Everyone has a fighting chance
ArenaNet has announced that the Guild Wars 2 Living Story Season 2 will make its return on January 13, 2015. The story will pick up as the assembled heroes are ready to break the seal on a mysterious cave. Between now and then, however, players will also be able to take part in the annual holiday events.
Danny Castillo will face Paul Felder in a lightweight bout at UFC 182.
It’s no question that Smug of Team PIE and Fukuoka Gamers Club’s Pepeday are two of the most popular players in the Ultra Street Fighter IV scene right now. And it’s easy to see why as soon as either of them enters a match: they both know their characters and their matchups incredibly well and rely heavily on speed, mobility, and mix-up options to set the pace and keep the momentum in their favor–an approach that lends itself more to hype back-and-forth sets than calm and calculated footsie-heavy play.
When you take two players like this and put them up against each other in an exhibition, the resulting matches are not only exciting to watch, but do an excellent job showing just how important maintaining momentum can be, whether it’s in a single round, over a whole match, or throughout an entire set. This constant tug of war makes every round exciting because as soon as one of the players exerts dominance, there’s a good chance that they’ll continue to rack up a few more rounds in their favor.
If you didn’t catch this set when it was broadcast live from Northeast Championships 15, you missed out on what may be one of the most frantic Ultra Street Fighter IV matches of the year. Check it out below if you want to see what the hype is all about or possibly just experience it all over again.

Earlier this month, Aksys Games came forward with the regrettable news that the limited edition package for Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- would be delayed in North America due to ongoing port strikes in Los Angeles and Long Beach. While a concrete time frame wasn’t established, leaving the possibility of a “one to two week postponement” open for western fans eagerly anticipating its release.
Fortunately, it appears the consequences won’t extend past the initial estimate.
In a brand new post on their website, Aksys has announced that the Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- collectors bundle will be available on December 23, a week after the original December 16 release date. “We’d like to apologize for the delay,” the publisher concluded, “and thank all our fans for their patience in this matter.”
The limited version of this title comes packaged with a ton of extras, including updated packing, an exclusive character guide, and more.
Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-‘s regular edition and digital PlayStation Network release are still scheduled to launch on December 16.

With all the fuss that’s been made about Tekken 7 newcomer Lucky Chloe over the past few days, Bandai Namco Games’ Katsuhiro Harada hasn’t had much time to communicate with fans outside of joking about her exclusivity to Japan and Europe. Fortunately, now that things are winding down, he’s shared a few details regarding the cutesy fighter and her place in the upcoming title.
When asked about Chloe’s country of origin, Harada denied that she was from Japan despite being a fan of the country’s pop culture. More interestingly, however, was his quick mention of a “big secret” she harbors. Whether this has to do with the similarities her moves share with other fighters’ or some other topic has yet to be revealed.
Tekken 7 is scheduled to land in Japanese arcades early next year.
