Eric Jacobus Tackles Dead or Alive in His Latest “Real Life Movesets” Montage

While mainly known for his recreations of Tekken movesets, stuntman Eric Jacobus has shifted franchises and decided to try out the moves of fellow 3D fighter, Dead or Alive. For this installment, Eric has focused on the moves of Sambo practitioner and former assassin Bayman as his first foray into the world of DOA.

According to the stuntman, many of Bayman’s throws and strikes would actually be applicable and useful in real world situations, unlike the flips and Izuna drops of other characters in the Dead or Alive roster. While it may not be flashy, Bayman’s move set may actually help you out if you were stuck in a jam with some people who didn’t care if you were dead or alive.

King of Fighters XIV Version 1.03 English Patch Notes May Not Be Completely Accurate

As we reported yesterday, a large patch was released for The King of Fighters XIV, and we received a list of patch notes in English. Unfortunately, it seems as if the translation may not have been word-for-word. A little something here and there getting lost in the translation is nothing new, though it can be a bit frustrating when learning what has changed about your character. It doesn’t happen often, but it’s important to know about.

One sharp-eyed fan, Gato Ray, realized that not all the changes were properly translated. Here, he points out that the Japanese patch notes for Ryo state that his far standing heavy kick was changed, but the English notes list far light kick.

While the gist of most of these changes is probably relatively accurate, double-checking that your character’s listed changes match what is in your game would probably be a good idea.

For all of the high intensity rock on the Guilty Gear Xrd soundtrack, sometimes you want some smooth jazz to accompany your fighting. Covering the character theme of the gentlemanly vampire poet Slayer, the Consouls have jazzed up the already jazzy Jack-a-Dandy, complete with killer trumpet and tenor sax solos.
