The last from the core set of RWBY‘s leading ladies, Yang, is here with a special crossover combo video. BlazBlue: Central Fiction‘s Bullet has a reference color to the blonde brawler and fits her fairly close thematically as well. Both fighters use special gloves on their hands to ignite melee attacks, and under certain conditions, they power up even more.

Bullet certainly has received some power-ups in version 2.0; her attack strings have many more possible combinations to mix up the opponent. As long as she can get past some zoning and use her power-up mechanic, she can do incredible amounts of damage. That’s conveyed very easily in this hype “I Burn” combo movie below. As seen in the previous RWBY-inspired videos, the footage plays a track from the show and some fight scenes that introduced Yang. The quite spectacular Yang combos are done by Hailey.

All the RWBY combo movies are now complete! Check out Es as Ruby, Izayoi as Weiss, and Taokaka as Blake. Soon enough, those characters will likely be able to pair up in BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle.

But wait… there’s one more video coming!

Over the course of the last few months, IKevinX has been making videos focusing on the numerous anime and manga references for the entire cast of Dragon Ball FighterZ, as Arc System Works has made a point to stick to the source material as closely as possible when crafting movesets and animations.

In one of his more recent videos, he decided to go back and cover some blatantly missed references for some of the older characters — though he ignored Goku (he’d like to make a full video about him once the game officially releases, and he needs more research time due to Goku having more fights than any other character). He’s also waiting to do a Tien video until he’s fully released in a playable state (perhaps during the upcoming open beta, or if he gets added added to a future convention build).

This video mainly covers things like Frieza’s updated intro animation where he powers up to 50%, as well as some missed attacks — such as being able to spend meter after exiting his Golden form to have Sorbet fire a blast from his ring at the opponent, in a callback to Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F. Androids 16 and 18 have many attacks taken form Banpresto’s Dragon Ball Z Super Battle 2, among other things. IKevinX also believes he’ll need to eventually make a Part 2, due to the massive influx of characters we’ve been getting lately. You can see the full video below, along with links to his coverage of past characters.

• Goku & Frieza
• Teen Gohan & Vegeta
• Perfect Cell & Majin Buu
• Future Trunks
• Krillin & Piccolo
• SSGSS Goku & Vegeta
• Androids 17 & 18
• Android 16
• Yamcha
• Character Concepts for Hit, Beerus, Goku Black & Zamasu
• Nappa

Dragon Ball FigherZ will be released on January 26th, 2018 in North America and Europe for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, with a Japanese release following on February 1st for those same platforms.

One of the most legendary names when it comes to combo video creators from back in the day is Magnetro. A very prolific creator in the community, especially when it came to Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Magnetro supposedly retired in 2010. However, after years away, he’s come back with another combo video.

Magnetro’s newest combo video, called “Chaos Dimension,” is once again focused on that most immortal of games, Marvel vs. Capcom 2. His return is due to the influence of yet another legendary combo video creator: Izumojin, who demonstrated ways of creating more MvC2 content using a PlayStation 2 emulator and save states. This allowed him to pursue ideas that he had since 2010, eventually coming up with enough for him to create this new video.

Even then, Magnetro actually delayed releasing this video for a couple of years (having completed it in 2015) before finally deciding to do so this year.

For more behind the scenes information on the video and the tech behind it, be sure to check out Magnetro’s extensive write up on his site.
