As time goes on, Arc System Works is pumping out its characters for BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle at a steady pace, more or less hitting on all the franchise fronts that the game combines. Rather than a new reveal, we’re catching up on a gameplay overview of some past entrants: Noel Vermillion, Chie Satonaka, Waldstein, and Weiss Schnee.

The clip, put together by Jourdal, starts with BlazBlue‘s melee dual-gun wielder Noel, who shows some shorter and longer combos with an assist. A lot of her Drive moves are retained as EX moves that cost one bar to use. Next up is Persona‘s Chie, whose damage can get very explosive with the right hits. Under Night In Birth‘s Waldstein is a huge grappler, and the first character of that archetype to enter the fray. Lastly, we get a look at RWBY’s Weiss Schnee, who places glyphs on the screen. Those can either send ice projectiles or be used as launch pads for dynamic strikes. Jin Kisaragi gets a taste of his own cold medicine.

The latest BBXTAG reveal includes Yukiko Amagi, Gordeau, and Azrael.

The best way to sum up Japanese player Nage is to call him a wizard, probably. The young Guilty Gear master is known around the world as an incredible Faust player. The lanky doctor has the most RNG and randomness in his gameplay, and yet Nage magically creates amazing synergies with whatever item he throws out.

megalodon summary has prepared a compilation of best Nage moments. At the very start, you can see Nage bully world-class Leo Whitefang player T5M7 (Tomo) with perfect pressure. Who would Instant Kill May on her wake-up? Of course, no one but Nage. There are several amazing moments where Nage seemingly improvises creative combinations into Instant Kills. For every situation and for any punish, Nage knows exactly how to finish off the opponent.

Check out the entertaining reel below to see some amazing moments with Nage.

Combo genius desk is back with a couple of new combo videos for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. This time, desk tackles none other than the game’s heavily-armored giant sword swinger, Monster Hunter.

The first video focuses on some loops for Monster Hunter. Specifically, looping back into her Demon Flurry repeatedly both in the corner and from midscreen.

The second video is a more comprehensive combo video for Monster Hunter. The combos run the gamut from both some basic combos, to more advanced stuff. In addition to this, it also shows off some interesting interactions involving her generous amounts of armor, as well as some liberal usage of arrows, and taunting.

“Super Street Fighter Carnival 2017” marches on! SSFC2017 is the currently ongoing Japanese tournament series at Mikado Arcade for a wide variety of classic (and sometimes, obscure) arcade titles. If you missed the first few tournaments from SSFC2017, there’s a lot to catch up on!

We live in a world where how “anime” a fighting game looks often tells you about its gameplay. By that logic, you’d expect the girls of Koihime Enbu (Developer Yeti‘s only fighting game to date), to spend about 90 seconds per round dashing through the air, filling the screen with shmup-like projectiles. If this is your first time watching Koihime Enbu, you might be surprised to see how grounded and patient the gameplay actually is. There’s a small but passionate scene for this game, which is also available on Steam for anyone looking to pick up a footsie-focused indie fighter.

Mikado is constantly uploading a wide variety of arcade entertainment on their channel, so be sure to check them out. You can also try to catch them when they livestream!

As the collective anime fighting game community hypes themselves up over BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, it’s always good to remember that you can reference (most) of these characters in their original series. Ragna Daimond‘s examination of Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st]‘s Gordeau is particularly timely, then, considering the scythe-wielders recent reveal announcement for ArcSys’ cross-over fighter.

Under Night In-Birth‘s giant normals and Gordeau’s combination of command grabs and slides will certainly make him stand out in BBxTB. While the west is still waiting patiently for UNIST release date, there’s still plenty of footage you can check out from the many UNIST events run in Japan, if you don’t have a Japanese PSN account to try UNIST on.
