So what games will be available? A few of them will be familiar to long-time fans, although there are a couple of noteworthy new entries.

Surprisingly enough, there are some favorites that are missing, like Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite and Killer Instinct, although the new entrants, Dragon Ball FighterZ and BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle – which releases next month – are decent fill-ins.

Here’s the full rundown of games that will be included in the tournament:

• Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
• Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition
• BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle
• Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2

Needless to say, things are going to get very interesting with Dragon Ball battles, since the game is easily one of the most fun to watch, along with playing.
