Bring on the bloodshed with this 2.0 Ragna the Bloodedge combo tutorial video

It’s time to dust off the protagonist, Ragna the Bloodedge. The main character of BlazBlue: Central Fiction received some tuning in the 2.0 update. As typical for most of the cast, these aren’t really sweeping changes that dramatically affect his gameplay. However, there are some new combo paths and more optimal sequences that can boost your damage and bring on more pain to the opponent.

Hentaitop comes back with another combo collection video. As usual, they provide a really good primer at the beginning that explains notation, and all the move names in Japanese and English. Every combo has damage and inputs listed. You’ll see a variety of combo starters to give you all-around knowledge of Ragna’s combos. The video ramps up the damage later on as it reaches Rapid Cancel and Overdrive sections.

The same author also recently published an accomplished Terumi combo tutorial video.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 will feature fully playable versions of Virtua Fighter 2 and VIRTUAL-ON

If you cast your minds back to 2016, you may remember that we reported that Yakuza 6 will allow players to play an emulated version of Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown within its in-game arcades. Well, with the recent announcement of Yakuza Kiwami 2, you’ll be able to go further back into Sega’s history.

Located within one of Kiwami 2’s Club Sega arcades, wannabe gangsters can play a few rounds of either Virtua Fighter 2 or VIRTUAL-ON. From on the little footage we’ve seen, it’s not currently known if these emulations are based on the original arcade games, or their Sega Saturn ports.

For those who never played these classics — or simply want a trip down memory lane in between beating up street thugs — keep a look out for Yakuza Kiwami 2 when it comes to the West in 2018. The Yakuza development team are also working on a Fist of the North Star-themed Yakuza game, so we may even see a port of Hokuto no Ken making it into that dream crossover!
