TVNZ’s Re:Sports interviews Vizard|Reno ahead of Red Bull Kumite NZ 2018

“Even if I don’t win, any chance to go to a tournament and compete against the best New Zealand has to offer is an amazing opportunity.”

Sebastian “Reno” Musumeci is the latest star in “Re:Sports”, a segment of New Zealand’s state-owned TV network “TVNZ”. His lighthearted and optimistic approach belies the skills that, just a month ago, earned him a sponsorship with VizardGG.

This Necalli pro knows his competition — GhostChips and WaZa, previously interviewed on the same show — aren’t going to give up easily, particularly with a trip to Paris on the line. But with a strong character and a strong will, Reno is ready for the Red Bull Kumite NZ 2018 Qualifier on September 22nd, 2018.

Final Showdown explores Teen Gohan’s combo potential, including a TOD using a hitstun glitch, in Dragon Ball FighterZ

Final Showdown is back with another set of Dragon Ball FighterZ combo videos. For this batch, he returns to one of his favorite character to break down: Teen Gohan.

The video below focus on various max damage combos for Teen Gohan. The recent patch has made some of his old loops more lenient, resulting in more practical damage becoming available for the character.

In addition to the mid-screen conversions shown above, he also shows combos Teen Gohan can do with his back to the wall, comparing the damage outputs and positioning of these various options.

Last, but not least, Final Showdown also demonstrates a bug where Teen Gohan gains extra hitstun doing his uppercut out of an autocombo. He uses this in the video below to set up a touch-of-death combo.
