Falke “float glitch” discovered in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

New fighters, new glitches.

Filipino Champ encountered an entertaining/aggravating new glitch while streaming Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition not too long ago: it seems Falke takes her Guardian Hawk persona seriously enough that she wants to fly — or at least hang motionless in the air, above a rather confused opponent. [Audio NSFW!]

Definitely more floating like a butterfly, than soaring like a hawk. The cause of the glitch is unclear, but appears to possibly involve her “Windstoss” air throw. In this instance it’s accidental, but we don’t know if it can be deliberately replicated à la the classic game-breaking Street Fighter II arcade bugs. Fortunately, while it stops Falke dead in the air, it only takes a swipe from Necalli to get things back to normal.

Let us know if you’ve encountered this glitch!

– HyperX Cloud Revolver Gunmetal – Locked and Loaded

HyperX is on a roll. Over the last year, we’ve reviewed two of their headsets, the best-in-its-bracket HyperX Cloud Alpha and their first impressive take on a wireless headset with the Cloud Flight. Today, we’re looking at the Cloud Revolver, re-released in the brand new gunmetal colorway. The original Revolver’s been out for a little over two years – does the new version hold up to the high standards of their latest and greatest?

Nintendo reveals details for the Nintendo Switch online service

Come September 2018, Nintendo will be launching the “Nintendo Switch Online” service, thus ending the Switch’s free online gameplay. This has been the stated intention since the beginning, but there’s good news in this announcement for those worried how it’d break their bank.

Individual membership

1 Month – $3.99 USD
3 Months – $7.99 USD
12 months – $19.99 USD

One per each Nintendo Account holder.

Family membership

12 Months – $34.99 USD

A Nintendo Account holder may invite up to seven others to join a family group; all members of the group will have access to Nintendo Switch Online.

Not only is the price point much cheaper for NSO than Sony and Microsoft’s offerings, but the addition of the “Family Membership” plan makes it to where up to 7 people can split a year-long membership. At $34.99, that’s roughly 5 bucks a player for a year

The NSO change will almost certainly impact any fighting games on the Nintendo Switch with online services, including future titles like the in-development Super Smash Bros. and SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy.
