After a fantastic FT10 set against Tanukana at Daigo Umehara’s Kemonomichi 2 event, Yuyu — a longtime Tekken player that was not yet well-known outside of Japan — was picked up by team UYU and has stepped out to take on the world in Tekken 7. Combo Breaker 2018 was her first overseas event with UYU, and BornFree took some time there to find out more about this new international competitor.

In the interview, they talk about her desire to inspire other female players, how she learned to play (starting with Tekken 5), her strong love of bananas, and much more!

BornFree has a ton of great interviews over on his YouTube channel.

Naruto vs. Frieza! Jump Force E3 gameplay footage from IGN

Saving the Earth from destruction? It’s just his ninja way, you know?

IGN has been busy with all the new stuff coming out of E3 2018 — one of the most prominent items for fighting fans is a new arena fighter coming from Bandai Namco: Jump Force.

Planned to drop sometime in 2019, the game is a one-on-one arena fighter, with each player bringing a tag team of their three favorite Jump characters into the battle. The trailer certainly grabs attention, but didn’t show much about how the game actually plays… luckily, IGN has some more footage of the game in action (at least, at this stage in development) from E3. You can see the scope of the huge arenas, some examples of how tagging and assists appear to work at this point, as well as Naruto powering-up — with the help of Kurama!

New SoulCalibur VI Yoshimitsu gameplay footage — and the game’s release date may be announced at E3

Motohiro Okubo is a busy man. In his third interview at E3, this time with YouTube’s Geoff Keighley, Okubo revealed additional details about the game, and showed off exclusive footage of SoulCalibur VI.

One interesting tidbit that Okubo dropped is regarding guest characters. He revealed that Geralt is indeed intergrated into the game’s story, and he’s a character that is on the disc of the game (or rather, included digitally). Okubo does not rule out the possibility that more guest characters can come as downloadable content. The latter part of the conversation turned to SoulCalibur VI‘s development progress. Okubo said that the release date “may” be revealed during E3 — again, he didn’t say this with absolute certainty.

For what it’s worth though, this was also our first look at another returning fighter, Yoshimitsu, prominently featured in gameplay clips against Geralt and others.

In another interview, Okubo confirmed that Character Creation Mode will return to the series. Stay tuned to Shoryuken as more details emerge around SoulCalibur VI and other games.
