With Dragon Ball FighterZ‘s release just a couple of months away, Bandai Namco is naturally starting to ramp up the promotion for the game. As part of this, they’re starting to advertise the game on television in Japan.

The company has thus released their first television commercial for Dragon Ball FighterZ. While the video — which was aired as part of the recent episode of Dragon Ball Super — doesn’t give out any new details, it does showcase the action well from this already impressive-looking title.

Check out the TV spot below:

Ignoring for a second where your opinion may stand on Tekken 7‘s Lucky Chloe as a character, there’s an undeniable fact about the official mascot of G Corp — she hits like a truck.

Whatever weaknesses the acrobatic idol may have in neutral and punishment, she makes up for in absurd damage potential. This is true of both her normal bread and butter combos, and of the flashy juggles put together here by Japanese player KYSG. Regardless of whether you stick to the standard DF+1 filler or go for a more stylish dance, make sure you’re always cashing out your conversions for the highest damage you can perform.

Mismagius is an odd support in Pokkén Tournament DX. It’s great for a brief lock-down and chip damage, but its slow summon time makes it to vulnerable outside of specific knockdown setups. It also goes away very quickly once your opponent blocks it — assuming, of course, you don’t manipulate the situation.

Because you can push your opponent’s hurtbox with forward momentum, you can create situations where Mismagius “follows” you, causing one of its many hits to stagger one at a time. This completely prevents your opponent from escaping as long as you know how to “fill the gaps” of Mismagius’s hits, and allows potential guard break setups as well, depending upon your character.

A selection of good talent across the board is not the only plus of last week’s TSB: Yabai Invasion event, which included several prestigious Guilty Gear and BlazBlue players. Another big advantage of the tournament is diversity of games, from old classic to current fighters.

The hype reel below covers a lot of the titles that were played and showcases the best moments. It starts with Under Night In-Birth EXE:Late[st], moving onto some Vampire Savior action. Then the hype reel proceeds to some BlazBlue: Central Fiction gameplay. There are some great matches between PG|SKD’s Izayoi and Milk_Kaichou’s Rachel. After that there’s a nice surprise — it’s Sailor Moon S! Just what you ordered.

Lastly, there’s a long segment on Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2, which finished it up with a very exciting top 8. Check out our Yabai Invasion Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 results page for more information and sink your teeth into the Hype Reel below.
