  • Ranking the seven craziest girls in fighting games, and Juri only barely makes the list





    None







    The fighting game atmosphere is a special place in which we have the potential to explore some of the more taboo parts of personality, and while we could probably spend all day detailing out exactly why the following is true, it’s an interesting fact that the archetype of the crazy girl is especially prominent here.






    As such, FGC content creator Rooflemonger has based his latest video around ranking the seven most psycho ladies across our preferred genre of gaming. Some may come more immediately to mind than others, but you’re likely in for a surprise if you haven’t thoroughly explored certain franchises.









    Pound for pound, the most prominent fighting game character with an obvious psychotic bent is Street Fighter’s Juri. The sadistic spider, as one of her nicknames categorizes her, thrives off the pain and suffering of others thanks to a tragic backstory that develops her as a kind of corrupted version of Chun-Li.


    This is all well and good, but as Rooflemonger explains in the video, Juri is one of the tamer characters when it comes to the crazy. In fact, even her recently-created Street Fighter counterpart, A.K.I., has a personality and backstory that makes it easy to argue she’s got more issues than Juri.


    As bad as some of the things A.K.I. and Juri have done, they do exist in the Street Fighter universe, which is relatively tamer than that of other fighting game franchises. Cannibalism, for example, has yet to be directly implied in Street Fighter (you might make a case for Necalli, but his story is so underbaked it may only exist as metaphor at this point, but it matter of fact exists in the worlds of both Mortal Kombat and King of Fighters.


    The character who takes the crown as queen crazy for Rooflemonger is more obscure than most of the others on the list, but surely earns her title. Instead of giving us an established character with a troubled backstory, developers of this fighter decided to show us her descent into madness over time, and even through players’ own decisions.


    We’ll let Rooflemonger do the rest of the talking from here, but let us know if you think any characters should have appeared in this video that did not, and whether or not you agree with the ordered picks in the comments below.

  • The ‘core’ of what Virtua Fighter has always been is also what held it back from returning for so long, says the new game’s producer





    None







    Virtua Fighter is finally coming back with a brand new entry in the long-running fighting game franchise after a staggering 18 years since the last mainline title in the series dropped.






    Sega executive Masayoshi Yokoyama and new Virtua Fighter project producer Riichirou Yamada recently sat down with Famitsu to discuss the upcoming project, and thanks to the efforts of our very own Nicholas “MajinTenshinhan” Taylor, we are able to learn more about what was said via an English translation. One of the most interesting pieces of information revealed during this interview is that, apparently, the core of what makes Virtua Fighter, well, Virtua Fighter, is also what held the game back from returning all these years.









    At one point in the interview, Yamada and Yokoyama provide some insight into how the project came to be. When thinking about a potential new Virtua Fighter project and how to go about making it, Yokoyama noted that the first person that came to mind when thinking of who could be the planner for it was Yamada.


    Yamada was no longer with Sega at the time, but was brought back on to specifically work on this new Virtua Fighter title. Reviving the franchise for the modern day was certainly not going to be an easy feat, so in order to prepare Yamada started digging deep into interviews and articles featuring the father of Virtua Fighter, Yu Suzuki, in hopes of finding the “core” of what Virtua Fighter is.


    Yamada found that core he was looking for, and when asked what that core was, he had this to say.


    “I’m someone who saw the movement of the Virtua Fighter series when it first released first-hand, so by looking at my own feelings from back then coupled with my research into past titles, the result I arrived at was that what the series had always protected as its core was ‘stay innovative’. And because we had stayed tied by these words, we’d been struggling to release a new numbered title in the series for so long,” Yamada explained.



    Virtua Fighter was built on innovation, but in a modern landscape where the internet connects the world together more than it’s ever been connected in our life time, technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and there are major fighting game franchises that continue to implement all of the latest trends and patterns into their games, it wasn’t so easy for Virtua Fighter to simply come back and break the mold.


    “It’s easy to say ‘stay innovative’, but actually innovating is difficult,” Yamada continued. “It was probably simpler back when you could say ‘this is a brand new cabinet and you can only play it here!’ in the arcades.


    “Having a new circuit board itself was already ‘a part of the future’, and back then we even had the famous movie director Stephen Spielberg see Virtua Fighter 3 and say ‘these graphics and this cross-simulation is incredible!’ as praise for it. So ever since the difference in specs between arcade machines and home consoles disappeared, it’s become more difficult,” Yamada said.


    Yamada continues on to explain that on top of innovation being at Virtua Fighter’s core, one of the other things that made the franchise what it is is the focus on “reality.”



    “If it was just difficult that’d be one thing, but I think for the new Virtua Fighter to be innovative is a very important point of value. Also, as Yokoyama mentioned earlier, I think the keyword of ‘reality’ is also very important.


    “There are various ways of interpreting ‘reality’, but back when the first Virtua Fighter came out into the world it was a continuation of the era of Kung-Fu movies being popular. Because Kung-Fu and realistic movement became the core of Virtua Fighter, it was a game that didn’t feature projectiles and things like that,” Yamada explained.


    “[…]The characters’ appearances as well were aimed at being realistic and stylish via the limited techniques we had available at the time. So for the new Virtua Fighter, we wanted the basis of the game to be ‘stay innovative’ and ‘stay realistic’, these two are the core of the game.


    “Of course for the gameplay itself, the tension of judging your distance and properly spacing when to go in close or the battle of minds when reading your opponent is different than other titles too, but just at a base concept level we wanted to deeply think about this as the core,” Yamada concluded.


    Make sure to check out our previous installment of this interview translation where Yamada and Yokoyama discuss how the new Virtua Fighter aims to compete with the likes of Street Fighter and Tekken.

  • TCNick3 and Poppt1 face off in a crew battle featuring some of the wildest modded characters for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate





    None







    Even though Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has a whopping 86 challengers, there are still countless characters that fans would want to see represented in the Super Smash Bros. series. As such, it’s become a somewhat common practice for particularly talented individuals to actually mod the characters that they want to see into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate through hacking.






    Over the years, we’ve seen a number of crazy creations emerge from the modding community, but it’s not entirely clear which custom fighter is the strongest. To discover the answer to this, TCNick3 and Poppt1 recently decided to have a crew battle that features 16 of these custom monstrosities.









    TCNick3’s team consists of Knuckles, Shadow, Kamek, Waluigi, Masked Man, Vegito, Zeraora, and “George.” Poppt1 gets assigned Krystal, Decidueye, Sans, Sandbag, Funky Kong, Alucard, Blazikien, and Gengar.


    For the most part, these players don’t really have much experience with these modded characters. To remedy this, they’re both provided with 15 minutes to go over everything their characters can do in the training room before the crew battle begins.


    Some characters were able to showcase some fun surprises. For example, Poppt1 was initially very disappointed to randomly get Decidueye, but would later declare Decidueye to be his “favorite Pokémon” after getting some nice wins with the fighter.


    This ends up being one of the craziest battles that we’ve seen for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, mostly because neither player is truly aware of what these custom creations are actually capable of before the fight begins. Needless to say, it ends up being a series that comes down to the wire.

  • This is still one of the craziest Street Fighter 5 clips ever recorded





    None







    If you had a sudden resurgence of interest in Street Fighter 5 on your 2024 bingo card, then you likely just won. At the time of writing this, players are reminiscing about Street Fighter 6’s predecessor and sharing their favorite clips from back in those days.






    As a result, one of the craziest Street Fighter 5 clips that has ever been recorded has resurfaced, and we’re highlighting it here again while the game enjoys another brief moment in the spotlight. If you don’t know about Broski’s Oro in Street Fighter 5, you’re about to learn.









    So what is even going on right now and why is Street Fighter 5 being talked about again? Well, this all seemed to stem from a Christmas tournament ran by Tachikawa that generated a surprising amount of interest both in entrants and in viewers.


    Couple that with the frustrations some players are feeling with Street Fighter 6 currently and you have the makings of this new burst of Street Fighter 5 attention.


    A clip from popular content creator/pro player Broski was shared by the great HiFight on Twitter and even here in 2024 it still remains one of the most insane plays to ever happen in Street Fighter 5.


    The footage originally came from one of Broski’s live streams from back in the day where he was engaged in an online match playing his trademark Oro in Street Fighter 5. Broski became popular in part due to his incredible execution and abilities with Oro, stringing together some amazing combos using his Tengu Stone V-Trigger.


    During the match with a Ken player, Broski ends up cornering the opponent and baits a wake up throw with neutral jump, which results in him landing a big jump in. From here, he springs right into a hard-hitting Tengu Stone combo, and what follows is an incredibly calculated, intricate, and very difficult sequence to pull off.


    Not only does Broski use several high level combo techniques for Oro here, including corner fireball loops, but he implements a microwalk and also perfectly calculates when the stun will happen.


    After the stun, Broski’s Oro ends up on the other side of Ken and he uses his V-Skill orb to keep the crazy combo going with perfectly spaced attacks that allow the orb to stagger its hits and keep things rolling.


    He closes the whole thing out with a few juggles into his Critical Art, and despite landing what several people called a “Desk” combo in an actual online match with total ease, Broski remains unfazed.


    All he says at the end of it, without any expression or excitement on his face or in his voice is, “cool combo…”

  • Patch notes for Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. update





    None







    Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. (called “Ultimate Showdown” on PlayStation 4 and in arcades) is an upcoming evolution of Virtua Fighter 5 for PC players as Sega brings the franchise’s latest and greatest to Steam.






    In addition to rollback netcode and graphical improvements, all characters are getting more than a few balance changes. We’ve got all the juicy patch notes waiting for you below.









    Normal P changed to move forward

    Inputting forward and pressing P produced a jab that moved forward, or “advancing jab.” Now, this forward P will come out even without a forward input.

    Improvements to Weight

    A character’s weight has an influence on how high they float in air combos, which has a strong impact on balance. We revisited the mechanic as a whole in order to narrow the gap between characters.

    Aoi, Eileen, and Blaze have had their weight increased, making them slightly more difficult to combo in the air. Wolf and Jeffry have had their weight class slightly decreased from before, making them easier to combo. Akira, Jacky, and Jean have had their weight slightly decreased, consolidating them under the midweight class.

    • There are 5 weight classes in total: Super heavyweight, heavyweight, midweight, lightweight, and super lightweight.

    – Super heavyweight: Taka-Arashi

    – Heavyweight: Wolf, Jeffry

    – Midweight: Akira, Lau, Jacky, Kage, Lei-Fei, Brad, Goh, Jean

    – Lightweight: Sarah, Shun, Pai, Lion, Vanessa

    – Super lightweight: Aoi, Eileen, Blaze

    • The following characters were changed:

    – Became lighter: Wolf, Jeffry, Akira, Jacky, Jean

    – Became heavier: Aoi, Eileen, Blaze

    Some recovery windows changed to counter recovery windows

    During certain actions, getting attacked would result in a normal hit, which made these into very low-risk options. In order to add more risk, the following actions will be changed so that getting attacked during the recovery will result in a counter hit.

    • All sabaki moves

    – Akira’s Tsūtenhō, (4P+K+G), Jean’s Harai’uke (4P+K+G), etc.

    • All transitions from strike attacks to stances

    – Jacky’s Beat Spin Kick into Slide Shuffle (P+KK4), Lei-Fei’s Chūtenhō into Kyo Shiki (3PP+K+G), etc.

    • All cancels

    – All characters’ K-cancels, such as Aoi’s Sundome, etc.

    Change to Back Dash Counter Hit

    The opponent can no longer recover from a Back Dash Counter Hit from a Side Kick during their back dash.

    Change to Taka-Arashi’s hit state

    As a super heavyweight, Taka-Arashi’s knockdown state was unique. The following changes were introduced to reduce the advantage against him in this state.

    • The quick recovery window was adjusted such that late ukemi is no longer possible. This should make it easier for the opponent to perform ukemizeme compared to before.

    • Extended the time until hitting the ground after a stomach crumple, and changed to allow moves that bound to hit.

    • Expanded hurtbox while knocked down.

    Fix to hurtbox based on hit count during a bound combo

    When hitting the opponent with a combo starter while they are quick recovering, fixed an issue where attacks would no longer land beyond 6 hits.

    Fix to Special High Attack hitboxes

    During guard recovery while guarding certain low attacks, such as Lau’s 2K+G, fixed an issue where Special High Attacks would not hit.

  • The biggest issue with each of Tekken 8’s controversial DLC characters





    None







    Tekken 8 has had its wins here in its first year, but Bandai Namco have also spent the last 11 months putting out seemingly constant fires. All that Heat has come from various places, but the game’s first season of DLC has proven to be a fount of controversy (when are they not?).






    Now that we know all four characters in Tekken 8’s premier season, YouTuber Boogard is taking a look back at Eddy, Lidia, Heihachi, and Clive to highlight why fans had issues with each. Are they all mistakes? Surely not, but developers could definitely be more strategic in their approach to season 2.









    Given its recency, the biggest controversy in Tekken 8 right now is the release of DLC character number 4: Final Fantasy XVI protagonist Clive Rosfield.


    While Clive does represent the latest from Final Fantasy and has emerged as Tekken’s flashiest character to date, as Boogard puts it, he also has haters thanks to his wielding both a sword and magic, as well as being a decent bit down the list of fan favorite Final Fantasy characters.


    While Clive may have the most controversy surrounding him (for reasons mentioned and others) things have been turbulent in this department since even before Tekken 8’s launch. Eddy Gordo, the game’s first DLC character, was announced before the base game had even dropped, instantly hitting fans the wrong way.


    As a mainstay since Tekken 3, Eddy is an example of a character fans might expect to be on a base roster and therefore not come with an additional price tag. On top of this, the fact that he was being developed alongside the base game only adds to fuel to this particular flame.


    Tekken 8 has experienced issues beyond just DLC characters, which definitely darkened the skies and made for less than happy audiences when these DLC characters were revealed and released. Tune into Boogard’s full video below to hear why all he feels each character carried controversy (Heihachi is admittedly least controversial of the bunch) and let us know what you think in the comments afterwards.

  • The insane journey of completing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with 100%





    None







    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is an absolutely massive game. In total, there are 86 characters, 1,528 spirits, 615 spaces in World of Light, and so much more to do in the game.






    TCNick3 recently decided to finally 100% complete Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (aside from notifications, which nobody cares about anyhow). This means getting every character into Elite Smash, unlocking all the spirits, beating every stage in World of Light, achieving a 9.9 difficulty with every character in Classic Mode, beating All-Star mode with every fighter, and getting all 124 achievements.









    Rather than starting all over, TCNick3 opted to just collect everything starting from where he was on his game file. Fortunately for him, he already has every character unlocked and in Elite Smash.


    Still, this doesn’t necessarily mean he’s in for an easy time. It turns out that achieving the 9.9 difficulty with every character proved to be quite the arduous experience.


    Ultimately, some characters ended up having easier times than others thanks to how the levels are set up. Generally speaking, the 1v1 fights were pretty easy but there were times where the player is expected to beat three or more opponents either alone or with a weak CPU ally.


    Funnily enough, TCNick3 ended up creating a tier list that showcases how easy or difficult it was to get the 9.9 rating for each challenger. Those at the top are said to have an extremely easy time while those near the bottom seemingly drove TCNick3 insane.


    Overall, TCNick3 has spent over 3,000 hours playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate after he went about completing everything. Check it all out below:

  • Street Fighter 3 Third Strike’s shocked character sprites are still so beautifully expressive even today





    None







    Street Fighter 3: Third Strike was originally released on May 12, 1999, and here in 2024 it remains one of the most beloved and highly renowned fighting games to ever exist. Part of what makes Third Strike so special and gives it some of its staying power are the visuals, which feature carefully crafted 2D sprites that, when you really pay attention to them, exude tons of expression and personality.






    Goh_Billy is an avid curator of sprites from past fighting games, often highlighting the subtle things we seldom see or really pay attention to, and recently we saw Billy share an image featuring a set of sprites from Street Fighter 3: Third Strike that still just look fantastic today. Let’s take a look at Third Strike’s character sprites when a fighter gets shocked by an electricity-based attack.









    Now, if you’re familiar with the Street Fighter franchise, then you’ve probably seen the special sprites that appear when a character gets hit with flames or electricity. These unique models stretch as far back as the Street Fighter 2 series, and you’ve seen them most when Dhalsim lands one of his fireballs or Blanka hits electric thunder.


    The same idea rolled over to Third Strike, and every character has their own sprite that comes into play whenever they’re shocked.


    When it comes to Street Fighter shock sprites, they usually work as follows. A fighter will get hit with an electrical attack causing their body to flash, and during these alternating flashes we see a silhouetted outline of their body and their skeleton prominently on display.


    Looking at all of Third Strike’s together in one image, we get to look more closely at some of the little traits that were used to really differentiate between characters and better identify them.


    Hugo’s is pretty obvious as he’s the largest character in the game and we see his long hair sticking up and out in all directions, while Akuma still stands in a ready pose despite taking the surge head on.


    Even more interesting is that mysterious characters like Q and Twelve can be seen not having visible skeletons, which is clearly meant to keep some of their secrets closer to the vest.


    When it comes to a beautiful game like Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, sometimes it’s nice to just slow things down and really appreciate some of the tremendous work that went into the 2D sprites and animation. You can do a little of that by checking out the shock sprites from Goh_Billy below.

  • Justin Wong gets visit from ghost of Moment 37 while playing Third Strike on Christmas





    None







    The thing about being a world class Street Fighter player with insane moments recorded on grand stages? Your biggest losses can haunt you like spirits for the rest of your days, something that Justin Wong was reminded of this Christmas.






    While streaming some holiday Third Strike, the legendary player found himself in an oh-too familiar position as Chun-Li, with a super stocked and his opponent’s health low enough to chip out. Despite conditions being perfect for another rendition of Evo Moment 37, the most famous competitive sequence in all of fighting games, Justin decided to rifle off Chun’s super, and instantly regretted doing so.









    Moment 37 is so famous in the fighting game community that it was included as one of the trials when Street Fighter 3: Third Strike Online Edition was released back in 2011. For those who aren’t familiar or need a quick refresher, Evo Moment 37 took place back at Evo 2004 during the semi-finals of Third Strike.


    With only a pixel of health left, BST|Daigo Umehara successfully parried Justin Wong’s instant super (meaning Umehara had to guess the moment Wong would start his attack) which required 15 consecutive parries, all of which had to be done with pristine timing.


    Daigo showed further mastery and preemptive practice for this particular situation by showcasing a perfect punish sequence that required him to jump and parry the super’s final hit in midair. Daigo pulled this all off while in the midst of an in person, end stage tournament setting, thus solidifying his legacy as “The Beast” thereafter.


    People have pulled off the Moment 37 many times over the last 20 years, and it seems that Justin is a fan of giving people chances to do it against him whenever the situation naturally presents itself. Back in 2020, we actually covered an instance where a player named Kokujinsbrother almost performed it against Wong and gave him a near heart attack.


    Here in 2024, Wong faced off against Kokujinsbrother in yet another Third Strike set. The situation did indeed present itself, and Wong did indeed go for it. A panicking Justin repeatedly shouts “it’s Christmas, IT’S CHRISTMAS” as more and more of Chun-Li’s 15 kicks are parried.


    See how it all played out in the full clip below:

  • Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite & Beyond mod has reached 50,000 downloads in its first week of release





    None







    A massive fan-made mod for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite was recently released, and from the sounds of things, it’s doing quite well for itself.






    Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite & Beyond is a new mod spearheaded by Maximilian Dood that overhauls the original game’s graphics, adds balance changes, new modes, and more, and it just saw its official 1.0 release just last week. The team behind the PC mod have since provided an update to fans to let them know that the support has been very strong so far.









    According to both Max and the official MvCIB Twitter account, Beyond has already reached 50,000 downloads in just its first week of release. Maximilian shared a message to fans thanking everyone for the support.


    “Huge thanks to anyone who checked out @MVCI_Beyond,” Max began. “As Director, all I really wanted was for people to find fun in MVCI, the same way me and select others did before.


    “Couldn’t be happier & extremely proud of the team that made this all possible,” Max concluded.





    Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite & Beyond is a completely free mod that players can download right now. It is only available for the Steam version of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, and directions on how to get it and install it yourself can be found on the official MvCIB website.


    This impressive mod has been doing the rounds within the fighting game community, and so far, it seems like it’s been very well received.


    On top of the vibrant new comic book-style visuals, Beyond also made changes to various characters and even the game’s final boss, Ultron Omega.


    In fact, the mod’s version of this boss has been called one of the hardest fighting game bosses in history by its development team, and it has even birthed a challenge where players are being prompted to take on the fused villain on the hardest difficulty using one of Beyond’s new modes that sees the player controlling both of their characters on screen at the same time.


    If you’ve checked out Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite & Beyond, be sure to sound off in the comments below with what you think about it so far. If you haven’t, be sure to head over to the website for more details.
