Over the course of the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Tour, we have seen people wield a plethora of controllers to compete, with many players using using Hit Box-type controllers for the game, too. However, one event has decided that Hit Boxes, among other controllers, are not going to be allowed.
The 6th saga event for the tour — to be held on the 24th and 25th of November in Shinjuku, Japan — has banned all peripherals that aren’t officially licensed by Sony from their event, stating that it is an addendum to the official tour rule set. While this hits Hit Box users hard, this also affects anyone who uses a custom arcade stick that contains a Brook PCB, or anyone using legacy arcade sticks with a Brook converter. It’s also possible that anyone who even uses an officially licensed pad as a padhack for their custom joysticks may get snubbed, as organizers may be unable to discern that the circuit board itself is licensed.
The event states that they will have a limited number of HORI peripherals available for loan to players who arrive to find their controller of choice banned from the event.
Just a warning if you are going to the 6th Saga event in Japan for DBFZ you HAVE to play on a PlayStation license controller or arcade stick. Anyone who comes with a incorrect controller will be asked to rent a Hori controller, but there will be limited quantities available. pic.twitter.com/EuxYNM9mRi

We are disappointed to hear of this event-specific ruleset. We have world class DBFZ players who have already booked their tickets, competing in other events that did allow for all controllers, only to find that they're effectively disqualified from this part of the circuit. https://t.co/cCZzLiLDJk

As an invitational for many of the absolute best Street Fighter V players in the game today, Red Bull Kumite 2018 was a near-constant highlight reel of impressive plays and clutch moments. One that stood out exceptionally was Daigo Umehara’s impressive comeback against Problem X in Losers Finals — it needs to be seen to be believed:

The mental fortitude of both players in incredible in this round, and the fact that Umehara’s comeback is not won with a built-in mechanic such as V-Trigger activation (or even a Critical Art), but is instead hard-fought inch by inch, is what makes it so noteworthy in this game of “robbery” comebacks. FGC clipper extraordinaire HiFight has shared a version that highlights some of the frame states and decision-making at work in this epic round:

Even though Umehara lost the set (Problem X went on to face Fujimura in Grand Finals) this round will be remembered. If you missed Red Bull Kumite live, you’ll want to go check out the archive on Twitch for literally hours of the highest-caliber SFV play out there.
