FAIL

This is just a sad, sad fail.  I hope the person with the tattoo isn’t proud of his geeky Shoryuken tattoo that he took a picture of it. *PSSST* Hey! Guy! FYI. The command for Shoryuken is Forward, Down, Down-Forward + P. That command isn’t even a Haduken.  It does nothing. Sorry you have to live with that the rest of your life.  Maybe you can ask Capcom to change the command in the game in the upcoming Super Street Fighter 4.

Deejay enters the ring with T. Hawk and Juri in this new fighter introduction video from Capcom.  With 3 of the 8 new fighters in Super Street Fighter 4 unveiled who else do you think will be entering the ring?

Boxing isn’t what it used to be. And after the much publicized Hatton vs. Pacquiao fight ended in disappointment a few weeks ago after a second round knockout by Pacquiao, maybe its time to spruce things up a bit. Suggestion? Have Capcom take over boxing.

Have a question you’d like to ask? Ask away. All submissions will remain anonymous.

Dear Jamie,

Sincerely,
KO

The countdown is over! Here’s the trailer!

I’m so glad this is being remixed into Xbox360 and PS3.  Even though people wanted and expected Marvel VS Capcom 3, we can’t say that we aren’t happy with the nostalgic MvC2.  The trailer says that the game will be online for download this Summer and an exact date is not announed yet.  I’m guessing around E3 time since it’s a little over 1 month away. But for now, Capcom, I will now accept that ride you are offering.

At 7 PM EST/01:00 AM CET, one of our friend blogs Lo3 podcast will be on the air live with national Street Fighter 4 champion, Justin Wong, and SF4 tournament organizer Ryan “Gootecks” Gutierrez.

“We will talk with Wong and Gutierrez about this past weekend’s event, Wong’s road to the US title, his match with Daigo, and thoughts on the international competition in general. We’ll go over the inagural Bar Fights event, and preview this weekend’s WCG tournament in NYC and if we should expect any upsets. We’ll cover all aspects of Street Fighter 4 itself, including balancing issues, character choices, different playstyles around the country, the upcoming Championship Edition update to be released, and Capcom’s stance on competitive gaming.”

If this still plays in your head during dreams of Marvel VS Capcom 2 at the local arcade, then you’ll be happy about this countdown clock at http://www.tu4ar.com/ . What is that for you might ask? Maybe an announcement for a MvC2 remake? How would we know? Go past the break to find out more.
