Sunny day means a good day for the DoubleTap team as there aren’t a large amount of updates but their is still a good amount of interesting things in the air. In the “Fighter’s Corner” Arcsystemworks put out a new release trailer for Blazblue Cross Tag Battle and revealed the release date for Europe. Namco throws us a bone as Mezza speaks a bit on the new free Tekken 7 costumes. CrashTag is really hyped for Fighting Ex Layer’s gameplay of Hayate and Cracker Jack.

SNK announces Love Heart as the new addition to SNK Heroines. Bandai & Arcsystem released their Fighter Z Cup with a introduction video into it. Vegito and Fused Zamasu received an actual release date. Namco standing strong they bring back an original cast member Yoshimitsu to Soul Calibur 6. Nicalis has seized everyone’s hearts with Shovel Knight gameplay but Mezza speaks on the new arrivals of Lionsgate and Helen as they receive trailers for Blade Strangers.

Little talk of Street Fighter V but possible Cody trailer could show up at Combo Breaker. In the “Randoms of the FGC” Capcom vs SNK sprite work has a comparison video to show the differences between art direction. Nintendo has announced the Super Smash Invitational players. Combo Breaker has put for quite a interesting number count for registered players. Official Eleague player list and who made it. In the “Plug & Play” there is a new Microsoft Adaptive Controller that was created for disabled gamers and non gamers. Within the “Focus Attack” the team leads into Stunfested waters as StunFest an event in France was poorly ran due to some back in structure. Mod Highlights are little light but heavy with the color coordination as mod artist Fewtch drops a Cell Color Pack you can’t ignore.
