The voice actors for Goku and Vegeta will clash in a Dragon Ball FighterZ Super Saiyan Showdown on January 25th

We saw the trash talk on Twitter, we saw the gauntlet being thrown down and now we have a date for this epic voice actor battle! Organized by Funimation, Bandai Namco and Esports Arena, Christoper Sabat (voice of Vegeta, Piccolo and Yamcha) will face off against Sean Schemmel (voice of Goku and King Kai) in a special Dragon Ball FighterZ showdown!

The event will take place on January 25th at the Esports Arena in Santa Ana, with tickets being available soon for those who want to see this Super Saiyan showdown. If you can’t make it out to Esports Arena, Funimation are planning to stream this epic clash on Twitch, Twitter and Facebook Live. Expect more details in the coming days regarding exact times and how to secure a ticket.

Now the date is locked in — who is each Saiyan going to play? I can easily see Sabat using Vegeta, Yamcha, and Piccolo (as he voices all three), while Schemmel may even opt for Team Triple Goku, seeing as Goku Black, Super Saiyan Goku and SSB Goku are all playable. Sabat has already been getting some early pointers from some FGC heads on Twitter, so expect the Prince of all Saiyans to come into this bout with some nasty set-ups.

Zorine Te discusses recent fighting game news in the inaugural episode of 1-2 Punch

FGC news on the radio? Who would have ever thought this medium would accommodate us? Yet, here we are. Zorine Te — formerly of Yahoo! Esports — is now doing a fighting game-centric radio program on the FNTSY Sports Network, entitled 1-2 Punch, and the replay of the first episode was uploaded shortly after it was broadcast.

In this episode, Zorine talks about various tournaments that have happened in recent times. She then discusses other news, such as K-Brad’s leaving Evil Geniuses and the potential issues surrounding the team. She also talks about the potential for fighting game reality shows that are happening with recent casting calls for amateur players.
