The online tournament featured 70 players from all across Southeast Asia, including a guy named Aronmanurung who trashed me

I remember a time when fightings game were a dime a dozen. The 90s was indeed a joyful time to be alive if you're into fighting, 3D, 2D, and any sort of mashup for that. Before esports came in and ruined fighting games -still subjective depending on which end you're at- people played fighting games for fun, floaty cont

From lead protagonist to vigilante and convict, Cody Travers is one of the last to consider a political role, let alone the Mayor's Office for Metro City. However, that is the role he is in right now in his official debut to the Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition roster. Interestingly, the hot seat of Metro City is no

Last weekend's Combo Breaker fighting game tournament in the US was filled with so many eye-popping fighting game moments. It's not even EVO 2018 yet and we're witnessing many godlike plays left and right. Here are our top picks and highlights. Street Fighter V Despite our main video highlight subjects ending up in se

Remember Singapore’s Cybersports and Online Gaming Association, the folks who botched up the Lion City Cup tournament last year?

The two biggest fighting game organizers & tournament bodies from Singapore and Malaysia (arguably by default) are joining forces for a fight many regional fans will never forget. Singaporean FGC godfathers-slash-organizers BeastApac will team up with their Malaysian counterparts Flash Vision for a Flash Vision x

Update: It's missing just one. The SNK Neo Geo Mini presentation on 9 June listed Twinkle Star Sprites as one of its titles. Windjammers is still missing though.  We at Kakuchopurei are stoked for the Neo Geo Mini. SNK is doing good by jumping onto the tiny retro console bandwagon since it had a huge backlog of

Good news, retro enthusiasts. Sega is back in the console-making market, sort of. The Japanese branch announced its upcoming Sega Megadrive Mini, which is basically a tiny emulator system that plays old Sega games stored inside in its original resolution. https://twitter.com/SEGA_OFFICIAL/status/984972055777918976 Cl

As if having Ryu in Monster Hunter: World isn't enough, we now have his number 1 fangirl Sakura joining the mix. On May 4, Monster Hunters will get a chance to acquire the Sakura special armour (if you call a schoolgirl uniform armour) by fulfilling a bunch of 7-star quests.

Last weekend was quite a doozy for fighting game fans since it was a Final Round 2018 tournament extravaganza from March 16 to 18 (US time). Basically, it's a big-ass fighting game tournament taking place in Atlanta, Georgia of the USA, and highlights the start of the Capcom Pro Tour for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edi

On the flip side of the Metal Gear Survive kerfuffle, another Japanese game franchise is doing incredibly well, especially in the overseas market. We're referring to Monster Hunter: World, which is Capcom's not-so-subtle way of starting 2018 with a big bang and making us forget about their other crap like the recent Ma

Street Fighter's most annoying troll character is back. That's right; Blanka (or Jimmy) will be back this February 20 with mash-centric Electric attacks and Blanka Rolls/Rainbow Rolls aplenty in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. Check him out in action on this new Capcom trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9Knp

The biggest game convention in Southeast Asia (apart from ESGS and Thai Game Show) is back again for another year. Yep, GameStart 2018 is made official and will happen on October 13 and 14 in Singapore, with a theme on "fantasy".
