Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is arriving at the end of this month, and Capcom wants to help remind you of the games in which this storied franchise took its first steps — or threw its first Hadouken, for that matter. Check out their first entry in their “30th Anniversary Retrospective Series”, taking a closer look at the titles that started it all: Street Fighter, and the Street Fighter II & Super Street Fighter II series. Get ready for a hard-hitting blast of nostalgia! (And you might recognize a familiar voice on narration.)

Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection arrives on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on May 29, 2018. Digital pre-orders also include a copy of Ultra Street Fighter IV.

ELEAGUE Street Fighter V Invitational: Smug and Infiltration have joined the list of competitors

22 out of 24 participants have been revealed.

As we draw closer to the ELEAGUE Street Fighter V Invitational tournament — featuring 24 of the game’s top competitors divided into four Groups, fighting for $250,000 — we’re getting closer to seeing the full fight card. In addition to the 20 players we already knew, we’ve since seen tweets from PG|Infiltration and RISE|Smug announcing their impending participation in the event. The list of competitors so far:

  • Echo Fox|Justin Wong
  • Echo Fox|Punk [2017 ELEAGUE Street Fighter V Invitational Champion]
  • NVD|Phenom
  • Mouz|Problem X
  • Twitch.Hx.CYG BST|Daigo Umehara
  • 801 Strider

  • RISE|Smug
  • PG|Infiltration

You can see their announcement tweets below:

That puts us at 22 out of 24 competitors for the event at the time of this writing; we need two more yet, and since a spot is reserved for the winner of ELEAGUE’s SFV reality show project ELEAGUE The Challenger: Street Fighter V, we can expect one other will surface soon aside from that. Two players have already been eliminated from the chance at a spot at the Invitational in the first two episodes of ELEAGUE The Challenger: Street Fighter V — LowTierGod and Sherry Jenix.

The ELEAGUE Street Fighter V Invitational will be broadcast on both Twitch and TBS beginning on Friday, June 1, starting with Group A at 3:00 PM ET (Noon PT), at twitch.tv/ELEAGUETV, before the TBS broadcast at 11:00 PM ET (8:00 PM PT.)

City of Titans – New Blog Shows Off How Devs Want You to Always Have a Good Hair Day

The latest City of Titans developer blog has been posted, this time showing off the process of how the team is working hard to make sure that players always have a good hair day. It begins with the discussion of how “cloth dynamics” are applied to hair so that it doesn’t just stick to the toon’s head without moving and provides range of motion. Then designers use “bones” and joint-based physics to give hair a truly “living” aspect.
