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...
Mortal Kombat 11 is coming out next week, so it's only fitting NetherRealm Studios host a closed beta session to work out the network coding before launch. Of course, you'll have to pre-order the game to get an invite. The official Twitter page just announced the dates and time. So if you're living in Malaysia, Singapore, or any GMT+8 area, Kombat...
Thanks to a leak on Reddit, we now know the full roster of Mortal Kombat 11, secret kharacters included. Since it's possibly the full roster, I'll put this pic in case you want to be surprised. Kharacters who aren't revealed yet include Cassie Cage, Kabal, Kung Lao, Erron (the Masters of the Universe cowboy guy), Liu Kang, Frost, Jacqui Briggs, ...
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...
The biggest fighting game tournament in the world just announced its lineup today. Here it is: Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition Dragon Ball FighterZ Super Smash Bros Ultimate Tekken 7 Blazblue Cross Tag Battle Under Night: In-Birth SoulCalibur 6 Mortal Kombat 11 Samurai Shodown While the 7 other games are expected and are getting some ...
Unlike Tekken 7 and SoulCalibur 6, this year's outsiders and away team players were no match for Japan's top Street Fighter 5 players. The top 8 was filled with 6 Japanese players, 1 US player (Punk), and 1 Taiwanese player (OilKing). Fans and players hoping for a turnaround from the US and Taiwanese representative during the top 8 were sorely disa...
One would assume the South Korean or Japanese players would at least be the finalists in Evo Japan 2019's major Tekken 7 tournament. Pakistan's Arslan_Ash and The Philippines' AK ended up proving doubters and non-believers wrong with their display of technical know-how. First up, we have Arslan_Ash fighting tooth and claw with Kazumi out of loser'...
We sent Mr Toffee down to Japan for a few days during the mega-arcade event JAEPO and the International Challenge Cup 2019. During the latter, teams from Japan fought teams from Asia in different games over the course of 2 days. Mr Toffee managed to talk to the Street Fighter V participants about, well, Street Fighter V and fighting game esports s...
Update: Gameplay stream is done. All relevant updates will be pushed to the top of this article. I've just seen the gameplay of Mortal Kombat 11 and it's glorious! True, it's a rezzed-up version of Mortal Kombat X, but there are some new mechanics and new tidbits revealed during the NetherRealms event and livestream just a few hours ago. Let'...
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...
Koei Tecmo should be excited; its staple fighting game Dead Or Alive 6 will be out next month, 15th February. The company recently tweeted a cryptic post concerning a possible beta session for the game. Here's the full message: "We hope all the recent videos have gotten you hungry for some DOA action. Perhaps the time has come to give our fighters...
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 ...
This story is still in development... A new season draws new. Street Fighter 5's Season 4 patch is up and live on PlayStation 4. Also, we're getting a new fighter named Kage who looks like Evil Ryu with devil horns and can "fly" (or at least has flight-like/airdashes/jumping shenanigans). Points for originality, Capcom. https://www.facebook.com...
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...
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...
This is a big one for fighting game fans and Mortal Kombat aficianados. A QA tester leaked information (via 4chan & ResetEra) concerning the upcoming Mortal Kombat XI, which is probably going to be announced at the Video Game Awards 2018. Here are the details. Watch out for possible spoilers: The game's development took 4 years, even go...
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...
Top image credit: TeoGonzalezColors The fighting game genre has seen a huge resurgence for the past 10 years. Before it became the juggernaut in Esports today, let's not forget how underground the scene was when Street Fighter 3: Third Strike ruled the FGC roost. We should be thankful that the period between 2008 to now has been kind to us. We're...
It's still Soulcalibur week, and the game is but a day away from release (or out now if you're in Japan). Check out our review of the game if you haven't: it kicks ton of butt! We here at Kakuchopurei appreciate the non-competitive aspects of fighting games; specifically the cosplay bit in this instance. To celebrate Soulcalibur 6's return to form...
When you bring up 3D weapon-based fighting games, the SoulCalibur series can't be beaten. From its remarkably fast-paced gameplay to its baritone-laden announcer, it's a franchise worth following if you so much have an inkling of love for good fighting games. However, the tale of souls & swords that is eternally retold has its fans that can't ...
