Is the game on hiatus? Or flat out abandoned? Haven’t had any updates since June, nearly half a year ago. I thought a major Big Bang Update was supposed to be implemented months ago.

Welcome to the registration of the 6th Kenpachi tournament!

Do you have what it takes to become the next Kenpachi and hold the title of KENPACHI? Join this tournament and prove yourself worthy, this tournament will consist of 3/5 sets, where you will fight an opponent in private battles with war rules whoever wins the first 3 out of 5 battles advances to the next round. You will have 4 days to play each set. If you can't make that work, please don't sign up.

The current holder of the The Kenpachi title is Esdeath/Bubblechews. Whoever wins this tournament will win the Kenpachi title and take it from him.

Rules:
- Account Sharing is Strictly forbidden
- All matches will be 3/5
- No full teams (no having 3 stunners, affliction, heal, counter, AoE, drain, team invulnerability, or cost increase in 1 team)...
- In case someone uses a banned character, combination, or full team, screenshot the match for proof (timestamp required). The winner of the match is then able to determine if they take the win or give rematch.
- No repeating characters (for example; You can only use Renji once per set).
- No copying teams (2 out of 3 characters of your opponents team. If they use Ichigo + Rukia, you cannot use them in the same team)
- If the game bugs, please DM me here or reach out to Sloth or Blackerjago on Discord. Be sure to fully explain what happened so we can determine whether a rematch will be granted.
- If you leave in the middle of a set, you have 24 hours left to come back.
- No screenshot = no proof.
- If your opponent used a banned character you still have 24 hours after the set to claim the win, if your opponent until then starts their next match, you're not allowed to claim it anymore and it's your fault for not noticing. (get good kid)
- Forfeiting without having played will ban you from ALL future events

I am trying to complete a mission that requires me to win 4 battles in a row against ryoka and I have been noticing that the streak ends when I surrender/lose to teams who have no ryoka. its is extremely frustrating because I hate the character I ave to use and I was at 3/4 and I was facing yumichika, jiroubou, and choe neng, I beat this person and the streak did noting (I know these aren't ryoka) but when I surrendered the streak went to zero.....

Hello everyone! This game brings back so much joy and memories, I'm glad to be back and hopefully remain active. Leaving this post for others to see and hopefully someone enjoys this as much as Id o.

Is this site going down? in last year there is so low updates, new characters nowhere, where is restart? 
Does anyone have any answer?

I used White's Self-Destruct when there was just White and a Pre-Ascension Aizen left. I simultaneously got a game won and game lost sound and screen. Not even sure how the xp was distributed for that game. You can see in the photo that I got both a loss and a win 3 seconds apart   Ended a 20 game win streak  https://ibb.co/1f7TbNm8

Team?

Banner made by Chans


Each participant will DM me 3 teams before the tournament starts, you cannot use the same character in more than one team so for example if you use Rukia in your team 1 you cannot use Rukia in any of your other 2 teams, and you are only allowed to use these 3 teams for the duration of the entire tournament.


- You must screenshot at the start of every single game of every set you play and in the screenshot every character on your team and the opponents team must be clearly visible, the winner of the set must DM me the screenshots to get it verified and be able to advance to the next round of the tournament, failure to provide all screenshots will result in disqualification and your opponent will take the win for the set instead.
- If you win your set take a screenshot of your private battle history and post it on the tournament thread.
- As soon as each round starts the sets are to be played immediately if you dodge or poorly communicate with your opponent you may be disqualified.
- All matches will be best 2/3.
- This will be a single elimination tournament.
- No banned characters or combos, you can build your 3 teams using any character in the game.
- Full teams are allowed.
- You cannot repeat your teams in a set.
- If you use any team other than one of the 3 you registered in the tournament with you will be disqualified. And if your opponent also did the same and used a team they did not register with it will result in both being disqualified.
- If you disconnect, your game bugs, or is impaired for any other reason, then your opponent wins, unless you both consent to a rematch.
- If your opponent leaves in the middle of the set they will take the loss for the set.

Balance 2.30 - A Red Wedding

Hey everyone, it’s me, Sloth (or maybe it isn’t… who knows?).

This is the final small balance update before we shift our full attention to our backend SA project. Stay tuned for future updates!


Nerfs:

  

Edrad Liones - 
"Flame Spiritual Punch" now deals 25 affliction damage, down 5, from 30.
"Volcanic Eruption" now grants 10 destructible defense and deals 15 affliction damage.

• Destructible Defense down 5, from 15. Affliction damage down 5, from 20.

Quote:Some would argue that this guy was indeed one of the strongest affliction users, always finding his way into a meta centered around full affliction. We believe it’s best to knock his numbers down for the meantime (finally).

Quote:Love is still in that weird spot where any positive reinforcement in his kit could be overkill, so were taking the approach of slowing him down without any number changes.

Quote:Technically, we can call this a tweak as well, but it still leans more toward the nerf side. Once again, we're trying the approach of slowing things down without touching any numbers. As always, we will continue to monitor!

Quote:Self explanatory.

Quote:This is intended to provide additional team support and then some 

Quote:Xyrrus says wakey wakey! These changes give this character better traction and help implement a potential rei battery in-game for more teams.
