The Phantom Gundam and Nightingale show off their stuff in these new Gundam Versus trailers

As previously reported, Gundam Versus is getting a couple of new DLC mobile suits later this month. These are the EMS-TC02 Phantom Gundam and the MSN-04II Nightingale. For those wondering how these two mobile suits will look and play like in the game, Bandai Namco has recently released trailers for them.

Coming from the manga spin-off Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Ghost, the Phantom Gundam, piloted by Font Baud comes with its “Butterfly Busters,” “Flame Sword,” and of course, it’s vaunted “Minovsky Drive” which provides the suit with a number of buffs, including the “Wings of Light.”

Meanwhile, the Nightingale from the Mobile Suit Gundam Char’s Counterattack – Beltorchika’s Children novelization, piloted by the famous Char Aznable, is a buffed-up version of the MSN-04 Sazabi from the original movie. It features an impressive array of weapons, including the infamous “funnel” attack drones that allow it to fire an impressive spread of beams.

Both of these will be available for purchase in over the PlayStation Network in Japan for ¥602 on September 26. Meanwhile, Gundam Versus hits North America, Southeast Asia, and Europe on September 29.

Mortal Kombat Funko Pop figures are launching this November

If you’re looking to expand your Funko Pop collection with some fighting game characters, you better start saving your cash for this November. Funko have teamed up with NetherRealm Studios to announce a line of special Mortal Kombat-themed figures.

The base set of figures includes Sub-Zero, Raiden, Scorpion, Kitana, and Liu Kang, as well as a limited edition Chase Sub-Zero. GameStop are stocking two limited editions — a 6″ Goro and a double pack of Scorpion and Sub-Zero, where Sub-Zero is on fire while Scorpion is made of ice. There is also a flaming skull Scorpion figure, which is suitably exclusive to Hot Topic.

All of these Funko Pops are based on character designs from Mortal Kombat X, so don’t expect to see any figures based on the classic Mortal Kombat ninjas just yet. You can check all of the figures below, or over on the Funko Pop website.

Perfect your rhythm with mastermind’s Lucky Chloe tutorial for Tekken 7

When Lucky Chloe was first unleashed on the world, there was fear that she was the Eddy Gordo stand-in for Tekken 7. Now that we’ve all had time to experiment with her (and, perhaps more importantly, contrast her with Eddy’s moveset) we can see that this is far from the case. Nevertheless, the arguably bottom tier newcomer appears to simultaneously stump new players learning her, and frustrate opponents that haven’t figured out what she’s doing yet.

For both sides, mastermind has put together an hour-and-a-half long tutorial for G-Corp’s popstar. This excellent tutorial breaks down Lucky Chlol’s primary pokes, punishment, and overall game-plan. Settle in with this dance lesson and you’ll know how to fight — and fight against — Lucky Chloe’s moves in no time.
