Join a Z-Union and get ready for the FighterZ Cup in Dragon Ball FighterZ

Get ready to represent your Z-Union in the FighterZ Cup!

Following the recent announcement of the new Party Battle Mode that was added to Dragon Ball FighterZ in the game’s latest update, it is now time for producer Tomoko Hiroki to unveil the other new mode for the game: the FighterZ Cup.

Like Party Battles, this will also be a limited-time online-only event, in which each character’s respective Z-Unions will all wage war with one another, in a similar manner to Mortal Kombat X‘s Faction Battles. Each FighterZ Cup will only be held for one week, during which Union members will face off in League Matches, ranked Z1, Z2, and Z3, with the goal of obtaining League Points for their respective Union based off of their performance. There will also be “Performance Prizes” that players can earn by fulfilling certain conditions, providing their Z-Union with bonus League Points, so even smaller Unions have a shot at great rewards.

On the seventh day, results will be announced, with rewards doled out to both Z-Unions and individual FighterZ. The inaugural FighterZ Cup kicked off yesterday — Tuesday, May 22nd — and will last until the 28th. However, since this is the very first event, each Union will have to win a series of placement matches in order to earn a League rank. You can see the full video below.

Tekken 7 combo video “Gaijin Godfist” shows off the pain that Geese Howard can dish out

Combos to remind us that the boss of South Town is not to be taken lightly.

The slippery warp-striking Prince Noctis might be the newest flavor in Tekken 7 DLC, but we mustn’t forget that Fatal Fury‘s South Town boss Geese Howard is still a force to be reckoned with, as guest characters go. In the combo compilation below, tmd02 seeks to push the limits of Tekken’s combo system and offers up some impressive damage, nasty wall carries, and interesting uses for Geese’s Rage Arts and meter. Practical? Debatable, but watching Geese crush life bars like this is a fun reminder of how hype we were to get him as a guest fighter in the first place!

Thanks to SMP for the tip!

The latest Blade Strangers trailer showcases Emiko — and her gigantic cat, Shakemaru

That’s a really big cat she’s riding!

Nicalis has released yet another character trailer for Blade Strangers. This time, the trailer focuses on Emiko from Saynara Umihara Kawase.

The main thing that sets Emiko apart from the other characters is that she comes riding her giant cat: Shakemaru. Indeed, Shakemaru actually does the brunt of the fighting for Emiko in the game. Fighting game veterans will likely be reminded of “Bust” mode Nakoruru/Rera from the Samurai Shodown games, except Emiko rides on Shakemaru pretty much all the time.

EMIKO Plays to Win!
From Sayonara Umihara Kawase, she clings to the back of her giant pet cat, Shakemaru!!

Rumor: Are Cloud, Tifa, and Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII going to be guest characters for SoulCalibur VI?

Are even more Final Fantasy characters coming to a Bandai Namco fighter?

YouTuber Dynasty has offered up a tantalizing but questionable rumor, based on a supposedly leaked internal agenda document for the upcoming E3 2018. The agenda reportedly includes a reference to a SoulCalibur VI reveal trailer that will introduce not one, but three prominent characters from Square-Enix’s fan-favorite Final Fantasy VII: Cloud, Tifa, and Sephiroth.

How likely is this, really? Well, Square-Enix and Bandai Namco are already on pretty good sharing terms lately, seeing as the latest DLC fighter for Tekken 7 was none other than the star of Final Fantasy XV, Noctis. And while three additional guests from a single property may seem extreme, SoulCalibur is no stranger to guest fighters, and lots of ’em. But why Final Fantasy VII in particular? Clearly, Square-Enix has a strong interest in promoting FFVII to build and retain interest for the in-development Final Fantasy VII remake, which is also expected to have some new footage revealed at E3 this year.

As Dynasty points out in the video, Cloud had been a contender for inclusion in SoulCalibur II already. And this isn’t even the first outing for these characters in a Namco 3D fighting game: all three of them were included in the PlayStation version of the DreamFactory-developed Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring, along with three other FFVII characters (only Cloud and Tifa were in the Namco-published arcade version, however).

So basically, this rumor isn’t outside the realm of possibility — depending on how hard you believe Square-Enix wants to push the FFVII franchise, and how amenable you figure Bandai-Namco would be to throwing three FFVII characters into their upcoming title. Alternatively: maybe only one of the three is coming as a playable fighter, and the trailer description in the agenda is a red herring? We won’t know for certain until E3 hits Los Angeles on June 12-13, and this “leak” is confirmed as genuine, or killed outright.
