The Rage Esports Street Fighter V All-Star League is officially underway, featuring 24 of Japan’s best players in 3v3 team matches. Six team captains were chosen based from the highest-ranking Japanese players on the 2017 Capcom Pro Tour, including Hx.Twitch.CYG BST|Daigo, Echo Fox|Tokido, Fujimura, AW|Nemo, Moke, and Itazan. Captains drafted their teams for the league last week; match play began June 5 and will run until July 28, the weekend before Evo 2018.
The league follows a double round-robin format; each team will play the others twice in a first-to-three set match. During each set the teams select their order and play three matches. The team with two victories will win the set, but each win and loss also counts towards the team’s total round robin score. The three teams with the best records at the end of the both round robins will play each other in the finals on July 28.
The event streams live at 6:00 AM ET/3:00 AM PT/7:00 PM JST at OpenREC.tv. Be sure to check below for the match schedule, and keep up with us for results as the league continues through June and July. You can also check out the official website for the event from Japan-based Rage Esports for more information.
| Team (Captain) | Record | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Gold (Daigo) | 4-1 | +8 |
| Sunrise (Moke) | 3-2 | +7 |
| Emerald (Fujimura) | 3-2 | -1 |
| Ocean (Itazan) | 2-3 | +1 |
| Aurora (Nemo) | 2-3 | -3 |

When Georges St. Pierre was in his heyday, maintaining a high level of intensity during training sessions sometimes required some creativity.
Enthusiasts of the Kill la Kill anime, there’s a treat for you tonight. The official Arc System Works Twitter account is sharing the itinerary of their weekly ArcLive stream. Unexpectedly, it looks like we’re going to get a look at the recently-announced Kill la Kill game. After that slightly anti-climactic countdown, it’s not certain what the preview will amount to, yet.
Maybe it’s not too much to hope for a gameplay teaser? We don’t know a lot about the game yet, but we do know that it’s not a traditional fighting game — it’s more of an action title. ASW is publishing the title, while A+ Games is developing, but hopefully that still means there will be a lot of that special ASW touch in the anime adaptation. It will be 1-2 players.
Commentator Samifish will co-host the show, showing off some of the new BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle DLC characters as well. Watch it tonight at 5:00 PM PT on Twitch.
Tonight, join @Samifish11 as he helps host the newest episode of #ArcLive! Delve into the latest #BBTAG fighters and learn more about a certain new game…
It all starts at 5pm PST at https://t.co/AFaPlaDZTZ pic.twitter.com/tBgDvxK4tX

Though we’ve already seen datamined Lobby Avatars, announcer calls and even some brief footage, we now have even more evidence pointing towards the identities of the remaining nine currently-unannounced DLC characters for BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle.
Content creators Rachel’s Husband and Bonus-Kun have released English audio for upcoming fighters Nine The Phantom, Mai Natsume, and Izayoi from BlazBlue, Persona 4 Arena’s Labrys and Akihiko, and Under Night In-Birth’s Merkava and Yuzuriha Sougetsu.
In the clips, we can hear that Amanda Celine Miller, Stephanie Sheh, Cindy Robinson, Julie Ann Taylor, and Liam O’Brien will be reprising their roles as Nine, Mai, Labrys, Izayoi, and Akihiko respectively.
Merkava seems to be voiced in English by Benjamin Diskin — the voice of Eddie Brock/Venom in The Spectacular Spider-Man, Sai and Arashi Fuma in Naruto, Joseph Joestar in the Battle Tendency arc of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Ash Roller in Accel World, Knuckle Bine in the 2011 Hunter x Hunter, Numbahs One and Two in Codename: Kids Next Door, among countless other roles.
Yuzu’s English voice sounds like Erica Lindbeck, perhaps best known as Futaba Sakura in Persona 5, Celica in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Jericho in The Seven Deadly Sins, Sayaka Igarashi in Kakegurui, Pakunoda in the 2011 Hunter x Hunter, Azee Gurumin in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, and Hijiri Yashima in the upcoming FLCL: Alternative.
Until direct confirmation, the suspected voice actors are merely speculation, and will be updated with the accurate actor credit when they are announced. You can hear all available voice clips below.
According to the Nintendo eShop, the next set of characters contained in Cross Character Pack 4 is possibly releasing the day after Evo, so we could be seeing the next trio who Can’t Escape from Crossing Fate revealed at the event.
In the meantime, you can check out the new trailer for Cross Character Packs 2 & 3 as well as Yang Xiao Long, who are all now available to download.
