states that he “unfortunately can’t say much today.”

Of course, this is just part of what they talked about. Mori also talks about BlazBlue itself and continuing after the end of the “Ragna Arc.” Additionally, he also talks about supporting players, even going as far as stating which specific player he’d like to support.
