New Guilty Gear Strive Trailer Reveals Anji And I-No Gameplay

Developer Arc System Works has dropped a new Guilty Gear Strive trailer that showcases some gameplay for two of the 2D fighter’s latest roster additions: Anji Mito and I-No.

Both characters are iconic to the Guilty Gear franchise, with Anji first appearing in the sequel title Guilty Gear X and I-No showing up as a boss in the follow-up, 2002’s Guilty Gear X2. Neither were playable in the game’s recent beta, so this is the first look at them in action.

The video shows both characters’ movesets. There’s a brief Anji montage before the video switches over to I-No, who pummels opponents with her mint-colored Yamaha-looking guitar.

Hulu Is Adding Felicity, My So-Called Life, And Blossom To Its Platform Next Week

Hulu is making the week starting March 8 “’90s Week” by bringing iconic teen dramas Felicity and My So-Called Life to the streaming service on March 9 and March 11 respectively according to Entertainment Weekly. On March 8, the sitcom Blossom will also be brought to the platform.

These premieres are intended to be a runway of sorts to the premiere of Kid 90, a Hulu original documentary directed and produced by Soleil Mon Frye, which will be available on March 12. Frye originated the titular role of Punky Brewster in the ’80s NBC sitcom, and as her career got started at the age of 8, she “carried a video camera everywhere she went.” The documentary “presents a true time capsule of a group of friends growing up in Hollywood and New York City in the ’90s, balancing childhood and fame pre-internet and social media.” Frye has reprised her role as Punky Brewster in the recent Peacock revival, which again has the same name. Kid 90 also stars David Arquette, Jenny Lewis, Will Smith, Mark Wahlberg, and Mario Lopez.

Apex Legends Chaos Theory Patch Notes Released, Lots Of Quality Of Life Updates

Respawn has released the full patch notes for the Apex Legends Chaos Theory Collection Event update, which will launch on March 9 alongside the battle royale’s release on Switch. There are a lot of substantial changes in this update.

The really big stuff is displayed in the trailer for the Chaos Theory Collection Event: Caustic’s town takeover is replacing Kings Canyon’s Water Treatment, Heat Shields are being added as a solution for temporarily surviving outside the ring, Bangalore is getting an heirloom, and a new Ring Fury limited-time mode will replace standard Trios and Duos. But there are tons of quality-of-life changes beyond these ones which will have significant impacts on Apex Legends’ in-match meta.

Changes To Characters

This update takes a stab at reworking the defender class, with balance changes for Wattson, Caustic, Gibraltar, and Rampart. The change to Wattson–she now passively regenerates shields, similarly to how Octane regenerates health–is an interesting one. As the smallest defender, Wattson is the only one to take extra damage on account of her Low Profile perk. Assumedly, this update is to address that weakness, stacking on top of the shield regeneration provided by her Intercept Pylon to further solidify her as someone who always bunkers down. She’ll likely now be able to survive just a little bit longer, passively healing between fights as she reestablishes her defenses.

Elizabeth Olsen And Jimmy Fallon Travel Through Tonight Show Eras WandaVision Style

WandaVision airs its finale on Disney+ this week and Elizabeth Olsen was making the late-night rounds to promote it. She made a small stop at The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and appeared in a sketch that showcased the talk show through the decades a la WandaVision.

Starting in the 1950s with a set that mirrored that of The Tonight Show Steve Allen years, then on to the decades with Johnny Carson, and finally to Jay Leno and Jimmy’s own set. There was even a nod to Conan O’Brien but it was more of a riff of his Late Night set back in the mid-90s. You can check it out below.

WandaVision, much like Disney+’s other big hit The Mandolorian, is at the center of the pop-cultural zeitgeist right now with the soundtrack and the song Agatha All Along, hitting the top of Spotify’s streaming charts.
