New York’s TSB November special flying in select US-based Guilty Gear and BlazBlue competitors

The New York City anime scene is known for their popular Next Level Arcade and Team St1ckbug events. While they have local tournaments all the time, a November event is looking to heat things up by encouraging a few players from the fighting game to participate. With player support, there will be select Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 and BlazBlue: Central Fiction competitors, who have never been to a TSB event, joining the fray.

“As one of the premier Anime Locals in the country, we are always looking to grow, reach out to the community, and involve all of our viewers in the experience, no matter where they are,” the Matcherino event page states. The TSB staff elected three players from across the United States for BlazBlue and Guilty Gear.

For Guilty Gear, we have:

  • Voguekun — Kum Haehyun
  • Mr. Dolphin — May
  • Faulty Defense — Answer

As for BlazBlue, there are:

  • Tectal_Eastside — Mu=12
  • Fame96 — Susano’o
  • Milk Kaichou — Rachel

Final Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite character tutorials: Jedah, Frank West, Doctor Strange, Rocket, Firebrand, & Spider-Man

We’ve finally arrived at the final six official character tutorials for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite‘s 30-character launch roster, courtesy of FingerCramp and Unequalled Media. This final set looks at the “Distressed Lord Of Death” and co-ruler of the Dark Kingdom, Jedah Dohma, Frank West, Doctor Strange, Rocket Raccoon, Firebrand, and your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

As is customary, Capcom UK Community Manager Matt “The Street Writer” Edwards provides a brief character overview, before dissecting each fighter’s specials, Hyper combos, and unique skills — such as Spider-Man’s Web Glide or Jedah’s ability to cancel his forward and back dashes into each other for extremely tricky movement angles. He then moves on to basic and advanced combo breakdowns — displayed at both normal and 50% speed — before closing on a recommended choice of Infinity Stone. We also get a listen to each character’s new theme — though Firebrand’s mistakenly seems to use Arthur’s again. You can view all six videos below.

Capcom Japan has also released their own trailer for the self-proclaimed “Vampire Savior.”

You can view all of the other character tutorials that have been released at the links below.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam PC. The first six DLC characters, Sigma, Black Panther, Monster Hunter, Black Widow, Winter Soldier and Venom, will also likely get character tutorials closer to their releases.
