Meet Obi-Wan Kenobi, an average Jedi with an above average brain. Obi-Wan defeated a Sith Lord prior to becoming a Master… When Obi-Wan fought against Anakin Skywalker, an overpowered crybaby who was given every tool possible to be great in life, Obi-Wan flawlessly destroyed him and forced him to live with a respirator for life. Do you know why? Obi-Wan used his brains and skill instead of dwelling on his limitations! For... 

I came up in life loving, training and fighting in tournaments (martial arts) then wrestling and playing Football in High School at a decent level. One thing that the physical aspects of competition taught me was that winning feels great but the true beauty is in the experience itself. I love martial arts, so much so that if you dropped me on that island in Enter The Dragon I would be happier than a pig in… wait let me get... 

If you’re in the closet about your Brony love then I need you to go ahead and gallop out right now! Throw your hooves up, show us the tattoo on your ass and let’s rep My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in full effect. For those of you who have no clue what I am going on about, just browse the YouTube archives and check out an episode or 2… Dem ponies are for everybody – just keep away from my Rainbow Dash... 

The Marvel vs Capcom series (after the original) doesn’t seem as if it belongs in the same genre as a Street Fighter game or even a Mortal Kombat one. Speaking from a strictly aesthetic perspective here, the reason I say this is because to the audience member that isn’t a player of the series it looks no different than a shooter. Think about it, you walk up to the cabinet in an arcade and you look over the crowd’s shoulder... 

While followers of SNK’s King of Fighter’s series may disagree with me on this, for 3GK The King of Fighters 97 was the apex of perfection for this series. Having played the games since my arcade face-offs with Gal Fighter© Team Europe (reppin dat Mai) in KoF ’94, I have always found the games to be one part silly story (omg Rugal’s throwing a partay let’s fight!) and another part Fatal Fury styled combat. Coming off... 

My fellow Street Fighters, it is with great misfortune that I alert you on the arrival of Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition and the accompanying Yun and Evil Ryu clone army. These clones will be on your respective XBLA, PC and PSN spaces ready to dive kick and demon stomp spam you into submission to earn their crown as king of all clones. SSF4AE is available as DLC for $15 on PSN (about 1,200 MSN points) + 700 MB download but... 

I gotta admit, I was a little salty when Mortal Kombat 9 came out – afterall I had just bought Marvel vs Capcom 3 and had not even begun to get good at it when MK9 launched. However I am a huge Mortal Kombat 2 mark, having played in numerous tournaments and spending late nights in college wearing dudes out with my cheesy “skills”. The new game had similarities and that impressed me but having suffered from “fighting... 

“Woodshedding” is a term that 3GK uses often to describe the act of grinding out a fighting game character until mastery. Being that we are all heavily into music, the term was copied from Jazz Musicians who coined the term from the old days when they would go into a woodshed, close the door and practice so as not to irritate their families (see Charlie Parker). So whenever a new game comes out I would say “hey... 

If we had the answer to this question then the top fighters would be more than just a handful. What I CAN tell you is what makes a bad fighting game player and it is from observance and experience with fighting games for over 20 years (I’m old) that has given me this opinion. In the arcade there was always 2-3 badasses and a whole host of wannabes. The badasses always won and if they lost it was quickly forgotten because it... 

Prepare to step back into the arena where “the meek shall inherit the earth” and the Outworld warriors seek revenge. Yes I am showing my age and yes I used to have the MK3 t-shirt with that quote followed by one of the Kombat Kodes. This marks the 20th year of this game’s existence and the 9th entry to the series. I will cut this intro short and flat out say it this game rocks! And for you PS3 owners you get to play as @!#%$’ing...
