Find out how to qualify for the ELEAGUE Injustice 2 World Championship

ELEAGUE have announced how players can qualify for the Injustice 2 World Championship, starting on October 21st. In order to include players from all over the world, competitors from all events on the Injustice 2 Championship Series will get a shot at competing at the Championship. The starting 16 will be formed from:

  • Eight players from the Injustice 2 Pro Series
  • Two players from the North American Hometown Heroes circuit
  • Two players from the European Path to Pro series
  • Two players from the Latin American La Liga series
  • Two players from the ELEAGUE Last Chance Qualifier

The Last Chance Qualifier will be on October 21st, and will no doubt feature some fierce competition as players battle for those final two spots. After that, the 16 combatants will be split into two groups of eight, where they will fight in a best of five, double-elimination bracket, with the top two from each group going forward.

The final four will then proceed to one last double elimination bracket, where the Injustice 2 World Champion will be crowned. Will Noble|Dragon hold onto his crown after his Evo 2017 win, or will we see someone else take the throne? As with the ELEAGUE Street Fighter V Invitational, all matches will be shown on either TBS or on the ELEAGUE Twitch channel.

Jubei overview video showcases the master’s prowess in the BlazBlue: Central Fiction update

Are you ready for the cat sensei? Jubei has plenty of hype behind him, and from what we can finally see in a video overview by Arc System Works, he lives up to it!

At last, we have a longer, more detailed look at what exactly Jubei does in a fight. Movement-wise, Jubei’s backdash can be performed out of a run in a way that crosses-up the opponent. He can also start running forward a lot faster if he does his regular backdash.

Jubei has two parry moves, forward A and forward B, and they target low or mid attacks. He can combo out of them. The Drive, “Shiranui,” marks the opponent. This interacts with one of his Distortion Drives, which will cross-up teleport the enemy if they’re marked. If Jubei uses his install-type Distortion Drive, “Immobility: Silk Lotus Formation,” his Drive changes to allow him to set up four marks on the screen. He dashes rapidly to those. The rest of his move set is also empowered, allowing him to do more follow-up attacks.

Two weaknesses that we can see outright are: very short attack range, and as demonstrated with a Ragna combo, and it appears that Jubei is in a “perma-crouching state,” at least for combo purposes. That means that other characters can automatically do their crouching confirms on him.

If you want to see his full move list with explained and translated attacks, check out the BlazBlue Wikia Jubei page.

I mean, look at that backwalk animation. You wouldn’t hit a kitty, would you?

Jubei is arriving shortly to BlazBlue: Central Fiction arcade cabinets — dated August 3rd. We have no console version confirmation yet.
