NIS America talks SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy with Alex Valle at Wednesday Night Fights

At last week’s Wednesday Night Fights, NIS America brought along a pre-release build of SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy. Aside from giving players a chance to try the game out, it also gave Level|Up Series’ Alex Valle a chance to talk to them about the upcoming title.

Alex Valle got a chance to talk with NIS America’s Senior Product Marketing Manager Travis Shrodes on a number of things about SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy; the result is a pretty extensive 50-plus minute interview — that you can watch below!

For those who may not have time to watch the whole thing, here are some notes from the interview:

  • SNK wants to make a more approachable The King of Fighters, hence the simplified control scheme and auto-combos. However, auto-combos are not the most optimal way to play.
  • The game has 1-button supers. They were mapped to R1 in the build shown (PlayStation 4 version).
  • You can tag mid-combo by pressing R2.
  • Items (which are mapped to the right analog stick) can be turned off.
  • There are 20 items in the game.
  • Fights are 1 round only.
  • The game supports 4-player local play on the same console.
  • There are no sweeps. Hard knockdowns can only come from throws.
  • Guard breaks are in the game.
  • Players can get stunned if they’re hit while their health bar is flashing at 10% life.
  • The game will have a story mode.
  • The game could possibly have a guest character from another fighting game franchise.
  • SNK is aware that fans want Miss X (the cross-dressing Iori from SNK Gals’ Fighters)

In addition to these, they also announced that the game will be at PAX East on April 6, and that they will reveal a character there.

Secret World Legends – Dawn of the Morninglight Seems Worth the Wait

On April 4th, Funcom will release the first new story content update for Secret World Legends: Dawn of the Morninglight. The DLC continues the story after the end of Tokyo’s main narrative, with the player being blamed for the events of that story, being tracked by bounty hunters, and generally trying to clear their name. We toured the new issue with Romain Amiel and Andy Benditt, and are now counting down the days to its launch.

Relive Book pulling off the biggest victory in his life in Tekken 7 at Thaiger Uppercut 2018

Knee has rapidly become the player to beat in Tekken 7. After the duo of JDCR and Saint dominated most of 2017, Knee came on strong in 2018, winning both Evo Japan and Final Round 2018 most recently. Many, including JDCR and Saint, have struggled to topple him.

That changed at Thaiger Uppercut 2018, as hometown hero Book found himself facing off against Knee — and his arsenal of characters — in Grand Finals. With Knee putting the Thai Jin main into Losers Bracket during Winners Finals, Book had a hard road to walk in order to claim the championship. But, as you can witness through the footage below, Book stayed true to his name and got a read on Knee that propelled him through this amazing set.
