Mech Zangief, F.A.N.G, Juri, and Abigail returning to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition’s Extra Battle on February 22nd

You’ve got another opportunity to collect the final pieces to fine-tune your Mechs, starting tomorrow!

Though there was no news about the future of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition disclosed at Evo Japan, we do have some returning Extra Battle Crossover Costumes. As Guts Man Balrog’s challenges roll on, another robotic quartet of Mech Zangief, Mech F.A.N.G, Mech Juri, and Mech Abigail will be returning to Extra Battle for a second run on Friday, February 22nd, when the battles for their first of four total Costume Pieces will resume. As before, challenging each of these mechanical World Warriors will cost you 2,500 Fight Money per individual attempt, meaning you’ll need a minimum of 10,000 Fight Money to claim a single Crossover Costume, and a whopping 40,000 FM for the compete set.

However, if you’ve collected any of the previous pieces on their first pass around, the game will remember the gems that you already have, so you’ll only need to wait for the corresponding week of the pieces that you’re missing to gain the complete attire.Guts Man Balrog’s second piece will also be starting on Friday, and the Extra Battles for both the normal and Arranged version of Guts Man’s Theme from Mega Man are still available as Crossover BGM for another 1,000 FM per attempt.

Will you be looking to complete any of the Mech attires you missed on the first cycle? Let us know in the comments below.

Du “NuckleDu” Dang signs with Echo Fox

Echo Fox is seemingly resuming the hunt for players!

Guile-Champion's-Choice-Costume

After a massive series of departures from Punk, Scar, Theo, Momochi & ChocoBlanka, Justin Wong, Saint & JDCR, their FGC Division Manager Boeken, and even Tokido, Echo Fox has (surprisingly?) signed a new fighting game player as of today, in the form of 2016 Capcom Cup Champion, Du “NuckleDu” Dang. He will be joining SonicFox, Dekillsage, MKLeo, and Mew2King in the organization’s fighting game division, meaning that they once again have a Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition player among their ranks for the 2019 Capcom Pro Tour Season, beginning next month at Final Round 2019.

Echo Fox president Jared Jeffries had the following to say about the newest member of the FOXFAM. “NuckleDu is a young player who has proven himself to be one of the best in the world. His dedication to improvement, his dramatic flair, and his desire to compete at the highest level make him a perfect for Echo Fox.”

The recently signed Du also tweeted that he is, “extremely excited for this year,” and that he’ll be, “going all in!” Du’s recent performances include winning Defend The North and East Coast Throwdown 2018, getting 13th at ELEAGUE, 4th at Tokyo Game Show 2018 and the Red Bull Conquest NA Regional Finals, placing 7th in the NA Regional Finals Open Premiere, and ending the year with a 13th place finish at Capcom Cup 2018 last December. Known utilizing the triple threat of Guile, R. Mika, and Cammy, his roster took some big hits in the Season 4 balance update, so it will be interesting to see if he continues to use that trio of characters, or if he’s got some new fighters under his sleeve for the upcoming Season of competition.

Several characters potentially leaked for Mortal Kombat 11 via Steam Database

We may have an idea of several upcoming Kombatants, thanks to a leak from Steam!

Since The Reveal in January, we’ve seen news for the upcoming Mortal Kombat 11 trickle out bit by bit: Kano was recently announced at an event in Brazil, while Kabal and D’Vorah were properly revealed last week during the first edition of the Kombat Kast and an episode of Inside Xbox. Now, thanks to a list of Trophies from the Steam Database, we may have an idea of several of the upcoming Kombatants set to return to the title, as well as possible clues to the identities of additional new challengers as well.

As rooflemonger notes in his video, there are several Trophies for performing both Fatalities for each specific character. These include already-confirmed fighters like Skarlet, Baraka, D’Vorah. Raiden, Kabal, Kano, Sonya, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero, but also reveals initials for unannounced characters that are potentially returning in the newest title as follows:

  • ERR – Erron Black
  • FRO – Frost
  • JAD – Jade
  • CAS – Cassie Cage
  • KOL – Kotal Kahn
  • JAC – Jacqui Briggs (or Jackson Briggs/Jax?)
  • LIU – Liu Kang
  • KUN – Kung Lao
  • TER – The Terminator? Newcomer?
  • KOT – Possible Newcomer
  • CET – Possible Newcomer

Other Trophies potentially confirm the return of Mercies, a mechanic introduced in Mortal Kombat 3 that allowed a victorious player to revive their fallen foe with a small sliver of life to continue the battle. This was primarily done as a necessary requirement to perform an Animality once the resurrected opponent was defeated a second time, though we have nothing that indicates their specific return. Perhaps this will be used to allow a second chance to finish opponents off with a Brutality? These Trophies also confirm the return of The Krypt, with various goals to complete within it such as running five miles or spearing 100 hanging bodies. There is also one for spilling 100,000 pints of blood, in addition to completing battle tutorials, a set number of Towers, collecting 200 pieces of Gear, and playing ten “A.I. Sets.” Whether this means facing the Computer, or perhaps creating A.I. fighters and sending them out to battle for Gear, à la Injustice 2, is currently unknown.

Perhaps most interesting is that NetherRealm Studio’s Ed Boon reacted to the possible leaks on Twitter, asking Sonya on Sunday what she thought of leaks, with a GIF of her performing her Fatal Blow on Scorpion, as well as announcing that the “latest leak,” is that we won’t be throwing Blanche anymore. The old woman was a popular intractable in the Outworld Marketplace stage in Mortal Kombat XL — whom could be thrown at opponents, and could even perform Stage Brutalities when certain conditions were met — by tweeting out artwork of her in the style of official MK11 character renders.

Back in 2017 we saw an Injustice 2 base roster leak that turned out to be 100% correct, and as rooflemonger points out, the Steam Database tends to be mostly infallible, so this list of characters is looking very likely. We’ve also got another female character reveal on the horizon on this Thursday’s Kombat Kast, so we can see if this leak begins to come together. You can hear rooflemonger’s thoughts on the situation in the video below.

What are your thoughts on this potential roster list? Are you excited for these returns, or were you hoping to see someone else? Tell us what you think in the comments.

Unite to fight with JUMP FORCE’s official launch trailer

The battle for Earth is about to reach maximum intensity!

After eight months of hype following its announcement at E3 last June, it’s nearly time to unite to fight: Bandai Namco Entertainment’s massive 3V3 arena fighter — featuring some of the most legendary characters in Weekly Shonen Jump — is nearly upon us. To further prepare players for Friday’s release (or yesterday’s, if you were granted Early Access via the Ultimate Edition), Bandai Namco has released the game’s official launch trailer.

The video sees the likes of Vegeta, Rukia, Kakashi, Sanji, Asta, Deku, Luffy, Blackbeard, Frieza, Trunks, Boruto, Aizen, Ichigo, Sasuke, Naruto, Piccolo, Ryo Saeba, Kenshiro, Jotaro, DIO, Yusuke, Goku, Gon, Zoro, Pegasus Seiya, Yugi, Kenshin, and Dai unleash their spectacular signature attacks while the villainous Kane and the devious Light Yagami enact their dark plans. JUMP FORCE Director Glover narrates the beginning of the game’s story. You can see the full trailer below.

Last month at the Taipei Games Show, a Story trailer was also released, giving us further insight into Kane, Galena, and Light Yagami’s plans — which you can also check out below.

JUMP FORCE will be officially released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam on Thursday, February 14th in Japan, and worldwide this Friday, February 15th. Early access for players who purchased the Ultimate Edition began on February 12th.

Hajime “Tokido” Taniguchi has departed Echo Fox

The Murderface is now a free agent!

sfv_akuma_ready_crop

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.

Which team would you like to see Tokido get picked up by? Share your thoughts in the comments.

rooflemonger warns players of game-breaking glitches with Videl and Jiren in Dragon Ball FighterZ

Looks like it’s already time for another patch!

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.
