As you may know, Dragon Ball FighterZ recently received a patch, and Bandai Namco has now released a trailer highlighting all that has been added in the update.

Aside from the balance updates, the recent Dragon Ball FighterZ patch has also added some new content. These include the new FighterZ Tournament (or Tenkaichi Budokai mode in Japan), which allowed custom tournaments with unique rulesets — over 70 in fact. Supporting this is the Z Trophy room where players can show off the trophies they’ve won from these tournaments. Finally, the update also brings Christmas-themed lobby avatars and alternate colors that can be gained from Z Capsules.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is currently available on PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, and Switch.

Famed combo maker STL1119 has pushed Akuma’s wall bounce to strange and exciting places in his latest Tekken 7 combo video. It probably shouldn’t be a surprise — Akuma’s entire gimmick is that he can spend meter to get unique 2D-inspired combo extensions — but his ability to manipulate extensions post wall bounce are staggering.

While some of  STL1119‘s typical combo calling cards are there — I think this video might have the longest run-under reverse corner carry I’ve seen in Tekken to date — it’s Akuma’s ability to keep the enemy high on the wall, or constantly re-splat, that seals the show.

Maxi isn’t one of the more well-represented characters in the zoning-heavy meta of SoulCalibur VI right now. That’s probably a shame because, as LegendaryWolf Shirou shows off for roughly 8 minutes, this character has a variety of high-damage, flashy combos.

Whether at the wall, off a guard crush, or just from a correct loop guess, Maxi can turn some surprising situations into round-stealers. He’s also one of the very few characters in the game that can land multiple CE’s in one combo, thanks to his ability to modify the initial hit into a  juggle state.

Arc System Works is keeping quiet about the future of BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, having teased that a fifth franchise is coming to the collaboration at some point. The company has previously teased about which franchises they might want to work with, among them Avatar: The Last Airbender and Skullgirls, which they publish in Japan.

A fan took it upon themselves to showcase how a fight between existing characters in BBTAG and the Skullgirls would look like. Though not entirely finished (missing a background and such) it’s a pretty neat “concept video” displaying a choreographed battle. They expertly use sprites from both franchises as they match Ragna and Ruby against Painwheel. Yosuke, Yu, and Yang step in, aiding the two scythe warriors. We also get to see what a possible opening between Filia and Ragna would look like; other Skullgirls characters also show up.

Check it out below. Would you be happy if Skullgirls made it into the cast? Let us know in the comments.

SoulCalibur VI has been incredibly kind to Raphael players. While he might still have his by-design weakness to sidestep, SC’s original fencer racks up damage in surprising areas he’s never been able to before. He has exceptionally good punishment, lockdown pressure, good launchers, and perhaps most importantly, insane potential off wall splats.

That latter point is illustrated in the latest in-depth tutorial from LimitBreakGamingAndJapan, whom shows off the variety of highly technical conversions Raphael gets off of his many wall-splats. Going through these wall combos will also teach you a lot about his unique links and Prep cancels — and how this incarnation could be the strongest Raph has ever been.
