Amazing Detail and Manga
References Arc System Works Put Into
Dragon Ball FighterZ
|
|
|
For a title like Dragon
Ball FighterZ, references and throwbacks to the original manga/anime are to
be expected. However, Arc System Works is going above and beyond with each
character's in-game animations and attacks, which closely resemble specific
artwork from the original manga. Youtuber "IKevinX" put together
several excellent videos
that show off the amazing attention to detail and references Arc System Works
has packed into DBFZ.

Arika Teases New Street
Fighter EX / Fighting Layer Successor on April Fools Day
|
|
|
Arika (Street Fighter
EX developer) used this April Fools day to debut a gameplay
video of a new fighting game engine they're working on, featuring SFEX
characters, Kairi, Garuda and Hokuto. Several years back, Arika shared
developmental footage of a SFEX-inspired reboot, but it was
experimental. However, it seems Arika never actually stopped development of
the spiritual successor to SFEX,
and hasn't forgotten about the characters they own the
rights to.
