Relive the Hype of Mikado Arcade’s Recent Fatal Fury Special and Super Street Fighter II Turbo Tournaments

The world famous Mikado Arcade continues to bring old school 2D action to competitive life in Japan. A total of 53 players showed up in early April to throw down in another dual-game nostalgia blast in the neighborhood of Takadanobaba. This time, the games in question were Street Fighter 2 X: Grand Master Challenge–which we know better in the US as Super Street Fighter II Turbo–and Fatal Fury Special.

The footage, which only recently made its way on to YouTube, features fantastic play, difficult single-elimination brackets, wide character usage, stage interactions, and sweet 60 FPS quality. Click on the videos below to immerse yourself in classic footsies.

Looking for more old school action from Japan? Don’t miss out on the footage from this recent Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike event hosted by Game Daytona.

Capcom to Share Special Announcement at this Weekend’s Combo Breaker

Late yesterday, the folks at Capcom took to Twitter to announce that they’ve got something special in store for viewers tuning in to the Street Fighter V finals at Combo Breaker.

While the Tweet leaves much to be desired when it comes to information surrounding the nature of the announcement, it’s hard to imagine that Capcom will be sharing anything other than news related to upcoming Street Fighter V content. While smart Fight Money may be on learning more about the upcoming iteration of the Boxer who most certainly has Bison Dollars on the brain, we can all hold out for learning more about the future characters we’re most looking forward to.

Ibuki, anyone? No? Alright.

Combo Breaker is set to take place this weekend, May 27-29 in St. Charles, Illinois. For more information surrounding the event, you can head over to their official website.
