Heading into Red Bull Kumite NZ 2018 Qualifier, Ghostchips talks about his tournament nerves, accomplishments in the scene,and what he hopes to achieve at the Kumite. With six major wins under his belt for Street Fighter V alone, Ghostchips is the local hero to watch.

The Red Bull Kumite NZ 2018 Qualifier will be held September 22nd, 2018.

Eliza has a new glitch in Tekken 7’s latest patch that makes her super unblockable

Uh oh. It’s starting to look like Season 2 Eliza unlocked an ancient, forbidden evil — breaking the way her super works in-game!

In Season 1, Eliza’s “Bloody Horn” super had a glitch where it could be used without having the meter for it, allowing her to have what was essentially infinite super meter. This was banned at Evo 2017 and patched out relatively quickly afterwards. Unfortunately, with Season 2 out, the seal on Eliza’s power apparently broke — as did her super, which now becomes unblockable when done after a blocked ff+4,2.

It’s unclear why this keeps happening to Eliza’s super. Just like before, we expect a swift patch will be issued by Namco in response sometime in the future.
