With the release date of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite continuing to creep up on us, the official PlayStation YouTube channel has released a trailer showcasing an exclusive piece of content that will be coming to the console, in the form of the Major Carol Danvers costume for new challenger Captain Marvel, previously announced last June.

Referencing her civilian past as an Air Force pilot — before she made contact with the explosion that gave her powers — this outfit equips her with a bomber jacket, shades, jeans, and an alternate hairstyle, as she unleashes the power of Binary on Evil Ryu and Gladiator Hulk inside Avengers Tower.

The costume will be available in the standard, Deluxe and Collector’s editions of the game (with the latter editions containing the 2017 Character Pass, some additional alternate costumes, and other premium collectible goodies).

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite will be released on September 19th in North America and Europe for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam PC. A Japanese release will follow on the same platforms on September 21st.

For more MvC:I coverage, you can watch the pre-order costumes trailer for Warrior Thor, Evil Ryu, Gladiator Hulk, and Command Mission X, check out some pro gameplay captured by Tasty Steve, or catch a glimpse of the game’s leaked final boss, Ultron Omega.

“Fight, Kamen Rider! Seize victory with those hands…!”

Bandai Namco announced that there will be an English version of Kamen Rider Climax Fighters with Japanese voice-overs releasing on December 7th, 2017. This version of the game is meant for distribution in Southeast Asia, and will be coming to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. Thanks to the PlayStation 4’s region-free setup, those interested in the title have the ability to import the game from these sources and play them on their own system, regardless of where it was purchased.

Bandai Namco also released a new trailer to show off many of the game’s upcoming features. Combat will be arena-focused with platforms and obstacles adding variety to the stages. Players will compete in one on one or two on two battles and can also enter into a four player battle royale at home or online. There will also be an online lobby where players can communicate with chibi avatars wearing their favorite Kamen Rider masks.

The game will feature Kamen Riders from the tenth series, Kamen Rider Kuuga, to the most recent installment, Kamen Rider Build. Each character will have their own special skills and techniques that set them apart on top of their already distinct appearances. Expect signature poses and catch phrases to fill the battlefield with one-of-a-kind, Kamen Rider flair!

There will be multiple versions of the game released in Japan. The limited Premium R Sound Edition will include 38 tracks that consist of theme songs from throughout the series as well as music from the game itself. Those who buy the Premium R Sound Edition early will also get seven design sheets of popular Kamen Riders within a uniquely made box. Those who purchase any version of the game early will receive a PlayStation 4 theme celebrating the game.

This is great news for Kamen Rider fans outside of Japan. Hopefully, this announcement is the beginning of Kamen Rider Climax Fighters‘ move westward!

The Marvel Vs. series is not stranger to giant-sized final bosses. Starting with Apocalypse in X-Men vs. Street Fighter, each game’s main single-player mode has always been punctuated with a fight against a screen-filling monstrosity. Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite continues that tradition — as yesterday, footage of the game’s final boss Ultron Omega surfaced on the net.

While he has “Ultron” in is name, Ultron Omega’s appearance borrows more from his Capcom half — Sigma. Longtime Mega Man X fans will probably get a sense of deja vu when they see the boss, looking much like Sigma’s final form in Mega Man X5.

Sadly, the footage of Ultron Omega was pulled from YouTube, however this was not before people made animated GIF images from it. AvengerAlex has put these together in a video of his own. Now, because of this, some things that were highlighted in the old video may not be as obvious here. First being that the fight takes quite awhile — over 5 minutes in fact, which is a slog in fighting game terms. Additionally, Ultron Omega constantly switches Infinity Stones during the match, and has his own versions of their Infinity Surges and Storms — somewhat similar to Thanos in Marvel Super Heroes. Finally, he can also call in drone, similar to Galactus’ heralds in Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

As Street Fighter V‘s fifth Season 2 DLC character continues to make waves with players, a strange glitch involving her crystal ball has surfaced that allows the “Eyes Of The Future” to cause her AI opponents to stop all attacks against her.

Looygi has discovered that, when facing CPU foes, placing the crystal ball with Menat’s Soul Sphere will cause her computer-controlled adversaries to immediately cease all forms of offense. Instead of attacking, they will simply begin shimmying forward and backward around the stage. However, once Menat retrieves her ball with Soul Sphere: Ankh, the computer will immediately snap right back into action and resume fighting.

This strange phenomenon can also occur when Menat activates her V-Trigger, Wisdom Of Thoth, which summons six additional orbs around her body that are individually tied to each of the six attack buttons. This will cause the same ceasefire effect with the computer until all 6 orbs are released, which will then snap them back into the fight. Looygi tested all of this against a Zangief set at CPU Level 8, noting that this glitch works best at higher difficulty settings.

For those wondering if this can be utilized to breeze your way through Survival Mode with Menat, looygi said the following in the video’s comments. “Yes it does [work in Survival Mode]. The problem is that it works better on higher difficulty, but in Survival the CPU level is kind of random. So you can use this bug on Survival too, but it’s still not going to be easy to complete.” You can see the full video demonstrating the glitch below.

It will be interesting to see if Capcom patches this out when the final Season 2 DLC character arrives later this year. Give us your thoughts on this strange glitch in the comments below.
