Captain Ginyu and Recoome glitch leads to infinite combos in Dragon Ball FighterZ

Twitter has been buzzing with footage of infinites in Dragon Ball FighterZ, thanks to an apparent glitch affecting the Ginyu Force. Players have found that when playing Captain Ginyu, continuing a combo after Recoome’s Eraser Gun special attack will disrupt the game’s hitstun deterioration mechanic, allowing for a second character to tag in and perform infinite combo loops.

Under normal circumstances the game will reduce the hitstun of each attack during the course of a combo until the victim is able to tech in midair. For some reason Recoome’s beam disrupts the hitstun scaling mechanic, and allows combos to go on indefinitely. Similar glitches have impacted games like Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Persona 4 Arena in the past.

Because Captain Ginyu’s “Together… Ginyu Force” special rotates between members of the Ginyu Force, landing the ideal combo starter to lead into the infinite is certainly no easy task. But while eliminating a character in a single combo is nothing new to Dragon Ball FighterZ, there is usually a higher cost of meter, Sparking, and execution associated with the combo. Earning such a high reward for landing Recoome’s blast was likely not a design choice, and it would be unsurprising to see the effect patched out in the near future.

Guild Wars 2 – Know Your Enemy – Praise Joko, the Greatest Villain in Guild Wars 2

Praise Joko! The Dragons are dead! Well, they might as well be. Guild Wars 2 launched in 2012 with the promise of an epic story, wild adventures, and giant world ending dragons. The six prehistoric dragons have always hung over Tyria. But with the close of the latest Living Worlds episode, I wonder if the dragons are really the biggest threat Tyria has to offer, or if the best villains in Guild Wars 2 are neither gods nor monsters.

Breen: Twitter and Its Potential Dumbing and Numbing Effect on MMA

This week marked 12 years since the founding of Twitter. Undoubtedly, it has changed the discourse and promotion of MMA forever. However, for as many positives that have been gained via social media in that culture shift, if we are not careful, it can amplify the ugliest parts of the sport, writes Jordan Breen.
