Rizin Fighting Federation is adding to its already significant April 21 card three more tantalizing matchups featuring staples and intriguing prospects.
Over the past few months, the once-mighty fighting game division of Echo Fox — an esports team run by retired NBA star Rick Fox, which swiftly acquired a collection of some of the best fighting game players in the world across multiple titles — has seen a massive amount of downsizing. The team saw the departures of Punk, Scar, Theo, Momochi & ChocoBlanka, Saint & JDCR, and later Justin Wong. The company even released their FGC Division Manager Boeken. Legendary Street Fighter competitor and Evo 2017 Street Fighter V Champion Tokido is now also no longer with the organization, as his contract expired last week and was not renewed.
Thankfully, the parting seems like an amicable one, as the “Murderface” thanked the organization for everything they did for him, noting that it was, “a great experience for me.” This now leaves the team’s remaining fighting game roster consisting only of SonicFox, Dekillsage, MKLeo, and Mew2King. These cuts have not even been limited to just fighting games, as Echo Fox also released their entire Gears of War team and their League of Legends head coach back in October.
This now presents an interesting opportunity for a variety of esprorts organizations, as one of the the best players to ever pick up an arcade stick has now become a free agent, and he would certainly be a massive boon to any organization he chooses to sign with. Regardless of what his future holds, all of us here at Shoryuken wish Hajime “Tokido” Taniguchi all the best as he enters the next chapter of his fighting game career. You can see his tweet confirming his departure below.
I announce my contract with Echo Fox has expired. It was great experience for me. Thank you for everything!! エコーフォックスとの契約が満了したことをお知らせいたします。 とても素晴らしい経験をさせていただきました。面倒を見てくれたチームの皆さんありがとうございました！！

As gamers, we require a lot from our WiFi routers. We need good speeds that take advantage of our internet. We need low latency even when sharing bandwidth. We need more control to forward ports and optimize connections. Today, we’re looking at the NETGEAR Nighthawk XR700, a premium WiFi router custom-made for gamers. It’s packed with features intended to take your gaming to the next level but do they? Find out in our official review.
Here it is: Friday. Not only is it the herald of the weekend, but it’s also Star Citizen: Around the Verse to close our your gaming week. This time LA Studio Director Eric Kieron Davis and Technical Director of Content Sean Tracy host The Sound and the Fury. The pair “check in with character animation and continue [the] exploration of the new flight model with look at ship AI and audio”. Check it out!
Last week, Dragon Ball FighterZ Season 2 kicked off with a bang, as a new balance patch was released that heavily tweaked the game’s system mechanics — and the first pair of FighterZ Pass 2 characters, Jiren and Videl, were released to much fanfare.
Unfortunately — as can be the case with new DLC characters being added to a game — it seems the new pair are already packing some nasty, literally game-breaking glitches. As rooflemonger demonstrates, it is possible for the duo of Videl and Goku to easily cause the entire game to glitch out and freeze, effectively ending the current match on the spot. To achieve this, a player must cancel Videl’s Rainbow Storm into her medium Frankensteiner special, then immediately Ultimate Z-Change to Goku’s Kaioken, performing a 2M into the Kaioken Finisher, which will be hit by Videl as she’s exiting the screen — causing the screen to glitch out, rendering the opponent completely immobile while the initiator can still move around but can’t directly interact with their foe. This definitely needs to addressed with the quickness.
Additionally, the mighty Pride Trooper from Universe 11, Jiren, also possesses a glitch that will allow him to freeze Cell (and possibly other characters) in place, allowing him to both move about freely while his foe can only wait to be hit so they can return to a normal position… but Jiren can even walk out of the screen, traveling a good distance into the darkness of the Null Realm. This phenomenon is caused by Jiren’s air 2H, which can Clash with other aerial normals, such as Cell’s j.2H. However, if you can hit it low enough to cause a trade with your foe, then you will cause them to freeze mid-air in an outstretched T pose, that can only be escaped from by the Jiren player making contact with the opponent. Thankfully, unlike the glitch with Videl and Goku, this one is much more difficult to replicate in the middle of an actual match — though it’s obviously just as unintentional — and will hopefully be addressed as well in an upcoming update. (And maybe they can give Golden Frieza his post-transformation meter gain back while they’re at it!)
You can see both videos demonstrating the glitches below.
