Month: January 2016

Those who’ve been following Street Fighter V’s development may recall that the game appeared at the Taipei Game Show last year. There, Taiwan’s AVM|Gamerbee took on MCZ|Daigo Umehara for an early exhibition in the alpha build of the game. Information recently surfaced confirming that Sony will once again have Capcom’s upcoming fighter on their stage at this year’s Taipei Game Show.

The game will take the stage on January 30 from 1:00 PM to 2:45 PM local time. In addition to Capcom’s own Yoshinori Ono and Tomoaki Ayano, the stage show will feature sets between well-known players from the region, though the players chosen to participate have yet to be announced.

For more details on this and other Street Fighter V related news, stay locked on to Shoryuken.com. Street Fighter V launches on February 16 for PlayStation 4 and PC.

One of the big issues fighting game players face when coming to current consoles is the fact that the newer systems aren’t generally compatible with arcade sticks from the previous generation. To help these players, a small company known as Brook has come up with a solution: their new Universal Fighting Board. The Universal Fighting Board is a custom PCB that replaces the existing electronics of any arcade stick to allow it to work on the newer Xbox One and PlayStation 4, as well as the previous generation’s Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

In addition to this, the Universal Fighting Board features a turbo function, built in SOCD cleaning to prevent opposing directional inputs, and XInput support for PC games. Basic installation requires no soldering thanks to the built-in screw terminals, allowing anyone who’s handy with a screwdriver to install the board themselves.

Those leery of picking up a Universal Fighting Board will find comfort in the fact that Jasen’s Custom Creations thoroughly tested the PCB, putting it through rigorous latency, compatibility and functionality tests. The board passed these tests, of course.

Pre-orders for the Brook Universal Fighting Board are now open at Arcade Shock and Paradise Arcade Shop. The boards are expected to start shipping between February 3 and 6.
