Fenrich and Iwashi play in a celebratory BlazBlue: Central Fiction tournament post Arc Revo victory

Recently, Athena Ipponbashi in Japan hosted a special 2v2 BlazBlue: Central Fiction tournament. The event celebrated the recent Arc Revolution champs, who beat out everyone else at the Toushinsai 2017 competition. The duo, of course, is composed of the most famous Jin Kisaragi player in the world, Infinity Osaka|Fenrich, and his brother, Iwashi, who plays Ragna the Bloodedge.

The two clips below show the special tournament. Various players take on the two brothers. The footage is divided into IO|Fenrich and Iwashi’s sides. IO|Fenrich tinkers a bit with his Azrael and Izanami at first, while Iwashi remains Ragna throughout.

The celebration was complete with a cake made for the two brothers:

FightersLegend’s Tekken 7 combo exhibition maps out potential juggles and utility for every character’s Rage Drive

While Rage Arts may have been the cinematic gimmick that pulled a new generation of players into the Tekken universe, Tekken 7‘s Rage Drive is generally the safer and more practical use of your Rage meter.

Depending upon the character you can get comparable — if not outright better — damage in your juggles with proper Rage Drive use, and they almost always either provide frame advantage or some other form of useful utility. FightersLegend‘s latest combo compilation shows off both for the entire currently released cast, giving you a frame of reference if there’s a new character you’re interested in picking up.

Reach out to the Truth once again! Persona 4 Arena is now Xbox One backwards compatible

One of the most notable features of Microsoft’s Xbox One is the Backwards Compatibility Program, which allows users to play various titles from the original Xbox and Xbox 360 on the company’s newest console — offering an ever-growing list of over 450 classic titles spanning every genre imaginable. This has proven to be fantastic news for fighting game fans, as titles like Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Tekken 6, Virtua Fighter 2, Street Fighter IV, The King of Fighters Neowave and more are available to be enjoyed digitally by veterans and newcomers alike.

The P-1 Grand Prix now resumes with the Xbox 360 version of 2012’s Persona 4 Arena, the original collaborative work between ATLUS and Arc System Works. Earlier today, it was announced as the latest fighting title to join the service, alongside other games such as Cars: Mater-National, Jewel Quest and Tecmo Bowl Throwback. Unfortunately, the 2014 sequel, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax has not become part of the Program yet, but that will hopefully change in the near future. You can see the announcement tweet from Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb, below — and you can also jump back into the TV World as a Games On Demand title for a cool $29.99 on the Xbox 360 Marketplace, if you don’t already own it.

Fittingly enough, it has also been announced that another Persona 4 Arena character — likely the Investigation Team’s Yukiko Amagi — will be amongst the next round of character reveals for the upcoming BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle this Friday.
