#FightingNEWS #EVO2019 announcements

Here's a bunch of fighting game news, straight from #EVO 2019!

First up Ed Boon & Netherrealm Studios finally showed ONE of the upcoming new DLC characters for Mortal Kombat 11's Kombat Pack , fan-favorite Nightwolf! (Sorry Sindel, and even worse, Mileena fans, nothing for you guys..)



During EVO 2019's big Dragon Ball FighterZ finals, Arc System Works officially announced Janemba and Gogeta with the following trailer. And Janemba's getting released this week no less!



And while I might not be a big fan of it, let's not skip French Bread's update for their 2D fighter Under Night In-Birth: EXE Late[cl-r]. Yeah. Such a weird silly name. But things look pretty decent though:



Slightly ahead of schedule for EVO, thanks to a Valve/Steam leak, the announcement of more Street Fighter V DLC characters! All available right ahead! Fans wanted E.Honda for so long.. and we even got two more Final Fight guest, thanks Ono!



One of the big announcements of EVO was Harada announcing a major update for TEKKEN 7 as well as a new Season 3 that will include a bunch of changes, stages and characters. Starting with a fan much requested return and a newcomer for T7:



BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle is getting EVEN MORE characters! It's not the best game ever.. but I love it!



SNK probably confirmed development on the new King of Fighters XV with the following logo:

As well as the full roster of DLC (which includes a free character) for the Samurai Shodown reboot - along the confirmation of a Season 2 coming in 2020 with more DLC characters! PLEASE ADD IROHA, SNK!!



And while we're on the subject, NAMCO revealed the last character coming to Soul Calibur VI....



...As well as a confirmation of a Season 2 which will no less than a guest character from SNK... HAOMARU himself from Samurai Shodown!!! I love seeing all these SNK characters pop up in all sorts of fighters, lately!



But the best announcement came form ArcSys who just announcement a brand new Guilty Gear for 2020! Look how beautiful it looks! Even better than Xrd! It looks like working on Dragon Ball and Kill la Kill sure helped them master this new graphics style & engine!

#FightingNEWS BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle

I always wantedd to see Arc Systems finally cross over BlazBlue and their original fighting series Guilty Gear. Sadly it seems this won't be the case just yet... But they did announce a new special episode of BlazBlue at EVO!

BlazBlue will have a 3-way crossover with other fan favorite series.

Blazblue Cross Tag Battle is a new crossover fighting game featuring Blazblue, Persona 4 Arena, and Under Night in-Birth! Ruby Rose from RWBY.

Since it's a crossover game open to fighting game newcomers, it will feature a 2-VS-2 tag gameplay. Here's the announcement trailer:



BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle is scheduled for 2018.

#Gaming NEWS! new Blazblue

So Arc System Works apparently just announced yet another Blazblue installment.
Do we consider those actual new installments? (like from Street Fighter 2 to Street Fighter Alpha/Zero to Street Fighter 3?) Or they just merely updates? (like from Street Fighter 2 to Street Fighter 2 Turbo to Super Street Fighter 2?)

Anyway, the new episode (the 4th one if you count Calamity Trigger, Continuum Shift & Continuum Shift II) will be titled Blazblue: Chrono Phantasma.

The new game will features 3 new characters, updated movesets, new stages, new music & some more tweaks to the series.
The 3 new characters are: Amane, Bullet, and Azrael.

The tweaks to the previous characters include updated stances, changes to their designs such as their costumes, and new moves.
For example Noel will use now a different weapon and doesn't wear a barret anymore.

What did you do this weekend?!

Hey gang, long time since I did one of these, heh?!
I originally planned on posting this yesterday, but stuff like work and life got in the way :P

This time, let's talk movies, TV and fighting games! (again!)

What did you do this weekend?!

Hey gang, long time since I did one of these, heh?!

So, what did you guys and gals do this weekend?
Read any fun book I should heard of? Any good movies out there? Any entertaining video games lately?

Me? Well, besides watching hours of 30 Rock for no reason - it's been mostly this...

Yep!
Big FIGHTIN' GAMES marathon!
Powered by the Xbox 360, so it seems XD

It's been the occasion to have a quick run through all of these again, shake back memories and whatnot.

Here's my current impression of this generations' titles (I've mostly played the latest iterations of them, if available)
