I want to see Q.

Bandai Namco released Captain Ginyu's official trailer (Dragon Ball FighterZ).

A new trailer for Dragon Ball FighterZ was released.

Arc System Works expands operations to include new North American branch

Maximilian Dood did a recap of a stream session showcasing many features for the upcoming Dragon Ball FighterZ.

The stream itself was all in Japanese, but Maximilian has gone back through it all and made a more digestible recap for English speakers.

A Japanese-exclusive special edition of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is coming next year.

SNK held a character desing contest and they picked the design from a woman in Saudi Arabia.

Character bio translated

I'm just going to echoe what everyone else has said: the desing reminds me of Zato-1 from Guilty Gear (personally, I'm saying this in a good way).

That could be pretty cool. Haven't played an SNK game, but I always liked the designs.

Why?

I ain't made of time and money. Always been more of a Tekken person but got really into Skullgirls until my hand basically died for a year and a half and is still recovering to this day. Only really excited for FighterZ because its Dragon Ball and has a pretty casual focus.

It's official, Ed Boon has gone completely bonkers... and I love it!

Noctis is going to be a part of Tekken 7: https://gematsu.com/2017/11/tekken-7-add...pring-2018

So that's who people voted for as the third guest character for Tekken 7? Unexpected. Judging by the Twitter replies (it was a twitter poll) it seemed like Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza was going to make in it instead.

Or maybe this is completely unrelated DLC that has nothing to do with the poll.

Honestly I don't think it's part of the poll no. I've looked at several different articles about it and none of them have mentioned the poll even once. I'm willing to bet this has been something that's been in the works since just before FFXV's director, Hajime Tabata-san, said that FFXV wasn't done back in August.

Akira Nishitani (NIN) revealed the title of ARIKA's "Mysterious Fighting Game" for the PlayStation 4 as Fighting EX Layer.

They also revealed a "new" character.

For those out there who are confused about this 'Shirase' character:

(07-17-2017, 05:53 PM)ZpaceJ0ck0 Wrote: [ -> ]Who is Shirase?

The true identity of “Hokuto,” once the bloodline seal placed on her was released. The illegitimate child of the Mizugami Family; to hide her real identity she took the name of Hokuto and jointed the main family. She was brainwashed at infancy and given the mission to kill Kairi, but once the spell wore off, “Hokuto” became no more.

With her final will, she sealed her younger sister Nanase’s memory, so that she could live a life as a normal girl.

The concept of Shirashe's character dates from the era of the EX games. The reason why the Western fandom didn't knew about her until very recently was because most of this stuff was locked away by the language barrier.

Hokuto

http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column-130869.html

A girl a bit unsociable.
It seems she has her motives, but...?
She's close to her young sister Nanase.

Basic Info:

Name: Hokuto
Height: 162 cm
Weight: 51 kg
Blood type: A
Birthday: September, 23
Home Country: Japan
Favorite things: Fashion
Dislikes: Machines's Instruction Manuals

A girl who inherited the blood of Bushin family
and the old art of Mizukamiryū¹.
However, she doesn't adhere to either, fighting with a personal style.
Informed she has an older brother still alive, she embarks on a journey to find him.

"She was the character whose moves inputs changed the most from the development phase.
We had a hard time figuring out her new inputs,
and the adjustment was difficult.
I remember that the programmer
had to do a fine tuning of the camera during her win pose
in order to show her cute face."

¹ "Water God Style".

Bloody Hokuto

http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column-130870.html

The rightful successor of the ancient art of Mizukamiryū.
Apparently, her name during childhood was Shirase².
It seems there is a secret behind it...

Basic Info:

Name: Hokuto
Height: 162 cm
Weight: 51 kg
Blood type: A
Birthday: September, 23
Home Country: Japan
Favorite things: Nothing
Dislikes: Nothing

The head of the Mizukami family confined in the "Seal of Blood"
the thought "obliterate Kairi".
Fearing the dissolution of the seal, Hokuto transferred the right of succession
to her sister Nanase, and set off on a journey to confront her brother.
The true form of the ancient Mizukamiryū, an assassination art.

Hokuto is actually an illegitimate child, her mother being from the head house and her father from a branch family.
In order to hide this secret,
the head of the family raised her as Kairi's sister.
But the grudge the branch family nursed for its mistreatment
transferred into Shirase under the form of a suggestion,
and in a stormy night, a Shirase possessed by that suggestion
threw Kairi into the sea
from the ship in which he was traveling.³

Even today, we have the comment of our senior colleague!

"I think I'll pass the whole task
of explaining who this character is to the EX Drama CD, lol"

¹ Literally "Hokuto whose Seal of Blood was removed". The mentioned seal is the red mark on her forehead.
² "News of death". A veeeery auspicious name to give to your daughter, absolutely not ominous at all.
³ Well, that's news to me. Rather dark.
