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 ...
Southeast Asian's fighting game scene takes a step towards the mainstream with the recent South East Asia Major 2018 fighting game tournament.

Arika recently posted about the fate of its sole fighting game of 2018, Fighting EX Layer. While it's fun, the price tag at launch is too high to warrant a purchase. Luckily, Arika released an arcade mode and two extra characters for free. So what is going on with FEXL? And will Arika still release the PC version? We'll break the news down, Kak...
Panda Global announced recently that Seonwoo "Infiltration" Lee will not be fighting at this weekend's Capcom Pro Tour Premier event at Tokyo Game Show 2018. Why? Because there's an investigation going on about him beating his then-wife physically. Allegations of it, at least. They divorced a few months after their 2017 marriage. Here's the offic...

We really have no words for this. SNK revealed one more new character in their casual-savvy tag-team fighting game SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy. And it's a gender-swapped version of Terry Bogard, arguably SNK's most recognizable mascot next to Iori, Marco, and Haohmaru. The trailer below shows off his moves, ranging from his Buster Wolf to his Pow...

It looks like Arika's future for Fighting EX Layer is all set. According to the latest update from the company, FEXL will be releasing two new characters for free: Pullum Purna and Vulcano Ross. Pullum Purna is Indian Cammy. Sorta. She is a rushdown character back in her Street Fighter EX and she'll most likely play the same if most of Fighting ...
This story is still in development. Veterans of Street Fighter III: Third Strike should be familiar with a few names: Daigo, Tokido, RX, and Kuroda.

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 control feels, and to pull off a t...
