Interview with Hiroki-san!

•  What made you hold another World Tour this year?

The decision to hold another DRAGON BALL FighterZ World Tour this year was influenced by several factors. First, the recent releases of the game on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Second, the energy and passion displayed by players during last year’s Battle Hour event demonstrated the game’s vibrant community. Third, the robust online player base continues to thrive, making the World Tour a platform for dedicated fighters to prove their skills. Finally, we want this World Tour to be the pinnacle of all World Tours for DBFZ, uniting top players and celebrating the game’s competitive scene.

• Was the rollback netcode implementation another reason for having this tour?

Of course, this is also an important reason as it was an awaited feature. To take advantage  of this feature, we are happy to have online leaderboards in this year’s World Tour, giving more chances to more players aiming to enter the World Tour.

• Can you tell us more about this hybrid online and offline format?

As mentioned, the rollback implementation allows us to add online leaderboards to the format on top of the traditional offline Power, Power+, and Tenkaichi events. The online leaderboards will be regional and will give access to a ticket for the LCQ. We have done our best to select a maximum number of countries putting into account the number of users online. In any case, anyone from any country can organize their own Tenkaichi event to gain points in the WW offline events ranking.

• What can we expect from now on?

I believe the team and I achieved what we wanted for this game, with the PS5, XBOX SERIES X|S version release and the rollback update with the help from the studio behind the PS5, XBOX SERIES X|S version. I have one more good news for our players - Arc System Works and I are working on a new balance patch to come this summer after EVO to spice the competition up a bit more!

• One last word?

Allow me to thank one more time all the players, the community, the tournament organizers, everyone who helped in putting together the World Tour since 2018, including the wonderful casters Damascus and Tyrant !

I wish everyone a great competition this year again!

DRAGON BALL FIGHTERZ is available on PlayStation 4 , Playstation 5 , Xbox One ,  Xbox Series X|S , Nintendo Switch and PC.

Chris brown scoffs at being 'blackballed' during sold-out tour opener, chris brown me, 'blackballed' celebrates sold-out tour opener.

Chris Brown fans packed the house for his "11:11" tour opener in Detroit this week ... validating the R&B star's longtime claims that it's only the music industry that's against him.

Breezy took a moment to address the sold-out crowd inside the Little Caesar's Arena on Wednesday night -- with him musing ... "For a n**** they say is blackballed, this don't look blackballed to me!!!"

The show didn't spare any theatrics either -- a Michael Jackson voiceover opened the main event right before CB soared over the crowd on wires. It was certainly high production value.

What a first show! Here’s Chris Brown’s full setlist for his “11:11 Tour” divided into 4 elements: 1. 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 2. 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 3. 𝐀𝐢𝐫 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 4. 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 pic.twitter.com/tTtVclqRRN — BreezyRelated (@breezyrelated) June 6, 2024 @breezyrelated

His supporters were more than pleased with the extensive setlist divided into 4 parts that mixed the classics with the new jams . BTW, not only were the people in the building impressed -- but folks online also praised CB for being an outstanding showman/performer.

He even also brought back a rotating platform, which was pretty popular on a previous tour. Again ... the dude definitely entertained those who were in attendance, and it looks like anyone else who'll hit his tour as it rolls along will be in for the same experience.

Chris' cancelation has been an ongoing conversation since his 2009 assault on Rihanna ... most recently haunting him during this year's NBA All-Star Weekend with a rift with Ruffles.

When it comes to music fans though ... it seems he's the people's champ.
