FightingTuesday brings Japan’s top-notch Dragon Ball FighterZ play to the Red Bull Gaming Sphere

If you’ve got a blank space on your calendar at 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM JST on Tuesdays (that’s 2:00 AM – 8:00 AM CT here in the States), then you can catch some of Japan’s best players charging their ki over at the animeilluminati Twitch channel for their weekly event, FightingTuesday.

This is an officially-sponsored Bandai Namco series that brings in anywhere from 50-60 players alone for Dragon Ball FighterZ (for example). As it is a Bandai Namco event, you can also see some great Tekken 7 action on the channel.

If 2:00 AM is a bit early for you, no sweat: you can catch archives on both their Twitch and YouTube channels. Our very own Jazz, a.k.a. MajinObama, is part of the FightingTuesday staff, and occasionally appears on commentary!

Persona Entertainment reveals the power behind Bandeiras’s Brazilian Ninjitsu in The King of Fighters XIV

Few characters have changed so completely from their original release as Bandeiras has in The King of Fighters XIV. Since the very first version of the game, he’s received new OTG states, combo filler, better frame data… the list of changes is long and almost all of it has been beneficial for the charge-grappler.

Persona Entertainment has worked thier way through the cast of KOFXIV to show off flashy high damage for the whole cast. Today’s stop with the founder of  “Brazilian Ninja Arts” might just be the most exciting of all, as Bandeiras is woefully underused despite his damage and mixup potential.
