Call It a Comeback: Street Fighter V Players Fight Down to the “Magic Pixel” in This Video Compilation

The addition of the grey life mechanic to Street Fighter V definitely pushed the franchise in a more aggressive direction; but comparatively, the removal of chip-damage KOs (except from Critical Arts) gives SFV players an ability to turn the tables even greater than Street Fighter IV’s love-it-or-hate-it Revenge Gauge.

In this new compilation, XusesGB features amazing Street Fighter comebacks that have to be seen to be believed. The moral of the story: in SFV, the fight’s never over until it’s really over.

ClayFighter Now Up for Grabs as Interplay Sells the Majority of Its Intellectual Property

Checkbooks out, fighting game developers: one of the 90s most infamous fighting game franchises is now on the market. As part of a massive selling of intellectual property and video game assets, Interplay is now offering rights to many of its franchises and characters to the highest bidder. This includes characters like Earthworm Jim, games like Sacrifice, Battlechess, Dark Alliance and the most important one, ClayFighter.

There was an planned remake of ClayFighter which was supposed to hit stores this year from Interplay, but with this mass IP sale happening, this remake has most likely been canned. So, if any potential developers out there want to remake ClayFighter for a new generation–adding in online play, new clay based characters, and actually balancing the game so that one character’s low forward can no longer outrange the rest of the cast, combo into itself, and cause stun–now is your chance!
