Happy Birthday! Street Fighter Turns 25 Today

by

Thursday, August 30, 2012 at 2:30PM

Today marks the day that Street Fighter turns 25 as it came into this world on August 30th, 1987. Holy crap, I was only 5 years old at the time and most of you reading this site probably weren't even born yet! Like many others, my first interaction with Street Fighter was with SFII at a local grocery store in my area where I was barely tall enough at the time to reach the controls.

What was your first interaction with Street Fighter that you can remember?

SF x TK: SF 25th Anniversary Tournament Series Asia Qualifier Top 4 Replays

by

haunts |

Thursday, August 30, 2012 at 12:47PM | in

While I know many of you are not fans of this game, I have to say Street Fighter x Tekken has gotten more and more interesting as time goes on. Players are not only figuring out new techniques, but also exploring the new DLC characters which can make for some very exciting matches. The SF 25th NYC qualifier was a good example of this and the latest from the Asia qualifier were great as well with GamerBee showing off some new Jack-X technology.

While there are still some timeouts here and there, if you missed these matches live be sure to check them out as its a great display of high level SF x TK. Check out all the new replays from Taipei after the jump!

The Phantomnaut |

Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 2:54PM | in

For the upcoming Penny Arcade Expo Prime at Seattle, Wash., there will be an indie game showcase for multiple platforms. One of the games in the selection is an existing PC indie fighter called Yatagarasu being made for the Nintendo DS.

Referred to as Yata in the list, the fighter is developed by Circle Edge. The small team features artist Styleos, known for his character creations K' and Maxima introduced in The King of Fighters' NESTS saga ('99, 2000, 2001). The team also features designer Umezono who is known for his Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike and recent Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 play. For those unfamiliar, the existing PC version of Yatagarasu features unlockable commentators KSK, Tokido and Kokujin, notable for their 3rd Strike play as well.

Publisher Nicalis, those who brought Cave Story to Nintendo WiiWare, will be bringing this game to the 3DS eShop. If you have plans to attend PAX Prime, make sure to check out this fighter! If you want to find out more about Yatagarasu and even try out the game yourself, go check out the Shoryuken thread!

Review: Hori Real Arcade Pro V3-SA and VX-SA Kai Series

by

The Phantomnaut |

Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 2:12PM | in

Hori has been in a roll with their arcade sticks this year. One of their major releases was the Fighting Edge line. A luxury-style stick while not being too expensive but still looking sleek and playable with Hori's own and well made arcade parts. Months after its release, Hori took the chance to give their other sticks, specifically the current Real Arcade Pro generation, that similar treatment for those who can't afford the Fighting Edge. The result is a mix of the old and new in the Real Arcade Pro V3-SA and VX-SA models. Is the bang enough for the buck?
