As good as they are, one of the quirks of Bandai Namco’s fighting games is their lack of in-game frame data. This of course, also applies to their latest release, SoulCalibur VI.

Now, for competitive players on PC, there’s a solution to your frame data needs. Scuffle over on the r/SoulCalibur subreddit has made an overlay that adds frame data overtop the game on the PC.

The program, which you can check out over on GitHub, is based on the code for Tekken Bot Prime for Tekken 7. Take note that it only works with the game in windowed or borderless windowed mode, and not full screen.

As you may already know, SNK recently announced Miss X as the next addition to the cast of SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy. Now, it turns out that the company has more in store for their experimental fighting game.

At a recent event hosted by Sega, SNK revealed that they are planning to add three more DLC characters to SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy. The characters are expected to arrive by February 2019.

As for Sega’s involvement, the company is the publisher for SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy in Korea, but this doesn’t necessarily mean a Sega character will be involved in the game.

SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is currently available for PlayStation 4 and Switch and Miss X is set to release on November 15.

Just when you thought it was safe to wear orange and blue again.

October’s cuts to the Echo Fox roster seemed to settle down recently, and it was thought that we may have seen the end of it. However, this is not the case.

In a public announcement in both English and Japanese, both Evo 2015 and Capcom Cup 2015 champion Yusuke Momochi and his wife Yuko “ChocoBlanka” Momochi have announced their departure from Echo Fox to “begin a whole new chapter of our life from here.”

They also assured the public that Shinobism (their esports school) and their various other endeavors –including Fudoh — will remain in operation. They then hinted that they will soon “show all of you our new uniform,” while stressing that it won’t be a Shinobism or Fudoh uniform, possibly signifying that they have taken their talents elsewhere.

Europe at times gets the short end of the stick with the release schedule for some games. Happily, it seems that this wont be the case for BlazBlue: Central Fiction Special Edition for Switch.

PQube has announced that BlazBlue: Central Fiction Special Edition will be arriving in Europe on February 8 – one day after the Japanese release date.

For those not aware of this port, BlazBlue: Central Fiction Special Edition comes with all the DLC released for prior releases of Central Fiction on other platforms. In addition to this, it comes with a host of features that take advantage of the Switch’s unique form factor, including support for 2-player versus using the two JoyCons.

As previously reported, there’s been a bit of a brouhaha over the ability to use Create-A-Souls characters in SoulCalibur VI‘s ranked matches. The issues range from customs affecting the game’s balance, to players using hacks to create characters that are covered by custom items.

Now, Bandai Namco seems to be taking steps towards addressing the issue. On the game’s official Japanese site, a new warning has been put up stating that players who use “inappropriate custom characters” may risk having the ability to play online taken from them.

The warning itself doesn’t cite anything specific, not really stating what an “inappropriate custom character” is. That said, this may refer to hacked characters with items that are beyond the in-game size limits. Additionally, this may also apply to characters with designs that might be deemed obscene or offensive.

Whatever the case may be, it seems that Bandai Namco is aware of the issues, and is taking steps to address them.
