ITS Lil’ Majin shares cross-up setups for Tekken 7’s King

Cross-ups are not the most common thing you see in Tekken 7. They often require fairly elaborate and specific setups, and outside of the wall there’s just too many get-up possibilities for it to be considered a likelihood that you’d even land the cross-up. Not without player-specific insight, anyways.

Now take most of what I just said and throw it out the window. America’s King, Lil_Majin, is here with a great arsenal of tricky cross-up body splashes and dropkicks. These setups come from a wide variety of throws and juggle-enders, both mid field and at the wall. You’ll want to think twice about quick standing versus a King that knows these — but considering King’s arsenal of ground-hitting moves and ground throws, that might be just want he wants, too.

Check out Noel, Chie, Waldstein, and RWBY’s Weiss Schnee gameplay in these BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle overview clips

As time goes on, Arc System Works is pumping out its characters for BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle at a steady pace, more or less hitting on all the franchise fronts that the game combines. Rather than a new reveal, we’re catching up on a gameplay overview of some past entrants: Noel Vermillion, Chie Satonaka, Waldstein, and Weiss Schnee.

The clip, put together by Jourdal, starts with BlazBlue‘s melee dual-gun wielder Noel, who shows some shorter and longer combos with an assist. A lot of her Drive moves are retained as EX moves that cost one bar to use. Next up is Persona‘s Chie, whose damage can get very explosive with the right hits. Under Night In Birth‘s Waldstein is a huge grappler, and the first character of that archetype to enter the fray. Lastly, we get a look at RWBY’s Weiss Schnee, who places glyphs on the screen. Those can either send ice projectiles or be used as launch pads for dynamic strikes. Jin Kisaragi gets a taste of his own cold medicine.

The latest BBXTAG reveal includes Yukiko Amagi, Gordeau, and Azrael.

Watch Nage creatively destroy opponents in this “Best Moments” Guilty Gear compilation

The best way to sum up Japanese player Nage is to call him a wizard, probably. The young Guilty Gear master is known around the world as an incredible Faust player.

megalodon summary has prepared a compilation of best Nage moments. At the very start, you can see Nage bully world-class Leo Whitefang player T5M7 (Tomo) with perfect pressure. Who would Instant Kill May on her wake-up? Of course, no one but Nage. There are several amazing moments where Nage seemingly improvises creative combinations into Instant Kills. For every situation and for any punish, Nage knows exactly how to finish off the opponent.

The Dragon Ball FighterZ website now has character profiles for Kid Buu, adult Gohan and Gotenks

After their reveal in V-Jump last week, the Dragon Ball FighterZ website has been updated with the official character profiles for Kid Buu, Ultimate Gohan and Gotenks. While most of the information in these profiles is the same as what was in V-Jump, we’ve got a little more on how Gohan’s “Unlock Potential” Super works.

Rather than just being a flat power-up, this Install Super changes the functions of certain moves. I imagine the amount of augmented moves will change based on the number of Super bars you use for this Super — so one bar may only power up your standard Kamehameha, while using all seven bars will boost every one of Gohan’s moves.

This website update also included more information on Dragon Ball FighterZ‘s Arcade Mode, and it may have sunk the theory that Hit was hidden in that V-Jump screen. The website shows a high-quality version of the same screen that was in V-Jump, and you can clearly see that it is Ginyu, not Hit on the Arcade Mode path. If you want to see translated versions of the character profiles and the Arcade Mode information, head on over to ShonenGamez.

For those expecting to play Dragon Ball FighterZ at PlayStation Experience, you’re going to be a bit disappointed. Not only is DBFZ not on the list of playable games, but Bandai Namco is not even listed as an exhibitor at the show. Don’t worry about not getting your DBFZ info fix for December though, as the anime-centric Jump Festa happens a week after, where Bandai Namco are planned to show off their line-up for 2018.

BlazBlue’s 10th anniversary is coming up, and Arc System Works has launched a celebration site

As hard as it is to believe, one of Arc System Works’ newer franchises, BlazBlue, is nearly ten years old now. Are you feeling old yet? To celebrate, ASW put up a new, commemorative site which provides useful tidbits about the franchise.

Though it’s only in Japanese, the BlazBlue 10th Anniversary website lets you read up on all the games in the series, from Calamity Trigger to Central Fiction. There’s also a section on all the characters, including those who appeared only in novels, comics, and side works. The “Creators” page only talks about Toshimichi Mori for now, but it looks like more content will be added. There’s also a Character Popularity Poll and an Illustration Contest.

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger released in Japanese arcades on November 19th, 2008, followed up by consumer releases on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2009. At the time, it appeared to be a successor to the Guilty Gear series.

BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle is coming in 2018 on the PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

Golden Fantasia CROSS coming to Steam on December 9

Last year, MangaGamer announced that they were bringing Ōgon Musōkyoku CROSS to the west via Steam as Golden Fantasia CROSS. Now we know when the game is coming out, as they’ve opened up a Steam store page listing its release date as December 9.

Originally released on December 31, 2011, Ōgon Musōkyoku CROSS is an expansion on the original Ōgon Musōkyoku (itself a spin off of the Umineko When They Cry visual novel series). The update adds a number of new characters, specifically Dlanor A. Knox, Erika Furudo, and Black Battler.

The Steam release features all of these, as well as the three additional characters added in the 2012 patch — Bernkastel, Lambdadelta, and Willard H. Wright. In addition to these, this new release features online play using Steam’s online matchmaking. This online play uses rollback-based netcode, and includes a lobby system for players looking to set up online play sessions with friends and rivals alike.

As a bit of cross promotion, MangaGamer has put the latest installment of the Umineko When They Cry series, the so-called “Answers Arc,” on sale on Steam. Those interested in catching up on the main series can get the game at a 10% discount until November 25.

Fu-sion-ha! Gotenks explodes onto the scene in this Dragon Ball FighterZ trailer

Start practicing the Fusion Dance, as Bandai Namco have released Gotenks’ character trailer for Dragon Ball FighterZ. A fusion of Goten and Trunks, this pint-sized powerhouse uses a mix of blinding speed and wacky attacks to overpower their opponents. Gotenks seems capable at range with moves like his Revenge Cannon and Continuous Die Die Missile, along with his signature Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack.

He also has a ranged command grab with his Galactic Donut, which pops opponents up into the air which could also for a Z-Change combo or a Vanish extension. Gotenks can of course fight up close, with his Rolling Thunder Punch and Daikaiten Kick setting up for juggles if you catch an opponent off-guard. When paired with another projectile-heavy character like Freeza, Gotenks looks be a super-annoying opponent to deal with.

Expect trailers for Kid Buu and Ultimate Gohan within the next week or so!
