Some of Europe’s Best Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Players Face Off at Gutter Trash 4

The fourth edition of Gutter Trash, the United Kingdom’s premier Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike tournament, took place last weekend at the Heart of Gaming arcade in London. Featuring both a singles and team tournament, the event attracted a good number of top players from all over Europe and even places as far away as Kuwait.

For those who missed the stream, TheShend has uploaded replays from both tournaments, as well as some first-to-five exhibitions. You can watch the footage below or check out the full stream archive over on Twitch.

Play as Ragna’s Dead Spike in New BlazBlue Rhythm Game

deadspike-title-622-crop

Spin-offs for fighting game franchises are becoming rather commonplace these days, but rarely do they put you in the shoes of a sentient special move.

Well, shoes don’t really apply here as the attack in question doesn’t have feet, but I digress.

Earlier today, Arc System Works released Eat Beat: Dead Spike-san for both iOS and Android mobile devices. Based on their popular BlazBlue universe, this rhythm game gives you control over Ragna’s titular attack as it seeks to gain strength by eating everything in its path.

As far as rhythm games go, Eat Beat is pretty basic, but still provides a fun bit of distraction for morning commutes, waiting room visits, or any other activity you feel like filling with remixed BlazBlue themes. It’s also completely free of charge, though you can spend money on things like bonus characters and songs if you’re so inclined.

If you’re interested (and haven’t already tried the original Japanese version), follow the links below and start munching!

Overwatch: New Character Info Incoming?

New Character Info Incoming?

A rather oblique Twitter post has appeared on the Overwatch feed that shows a magazine cover with a shadowed figure on it. While nothing on the cover says anything about Overwatch, the appearance on its Twitter feed and the follow up post by a fan for people to scan the QR-code seems to indicate that a new character will be revealed soon. See what you think!
