Android 16 looks to defend nature in his Dragon Ball FighterZ character trailer

Bandai Namco Entertainment America has recently released another character trailer for their upcoming collaboration with Arc System Works, Dragon Ball FighterZ. This time they tackle the recently-revived, “defective” peaceful cyborg — who seems to be playing a large part in Android 21’s machinations — Android 16.

The quick snippet of gameplay gives a look at some of the cybernetic grappler’s command throws, ki blasts (which involve him removing his hand to expose a blaster in his arm), as well as one of his destructive Level 3 supers, the Full Power Hell’s Flash.

You can see the full trailer below. Don’t forget to check out introductory character trailers for the two newest villains, Captain Ginyu and Nappa — as well as Maximilian’s full character breakdown on 16 — to discover his full capabilities.

Dragon Ball FighterZ will be released in North America and Europe on January 26th, 2018 (in standard, FighterZ, Deluxe and CollectorZ Editions) for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam PC. A Japanese release on those same platforms will follow on February 1st. An open beta test will also be held sometime before the title’s full release.

Tekken World Tour Finals interviews asks why qualifiers picked their mains, and who they fear playing the most

Bandai Namco‘s Tekken World Tour Finals Player Interviews series continues! In this installment, Speedkicks, Anakin, Jimmy J Tran, and Joey Fury are asked about why they picked their mains, and which player they least want to play in the finals.

The former questions’s responses are jovial and often can be summarized as “I thought this character was cool when I first saw Tekken!” But it’s the latter question that really shows where these guys are, mentally: “At some point, you’re going to have to play someone that’s fantastic at Tekken,” Joey Fury shrugs when he’s asked who he wants to avoid fighting the most. If there is a candid moment that shows the difference in mentality between top tier players and the field, this is it. “There’s no sense in saying, ‘Oh, I hope I don’t run into that person.’”

– Darwin Project – Dev Diary #1 The Manhunt

Our writer Vance Musgrave is presenting an overview of the players experience. The game has two defining features: Manhunt and Survival. Track the position of your enemies, by using environmental clues they left behind and be creative with your use of crafted traps to take the upperhand. The biting cold of the Northern Canadian Rockies will also slowly freeze you should you be careless.

Stand at attention for all of the Ginyu Force’s anime and manga references in Dragon Ball FighterZ

All of you prospective Ginyu Force members, stand at attention, for your Captain has arrived in Dragon Ball FighterZ! IKevinX tackles the recently-revealed Captain Ginyu in his latest anime and manga reference video — appropriately set to their Japanese theme, because Ginyu Force rules! Like any good leader with a loyal squadron, Ginyu will never enter battles alone, (despite already having two teammates) as the entire Force: Guldo, Recoome, Burter, and Jeice will all be by his side to create, as the developers describe,” the feeling of playing five characters at once.”

From their iconic introductory pose when arriving on Planet Namek, to Ginyu’s newest pose he created to greet Frieza following his glorious return (in Tagoma’s body), to Dragon Ball Super, every bit of charm and hilarious flamboyance of the five most elite warriors of the Frieza Force appears to be lovingly preserved.

Of course, this courtesy is further extended to his subordinates — who, based off what we’ve seen, will make up a large portion of the Captain’s moveset: each busting out their signature attacks such as the Recoome Eraser Gun, Jeice’s Crusher Ball, Guldo’s Time Stop, Burter’s Blue Hurricane, as well as the Purple Spiral Flash. These are all on display, along with Ginyu’s signature Milky Cannon and Body Change serving as his Supers.

IKevinX also hopes to have a Tien video out soon. You can catch the video, and begin the Dance of Joy, below.

Dragon Ball FighterZ will be released in North America and Europe on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam PC on January 26th, 2018, with a Japanese release on the same platforms following on February 1st.

Get a bearing on flying and neat tricks in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite with this tutorial video

Flying is a long-standing mechanic in the Marvel fighting game series. And though Storm and Magneto are missing in the latest version, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, a host of characters is still able to use the trademark mechanic. rooflemonger’s new video will help you spread your wings!

The video begins by covering the basic mechanics of flight, so it’s an excellent starter for MvC:I newcomers. Flying is limited, allows movement in any directions, lets you air-dash, and also lifts a character off the ground at the start at various initial heights. Then the video goes into jab-canceling the air dashes. Doing a jab puts a stop on the dash, which can be repeated quickly. Each dash slowly lowers the fighter as well, but you can use upper directions as a countermeasure. The real meat though lies in using aerial movement for fake cross-up mix-ups — covered later on in the video — which explains some character-specific maneuvers.

The rivalry reignites in this Sol versus Ky Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 combo music video

It’s time to shine a light on the classic rivalry present throughout the Guilty Gear series: somehow, these fire and lightning wielders, at each others’ throats at all almost times, just never gets old. Y. Xiao taps into that passion with a zealous combo movie titled “The Re-Coming.”

There’s a twist on the typical combo video structure. Rather than doing a combo after combo in a typical fashion, Sol and Ky trade sequences one after the other, simulating an ongoing fight. What’s more, the backgrounds smoothly switch as the video goes on. We see a good variety of midscreen and corner sections with a few examples of okizeme. Later on, the combos get more damaging as we start to see Overdrives and some Dragon Install combos. When’s Lighting Install though?

Check it out below, and get inspired by the timeless Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 rivalry.
