Fans of the many classic arcade titles that SNK has produced are no doubt eager for the NEO GEO Mini, SNK’s creative take on the microconsole trend. It’s been confirmed now that the International version — which sports a slightly different game library than the Japanese version — will be available in the U.S.A. and Europe on September 10, 2018.
The miniature arcade cabinet can be played on its own or connected to an HDMI video display, and can be also be used with arcade sticks or controllers. It’s packed with 40 SNK classics, including fighting games from The King of Fighters, Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Samurai Shodown and other series!
Interestingly, September 10 is also the date that the teaser countdown on the SNK website will conclude, and a new game is expected to be revealed.
VesperArcade offers some resources to help players taking on the Man of Mystery.
The President of the World bursts into Street Fighter V with an unusual but effective moveset, making G a force to be reckoned with! VesperArcade has been exploring the capabilities of the most recent additions to the SFV roster, and there are multiple videos of interest to those that want to tap into the power of Gaia.
It’s vital to have a good handle on G’s Presidentiality system, and how to use G Charge to keep your Presidentiality level as high as needed:
If you’ve made some headway into G basics, you might want to start adding these mix-ups into your game plan:
Finally, here’s a closer look at what may well be one of the best command grabs in Street Fighter V: G Impact. Its range and follow-up options make this a throw to be feared, certainly. It can even be canceled into from blocked normals to punish V-Reversals or armored moves. But, it has a very slow startup compared to many other command grabs, and has very long recovery on whiff, making it a risky move if used recklessly! If you’re facing off against the World President, pay attention to the counter-strategies later in the video.
The Ship of Heroes site has been updated with a new blog post to show off the most recent works by the team, particularly with regard to NPCs and how the team is invested in providing a “living” city for its players. Besides adding a vibrant NPC population, complete with vehicular travel, developers are also cognizant of keeping a “reasonable FPS for our new MMORPG”. The goal is to “strike a good balance between immersion and FPS”.
Elsword players will now finally come to the conclusion of the Varnimyr Dungeon series with the release of Shadow Vein. The El Search Party is hot on the trail of fresh new adventures in Varnimyr and Shadow Vein should provide a challenging opportunity.
Well, you asked Harada (despite his insistence that you don’t) and now you have it — Anna and Lei have arrived in Tekken 7. Let’s see what the FGC has put together for these two legacy characters on day one:
Let’s start out with Lei Wulong, Tekken’s world champion at having a million stances. “What do those stances do, exactly?” you may ask, as a newcomer. They mix you up ’til you die, that’s what they do! MELOO shows off some basic combos and gives a taste of the type of mix-up potential Lei brings:
Lei comes equipped with several Rage Drives and we’ll likely see real development with the character as they are explored. On day one, though, it’s likely no surprise that the first RD tech we see involves combo extension — and half life off a basic launcher certainly isn’t bad for a RD.
I try very hard to only post tech that you can learn from, but I’m going to close out the Lei section with Anakin’s day one Lei only because I’m certain you won’t see this interaction again anytime soon — and you need to.
Anna Williams brings her “Chaos Judgement” stance back to Tekken 7! This state is central to her game-play and combos, so get used to seeing it if you’re new to her.
WonDa GAME starts us off with some basic combos. No one will accuse Anna of not dealing enough damage in this game:
When Anna players get thier execution down, this girl is going to be a comeback nightmare. Rage Drive and execution allow her to break triple digits in open field!
Trion Worlds is giving ArcheAge players plenty of notice ahead of a server “evolution” coming to both North American and European servers on October 17th to “better balance populations”. While the details are somewhat slim at the moment, the plan is to release a comprehensive FAQ sometime next week.
