Between sound-deafening cheers as players mounted their comeback and the persistent clicking of buttons on an arcade stick, FV x SEA Major 2019 demonstrated some great levels of hype from some of the most avid fighting game fans in Malaysia. Taking place over last weekend from 23 - 24 March at Lightbox, we got to see fighting game players gather a...
Fighting game ladies; perhaps one of video games’ most divided contribution to the medium since microtransactions. On one hand, they’re cool and confident females capable of kicking ass with the best of them. On the other, their dress sense leaves a lot to be desired. It’s hard to take them seriously most of the time if th...
As Kakuchopurei's official SNK nut, it is imperative that I share these couple of tidbits to you retro/arcade fans out there. There are currently four official SNK shops in Tokyo that is chock-filled with themed food, drinks, and merchandise. The first shop is called NeoGeo Land and it's located at the Akihabara Container in, well, Akihabara. It'l...
When you think fighting game rosters, you think awesome and spectacular character designs that stand out like Ryu, Chun-Li, Jedah, Morrigan, Iori Yagami, Ivy Valentine(?), and more. Unfortunately, you don't see the same kind of honour bestowed upon the Mortal Kombat franchise. True, we get the most iconic characters in the form of a yellow and a b...
Justin Wong is synonymous to fighting games. When he's not taking fools down easily in the Marvel Vs. titles while unintentionally inspiring others to "never give up", he's busy getting that Street Fighter V money and acclaim, placing at least top 8 in major tournaments with his fancy-ass Menat play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtpBFc33whw ht...
Fighting game tier lists are a dime a dozen; truth be told are just references and guidelines, not the bible truth. However, they can be a great asset for those wanting to win by using the best characters with the best fundamentals and tools for dominating the game. Case in point: this recent SoulCalibur 6 tier list from Singapore's top players Jo...
Hell has frozen over; SNK and ADK's shmup cute-em-up fighting game-esque creation Twinkle Star Sprites had an esports moment. Sort of. During the Neo Geo World Tour Season 2 tournament at Super MAGFest last weekend in the US, the SNK reps decided to host a fan favourite title alongside the usual suspects like Garou: Mark of the Wolves, The King of...
Call it a takeover of sorts, but it's more or less the logical progression of things. Tekken producer and head honcho Katsuhiro "Harada-san" Harada is now the leader and supervisor of the Bandai Namco Fighting Game eSports Strategy Team as of now, according to Bandai Namco themselves. The official post stated that the company plans to expand the h...
So much for new guest characters in the Soulcalibur 6 Season Pass. Turns out that some scrupulous data miners dug up some insightful news in the game's Version 1.10 patch which heralded the coming of NieR Automata's 2B. They found the names "Cassandra" and "Amy" with "DLC2" and "DLC3" labels next to them. For those not familiar with Soulcalibur 6 ...
A few days ago, Capcom announced the "sponsored content" option starting 11 December where players can obtain additional Fight Money (the currency you use to buy characters and stuff) in Ranked and Casual Matches. Sponsored content/ads will be on fighter's costumes, on the loading screen before a fight, and on stages like the Ring of Power. Oh, and...
Another year, another legitimate reason to watch pros attempt to like and struggle to enjoy their time with Street Fighter V. Forgive me for being a cynical old goat, but you start to wonder if this Street Fighter, as a game mind you, will still stand the test of time if the ginormous prize pool, marketing, and tournament backing it are taken out o...
A few hours ago, SNK just hosted their IPO conference in Seoul, South Korea. And they have quite a bit to share regarding their financial status and future games (via gatoray_kof & ruliweb). We are going to get a King of Fighters XV. Unfortunately, it'll be out in 2020, and for good reason... That's because SNK wants to prioritize their n...
Street Fighter V's eventual fourth season is coming. But did you know that there's allegedly going to be another huge 2019 update called Super Street Fighter V? So much for innovative naming schemes, eh Capcom? In any case, prominent leaker X-Kira (via Eventhubs) did the usual datamining and found out that the update is slated for December 2019. H...
There are rumours abound involving Capcom changing up last year's fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, clearly a fan favourite for FGC folks everywhere since last year, and rebrand it as Marvel vs Capcom 4. Let's be a tad fair: MvCI had some good points overshadowed by some major flaws, namely its aesthetics, roster, and half-assed single-p...
