Rayman is coming to Brawlhalla as a guest character

Guest characters seem to be all the rage these days, with almost every game adding them to their rosters. The latest game to do so is Blue Mammoth Games’ platform fighter Brawhalla, who will be adding Ubisoft’s Rayman.

Considering that Ubisoft is the publisher for Brawlhalla, it shouldn’t really be a surprise that this character is being added into the game. He will arrive on November 6 — the same date that the game itself arrives on Xbox One, and Switch.

Brawlhalla is currently available for PlayStation 4 and PC.

desk breaks down an “unstun” glitch that Ed can cause in Street Fighter V

With all the myriad of systems that running in a fighting game, it’s no surprise that many can lead to some unintended interactions or glitches. desk, everybody’s favorite combo genius, has put together a new video dedicated to one such glitch in Street Fighter V.

The glitch in question is a result of how hard knockdowns and Ed’s V-Skill work. The upward version of the latter will put opponents into a hard knockdown state. However, if the opponent gets hit before they hit the ground (something Ed can set up by using his V-Trigger I), they lose the hard knockdown state and can now quick rise.

This in itself isn’t the actual “unstun” glitch. The glitch comes from how the removal of the hard knockdown occurs. With the hard knockdown removed, this allows the opponent to quick rise, even if they’ve have been knocked out, or stunned. In the latter case, the opponent can now input any number of attacks after the quick rise, as long as they don’t return to neutral, where in their character will go into the dizzy animation.

desk calls this state after the dizzy state is applied — but before the dizzy animation — the “unstunned” state (hence the name of the glitch). During this state, the opponent cannot be hit until they enter the dizzy animation. As such, using the “unstun” glitch, they can perform any number of attacks, as long as they don’t go into a neutral state.

Of course, actually causing the glitch isn’t easy. Aside from coming from a very specific set up (hitting Ed’s V-Skill while the projectile from his V-Trigger one is active), it also requires that the opponent get dizzied by the V-Trigger, and not the V-Skill itself.

The SNK website is counting down to a new game announcement for Sept. 10

With SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy hitting stores in just a few days, some folks may be wondering about what’s next for SNK. Well, it seems that they will be revealing their future plans soon enough!

SNK has just put up a new page on their website with the title “New SNK Game Announcement”. The page lists a countdown to the date September 10, 2018 with the words “A new dawn rises…”

While SNK is known primarily for their fighting game franchises, this doesn’t automatically mean that we’re getting a new Neo Geo Battle Coliseum. Aside from their mobile game efforts, the company also has dabbled in several other genres. For all we know, this “new dawn” could herald them moving back to shmups, platforms, or golf games.

NIS America teasing second guest character for SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy

It seems that Thief Arthur isn’t the only guest character coming to SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy. The game’s US distributor, NIS America, is teasing that a second guest is coming to SNK’s all girl tag-team fighter.

The hint was made at PAX West 2018 during NIS’s panel. They showed a silhouette with the words “who’s that heroine?”, while the official press release confirmed that the character was a “new guest”.

As can be seen from the silhouette above, the new guest character seems to either have no hair, or is more likely wearing a mask of sorts. Additionally, she might also have a scarf around her neck. Now considering that SNK has lent out Terry Bogard as a guest in Arika’s Fighting EX Layer, some have speculated that this may be a female Skullomania (in the same way we got a female Terry), based on the aforementioned details.

Other details announced during the panel include a day 1 patch for the game which will add Thief Arthur and arcade stick support.

SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is coming to PlayStation 4, and Switch on September 6 in Japan, and September 7 in North America and Europe.

GUTS, the “ultra-violent” fighting game, is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

For any fighting game fans who think that Mortal Kombat is a bit too tame, here some interesting news for you. GUTS, the self proclaimed, “ultra-violent Tarantino-styled fighting game”, is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Released on PC via Steam back in November of 2017, GUTS lives up to its billing with generous amounts of blood and dismemberment shown on screen. Yes, dismemberment — one of the unique twists of the game is that characters can lose their limbs mid-combat and still continue to fight, even if all some of their limbs have been turned into bloody stumps. This dismemberment mechanic ties into how matches are actually won in GUTS. There’s no traditional health bar, and no timer. Instead, players need to cut off all four limbs off their opponents.

GUTS is set to arrive on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One sometime this Fall.

Here’s a peek at the special Akuma color that Tokido won for Street Fighter V at RAGE’s Byakko Cup

One of the most special tournaments for Street Fighter V is the annual tournament hosted by RAGE in the theme of the four heavenly beasts of Eastern mythology. Unlike every other tournament, these give the winner access to a special themed color for their character — that only they will ever get to use.

This year’s tournament was the Byakko Cup, and its winner was none other than Echo Fox’s Tokido. By winning the tournament, Tokido earned a unique Akuma costume all to himself; the costume features a white-haired Akuma with a dark grey gi bearing the logo of the Byakko Cup on its back.

For those curious about what this costume looks like, HiFight shared an image of it on their twitter account.

With this, Tokido joins Mizuha and Fujimura as one of the owners of one of these unique costumes. You can check out Mizuha’s Chun-Li from the Suzaku Cup, and Fujimura’s Nash from the Genbu Cup below:

Additionally, this means that there may be only one more costume left to win, for what should next be the Seiryu Cup.

Final Showdown demonstrates more of what Piccolo and Frieza can do in Dragon Ball FighterZ, post patch

Thanks to its patch earlier this month, players are now trying out a lot of new things in Dragon Ball FighterZ. One such player is veteran combo video maker Clayton “Final Showdown” Chapman, who’s already put out a large number of videos exploring the game.

One of the characters that Final Showdown has done a lot of research on in Dragon Ball FighterZ‘s latest patch is Piccolo. The changes made to the Namek have allowed him to do a lot with his orbs. The videos below from Final Showdown show more of he can do with the orbs, as well as explore Piccolo’s maximum damage potential of a bread-and-butter combo.

Now, one of the characters who’s received a lot of attention post patch is Frieza. The character got a number of changes, including — but not limited to — a buffed Golden Frieza mode, that has opened new doors to damage for the character.
