Persona has uploaded a new King of Fighters XIII combo video featuring Ryo Sakazaki. According to the vid's description, the purpose of this combo video is to showcase what the character is capable of and it does so with the flair and quality we've come to expect from Persona's work.
Maximilian talks EVO in this episode of UMvC3: The Online Warrior and his lead topic is an interesting one. He shares his thoughts on infinites in the game and the possible impact it can have on the game in the competitive tourney scene. He also discusses Marvel's top moments and players from EVO as well as details from Capcom's EVO panel. And all the while you get to watch some of his online ranked match replays. Also. His idea of a proper Capcom All-Stars game intriguing. What do you think?
Capcom has announced that the 12 new DLC characters for Street Fighter X Tekken which were originally planned to be released later this year (around the time of the Vita version hitting shelves) will be released for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions on July 31st. The date was moved forward so that the release would coincide with a balance patch that will also arrive on that day.
In case you forgot, the characters are Blanka, Cody, Dudley, Elena, Guy and Sakura from Capcom and Bryan Fury, Jack, Alisa, Lars, Lei and Christie from Tekken. The price is still the previously announced 1600MSP/$20.00. If you planned on buying the game on both PS3 and PS Vita you can get a really good deal. If you buy the PS Vita version on October 2nd (which includes all DLC characters) you can also download them for free for the PS3 version.
Here are a few of the changes you can expect on the balance patch. These were revealed at a panel during EVO 2012:
The good news: the Playstation Vita version of Street Fighter X Tekken will be a monster of a deal compared to its console counterparts when it is released later this year. The bad news: we have a while to wait before it releases.

Desk never ceases to amaze! Here is a combo video for Street Fighter X Tekken featuring Cross Assault combos requiring two players, but he's doing them himself with a joystick in each hand! He even shows picture in picture views of his right and left hands as he performs the combo, and it's freaky how easy he makes this LOOK. It looks so effortless to him. The highest rated comment for this vid on youtube hit the nail on the head. Check this out. Vid from Machinima.

RyuApprentice has put together a very nice combo guide for Cody from Super Street Fighter 4: AE 2012. It was designed for beginner to intermediate level players of the character and provides very useful information such as link data information, damage and stun, and some basics about the overall usefulness of some of his normals. The presentation makes it very easy to practice combos and get an idea of how his combos work. Thanks to SRK for pointing this out.
Diety Devil and The Main Man have uploaded a massive community collaboration combo video for Tekken 6. The video's description says it's a kind of farewell to the game, and what a send-off! This is a truly global undertaking featuring 8 players from around the world and containing 68 combos, all of which feature Mishimas. My hat's off to everybody involved and I'm looking forward to part 2!
Unfortunately, many players out there don't get to experience one of the best aspects of fighting games. It's getting together with a group of friends around the same screen to just battle it out, whether this is at an organized event or in someone's living room.
Maximilian is back with another episode of Capcom vs SNK 2: The Garage Warrior, where they do just that. This game is also hella fun to watch.

Cross Counter Asia's Zhi and Xian are back with another episode of Excellent Asian Adventures, where they troll Ranked Match in Super SF4: AE for our amusement. But this time it looks like they are the ones getting trolled. Beware of jackho556699, apparently. Oh, and if this episode is meant to be an ad for the Madcatz V.S. Fightstick it didn't work out too well!

Maximilian has uploaded another episode of Third Strike: Online Warrior, and for the entire episode he's rocking Q! It's over 20 minutes of Third Strike ranked match goodness, so enjoy.
For Persona 4 Arena, Machinima interviews Aram Jabbari, PR and Sales Manager. Topics include how did they come up with the idea to take Persona, an RPG, and make it into a fighting game? Do they feel like it will hit EVO-level in the FGC? What gameplay mechanics make Persona 4 Arena unique? What's really nice is that the game will use the Arc System Works BlazBlue online code, so you know it will be good!
You know what to expect here. This video, put together by Albelcru and uploaded by jourdal, features a bunch of pretty sick looking combos featuring Fillia from Skullgirls. You may want to turn down the volume a bit when you start it because the music track that accompanies the video is pretty loud but it's another great showcase of Skullgirls combo madness.
Maximilian is back with another action-packed episode of Soul Calibur V: The Online Warrior. As always this episode is great fun to watch. Not only is Soul Calibur V entertaining to watch on its own, but seeing Maximilian and his struggles and triumphs against these players is fun as well. The first battle against the Maxi player was pretty tense! It's another great episode and be sure to check it out.
This King of Fighters XIII combo vid, put together by Combonauts, is really good. It has slick presentation, appropriate music and some really sick combos. What more is there to say? Check it out!
This episode of Soul Calibur V: The Online Warrior was fun to watch. Maximilian runs into some opponents who gave him a real challenge and also encountered a ragequitter. It's too bad that with fighting games hitting the popularity level that some games still suffer with this issue, especially one as great as SCV. Is ragequitting still a widespread issue among all fighting games or does it happen more frequently in some games than others?
Anyway, this is another great episode so check it out if you are a fan of SCV.

I really wish I was good at 3rd Strike because just watching this game is a thrill to me. It's so deep and so beautiful looking (shout out if you can appreciate a good sprite!). Anyway, Maximilian has uploaded episode 9 of his 3rd Strike: The Online Warrior series, where viewers get to watch him play and commentate online ranked matches. If you want to see more of this series, Maximilian asks that you leave a comment on the video, so support your game 3rd Strike fans! Check out the video below.
I don't think that many will argue that the tournament scene, and how big that audience is getting thanks to social media and live streaming, has a tremendous impact on the success of a modern fighting game. So it's little surprise when NetherRealm Studios, the developer behind the recently announced 3D fighting game Injustice: Gods Among Us, publicly states that the game is being developed with features aimed at EVO. NRS' Ed Boon has said so in a recent preview with Kotaku. In addition, Ed says that there tournament players that are on the development team as well.
Mortal Kombat, despite having some problems early on with online play and DLC costumes, turned out amazingly well and these kinds of statements bode well for this new game. Check out the quote below or head to Kotaku for their preview.
This episode of SFxT The Online Warrior is a good one. The most interesting topic discussed is the current community health of the game and its future prospects. If you haven't been keeping up lately, Maximilian gives a rundown of some of the recent developments that have impacted the game (Rolento bug), future fix and balance patches, and so forth. He also touches on what he expects/hopes from Capcom for the near term, including upcoming DLC packs (man they are going CRAZY with DLC with this game). All the while you watch some great SFxT online ranked match action. It's good stuff as always.
Myke from VFDC has published a nice pre-launch party interview with Patrick Riley, Director of International Product Development at Sega. Over 30 community-submitted questions were answered. Some of the highlights include elaboration on the game's replay saving to the cloud, features of the XBLA Demo, as well as other features that they would have liked to include but couldn't due to time or budget. Below you'll find a sample, but head here for the full interview! Image courtesy of Level|Up.
