Arcade Shock launching new Colors Customization arcade stick ordering service on June 25

Get a fight stick exactly the way you want it, shipped already customized and ready for play!

Arcade Shock — perennial FGC controller and parts supplier — recently announced their plans to kick off a new ordering system dubbed “Colors Customization” in which you can order a fight stick already personalized with your choices of parts and graphics, and it will be assembled and delivered ready to use. They are nearly ready to start the system up — and it will launch at 11:00 AM PT on June 25!

Customers will be able to use the online system to build a stick on-the-fly, integrating parts, internal PCB upgrade (EZ mod kit) if desired, and artwork — all automated online 24/7, allowing you to put together and preview a custom stick at your leisure, anywhere, anytime. With the new software, you’ll be able to see what you’ll get before you check out. The prices will include labor — and will be very reasonable for complete customization services.

Or: aren’t ready to buy a fully customized arcade stick, but just want parts? With this sytem, you can preview how certain pushbuttons or balltop colors look on a controller, so there’s no guess work if you want to change things up on your own stick. The software can also act as a guide though for those who just want parts. (Customers will have to exit the system and order the parts separately, however, as the customizer software is still geared towards building a complete fight stick.)

Head over to Arcade Shock to try it for yourself when it goes live on Monday!

The SRK Rollback: Best of June 15-21, 2018

Welcome to the Rollback: a frame-by-frame look back at our past week’s most notable news — and our favorite SRK articles — from June 15 to June 21, 2018!

Zavian “mushin_Z” Sildra, Editor-in-Chief:

Frame 1:
Groh Soul ChargeShoryuken at E3 2018: Interview with SoulCalibur VI producer Motohiro Okubo

Our Associate Editor sat down with the SoulCalibur VI head hanchō at E3 2018 to talk about what to expect from the latest iteration of the weapons-based fighter.

Frame 2:
3rd strike logo basicStreet Fighter III: 3rd Strike tutorial — Ryu bread-and-butter combo guide & general notes

Bafael starts to look at the nitty-gitty of 3rd Strike, starting with the foundation of Street Fighter gameplay design himself, the wandering warrior Ryu.

Frame 3:
Core-A-Gaming-Nerfs-&-BuffsCore-A-Gaming looks at how UYU’s NL and Oil King are dealing with buffs and nerfs in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

A hot topic in our age of constant patching, here’s how two pros look at Capcom’s insistence to meddle with their mains.

Frame 4:
sfv menat fighting chanceSurvival Mode improvements are coming to Street Fighter V, alongside a new feature: Menat’s “Fighting Chance”

Survival Mode was long, long overdue for some changes (pretty much any changes), and while Fighting Chance is basically a lootbox system, it seems harmless enough — maybe even a little amusing.

Frame 5:
sfv evo 2018 t-shirt art crop 750x400A new Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition tribute t-shirt is available to Evo 2018 attendees on smash.gg

This fantastic tribute art speaks for itself. I want this as a poster, not a t-shirt!

Crow_Spaceboy, Assistant Editor:

Frame 1:
POWERRANGERSStreet Fighter pros challenged to exhibition match in Power Rangers: Legacy Wars at Mobile Masters tournament

I hate that the Power Rangers mobile fighter is closer to Yomi (the card game) than Fantasy Strike (the fighting game based on Yomi) is. Also I really just want to see how Justin Wong does.

Frame 2:
Scuf Vantage Disassembled Featured ImageShoryuken at E3 2018: Giving the SCUF Vantage PlayStation 4 controller a fighting chance

Truth be told, I wasn’t on-board with this thing until reading Austyn’s hands-on experience. If you’re on the fence, check it out.

Frame 3:
terry_mui_muiPlayable Terry Bogard and Mui Mui revealed in SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy’s trophy list

How did SNK know my favorite heroine was Terry Bogard?

Frame 4:
koushun at canada cup 2018 sailor moon s 3rd strikeLegendary Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S player Koushun will be competing in Canada Cup 2018’s tournament

With the way fighting games have been going lately, it wouldn’t surprise me at this point if all the attention Sailor Moon S has been getting led to a new ArcSys fighter.

Frame 5:
vrossoARIKA releases PlayStation 4 vs. PlayStation 4 Pro “output comparison” video — just to reveal Vulcano Rosso

It’s almost time, my dudes. June 28th.

Catch up on what you may have missed in our prior SRK Rollback compilations.

Elder Scrolls Online – The Calm After the Storm

With Summerset being released and everyone enjoying the new content, we have news of more content coming down the road with the newest DLCs announced. Wolfhunter and Murkmire. As much as I like the design of Wolfhunter, I am more excited for Murkmire because of the story content. There hasn’t been an official date announced for these two packs but I am sure we will hear about them more as time goes by, so let’s focus on what we have now: Summerset Isles.
