VesperArcade speculates about a new character hidden in F.A.N.G’s backstory in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

While we already know the roster coming to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition during Season 3, it is never too early to speculate on who may make the cut in Season 4. As such, VesperArcade — after reading the back story on the CFN portal — has his own ideas on who might show up.

Recapping the backstory posted about F.A.N.G, he speculates that hidden in his storyline is a potential new character named Phantom, whom F.A.N.G finds and trains at the end of the story. While it may come to be nothing, the speculation behind it is intriguing enough to pay attention.

Take a look back at the path of BCF’s Street Fighter V championship belt

Body Count Fighting’s 5th entry into SoCal’s title-defense series, BCF, will be airing live next weekend at 5:00 p.m. PT on April 7, 2018. And while each competitor that steps into BCF’s ring wants to walk away with the championship belt, there’s a little more on the line this time then just a title.

This time, there’s history.

At the conclusion of BCF4, Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition pro Chris Tatarian defeated Pnoy to retain his SFV title, making him the first SFV player to successful defend the belt. At BCF 5, his next opponent is the wildly talented RISE|SmugDaBeast. Will Chris be able to maintain the first winning streak of the SFV belt, or will Smug be the first person to end a SFV winning streak at BCF?

BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle overview video shows off Story and Online Lobby modes

The time to intersect is nigh!

We’re getting closer and closer to the release of BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle. The Japanese side of Arc System Works released a product overview video that showcases the nameplate modes, as well as a refresher on the base cast that comes included with the game.

The video below features every non-DLC character getting their moment in the spotlight and showcasing their abilities. After that,we get a peak at its Episode Mode, which looks to divide the story by each franchise before thier inevitable collision. We also get a quick look at the Tutorial and Challenge Modes to get a better grasp on the fighting mechanics. Finally, the video showcases the online lobbies, which look like the usual Arc System Works fare: customizable chibi avatars running around a lobby, interacting with emotes, and joining matches.

At the end, there’s information about the various purchasing options, but we have no details yet about the US or EU side of things.

Arc System Works will reveal the next Character Pack on April 19th.
