Here is Toaru Majutsu no VIRTUAL ON’s opening cinematic

As some of you may know, Sega is bringing back their seminal arena mech fighter VIRTUAL-ON, with a new crossover game. Toaru Majutsu no VIRTUAL-ON crosses the franchise over with Dengeki Bunko’s Toaru Majutsu no Index light novel series, setting the game up as a pseudo-esport in that universe.

For those who’re cautiously looking forward to this new VIRTUAL-ON installment, Sega has just released the opening cinematic for the game. Animated by J.C. Staff (the same studio behind the Toaru Majutsu no Index and Toaru Kagaku no Railgun), the cinematic features the song “Get Ready!”, sung by voice actresses Yuka Iguchi (Index) and Rina Sato (Mikoto Misaka).

Check out the opening cinematic below.

Toaru Majutsu no VIRUAL-ON launches in PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in Japan on February 15.

It’s a family affair: Red Bull Esports profiles FGC power couple Marcus “The Cool Kid 93” Redmond and Joy Goodwin

After his hype-inducing run at Red Bull Battle Grounds’ Last Chance Qualifier, you’ll probably want to know more about Marcus “The Cool Kid 93” Redmond. A pillar of the Chicago Street Fighter community, the former Alex main has really found his feet with Abigail, smashing up both the LCQ and Red Bull Proving Grounds with the Mad Gear gang boss.

While Redmond is tearing it up on the sticks, he’s got someone cheering out in the crowd. Redmond’s wife — Joy Goodwin — is his most ardent supporter, screaming her lungs out in support for her husband and to trash-talk his opponent. Inspired by the duo, Red Bull Esports have created a short profile of the two, following them through Red Bull Proving Grounds earlier this year. Goodwin is not a gamer herself but she is not only appreciative of the positive community surrounding the game, but proud of her husband’s work ethic and drive to be the best there is.

Goodwin was unfortunately not there to see her husband’s victory live last night, but Red Bull are flying her in today especially so she can provide her full support. Expect to hear her enthusiastic cheers on stream tonight as The Cool Kid 93 battles Punk in the first round of the CPT North America Regional Finals.
