Gamespot Versus’ Capcom Vs. SNK 2 tournament shows Japan’s level prior to Evo Japan’s side tournament

With Bas hosting 72 players for Capcom Vs. SNK 2‘s side tournament at Evo Japan, it’s pretty obvious that the Japanese scene is gearing up for one of the biggest tournaments for the game in recent years. So it goes without saying that Gamespot Versus has seen regular attendees upping their play in readiness for the big event.

Thankfully, Silentscope has posted a replay of their most recent tournament — held just before Christmas — on his YouTube channel, so that we can see the level of play we can look forward to in two weeks! Will Bas hold onto his crown or will someone else become the new king of CvS2?

Dissidia Final Fantasy NT has got Cup Noodles DLC

Yes, you have read that right. Continuing an odd partnership that started in Final Fantasy XV, Dissidia Final Fantasy NT has got a special Noctis costume which can only be acquired by buying limited edition packs of Nissin’s Cup Noodles.

The costume in question is Noctis’ Royal Raiment — a sharp black suit that was itself pre-order DLC for Final Fantasy XV. To acquire this costume, players need to buy one of the Dissidia-branded Cup Noodles, take a picture of their receipt and text it to a special Cup Noodles promo number. Should the receipt be read correctly, you’ll be sent a text back with your download code for the Royal Raiment DLC.

It’s certainly a novel way of locking off costumes, but it’s no different to Street Fighter V‘s Red Bull costumes. At least Cup Noodles are marginally better for you than a can of Red Bull. For all the details on this promotion, head on over to Nissin’s Dissidia website.

Cloud805 vs. SonicFox: Two of the best in Marvel vs.Capcom: Infinite square off in a FT10 set at KIT 2018

Kumite In Tennessee 2018 took place last weekend and was host to several “Ultra Fight Night” exhibitions between top players for three titles which were Street Fighter V, Injustice 2, and Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, streamed by Panda X Gaming. While the two former exhibitions were first-to-seven, the latter set between the Battle of the Stones champion FORT|Cloud805 and the Evo 2015-2016 Mortal Kombat X champion Echo Fox|SonicFox was a first-to-10 affair, and was an amazing treat to watch if you’re an MvC fan.

The full set below clocks in at almost 50 minutes so it’s somewhat lengthy, but it’s definitely worth the watch. With Cloud805’s explosive team play of Dante, Zero, and the Soul Stone up against SonicFox’s now-infamous setplay with Jedah, Rocket Raccon, and the Space Stone, there’s no shortage of exciting back-and-forth action between these two top contenders.

Baiken master Shinjin publishes his first Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 combo movie

It’s high time the famous Swedish Baiken published his combo movie. This is definitely a big moment for any Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 Baiken main, but it’s also a treat for those who main other characters or those who don’t partake in Guilty Gear as much.

Set to a fitting rock theme, Shinjin shows off some very practical punishes, which is Baiken’s speciality, after all. But what’s more, he shows some optimized combos that decimate the opponent’s life bar as long as they are close enough to the corner for her damaging Dust loops. Midscreen, Shinjin shows some special juggles with the chain and a follow-up, Tetsuzansen. What’s really informative though is the corner throw section which teaches various Burst-baiting and Burst-safe spots, making Bursting unadvisable in those moments, because it would net a punishing, damaging combo. The rest is a visual treat, as it includes some stylish set-ups, like with Faust’s black hole item.

In addition to this must-see REV 2 video, Shinjin also has some great older Accent Core Baiken combo videos — highly recommend seeing them!
