Everyone has a fighting chance
Wanderlei Silva and Quinton Jackson are set to throw down for a fourth time after three vicious and violent encounters. The two rivals squared off on Tuesday at a Bellator press conference in New York and discussed their impending showdown.

As BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle has been in consumer hands for quite a bit now, players are bound to eventually settle on deciding who is stronger and who is weaker in the 2 vs. 2 title. Though a tier list that includes new DLC characters that came out a week ago does seem a little quick, a Japanese player has compiled their opinion on the state of the game using the popular MMCafe Tierchart Maker.
Ho-chan, who sometimes tweets in English, pointed out Kubo’s chart, dubbing him the “best BBTAG player in Japan.” Obviously, tier lists are opinions, from what I’ve been seeing about the game, it seems mostly spot on.
The axes work as following: from bottom to top are weakest to strongest characters, and left are characters that “have weaknesses” while more towards the right are those who “do everything.”

I don’t think anyone disagrees that Yukiko is very weak (sorry, girlfriend.) Chie, Weiss, and Jubei have problems establishing dominance in neutral and can get easily outzoned or pushed back; Platinum lacks a full-screen super. Jin, Orie, Es, and Ruby (who is a little outside the chart, on the right edge) have definitely been dominating the meta. I can’t speak for Hyde, but it sounds like he has all the tools (please feel free to expand on this in the comments).
What are your thoughts on this list? Who would you pose differently? Personally, I’m a bit surprised at the placing of Blake and Carmine. The latter especially has been looking pretty strong.
If you want to play like the best, you have to press every advantage you can. Skills are important but even the best player will find themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard if their gear isn’t up to snuff.

Bellator MMA has announced another tournament, as its welterweight grand prix will kick off on Sept. 29.
PC Gamer is reporting that over a dozen women have accused the founder and editor of The Moogle Post community blog for Final Fantasy XIV of sexual harassment and blackmail. The writer has interviewed nine of the twelve women alleging the abuses by Oldbear, a group that collectively calls itself the Anonymous Janes in order to protect their privacy.
The PlayStation Blog has been updated with the news that Destiny 2 is free to play from Friday, June 29th to Monday, July 2nd. There will be no restrictions on the play with the full experience available to anyone taking part.
As is the case for every fighting game, Street Fighter V has had characters who have been described as “dominant” for each major revision, or “season” in this case. However, these oftentimes come down more to people’s own conjecture than any actual sort of detailed statistical analysis.
Luckily for us, SFV does have a way to track performance at high level play: the results of the Capcom Pro Tour. Our good buddy Bavo Bruylandt — who runs Shoryuken’s stat-keeping site — recently compiled this data to find out the ten most dominant characters for each season of Street Fighter V.

In addition to this, Bavo has also shared screenshots of the data tables he used. This includes breakdowns for mid-season changes, as both Season 2 and Season 3 had significant mid-season balance patches.
Now, as with any list of strong characters based purely on tournament results, this doesn’t really factor the strength of the competitors playing them. Additionally, we’re still only halfway through Season 3. However, this data is still important; when combined with all of those factors, it gives us a more complete picture of how the game is playing out, and where it may be headed.

The last Living World episode was a fantastic diversion from the crushing doom that Kralkatorric presents. While the Crystal Dragon continues to loom ominously on the horizon and the branded still scramble around the outskirts of the known world, Living World has turned our attention on a much more imminent threat. Now, episode 3 of the latest Living World season brings the rise of Palawa Joko and an epic climax.
