LI Joe gets his hands on Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite in this offscreen footage from GameStop Expo

It’s been over a week since Gamescom and as such, players are most likely suffering from withdrawal from Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite gameplay footage. Luckily for those people, Capcom brought the game to the GameStop Expo in Las Vegas this past weekend.

One player who was at GameStop Expo was the real American hero himself, Joe “LI Joe” Ciaramelli, who got a chance to play the game against other players and against Capcom’s staff. Btide, who was also at the event, got to record some of LI Joe’s matches and has uploaded them onto his channel.

Now while the footage isn’t direct feed footage, we do see to get some decent character usage — including footage of characters like Hulk, who we haven’t really seen much footage of as of late.

S.H. Figuarts Akuma and R. Mika are ready for action

And posing perfection!

First showcased during San Diego Comic Con 2017, the product listings for the S.H. Figuarts Akuma and Rainbow Mika are now live on Tamashii Nation’s Street Fighter landing page. These figures are the next in line of the Street Fighter series, following Rashid and Cammy who released on August 25 and the earlier-released Ryu and Chun-Li collectibles. Both of the highly articulated action figures will include multiple faces, hands, and accessories to help stage your favorite fights from Street Fighter V. (Ominous Raging Demon kanji not included.)

Akuma’s product description page is currently active giving more insight to what is included along with the figure, like his signature Gohadouken. R. Mika’s page is not yet available, but most details can be determined through the product photographs featured in the gallery below. Surely, additional details for R. Mika will follow soon. Hopefully, she comes with her handy microphone as displayed in her photo set. The Akuma figure is set to release in Japan this upcoming January, and according to the collectible specialized news site, Toyark, R. Mika will release shortly afterward in February 2018.

Take a look at Jubei’s challenges and special interactions in BlazBlue: Central Fiction

The famous cat Sensei from BlazBlue: Central Fiction‘s Story Mode is finally a playable character on home consoles! Now that he’s here, are you ready to learn him? Get studying.

Monarch has recorded all the Jubei Challenge Mode combos for your perusal, if you aren’t able to play him currently. The missions range from Normal to Hard and Expert. They typically extend or build on the earlier combos introduced. They also showcase a variety of confirms: from various positions like air and corner, from an overhead starter and the special counters he has.

Having tried some of these challenges myself, for the most part, the inputs aren’t that challenging. What’s harder though is getting used to the way his normal attacks work. Most of them have two parts, like 5C and 3C. Knowing whether to hit with one strike or two is very important.

Additionally, SyaoranQ8 compiled a showcase of all the special win and pre-battle interactions Jubei has in the game.

Read up on our summary of the BlazBlue: Central Fiction 2.0 launch and for more help, look at these Jubei combos from Hima.
