Big Band and Arizona get together to jam in this Skullgirls and Them’s Fightin’ Herds musical mash-up

With Mane6’s Them’s Fightin’ Herds now out on early access on Steam, we were bound to get some user made content for the game. That said — we weren’t expecting something like this new video from KST.

Below is a mash-up between Them’s Fightin’ Herds and Skullgirls: 2nd Encore — Anyone familiar with KST is already aware of their work in the latter, using Big Band’s “Satchmo Solo” trumpet super to cover various songs.  In this case however, they’ve mashed this up with Them’s Fightin’ Herds’s Arizona on percussion as they play a rendition of the latter’s theme song.

Check out the performance below.

Bandai Namco announces Tekken World Tour 2018; Finals to be in Amsterdam, NLD

Qudans’ capture of the Tekken World Tour 2017 championship was one of last year’s most celebrated and visceral FGC moments. With a success story like that, it’s no surprise Bandai Namco would want to capture that magic again:

The Tekken World Tour 2018 officially starts March 16th at Final Round in Atlanta, GA, and continues until October 26th at Canada Cup. The series will conclude in Amsterdam, NLD, but competitors will find that the road to the Finals is a little different this year: both point and tournament formats have changed.

The 2018 World Tour will feature one global leaderboard, instead of leaderboards for different regions. Players from any region can earn points at every single Tour event, and the events will only be divided into one of two points categories: Master and Challenger.

You can read more about the new rules and tournament stops here.

BadIntent shows off the practicality of doing nothing in Pokkén Tournament DX

There’s an art to “doing nothing” in Pokkén Tournament DX. This isn’t some Zen meditation we’re talking about, either — when you don’t press anything on your controller (this includes block and directions) you will cause some mechanics in the game to behave differently.

Two of the biggest mechanics altered by this (lack of) input are wake-up timings and block stun. As demonstrated by BadIntent in his latest tutorial video, this has a wide variety of applications for both offensive and defensive situations.
