Hayate shares new SoulCalibur VI gameplay featuring Raphael, Cervantes

French YouTuber and SoulCalibur pro Hayate EIN is back to demo the new options of the returning characters Raphael and Cervantes. As with his other videos, these are the earliest insights we have to the TGS-only build characters, so let’s jump in and take a look at their new abilities!

Raphael has (as far as we can be aware of right now) one of the game’s only cancelable Reversal Edges, and it seems uniquely powerful. His cancel isn’t just a slow return to neutral like Taki’s — he goes straight into his “Preparation Parry” auto-GI stance, able to attack relatively quickly. Fitting for a fencer!

Aesthetically, Cervantes looks fantastic. Several of his advancing attacks now have a visual that show that he’s propelling himself by the musket in his gun. Gameplay wise, there’s some interesting new tools: 1AB has a crazy new followup that may combo on counter-hit and definitely goes into one of the coolest new attack throw animations in the game.

Tekken 7 Season 2 roundup: Eddy late FC 3+4 links, Master Raven wall bounces, and more!

Will the well of tech from Tekken 7 Season 2 ever dry up? Probably not, with over 1,600 changes made this season. You know the drill by now — the community is working hard to break down Season 2, and we’re here to collect their discoveries. Let’s jump in!

Let’s open first with something that isn’t technically new to Season 2 (or even to Tekken, period!) but is likely not well known: a spacing-based link for Eddy!

Asuka was buffed hard in Season 2, so if you want to make the switch over to the most popular Kazama in ranked, these combos are a good place to start.

Master Raven is blessed with a wall bounce not buried underneath a string, and she’s capable of some absurd damage from it to boot. (And check out the 75% F+4 rage combo at the end.)

Amir Ab97 has an excellent multi-character combo video for us, with particular focus on Nina, Anna, and Lei.

Last for today, Napo 2D GR will put the fear of Heihachi in you.

Thanks to everyone that submitted content to us! If you have some Tekken 7 tech you’d like to share with the world, reach out to us through our tipline.

Capcom launching new weekly Street Fighter stream from ESA Oakland: Capcom Connect

A new show launches tomorrow to keep you in the Street Fighter loop.

Capcom has announced that a new stream show will launch tomorrow, September 25 — and continue weekly, on Tuesday nights — dubbed Capcom Connect, and it aims to provide a recap of new Street Fighter happenings alongside new content. The show will stream from Esports Arena Oakland, premiering tomorrow night at 8:00 PM PT on the Capcom Fighters Twitch channel.

The stream will feature event and news recaps, Street Fighter V matches with guest players (and potentially with unusual rules), and art and cosplay from Street Fighter fans. You can also win content codes by viewing. From Andy Wong’s Capcom-Unity announcement:

You will have the chance to win various codes for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition just by watching and interacting with our social channels. In the afternoon before each show, we’ll tweet out a specific hashtag on the Street Fighter or Capcom Fighters Twitter account. All you need to do is use that hashtag in a tweet of your own before the drawing begins at around 8:15 PM PT. During the show, we’ll randomly choose winners and announce them on-stream. After the show, expect a Direct Message from the Street Fighter or Capcom Fighters accounts with your code. The codes are currently only for North America.

If you’re an artist or cosplayer, tweet @StreetFighter with pictures of your creation and we just might feature it on the stream with all credit going towards you!

Read more details on the upcoming show at Capcom-Unity.

The fan-favorite Android gets his own character slot very soon.

Not content to be a mere assist on a number of Android 18’s moves, Android 17 is coming to Dragon Ball FighterZ as a selectable fighter all his own. In the official reveal trailer below, Bandai Namco gives us a quick look at what the “MVP” of the Tournament of Power is bringing into the battle.

Android 17 and Cooler will be joining the roster in the DLC 4 pack in the near future. Dragon Ball FighterZ also arrives on the Nintendo Switch later this week, on September 28. Halloween-themed content (including stamps, alternate colors, and exclusive versions of lobby avatars) will also be appearing in Z-Capsules this week, starting September 26.

Final Fantasy XIV: Talking to Bethan Walker, the Voice Behind Alisaie

Few among Final Fantasy XIV’s cast are as beloved as Alisaie Leveilleur. Since her return to the Scions at the end of Heavensward, she’s won over the playerbase with her sharp wit and sharper tongue. With last week’s release of Patch 4.4, Prelude in Violet, Alisaie is facing one of her most difficult trials yet, as she searches for the truth behind her brother’s disappearance. We got the chance to speak to Bethan Walker, the voice behind the character, about how she brings life to the role.
