King of Fighters XIV’s Classic Athena Costume May Be Coming on December 20th

A could of days back, SNK announced that Athena’s classic costume from King of Fighters ’98 would be coming soon to the King of Fighters XIV. Now, it seems that we may know when the costume is coming.

According to an article posted on Chinese site Gamersky, KOFXIV’s distributor in China, Gamepoch, has announced that the costume will be available for free from December 20, 2016 to January 5, 2017.

Take note that the above is likely only for the game’s Chinese language version. Whether or not the costume will drop for other versions on the same day is as of yet unknown.

In addition to the Athena costume, a couple of free PS4 themes will also be released on that day – a Christmas theme with Athena, Yuri, and Kula, as well as a classic Athena theme to go with the costume. These themes can be accessed by downloading the upcoming graphically updated demo for the game.

Itabashi Zangief and Donpachi Flex and Throw Down in These Street Fighter V Sets

It’s beginning to look a lot like pro wrestling in this set between two grapplers. DNG|Itabashi Zangief has been the perennial Zangief main for as long as anyone can remember–he wears his character in his name, after all. But when paired up against Donpachi–one of Japan’s premier Alex players–you can expect a lot of muscle to be thrown around in this match.

Watch these two grappling fiends in these two first-to-two ranked sets, and enjoy the tension of the spacing game the matchup offers.

reslived Gets Us Up to Speed on Project M in 2016

While the development of Project M sadly ended with version 3.6 in December of last year, the PM community has kept the fires burning with tournament circuits and events throughout the year. In order to recap Project M’s tumultuous year, PM commentator and player reslived has created a comprehensive rundown of the year that was, going over major tournaments, rising players and the growth of the community.

With many events dropping Project M as a mainline game, due to problems with streaming it via Twitch and losing potential sponsorship deals with Nintendo, new events sprung up to keep PM going and Hitbox.tv became the home for any major PM stream. The Project M Championship Circuit stepped into the breach, providing an actual tournament circuit which the official Super Smash Bros. series has yet to see.
