Stream.me announce their Dragon Ball FighterZ league, named the Cell Games

Not wanting to waste any time, Stream.me have announced their own online tournament series for Dragon Ball FighterZ. Named after the fighting tournament organized by a certain robotic bugman, the Cell Games will see players competing for $5000 over a series of eight weekly tournaments.

Similar to other Stream.me tournaments like War of the Gods or Kombat Cup, each tournament will have a qualifying event on the Saturday, followed by a Top 8 on the following Tuesday. The Top 32 contenders from each week will earn circuit points, with the eight players with the highest scores qualifying for the season finale.

This first edition of the Cell Games is limited to North American PS4 players — so bad luck you FighterZ on PC and Xbox One. Week 1 of the Cell Games will kick off on February 10th, with the schedule and additional rules to be announced soon. As you can imagine, all of the action will be streamed over on Stream.me, with registration now open for the inaugural week of competition.

Will Zasalamel be reborn in SoulCalibur VI? Catch up on his past with History Behind the Warrior

The announcement of a new game in a fighting game franchise always revives hopes of certain characters making a comeback. Whatever the game may be, there are always one or two fan favorites that were, for whatever reason, left out of a particular iteration of a series.

One such character is Zasalmel, the scythe-wielding, death-seeking immortal warrior from the SoulCalibur series. As rumors begin to swirl of his return to the franchise in SoulCalibur VI, History Behind the Warrior has created a video breaking down who he is and what role he has played in the SoulCalibur storyline.

In many ways Zasalamel’s history is intertwined with that of the entire SoulCalibur series, since it was he who unified the Soul Calibur and Soul Edge swords and became the demonic final boss Abyss in SoulCalibur III. There’s more to his involvement in the game’s events than just that, so whether you’re looking to learn more about Zasalamel or just SoulCalibur itself, check out History Behind the Warrior’s video below.
