Gonna need a good feel before I say for certain.

Thinking Innocent Buu, Frieza, and Nappa -or- Android 18, Ultimate Gohan, and Ginyu. Depends on how things play though tbh.

Street Fighter 5 servers now down for maintenance to implement New Holiday and Nostalgia costumes (UPDATE: The servers are back up)

Here's the second DLC pack for Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite. The characters are Winter Soldier, Black Widow, and Venom. The characters will be available on December 5.

Venom looks cool but his voice doesn't fit him. Black Widow and Winter Soldier look decent.

Remenber when the list of DLC characters was revealed? Remenber when people thought that it was gonna be Black Widow from the Slam Master series? Not gonna lie, I would have preferred Capcom's Black Widow over Marvel's Black Widow. Why? 'Cuz it would be the first time a Slam Masters character appeared in a Capcom crossover (Mike Haggar's moveset in MVC3 and Infinite is based on his Final Fight appearences rather than Slam Masters), it would be the first time in more than 20 years that the Slam Masters characters were featured in another videogame, and the roster wouldn't be uneven in Marvel's favor. Instead, the roster would be balanced. On top of that, Capcom's Black Widow is a cool character with a cool costume and abilities. She deserves more exposure and to be fleshed out. Not saying that Marvel's Black Widow is boring or anything, mind you.

I mean, think about it. The Slam Masters characters are not featured in Marvel vs. Capcom, SNK vs. Capcom, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Projext X Zone, ect. They got nothing! What's up with that?

"Why are people complaining that the roster is uneven on Marvel's favor? Remenber Norimaro from Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter?" - Not sure if this is bait or not. But in case you're serious, Norimaro is a character that represents neither Marvel nor Capcom. He's an original guest character based off real life comedian Noritake Kinashi.

Fun fact: according to her stats in the English release of Slam Masters II, Black Widow is the tallest woman in the SF universe at 198 cm (6'6"), being taller than Elena who is 183 cm (6'0"). However, according to the orginal Japanese release she's even taller than that at 205cm (6'9")! (Start watching at 36:44)


Another video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXKZ79lYvPo (start watching at 2:31)

Her being shorter in the English release is most likely a conversion error from metric system to imperial system. Every other release of the game keeps the measurements in metric.

EDIT: For those who don't know or don't remenber, Slam Masters is the first game in the SF timeline. It's a prequel to both the Final Fight and Street Fighter series. The fact that Capcom USA fucked it up by making it a sequel to Final Fight is a diffferent matter.

Here's the release trailer for Geese Howard's (Fatal Fury) guest appearence in TEKKEN 7.

EDIT: Man, I can't believe they actually added Geese's AOF 2/Neo Wave costume in the game! Hopefully SNK will do the same with the KOFXIV version of the character.

Kid Boo's official Dragon Ball FighterZ gameplay trailer was released.

While we are at it, let me remind you that Kid Boo is not the most dangerous version of Majin Boo because he is the most powerful (that title actually belongs to Spoiler:Super Boo w/Gohan absorbed (aka "Boohan").

Kid Boo is the most dangerous version of Majin Boo simply because he is the most vicious/unpredictable version of the charater.

Simple as.

[Psychospacecow]

We're doubly screwed in that regard as this Boo has some memory going on with the Super Boo moves.

Not gonna lie Jockey. If both of our internet connections weren't collective dogshit, I'd be looking forward to challenging you to some FighterZ this January. :D

I'm so excited!

Got I spent so much time in the BETA. So good. Cannot wait!

New details regarding Street Fighter 5 Arcade Edition's main single player mode have been revealed

• Over 200 endings in Arcade Mode spanning all 6 numbered entries.
  
• SFV arcade mode introducing completely new stuff.
  
• Zeku and Abigail are SF1 characters (likely with their own SF1 endings).
  
• Laura is an SF3 character (likely representing Sean but would guess she has her own ending). Kolin is also an SF3 character rep.
  
• Arcade mode has music (new) from all the old games.
  
• When available, characters you fight against will use costumes that most closely resemble their appearance during that era.
  
• You can choose between 2 different opponents as you playthrough arcade mode for any of the games (like in SF3), each giving you different rewards based on their difficulty (one hard and one easy).
  

These are the arcade mode rosters that you can choose from and fight in each mode:

1. SF1: Ryu, Ken, Zeku, Abigail, Birdie and Balrog (Likely missing Sagat) - 4 Fights
   
2. SF2: Ryu, Ken, Chun li, Guile, Zangief, Dhalsim, Balrog, Vega and Bison (Likely missing Sagat) - 8 Fights
   
3. Alpha: Ryu, Ken, Chun li, Nash, Karin, Birdie, Mika, Guile, Zangief, Dhalsim, Balrog, Vega and Bison (Likely missing Sagat and Sakura) - 10 fights
   
4. SF3: Ryu, Ken, Chun li, Alex, Laura, Kolin and Urien - 6 fights
   
5. SF4: N/A - 8 fights
   
6. SF5: N/A (But likely all characters) - 11 fights

Here's what it says before each Arcade Mode path

I love how they added a "Story Chronological Order:" on each section. They're really caring about the canon now and it'll make moving forward easier.

Adult Gohan's official Dragon Ball FighterZ gameplay trailer was released.


Arika teased a new character for Fighting EX Layer.

Looks like Blair Dame.

Awesome to hear! Which characters are gonna be on your main team?

[Psychospacecow]

That's such a hard question to answer without getting my hands on the game first. When I got into skullgirls, I thought it'd be peacock, Eliza, and Ms. Fortune. I ended up with Cerebella, Eliza, and Beowulf.

I was talking to BumblebeeCody...

Besides, I already asked you that same question.

Happy 20th anniversary, The Last Blade!

One of the many flaws of these systems is how people like me can't read a room we're arguably not in unfortunately :D

[Colossus]

Nah, it's not a flaw of the system. It's a matter of paying attention.
