Everyone has a fighting chance
Since the first official announcement of Star Wars: the Old Republic, BioWare Austin has not been shy about letting its audience know that story is one of the main pillars that they felt was missing from the MMORPG space. A bulk of their effort developing the game went into creating a richly-told, voice acted story that would ease the pain of the traditional level grind.
Wargaming has announced that fans around the world will have an opportunity to participate in a special sneak peek weekend for the highly anticipated World of Warships. Called ‘Rock-Paper-Scissors’, players will have a chance to check out three ship classes: Cruiser, Destroyer, and Battleship. The weekend is designed to give players a firsthand look at the RPS approach to naval combat. The event will take place from December 12th to 14th. Keep your eye on MMORPG.com for your chance at a key!

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS’ Mii Fighters still haven’t crossed over into the realm of legality in some tournament settings, and for many players that means that they might as well not be in the game at all. Why waste time on something that you can’t use to get that fight money, right? Whether its the potential for added set up time before matches can begin or the troubles that surround having to normalize the size of “custom” characters whose height affects hurtboxes, weight, and damage output, the response to some current tournament rulings for these combatants has drawn mixed responses.
All legal issues aside, HermitHelmet has still taken the time to figure out and compile some options for two variants of these fighters–the Brawler and the Gunner–that could make them quite a bit scarier once (or if) they hit the tournament scene.
The first video involves some added mobility to the Mii Brawler’s Shot Put special, while the second covers added movement options for the Mii Gunner, including increased jump height, a backwards slide involving the forward air, and a couple of other interesting mechanics manipulations that should help make your Gunner even harder to pin down.

In a new interview at IGN, Bungie’s David Dague let players know that the Destiny long-term plan includes ten years of content and that character progress from the original game will carry over into the planned sequel. There is no word when that sequel will arrive, but it is a sure bet that it will be built on and include aspects of the first.
Francisco Rivera was executing his game plan, landing strikes and, despite entering his UFC 181 bout with Urijah Faber as a heavy underdog, appeared to have won the opening round. Then, a finger to the eye ruined his night.
Indo Imran recently put together a collection of Blanka Red Focus combos that could stand to give the Brazilian fighter an edge in future Ultra Street Fighter IV matches once the tech catches on with a wider swathe of players. In a similar vein, the Red Focus enthusiast has released another collection of combos that center around the mechanic, this time with Chun-Li as the star of the show.
In stark contrast to most Chun combo videos, you won’t find leg loop after leg loop in this footage, which is a nice change of pace. Instead, the combos involve EX Red Focus cancels from Kikokens to push the hit counter, as well as the damage and stun numbers, up several notches. This helps to keep execution at more reasonable levels as well so that the combos may actually be useful outside of training mode.
But, there’s a catch. While the options are undeniably flashy, the damage numbers take a huge hit thanks to the scaling involved. These combos stand as yet another excellent example of how the Red Focus mechanic’s uses can be rather limited outside of the elite few who actually gain substantial damage from its use. However, they’re still a great way to close out a match in style.
