Start your Dragon Ball FighterZ saga off right with this beginner’s guide from Couch Warriors

Level up even faster with some help from the Couch Warriors!

Dragon Ball FighterZ has finally arrived — not a closed beta, not an open beta, not an open beta extension… the full game is actually here at last! And if you’re like the rest of us and jumping in to throw Kamehamehas at everyone you can, you might want a bit of guidance — especially if you’re completely new to the game, or even to fighting games in general.

For that, this guide from Couch Warriors has you well-covered. It starts with the basic controls and mechanics, and then breaks down more advanced aspects — how to read numpad notation (already second nature to some, alien to others), how to best utilize (and beat) Super Dash and Vanish, how to Instant Air Dash (9>6!), how use more effective manual combos, rather than relying on auto-combos, and more.

Check out the full Beginner’s Guide over on the Couch Warriors website!

Kayane provides early footage of French tournament players trying out SoulCalibur VI at Evo Japan

A problem with virtually all of the footage of SoulCalibur VI thus far is that the players behind the controls simply weren’t legacy SoulCalibur competitors. Coverage to this point has given us early and important insight into SCVI’s world; now that we have that insight, it’s time to see the game in the hands of players looking to push its gameplay engine!

And that’s where KayaneTV comes in to save the day. She, and members of the French SoulCalibur community, are over at Evo Japan trying out the current build of SCVI. Since Kayane is a SCII Xianghua player of considerable renown, this video contains some of the best gameplay of Namco’s new sword-slinger yet. This is also some of the first footage to properly utilize the new “Soul Charge” mechanic, whose invisible-hitbox activation is functionally similar to another Namco mechanic: Pokkén Tournament‘s Synergy Burst.

Paragon – Epic to Close Paragon on April 26th

Epic has announced that it is closing Paragon on April 26th. This is not a completely unexpected decision, as Epic revealed recently that several of the Paragon development team had moved over to the wildly successful Fortnite. “We didn’t execute well enough to deliver on the promise of Paragon. We have failed you — despite the team’s incredibly hard work — and we’re sorry.” the very frank post reads.
