Month: November 2017

After their reveal in V-Jump last week, the Dragon Ball FighterZ website has been updated with the official character profiles for Kid Buu, Ultimate Gohan and Gotenks. While most of the information in these profiles is the same as what was in V-Jump, we’ve got a little more on how Gohan’s “Unlock Potential” Super works.

Rather than just being a flat power-up, this Install Super changes the functions of certain moves. I imagine the amount of augmented moves will change based on the number of Super bars you use for this Super — so one bar may only power up your standard Kamehameha, while using all seven bars will boost every one of Gohan’s moves.

This website update also included more information on Dragon Ball FighterZ‘s Arcade Mode, and it may have sunk the theory that Hit was hidden in that V-Jump screen. The website shows a high-quality version of the same screen that was in V-Jump, and you can clearly see that it is Ginyu, not Hit on the Arcade Mode path. If you want to see translated versions of the character profiles and the Arcade Mode information, head on over to ShonenGamez.

For those expecting to play Dragon Ball FighterZ at PlayStation Experience, you’re going to be a bit disappointed. Not only is DBFZ not on the list of playable games, but Bandai Namco is not even listed as an exhibitor at the show. Don’t worry about not getting your DBFZ info fix for December though, as the anime-centric Jump Festa happens a week after, where Bandai Namco are planned to show off their line-up for 2018.

Some much-requested art from UDON is getting the premium wall print treatment.

Since UDON Entertainment started offering its artwork as premium wall prints through Focus Attack, two multi-cover spreads from the comics have been much-anticipated; now it looks like we’ll finally be able to pick up the collected “Midnight Bliss” (from Street Fighter vs. Darkstalkers) and Shadaloo Dolls (from Street Fighter Legends: Cammy) cover art in all their 16″x42″ glory.

Players have asked @UdonEnt for these since they debuted on their respective comic series: Street Fighter vs Darkstalkers and Cammy Legends. Coming in December, you can get these as large 16×42" high-resolution prints! Details in the coming weeks. pic.twitter.com/HPk2w9TaIH

As hard as it is to believe, one of Arc System Works’ newer franchises, BlazBlue, is nearly ten years old now. Are you feeling old yet? To celebrate, ASW put up a new, commemorative site which provides useful tidbits about the franchise.

Though it’s only in Japanese, the BlazBlue 10th Anniversary website lets you read up on all the games in the series, from Calamity Trigger to Central Fiction. There’s also a section on all the characters, including those who appeared only in novels, comics, and side works. The “Creators” page only talks about Toshimichi Mori for now, but it looks like more content will be added. There’s also a Character Popularity Poll and an Illustration Contest.

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger released in Japanese arcades on November 19th, 2008, followed up by consumer releases on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2009. At the time, it appeared to be a successor to the Guilty Gear series.

BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle is coming in 2018 on the PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
