Everyone has a fighting chance
During a pre-fight press conference for Bellator 208 on Saturday in New York, Bellator MMA President Scott Coker talked about his passion for the sport, as a fan and as a martial artist.
For players that like the features the high-quality Qanba Obsidian arcade stick offers — such as its unobtrusive secondary controls, PS4 touch pad, LED features and aluminum exterior, not to mention its notable size and heft — Arcade Shock is now offering a control alternative for those that also enjoy the Hit Box Arcade all-button control scheme.
You can now order the Qanba Obsidian modified to the Hit Box all-button layout — a limited number of these two color schemes are already available ready-made, or you can make your own custom design via the COLORS modification service. If you want to modify your own Obsidian controller, the “Hit-Box” customized components are also available separately. Arcade Shock plans to post an instructional video to aid you in that conversion in the near future.

At PAX West I got my first look at HyperX’s Predator RGB RAM kit and was blown away by it’s vibrance, style and infrared synchronization technology. Couple that with a variety of speeds from 2933 to 4000 and we are looking at a serious competitor in the RGB RAM market. In this review we’ll take a closer look at the real world performance to see if the HyperX Predator DDR4 Kit is the right fit for your next build or upgrade.
Welcome to the Rollback: a frame-by-frame look back at our past week’s most notable news — and our favorite SRK articles — from October 5 to October 11, 2018!
Zavian “mushin_Z” Sildra, Editor-in-Chief:
Frame 1:
Upcoming Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition update will improve the speed of the game’s inputs
From the players’ perspective less input latency is always a good thing, so hopefully Capcom delivers on this promise. You can also check out VesperArcade’s thoughts on how it will affect the game as well.
The TOLIII lineup just keeps improving. This will be an impressive display of Super Turbo prowess.
Lazybones2020 gets some insight into the ongoing development of DOA6 as it creeps closer to completion.
X-Kira/Miyuki-Chan again is laying out predictions for upcoming SFV goodies based on the game’s code; the finds are piling up, so if these are accurate we should start seeing some of them soon. They also claim more costume Easter eggs are on the way.
Frame 5:
Echo Fox parts ways with Tekken legends JDCR and Saint
Following on the heels of news that Punk, Scar, and Theo were leaving the team, now this… it’s looking like Echo Fox is letting most, if ultimately not all, of its FGC talent go. We’ll have to see who is left standing, if anyone — could SonicFox or Tokido be next?
Crow_Spaceboy, Assistant Editor:
On one hand, I love the way this looks and I want it. On the other hand, it looks really… wide, doesn’t it? I feel like I could set pocket notebooks on this thing while I play.
Frame 2:
South Korea’s Tekken hotspot, Green Arcade, announces closure
Everything surrounding this closure, from the end of an era to the fallout of players associated with the arcade, has been incredibly sad to watch from afar.
Frame 3:
TONY-T’s latest combo video celebrates cancelled PlayStation fighting game “Thrill Kill”
Not everyday you get to share a combo video for Thrill Kill. Who knows how gaming might have changed if this thing actually saw the light of day.
Frame 4:
NeoGamer looks at behind-the-scenes footage of Mortal Kombat 4
As horrendous as Mortal Kombat 4 was (don’t @ me, etc. — actually, wait, no, do @ me… getting an essay on Mortal Kombat 4 from its sole defender sounds hilarious) I really enjoy these behind-the-scenes looks into Midway’s — at the time — unique processes.
Frame 5:
NurseLee dissects Lei Wulong’s “Defense Breaker” for Tekken 7
This might sound silly, but this is my favorite Lei move, conceptually. I love the fact it’s +9000 on block but leaves you in this weird sorta-back-turned state.
Catch up on what you may have missed in our prior SRK Rollback compilations.
The latest update to Neverwinter delves into familiar territory to Dungeon & Dragons fans of old. Ravenloft gives players of the game a chance to travel to Barovia and eventually face off against Strahd himself! Will this live up to memories of old or simply be as thin as mists in the forest? This is our Neverwinter: Ravenloft review.

Over my past several articles I’ve spent time outlining the classes and delved into players handling their inventory. Now we will head into the meat and potatoes, outlining some of the massive changes ArenaNet has added over the years for end-game play, while helping players prioritize what may interest them most upon returning, and when they may need to employ new tactics on the battlefield. Warning returning players, there be tough decision ahead!
Tencent has announced a series of future development plans for its increasingly successful Ring of Elysium battle royale. Players can expect to see three major phases of additions and fixes to the game over the coming months.
