Bleach protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki flash steps into Jump Force

The “Big Three” are together once again!

Substitute Soul Reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki, was announced for the upcoming tag-team brawler, Jump Force in the most recent issue of Shonen Jump.

Twitter user, Yonkou Productions, shared the Shonen Jump scan along with translated details. Ichigo’s longtime companion, Rukia Kuchiki, and bitter foe, Sosuke Aizen, will be featured in the game at some capacity. All Bleach characters will be in their “Thousand Year Blood War” appearances as well. A new stage modeled after Hong Kong is also set to be playable.

Take a look at the Bleach icons in Jump Force‘s unique art style below.

While it should be no surprise that Ichigo joined the roster, Bleach was one of the most successful manga franchises along with One Piece and Naruto, it is still great to see the character playable in Jump Force.

Although the two previously mentioned franchises have continued in one way or another, Bleach creator, Tite Kubo is looking at creating new adventures with his upcoming one-shot, Burn the Witch. The romantic comedy one-shot will be featured in Shonen Jump‘s 33rd issue on July 14th. Burn the Witch‘s story is still a surprise, but it will revolve around witches, dragons, and a “Reverse London”.

Hopefully, we get to see Ichigo and the others in action soon, stay tuned to Shoryuken for more updates. Jump Force is scheduled for release sometime in 2019 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

Wii Fit Trainer’s “Sashimi Wiggle” lets her pull off epic dashes in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

In their latest tutorial video, the Beefy Smash Doods discuss what is perhaps the most interesting tech found in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: an ability possessed solely by Wii Fit Trainer that has been named Sashimi Wiggling. This technique exploits Wii Fit Trainer’s unique crawl mechanic by combining it with the momentum gained during a turnaround following a run. By going into a crawl immediately after a turnaround, Trainer is able to execute dashes of great proportions and great speeds that are impossible to achieve by any other means.

Using the Sashimi Wiggle, these dashes can also be canceled at certain lengths and attacks can even be executed mid-dash, but as C5 of Beefy Smash Doods explains, this technique requires very meticulous timing and can only be executed consistently when dashing right and turning left.

If this explanation just makes the Sashimi Wiggle seem more confusing, check out the Beefy Smash Doods’ video on it below. Whether you are able to comprehend how it’s done or not, to see a character do such an incredible dash in an Super Smash Bros. game is quite baffling. Who knows if this tech will carry over into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but if it does, Wii Fit Trainer players can use this tutorial to slide right by the competition.
