Unlock the Power of BlazBlue: Central Fiction’s Susanoo with These First Clips

Slightly ahead of its Japanese console release, a screenshot leaked BlazBlue: Central Fiction’s secret character, Susano’o. Unlocked by finishing the game’s story mode, Susano’o is an imposing figure and is the ultimate form of Terumi. Other than his own theme, there is a Hakumen vs. Susanoo track, “God of War,” and a color that resembles Hakumen. Currently, he’s not usable in Network Mode.

The eight seals at the bottom are unlocked by Susano’o’s drive. An arrow indicates the currently selected one, switching over when Susano’o lands blows. Each one corresponds to one of his special moves (among them one that’s pretty correspondent to Sol Badguy’s Grand Viper). Some of them can be “leveled up” two more times.

Clips began showing up on Twitter and YouTube with combos and tech:

“Day 1” Combo Compilation:

Susano’o’s Astral Heat:

One of the Challenge Mode combos shows the full extent of his Distortion Drives. It includes a Distortion Drive that unlocks all seals:

A few more combos, including some Tager-specific:

You can get more creative, too:

Let us know your thoughts on Susano’o in the comments.

TSM|Leffen to Attend The Big House 6

With the recent announcement of his approved visa, many Melee fans have been speculating as to whether TSM|Leffen would make his grand return at The Big House 6 this weekend. Well, the good news is that yes, the villain of Super Smash Bros. Melee will be attending The Big House 6 in Michigan–but there is a catch.

Even though he is attending, he is not aiming to take the trophy home this weekend, as stated in a quick vlog he recorded in the airport on his way to the USA. He stated that he is unlikely to enter the singles event and even if he does, he probably won’t be playing his Fox, but messing around with secondaries like Marth, Sheik or Mewtwo. Since he has been out of the game for a while and hasn’t been diligently practicing during his visa issues, it would be insane to expect him to take the whole tournament, so his attendance is to get used to traveling and attending overseas tournaments again.

Leffen did say he would try to commentate or play in the Crews bracket if he is able, but don’t get your hopes up about The Big House 6 being the lauded return of Leffen. If you want to learn more about his struggles during this whole visa debacle, you can watch his dedicated Red Bull TV series here, which recently saw the release of its final episode.

NorCal Will Fight Against SoCal in ESL’s King of the Hill for Street Fighter V

After successful King of the Hill events for Overwatch and Hearthstone, the ESL are bringing their King of the Hill tournament format to Street Fighter V this October. This month-long tournament series will see players from Northern and Southern California facing off in weekly first-to-10 brackets, live from the ESL Studios in Burbank. This series begins on October 18th, with two invited representatives from each region coming together to determine who will be the first King of the Hill.

Whoever takes or defends the hill will earn $500, as well as a spot in the following week’s tournament. It will then be up to another player from either region to come and retake the hill from the enemy team. All of this action will be commentated by stalwart commentary duo, Ultradavid and James Chen, with all the action being streamed live on the official ESL Twitch channel.

Following the initial clash on October 18th, the next three battles will be on Tuesdays at 3pm PST, so make sure to tune in to see which region is truly dominant in Street Fighter V. With the recent success of ESL Brooklyn Beatdown, I’m sure this event will be up to the same high standard and usher in yet more top quality Street Fighter V events, hosted by ESL.
