Month: May 2015

In the early hours of the morning, Razer announced yet another addition to their fighting game roster in Taiwanese competitor Arubi “RB” Kao. A player who first appeared on the global stage starting with Super Street Fighter IV, Kao has proven he’s someone to pay attention to with impressive showings at Hong Kong Esports Tournament and Taiwan’s last two Capcom Cup qualifiers.

With players like Kun Xian Ho, Keita “Fuudo” Ai, and Carl “Perfect Legend” White currently occupying their roster, Team Razer is one of the most decorated competitive squads in the fighting game community today, and Kao’s multi-character skills with Rufus, Guy, Hugo, and Rolento are sure to complement them well.

As a player with much less global recognition than his teammates, it should be great to see him compete at more international tournaments. Be on the look out for Kao as we continue through the 2015 season.

It’s not a big surprise that Mortal Kombat X topped the PlayStation Store’s sales charts for April, but it did beat out some heavy-hitters, including the system exclusive (and console-moving) Bloodborne.

The real shock here is that the new title wasn’t NetherRealm Studios’ only representative on this list of top sellers. If you look all the way down at rank 19 on the PlayStation 4 chart, you’ll see that Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition barely made the cut, and it climbed all the way to 8th place on the PlayStation 3 list, which, obviously, couldn’t include Mortal Kombat X or a couple of the other big contenders available on its younger sibling.

Even so, a game that has been out so long and that has seen so many rock-bottom sale prices clawing its way back on to the sales charts is nothing to shake a fightstick at. Perhaps this was a case of the fresher game spurring sales of the older one? In any case, kudos Injustice.
