Competitors will clash in RED BULL CONQUEST qualifiers at Dallas and Saint Paul this weekend

The CONQUEST continues!

This weekend is another double-header for the RED BULL CONQUEST circuit: this time Dallas, TX and Saint Paul, MN will be the arenas for two more qualifier events. The action starts on Saturday, July 14th. Hopefuls will test their skill in Street Fighter V, Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2, and Tekken 7 to earn qualifying spots for the National Finals in Washington, D.C. in November. From the press release:

Red Bull Conquest continues this weekend with the search for Dallas and Saint Paul’s top fighting game competitors! On Saturday, July 14, the two cities will play host to fighting game enthusiasts as they battle it out to determine each city’s top players in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, TEKKEN 7 and Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2. The winners from each city will earn the title as their region’s best, and will travel to Washington, D.C. this November to compete in the Red Bull Conquest National Finals.

In addition to the rousing competition, both cities will have notable FGC competitors in attendance. Being no stranger to the fighting game scene, it’s no wonder that some of Saint Paul’s finest will be coming out to play. Among them are Street Fighter champ Joe “Mo-Joe” Porter, winner of Chicago’s Frosty Faustings X in Chicago last January, and “Mahreen,” known for her show-stopping cosplay and cutthroat SFV moves. Meanwhile in Dallas, avid Street Fighter athlete and part-time esports commentator Jarret “Magneto1080p” Austin will be in attendance.

Glasses colors for the Persona 4 Arena characters have been spotted in BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle’s color palette files

Could we see this cosmetic item appear in BBTAG in the future?

One of the unique aesthetic aspects of the Persona 4 Arena series — beyond being able to mix and match character and Persona colors — was the ability to purchase pairs of glasses to be worn in battle, (or some other form of face wear, such as goggles, masks or visors, depending on your character). This served as another bit of fan service in the RPG series, as the members of the Investigation Team would use them in Persona 4 to help them clearly see through the thick fog of the Midnight Channel. These would not only be visible on the character sprites during a match, but would also be added to the Awakening portraits of each fighter, as well as their artwork during Instant Kills.

Though this feature is currently absent for the Persona cast in BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, evidence for it appears have been found by data miners, indicating that it was possibly planned at one point — or that it could eventually come to the game as future DLC. Twitter user SeGel2009 even notes that there are glasses colors for the new reference palettes, as well as the trio of DLC colors, for all characters. You can see each character’s full color assortment — with the corresponding glasses for reference — below.

Would you like to see glasses become available for the P4A cast in BBTAG? Sound off in the comments.
