Dragon Ball Fighter Z is currently the reigning champ of anime-based fighting games but it's about to get some tough competition -- and not just from the highly-anticipated release of Jump Force next year. My Hero Academia, one of the biggest hits in the anime universe right now, is getting its own fighter as well. My Hero: One's Justice is slated to drop later this year and, based on the demo that I just played at E3, is going to be a (Detroit) smash hit.
My Hero Academia follows the exploits of Izuku Midoriya, a quirk-less kid growing up in a world of superheroes, who strives to inherit All Might's mantle and become the number one hero in the land. In One's Justice, players will select three-member teams from a stable of more than a dozen characters including heroes Izuku, Katsuki Bakugo, Ochaco Uraraka, and All Might himself -- as well as a number of villains like Dabi, Stain, and Himiko Toga -- and do battle in 12 different iconic levels.
The combat is fast and furious with fully destructable levels. However, unlike DBFZ you won't have to defeat all three opponents, nor will you actually play as all three of your selected characters. Instead your second and third picks will serve as sidekicks, jumping in for quick hits and support but not available for direct control. This adds a unique strategic twist. For example, during my demo, I used All Might as my main and Ochaco as a sidekick. With her anti-gravity ability, I was able to temporarily float my opponent (in this case, Stain) off the ground and then employ All Might's brute strength to send him flying headfirst into the side of a mountain. What's more, as Stain was stuck to the wall like a dart in cork board, All Might literally ran up the side of the mountain to continue pummelling the hapless swordsman.
The in-game graphics rival that of the anime. Each character comes outfitted in their classic hero outfits, the levels are bright, and the special move animations are crisp. The controls are quick, intuitive and responsive, which makes fighting in the 3D arenas a treat. Unlike DBFZ, where you simply jet back and forth along a set 2D stage, One's Justice enables you to circle your opponent and attack from all angles. As such you'll need to quickly become adept at dodging and blocking if you wish to survive.
The game is expected to hit the Xbox One, PS4, and Switch this October.

After six summers of researching, testing, and recommending window air conditioners, we've learned that quiet and affordable ACs make most people the happiest—and we think the LG LW8016ER will fit the bill in most rooms. This 8,000 Btu unit cools as efficiently and effectively as any model with an equal Btu rating, and runs at a lower volume and deeper pitch than others at this price. Little extra features like a fresh-air vent, two-axis fan blades, and a removable drain plug help set it apart, too. The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic...
It's official. Sprint is definitely giving away free unlimited LTE data through 2018 to those who use laptops packing Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor. We first learned of this last month , and the announcement today clarifies which devices qualify. If you own or buy the HP Envy X2 , ASUS NovaGo or Lenovo Miix 630 , you'll be able to get free unlimited data if you sign up for AutoPay with the carrier. This won't cover devices using the new Snapdragon 850 chipset , although that's not available in an actual computer yet, and we'll possibly hear more later this year. Always-available data connectivity is perhaps the biggest selling point of Windows on Snapdragon devices, which promise gigabit LTE speeds wherever you are. While it would be nice to see other carriers offer similar deals, just to have an alternative option, this offer makes these...
ASUS may well have pulled out of the Android smartwatch market after its ZenWatch 3 , but it's actually not quite done yet with wearables. At Computex, the company made a little surprise by unveiling the VivoWatch BP, which is a follow-up to the original low-power VivoWatch from three years ago. We're looking at a handful of new features and improvements here, with the main highlight being the built-in blood pressure monitor -- a rare feature in the smartwatch category. The only other recent direct competitor is the Omron HeartGuide , which is also due to lau nch later this year. The VivoWatch BP won't be winning praises for its appearance. While the previously monochromatic high-reflective display has now gained some colors, it's also gained a much thicker bezel to accommodate extra sensors on the front. The screen is positioned i...
