Let’s talk about some of the cooler features that separates Marvel vs Capcom 3 from it’s predecessors. One feature that I wanted was some checks and balances on infinites. Something that gave diminishing results for continuously pounding someone with combos and assists to prevent infinite loop exploits by the usual suspects. Well my request was met… kind-of. Not saying that an infinite is impossible in Marvel... 

As gamers sometimes it seems as if we are one big dysfunctional family, constantly scrutinized by outsiders, judged, lied about and blamed for the crimes that the grade school “cool kids” grow up to commit. Still we keep on keeping on and the games continue to get better, the term “gamer” becomes more of the “in thing” for popular culture and our subculture grows beyond the stigma of fat, bearded, grown men... 

GDragon: So the new costumes came out on ssf4 real quiet-like. I’m about to sell the game, I never play it, improved engine, prolly the best fighting game ever but I still liked SF4 better. I played 4 a lot better than super, not sure why. For all of its imbalances I could compete, it’s gone too nerdy for me… Batman333: You played it because it was new, the only thing 4 did was reunite old school players again. Even the... 

Tekken marks yet another movie in an extremely long line of badly portrayed video game adaptations. You would think that with all the blaring examples of what not to do when making a video game movie, these newer titles would get it right. Tekken annoyed me, from the ugly character actors, to the cheesy Tekken City and the choice of characters to lead the story. I hate to keep bringing up Mortal Kombat as a positive example, but... 

Capcom’s X-Men vs Street Fighter is the title that started all of the crossover madness that 2D Fighting game lovers like myself cherish. While it had its share of flaws, I recalled the early days of the arcades when infinite loops weren’t discovered, Wolverine was king and variety was the spice of life. Nothing beats the raw arcades when a title is new and everyone is playing it. 3GK and company has spent hundreds of dollars... 

Fighting games say nothing more than testosterone driven,  trash-talking, button mashing, all male action… err let’s just say guys like to play them!  But what do girls think? In the modern days of gaming it would seem so taboo that a female would actually take the time to understand why guys love these games so much. From Street Fighter to Mortal Kombat, Soul Calibur to Tekken, the only feminine action guys see is on the... 

Isn’t it about time the creators of our beloved game Street Fighter try their hand at an action RPG? For years now they have pieced a crap storyline together about the origins of the fighters and their ultimate end goal, and for what? A bunch of disjointed, mostly fan-created tales of why 30+ unique individuals decided to take each other on. For all of its flaws, stiff gameplay and hokey characters, I applaud Mortal Kombat for... 

If you’re one of the newcomers to the Street Fighter Universe or the fighting game genre in general, I can imagine how foreign the terms, attitude and playstyles are to you. Worst yet, you hear the hype of Street Fighter, purchase it and hop online for some fun only to have some jackass perfect you with Dan while laughing over his Bluetooth headset. Well in the past I provided a guide on training for fighting games but this was... 

Okay the big day in fighting game history has arrived! After its first inception, Street Fighter 4 left room for skepticism amongst fans of the genre after its initial announcement. Fighters blogged, tweeted, and posted their feelings on what to expect from the fighting game “giant”. Many of us were concerned with the art direction, the fact that it was 3 Dimensional, and quite frankly many thought this game would fail. But... 

A recent topic arose on whether or not we should interview a local Street Fighter 4 champ in order to clue potential readers in on a few things that would make them better in competition. While Batman333 thought it would be a good idea to discuss timing, execution etc. with a tournament caliber Street Fighter player, Greg Dragon thought differently based on the trend of the internet and negative experiences he had with new-school...
