While a mid-December release was announced [...]

Maj, I miss you. While there are plenty of awesome combo videos out there, the field always seems just a little bit emptier without the tool-assisted magic that you pull off in such a way that makes us all feel like giddy children in front of a candy store. And yes, of course, we understand [...]

Look, the logistics of running a small tournament are hard enough, let alone running one that takes place worldwide with people who have abilities far beyond those of normal human beings. It takes a lot of organization, time management, and cooperation. Thank goodness the people at Robot Chicken understand the difficulty it takes with producing [...]

Fighting games are a constantly evolving platform whose tendencies to progress we seem to collectively ignore. Tier lists are constantly changing due to metagame and new discoveries (was it not less than a year ago that Dee Jay was promoted to near top tier status in ST?) which keep the games fresh and hotly debated year [...]

I’ve always had a fascination with hearing people from the golden age of arcades talk about growing up next to the low buzz of CRT monitors and coin-op rivalries. Penny Arcade recently posted this excellent editorial about our good old pal, Seth Killian– and aside from giving us a great sense of what help makes the [...]

Endlesscomboz put together this neat combo exhibition featuring quite a few of the new DLC characters recently released for Street Fighter x Tekken. They’re all very meter heavy, but look stylish enough while showing off some of the unique properties for certain characters during corner juggles. Highlights: 1:04 Dudley/Asuka Pandora Combo 2:08 Guy/Dudley Cross Assault [...]

The folks over at VGBootcamp have put together this interesting new intro for Breakdown, a series based on analyzing the finer points of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

Every time a new fighting game comes out, Max always has us covered with a patented “dive in first and see what happens” style of learning. Persona 4 Arena hit stateside today, and this video goes over the basics of the game, while at the same time trying to explore what makes it all tick. [...]

There’s an explosion of pure enthusiasm permeating on Twitter right now, and its not difficult to see why. After countless attempts and obstacles, America finally has a Super Battle Opera title under its belt thanks to EG|Justin Wong.

“The Great American Hope” BT|Dieminion has written up a pretty insightful blog about his thoughts leading into SBO 2012. Paired with Latif and PR Rog, Dieminion has an incredibly strong team– but he’s not resting on his laurels just yet. USA has not had a great showing at Tougeki in previous years. Perhaps it could [...]

The replays for the first qualifier of the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Tournament series have surfaced online, courtesy of iPlaywinner.

Raw tagging in any game is always a huge gamble. It’s a dangerous way to get a lot of damage thrown your way– and yet the punishes for a raw tag in Street Fighter x Tekken always seem to be on the lighter side for many players. There’s a lot more hurt you can put [...]
