More BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle characters to be revealed in September

Earlier today, Arc System Works streamed a segment online. They teased that they would have some news regarding the highly anticipated BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle game, which was announced at Evolution 2017.

On the stream embedded below, the company began with a BlazBlue: Central Fiction tournament that prominently featured Jubei. At close to the two-hour mark, the company showed the reveal trailer to the BBXTAG game. There wasn’t any new info in it, however, after showing key character art for the four protagonists, they displayed a screen (the feature image of this article, above) that says more character reveals are coming in September.

It’s a teaser of a teaser, but Arc System Works has committed themselves to streaming at least once a month for the fans. Since Toshimichi Mori already revealed that the cast is mostly set. It looks like we can expect many announcements over the next coming months, especially since there will be numerous characters in the game.

Stay tuned to SRK as we find out more about BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle.

After the fight, the IBF ordered a fight between the American and Sergey Lipinets (12-0, 10 KOs), who was named Indongo’s mandatory challenger last December. But Indongo was given an exception to allow him to fight Crawford in the unification clash.

Loops, juggles, and even an unblockable: Menat day one video roundup for Street Fighter V

Menat just hit Street Fighter V, and already people are figuring out way to create nasty combos with her. Her floating crystal ball mechanic and her unique V-Trigger seem to allow her to be quite creative in her attack sequences.

Her sphere-generating V-Trigger, the Wisdom of Thoth, seems to be the most obvious source of unique combos. Players have been experimenting with ways to use the six spheres it generates for extra damage, as you can see in the videos below from AaronMan Pazzo, Blackguy500, Jedi P, and Clasico.

Meanwhile, Olaf Redland has taken some time away from analyzing Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite pre-release gameplay to demonstrate how jumping against Menat is a bad idea.

On a slightly different note, Asaad Nahar demonstrates how to use her V-Trigger to punish certain V-Reversal attempts.

Sonic Flash Kick offers a combo video for her that goes over a number of options, including meterless bread and butter combos, the usual flashy V-Trigger ones, and a few more in between.

For those looking for something meatier, TrueUnderDawgGaming has put out the following combo guide that covers her known combos in order of difficulty.

As expected, combo video wizard desk has also shared his take on V-Trigger combos for Menat. He uses it to set up some interesting and ridiculous-looking combos — including a couple of loops — in the videos below.

Team Razer’s Xian has demonstrated a different loop, this time using multiple jump-ins. More importantly, it works mid stage, and doesn’t need V-Trigger active at the start.

Meanwhile, EchoFox’s Momochi has put together his own impressive combo on his stream.

He also, demonstrated an unblockable set up for her Critical Art, as captured in this tweet. The unblockable apparently works the same way as Ed’s unblockable does.

Finally, Evo Japan’s Hameko demonstrates this sequence that can drain an entire lifebar — if Menat gets the throw reset after the first combo.
