Super Smash Bros. Becomes Nintendo’s Ninth Highest Selling 3DS Title in North America
Nintendo announced today that Super Smash Bros. for 3DS has sold 1.2 million units in North America to date, making it the platform’s tenth title to surpass that monumental number and ninth best selling overall.
It’s a well-known fact that the series is one of the most popular franchises in gaming these days, thanks to its grouping of the company’s iconic characters and wide appeal, but it’s still a little surprising to hear that it’s already entered such a spot after only a month on the market.
And this success isn’t confined to the west. Japanese fans helped push Super Smash Bros. over the million unit mark just three weeks after launch.
While the install base is much lower, one can only hope the upcoming Wii U release sees the same explosion in sales, both in terms of expanding the competitive community and continuing to show Nintendo that the series is still worth developing.
Do you count yourself among the millions who have purchased the game so far? Feel free to let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Make Seth’s Head Spin with Ultra Street Fighter IV’s Pass-Through Glitch
By now, it’s no secret that Ultra Street Fighter IV has its share of oddities when it comes to how character models and animations interact with one another. Many of these oddities manifest when an FADC is used to cancel certain moves against some members of the cast, which allow the attacker to pass seamlessly through to the other side of the defender for a reset that could understandably crack even the heartiest defenses.
To add to this growing list of weird occurrances, it seems that when fighting Seth, some characters have unique pass-through options that don’t involve blowing half of a super meter in order to achieve. This footage from freeno0b demonstrates techniques players can use against the boss character with Cody, Balrog, Rose, and El Fuerte. Some of the setups involve whiffing normals, some involve a simple forward dash, but they all put the player on the offensive behind the downed Seth ready to unload a combo of their choosing.
In these specific instances, the setups only work if the opponent opts not to quick rise, so Seth players can avoid a bad situation by spending less time in the downed position.

VFDC Launches Combo Lists to Help Newcomers Take First Steps in Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown
As with most games in the series, Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown can be very intimidating when first starting out. Just learning combos can be quite a task due to the fact that you have to take things like a character’s weight and stance into consideration before letting loose.
To help newcomers come to grips with these gameplay aspects, Virtuafighter.com (or VFDC) recently launched combo listings for every character in the Final Showdown cast. This database organizes known combos in an easy-to-browse format, grouping each combo by their starter, indicating which characters it works on, and whether or not it requires things like a counter-hit to get started.
The listing also comes with tools that allow players to sort through combos in addition to multiple views that give players the option to focus on a specific starter or to view the entire list.
For those interested in learning the game or perhaps just seeing how this listing works, head on over to VFDC and check it out for yourself.

World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor Review in Progress #1
There’s nothing that kills procrastination on writing an article more than the fact that the game you’re supposed to be writing about is, well let’s just say "non-functioning". Yes, I’m talking about the latest World of Warcraft expansion, Warlords of Draenor and, yes, it’s been one of those days.
General: Is That Even an RPG?
The holiday season has arrived, and with it comes the annual torrent of questions: what games are worth buying? Which games lived up to the hype? And most important of all, which in this diverse sea of games earns the coveted title of "Game of the Year"? We have a new question: even with leveling, and stats, and gear, how many of them – Destiny, Shadow of Mordor, Overwatch? – actually deserve to be called RPGs?
