Following the success of the US and Japanese leagues, which have been running since 2018 and 2020 respectively, publisher Capcom launched its Street Fighter League Pro in Europe in October 2022. The championship, which pitted 24 of the region’s best players against each other in a four-person team tournament, ended with Mouz taking the victory and becoming the first ever European champions.

Mouz have now earned a spot to compete against the best SFL US and SFL Japan teams in the Street Fighter League World Championship 2022, taking place on Feb. 17-18 at the ninth annual Capcom Cup in Los Angeles. A total cash prize of $150,000 will be divided between the winners and finalists of the competition.

“The level of competition in SFL was extremely high” Said Mouz Captain Problem X. “I could not be happier with the performance of my team. I’m very pleased to have won the first SFL in Europe whilst representing Mousesports!”

Dragons descend into World of Warships: Legends for Lunar New Year

Legends first major update of the year sees plenty of Pan-Asian content in celebration for Lunar New Year, alongside the game’s first Legendary Italian ship the fourth instalment of Azur Lane content and more

30th January – World of Warships are ringing in the Lunar New Year on consoles in World of Warships: Legends. This update is jam-packed with content, including ships, a Commander, and specialty skins. Legends also welcomes the fourth wave of Azur Lane to its harbours, a Legendary Italian cruiser to the research Bureau and yet another classic five-week, 100 milestone campaign with the German Tier VIII Premium battleship, Pommern, waiting at the end.

Pan-Asian Arrivals

Welcoming the Year of the Rabbit, a boatload of Pan-Asian content has bounced into Legends. Kicking off these Lunar New Year celebrations is a brand-new dragon Commander guise, equipped with its own special voiceover. Keeping the scaly theme going, Tier VII Premium Pan-Asian destroyer, Northern Dragon, makes a debut, alongside a number of special, Pan-Asian skins for a handful of ships to get in on the festivities.

On top of this, Lunar New Year sees a dedicated crate come to the game, and a whole new branch of four Tier IV-VII tech tree cruisers coming to Early Access. These ships, sporting some hefty deep-water torpedoes, each come with a personal mission to complete. This branch will become researchable in the next update and make way for the introduction of the line-topping Tier VIII Sejong.

Ladies, ships, and guns

A fabulous quintet, this Azur Lane reinforcement, same as the previous three waves, is based on the Azur Lane Characters. Those are: Eagle Union New Jersey, Royal Navy Neptune, Iron Blood Roon, Northern Parliament Chapayev, and last, but definitely not least comes Iris Libre – the first character of this faction to grace Legends’ waters – Saint Louis.

Two shiny new ships will dock in the port.No captain is worthy enough without their ships, so a couple of those, Azur Lane New Jersey as a battleship and Azur Lane Chapayev as a cruiser, are joining US and Soviet Navies, respectively.

Three more new skins, Azur Lane Roon (for German navy), Azur Lane Neptune (for Royal Navy), and Azur Lane Saint Louis will be obtainable alongside aforementioned in-game items. However, all of these require having an original version of the warship to be useful.

The new Azur Lane crate, unlike the iterations of previous parts of the collaboration, does not drop only the current wave Commanders. Instead, it contains a chance for every item of the collaboration, among other in-game goodies.

Campaign, Competitive Modes and More

Wrapping up this packed update is another classic Legends campaign. Waiting at the end of the five-week, 100-milestone Griffin of the Baltic campaign is the solid German Tier VIII Premium battleship Pommern. This vessel boasts a solid HP pool alongside a powerful secondary battery and mighty AP shells. This update also sees three extended seasons of Ranked Battles and two also-extended Brawls to the game, with Ranked Battles available to  ships spanning Tier V-VII to engage in five-on-five battles.

Closing out January’s update, Legends also welcomes its first Legendary Tier Italian ship, with cruiser Napoli of Regia Marina joining as a free Bureau project.

This update also brings a number of bug fixes, upgrades and balance changes across the game.

Fire Emblem Engage Expansion Pass Wave 1 Analysis

With the release of Fire Emblem Engage Nintendo simultaneously released the first wave of DLC for the game’s expansion pass and while some of these items will be obtained a bit later into the game, players will almost immediately receive a nice bonus right away. As soon as players unlock shops in the Somniel in Chapter 5 they will be given a number of support items that, when used on a character, will increase a stat a certain amount. It is worth noting these items can only be used once so while they may provide an early boost to a character’s abilities, it might be worth saving them to see who will be your favorite characters later on. Players will also be given a set of accessories that they can equip to their characters to customize their appearances starting in Chapter 6.

Of course the biggest reason that many will want to pick up the expansion pass for the game will be to obtain more of Fire Emblem Engage‘s signature Emblem Rings. Of course, these pieces of DLC are instead treated as Emblem Bracelets instead and come in the form of the Fire Emblem: Three Houses bracelet as well as the Tiki bracelet for this first expansion pass. Once players manage to complete Chapter 6 they will be able to return to the Somniel and receive a small notification that an item has been located on the Lookout RIdge. As soon as players travel there they will be treated to a scene with Vander saying that a special bracelet has been located and Alear will immediately recognize that it contains a number of souls within it.

As players interact with the Three Houses bracelet they will realize that it contains not only the soul of Edelgard but also of DImitri and Claude making them a rather unique Emblem to equip. Not only is this Three Houses Emblem focused around increasing various stats as players grow their Bond with the bracelet but they will also gain EXP at a faster rate by participating in combat. This means that players can not only use this bracelet to turn their favorite character into a powerhouse but also use it to help lower leveled characters catch up to the rest of the crew. It is also nice to note that since this bracelet offers multiple weapon proficiency bonuses and a number of great inheritance skills this DLC bracelet is an extremely powerful item for customization. Interacting with the Bracelet either in the Somniel or in Bond conversations will feature one of the three souls talking with the characters and in combat they take on a rather unique form.

Every turn in battle the equipped Emblem will swap the soul that is in the lead, meaning that players may start with Claude as the lead character only for Edelgard to take charge the next. The gambit skill that the unit will be able to use depends on which character is currently in the lead with Edelgard able to deal massive damage and set the nearby area aflame, Claude able to poison all foes in the area after combat, and Dimitri blocking all ranged damage for a single turn. Should players wish to use the character’s Engage skill once they have Engaged with the ring, they will be able to attack using an axe, bow, and spear almost guaranteeing a “break” status on the target but usually killing them in one blow.

As for the other Emblem Bracelet players will need to put up a fight to obtain it as Tiki won’t go as easily as the Three Houses characters. Once players complete chapter 6 they will automatically unlock an additional path that can be traveled on the map called “Divine Paralogues” and Tiki marks the first and currently only available stage in this area. If players choose to tackle the map they will encounter a few new mechanics immediately as well as speak with Tiki who wishes to challenge Alear to see if they are a proper fit for her bracelet. As such, they must complete a battle against Tiki’s summoned forces of generic soldiers as well as a fight against herself. The map will include a variety of foes that aren’t incredibly difficult but will continue to spawn after a certain point and will also require players to reach a number of switches to unlock doors to reach Tiki. Reaching these areas is helped by ice tiles that, rather than causing characters to slip, actually help them move extra spaces during their turn.

Once players defeat Tiki she will not only have a heartwarming conversation with Marth but also join the player’s Emblem arsenal as an incredibly powerful tool. Any unit that is equipped with Tiki’s Emblem Bracelet will gain additional stats as they level up to the point that some levels saw every single stat increase and at minimum four stats at once. Also as players activate their Engage with Tiki they will enter an entirely new form as they will assume the form of a powerful dragon that will lay waste to opponents on the field with increased stats. Not only does this make Tiki immune to almost all weapon types making her impossible to break but also an extremely powerful attacker with multiple types of attacks she can help players wield in a fight.

To make Tiki’s Emblem Bracelet even stronger, many of the skills that players can inherit for their characters increase stats such as health, reduce incoming damage, and even increase how long a character can be in their Engaged form as well as decrease the amount of time it takes to refill the gauge. Perhaps one of her most useful features, especially for players playing with perma-death is her ability to grant a nearby ally one revival stone per transformation. These revival stones will automatically prevent a character from dying in battle and restore their health making this a valuable item for characters about to enter a risky situation. Of course, she also makes her wearer something of a tank themselves as anytime they stand still and don’t make an action they will also regenerate an ever increasing amount of health the closer bonded players are with her. As such Tiki becomes an incredibly powerful Emblem making her perhaps the strongest in the game as any character wielding her will turn into a destructive force capable of taking and dishing out plenty of damage.

Players who want to pick up the Expansion Pass containing this DLC as well as multiple planned DLC packs in the future can do so here. Those interested in seeing what we think of Fire Emblem Engage itself can also find our full review here.
