It wasn't out in arcades when I was in Japan in late June, but I played it for a while at the French Bread offices with the staff, hohoho~

EDIT: dammit, stop with these top posts

Geez, that's ridiculous.
I don't even understand how a tournament that big could be fucking up this badly.

I approve of the addition of another shirtless dude punching shit and androgynous Akira Ishida.

Hey, if Tsubaki's evil now, can she actually get damage?

BBCP is the best abbreviation since BBCSEX.

Funnier is that they went out of their way to hint heavily that Kokonoe, Jubei and Nine would be the next fighters in and then boom, three more fighters never even mentioned in the story mode show up. Oh Mori, you so crazay.

Noel is still the worst fighting game character ever.

Edit: Apparently Bullet has a 720 > 720 > 1080 motion super.

Reports that Mike Z's dick has exploded go unconfirmed.

Did someone already mention that The Rumble Fish 2 is being released on NESiCA Live and Dimps confirmed they are now continuing development on the series?

レバー2回転 = spin lever twice. Or, 720.

"Bullet" in Japanese is written as "baretto". See also: GunBulllet, Bullet Witch.

whooooooOOOOOOAAAAAaaaa: http://virtuafighter.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/338155/VF5FS%20patch%20coming%20this%20week!

VF5FS getting patched to let you skip the 30 second timer in online matches, among some bug fixes. I never actually expected them to do anything about it! What was that about it being necessary to synchronize players?

She said it was terrifying and it was her literal 15 minutes of fame, signing autographs and taking photos and shit

Says it was Anime Expo

I'm not sure what to be suprised more at. That Netherrealm managed to make Catwoman a lot more interesting as a fighting game character or that they didn't make her horribly fetishy like their normal female character designs.

Catwoman's design is impressively restrained, but I'm somewhat miffed because it comes SO CLOSE to being really great but there are a few details I really don't like. First off the black/brown colour combination is not particularly pleasing to the eye, but I'm mostly kinda bothered by the corset thing she's wearing, and her exposed biceps look really strange too. I'm not totally in love with the armor/claw things on her arms and legs, but I don't really mind them either. Still, all things considered I like this design a hell of a lot more than her designs in MKDC or Arkham City.

[Lasakon]

I actually really like Heihachi, Kunimitsu and Jaycee's special guest artist alt costumes.
Is this the first time they've had a foreign artist do a costume?

[Persona]

Man, they should just get Oh Great to design all their characters.

The Tekken team's rendition of it in 3D is awful though. Alisa looks pretty bad too. It seems like the Tekken Bishoujo costumes might be in there also!

[Persona]

Alisa is the worst robot girl ever. Her alt design is pretty sweet though but they wouldn't be able to adapt that without changing her a lot.

I wonder if the same modelers work on Tekken as Soul Calibur. Feels like Soul Calibur did a lot better interpreting their guest designs into 3d than Tekken.

I think these designs are kind of a mixed bag. I don't hate any of them but they're not really blowing me away either (though I guess that's not much different from T5). I do agree though that even the coolest looking ones look decidedly less impressive in-game.

I would love for these designs to not be completely excluded from the customization aspect but I'm not holding my breath. :/

[Schwere Viper]

I am genuinely amazed that Bamco are managing to make Tekken actually look interesting.

For some reason, Mortal Kombat 9 is getting a loketest in Japanese arcades.

In tag-team mode, at that.

It seems somewhat presumptuous to use "arcades" in plural, since everything about this sounds wonky as all hell and it seems more likely than anything else that this whole thing is an effort on the side of this one particular arcade. But what do I know.


I read YSK's tweets about it, pretty hilarious. Highlights include:

"It's a single machine, with a 1P control panel"
"No DLC characters. The unlockable ones aren't there either"
"When I did a fatality, I got a trophy lol"
"Everything is in English, of course. Seems like it's just the console version stuck in a cab"
"After I beat the game, I got stuck at this screen and couldn't do anything"
"I asked the manager 'Is this the PS3 version?', and he said 'yes'. The hardware looked nothing like a PS3 though, is it an arcade board running the PS3 game or something? Will this really be released nationwide? Is it even official? My head hurts..."

[BotageL]

Oh, okay, that makes a lot more sense if it's a rigged-up console box.

They probably just built a cabinet and it's the PS3 version running w/some modifications, but not enough.

I am not going to lie. I am actually kind of hype for Injustice.

Bunch of new news you can use

GGXX AC+ *whew* will launch on PSN/XBL in late October

Netherrealm looking into downloading DLC characters into your cache every time needed instead of using a compatibility pack

why the goggles on Catwoman. they do nothing!

What's wrong with Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman?



Nothing, that's what. But let's reinvent the wheel and make it edgier, because that's what's gonna make it better.

[Jigsaw]

So Injustice will get hotfixes... exactly like MK9? I hope they don't fuck it up again this time so Xbox players need to be connected to XBL to play the latest version.

I'm also unsure of what that stuff about DLC characters means. Surely downloading that sort of stuff on the fly will use a lot of bandwidth (at WB's expense - hell, I don't think they'd even be allowed to do that)? Or does he simply mean that they'll do it the same way everyone else does with multiplayer DLC, put the stuff in a patch that everyone gets and then charge people to actually use it?

Either way, the DLC (and online in general) in MK9 was kind of a clusterfuck so I definitely welcome any improvements for Injustice. I also hope they won't spend the first couple of months making huge, poorly advertised kneejerk changes to large portions of the cast on a biweekly basis like they did with MK9. The numerous patches (eventually) made MK9 a better game, but a lot of people were very annoyed at having to relearn their character/combos/strats so frequently in the early days of the game.

[Drem]

The bad thing about the Guilty Gear release is that it's coming out as GGXXAC+ and will be patched to the new 'R' version "sometime" in the future. I guess they want to keep from eating into arcade sales.

Lots and lots of DOA5 footage at the IGN Pro League YouTube channel. It has pre-release matches as well as footage from the tournament from a few nights ago, which can be watched in its entirety here. I believe it has footage of every announced character, including Eliot and Brad. Speaking of characters, Team Ninja has confirmed there are more characters in the game who may or may not be announced since some of them will be revealed in the story mode. I guess this means unlockable characters. Most interestingly, it was also revealed that the training mode can also be played online. So now you can train with people across the world! Pretty cool feature.

[another god]

The bad thing about the Guilty Gear release is that we have P4Arena and all it makes me want is P5Arena with more characters.. and P5.

I bought Tekken Hybrid for a tenner @ the Best Buy sale recently.
It really has me excited for TTT2. The Demo was a lot of fun.
