Desk’s Newest Megamix Shows How Rainbow Mika Has (and Hasn’t) Changed Since Street Fighter Alpha 3

Street Fighter V, like any new fighting game, stands apart from previous entries in its series for plenty of reasons: mechanical changes, graphical updates, roster inclusions… the list goes on. And while so much does change, many aspects of the game may be more similar to their old iterations than we’d notice without paying them special attention.

In his newest “Megamix” video, Desk takes a trip back to the days of Street Fighter Alpha–or Zero, if you prefer–to offer viewers a look at how Rainbow Mika’s previous incarnation lines up with her current one. Desk’s editing makes the video a worthwhile watch even if you’re quite familiar with Mikas new and old.

Desk previously gave Birdie the same treatment, so if you enjoy this style of video, be sure to check it out.

The Last Blade 2 Cuts Its Way to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita on May 24

Last December, we reported that SNK Playmore was bringing the Last Blade 2 over to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. Since then, however, we haven’t heard hide nor hair about the game–until now.

SNK Playmore just dropped a trailer for the game that not only shows it in action, but also tells us when the game is hitting both systems: May 24. Aside from this, the trailer goes over the game’s many gameplay features and also confirms online Cross-Play between both platforms.

Perhaps not as popular as SNK’s other fighting game releases, the Last Blade 2 still holds a special place in the hearts of many players. Additionally, it also represents one of Guilty Gear creator Daisuke Ishiwatari’s last works for SNK, with him being responsible for the design of Setsuna and some of the other art for the game.
