Pokkén Tournament DX will receive a balance patch, version 1.3.3, on September 26th

After another successful year at the Pokémon World Championships, Namco and the Pokémon Company are continuing their partnership with a new balance patch — and it’s dropping next week!

The majority of the currently-translated changes are bug fixes: for example, more than a few of the proposed changes involve fixing issues where Croagunk and Blastoise would get up earlier from various opponents’ grabs. The notes are currently being translated from the Japanese site by the good folks at Pokkén Arena, and you can read them here. (Or check out the Japanese site yourself here.)

As it stands right now, it’s looking like the patch is more for refinement than anything else. Considering the wild diversity of the current season of Pokkén (grand finals at Worlds featured Empoleon and Gengar, for god’s sake!), perhaps this is a good thing.

Capcom Fighters’ Street Fighter V highlights from SoCal Regionals 2018 show off Bonchan’s Sagat, SonicPunk, and more!

There’s always a tendency to fear for the tournament viability of new characters. If SCR 2018 taught us anything this past weekend, though, it’s that there’s plenty of firepower in the two most recent newcomers to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition — Sagat and G.

New characters tearing up tournament vets only make up a few entries in Capcom Fighters‘s highlights real for SCR 2018, though. Check out the video above to see champions fall, SonicFox make an assist in a 1-on-1 game, and the slyest use of Menat’s V-Trigger I yet.

World of Warcraft’s PTR has been updated to bring the v8.1 patch to players looking to help test (or just to see what’s new) the patch that was discussed earlier this week by Blizzard’s Ion Hazzikostas. Dataminters are already hard at work and have ferreted out the Kultiran Human Balance Druid form. In other races, Balance Druids are formed like a Moonkin. Kultiran Humans…aren’t as can be seen in the hero image.

Nonon Jakuzure and Houka Inumuta are coming to Kill la Kill the Game: IF

Nani sore?

Arc System Works brought their upcoming arena fighter Kill la Kill the Game: IF to the 2018 Tokyo Game Show; as part of this, a couple of characters were announced for the game.

Joining the cast of Kill la Kill the Game: IF are Nonon Jakuzure and Houka Inumuta. Fans of the show should recognize them as the remaining two member of the Elite Four, the other two having been previously revealed in a recent issue of Famitsu.

No other details of these two as of yet, though we can safely assume that they’ll come with their debut Ultima Uniforms from the show.
