Fractured – Dynamight Backpedals on Single Server, Opts Instead for Regional Servers

Dynamight has taken a new position with regard to Fractured servers. Originally, the team planned to host the game on a single server located in North America. After receiving community feedback, the plan is to utilize regional servers as the game grows. In addition, Fractured will be localized into seven languages alongside English: Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Spanish, French, German and Italian.

LiangHUBBB returns with Episode 108 of his “Funny & Cool Moments” series

Earlier this month, LiangHUBBB released episode 108 of his massively long-running “Funny & Cool Moments” series, where he creates compilations of various hype and hilarious moments from a multitude of different fighting games from past and present.

Titles spotlighted this episode include: Ultra Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, Tekken 7, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, The King of Fighters XIII and XIV, Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late, Capcom Fighting Evolution, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, Injustice 2, SoulCalibur VI, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, The Last Blade 2, Dragon Ball FighterZ and Fighting EX Layer.

Notable clips include AltasBear|Poongko’s Run Stop pressure with El Fuerte, as well as nearly getting a perfect on USFIV’s Barrel Bonus stage with Evil Ryu, Razer’s Xian hilariously teaching players how to play Ibuki and F.A.N.G, crazy Danger Zone juggles in DOA5:LR, a crazy HD Mode Andy combo in KOFXIII, Kei landing a touch of death Sparking combo on GGWP|Souji, a Ryu player using V-Trigger II to parry a Guile’s Flash Kick and punishing a Sonic Hurricane with the follow-up for a victory, and a highlight reel of the true Emperor of Muay Thai: Adon.

Though my two personal favorite moments are SonicSol absolutely losing his mind after being whiff-punished due to the hurt boxes on Falke’s staff normals and a touching clip of CYG.BST|GamerBee and his wife cosplaying as Halloween Necalli and one of AKIMAN’s alternate Chun-Li designs. Catch the full video below. Beware of brief NSFW language.

Familiarize yourself with new Siegfried mechanics in this SoulCalibur VI character breakdown

Hayate continues his series of SoulCalibur VI tutorial videos, ahead of its October 19th release. If you’ve been a Siegfried fan from SoulCalibur III, you’re probably quite interested in the nuanced changes of the sword-wielder in the upcoming installment.

Along with Pantocrator, Hayate first goes over Siegfried’s changes. Classified as a mid-range zoning character with stances, he retains most of his old moves, with the exception of 9K,9B, and 22B, which were quicker jump moves and an attack that weaved into stance. His trademark moves, like the 3B attack and A+B in all stances.

He has learned some new tricks, notably 6A+B, which sometimes activates “Dark Legacy” mode, a new mechanic. You may have noticed Siegfried sometimes glows with blue flame, especially when his health is low, as if he had Soul Charge active. Dark Legacy improves some moves, making them able to Lethal Hit, but there might be more to this. Siegfried can “spend” Dark Legacy mode on an explosion attack, just like Nightmare’s.

Check out the explanatory video below, and if you’re yearning for some great gameplay footage of Siegfried, look to the CEO 2018 SoulCalibur VI exhibition.

If Siegfried is too old-school for you, turn to Hayate’s informative SoulCalibur VI Grøh breakdown.
