Today’s Injustice 2 Watchtower live stream to feature Red Hood breakdown

With Injustice 2 now out in the wild, the Watchtower live stream returns; NetherRealm Studios now looks to shine a spotlight on the game’s first DLC character, Red Hood. Though we saw his gameplay trailer at Combo Breaker, where he utilized gun-katas, shurikens, and the ability to turn his firearms into tasers as his Trait, it will be great to finally get a proper breakdown for the reborn Jason Todd. Ed Boon also confirmed that we’ll learn the character’s release date as well, which is fast approaching. You can view an announcement tweet below, and catch the festivities at 3:00 PM CST (1:00 PM PDT) at https://www.twitch.tv/netherrealm.

Red Hood will be available as part of “DLC Fighter Pack 1” alongside Starfire and Sub-Zero, for those who own the Ultimate and Digital Deluxe Editions.

Tekken 7 tops the UK sales charts for the first time since Tekken 3

Beating out Injustice 2 as the best selling fighting game in the UK, Tekken 7 has climbed the ladder to top the UK sales charts on its week of release. Beating other titles like Overwatch, Fifa 17 and Prey, a Tekken game has not reached the top of the UK sales charts since 1998, when Tekken 3 reached the top for the original PlayStation.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 got close back in 2012, earning second in the charts behind Sleeping Dogs, while Tekken 6 only managed to reach number eight when it launched in 2009. It will now be quite the battle to see if Tekken 7 can hold that top spot for more than one week, and if Injustice 2 will be able to keep its position within the UK top ten.

Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers also managed to get within the top ten during its first week of sale, but it has since plummeted to 34th place on the charts–just above such heavy hitters as Minecraft: PlayStation Edition and Farming Simulator ’17.

Zack “CaptainZack” Lauth joins Phoenix1 as their third Super Smash Bros. player

Joining Gavin “Tweek” Dempsey and James “Duck” Ma on their roster, Zack “CaptainZack” Lauth has become the third Smash player on Phoenix1’s roster. As one of the world’s best Bayonetta mains at only 15 years old, Zack really shot to prominence with fourth place performances at two of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U’s biggest tournaments, Genesis 4 and 2GGC: Civil War. He’s also infamous for his post-victory celebrations–where he literally styles on the opponent by performing Bayonetta’s dance taunt.

Currently ranked 20th on the Panda Global Rankings, CaptainZack is expect to make the top 10 in the upcoming rankings. According to Phoenix1’s director of business developer Charlie Lipsie, Zack will now “earn a salary” and his team will be “covering all the travel and hotel expenses so he can focus on his gameplay, and his dance moves.”

With the Summer of Smash now truly upon us with Nairo Saga this weekend and CEO the weekend after, expect Zack to be showing off his dance moves in a new black and orange jersey soon.
