Mikado Arcade’s Street Fighter Carnival 12 latest VODs feature The Fallen Angels, Samurai Shodown II
Mikado Arcade’s Street Fighter Carnival 12 is a multi-game tournament series designed to promote high-level gameplay in a wide variety of legacy FGC titles. We’re well into a month of arcade battles and the action isn’t slowing down — here’s two more VODs, featuring Samurai Shodown II and The Fallen Angels!
It’s almost guaranteed that everyone reading this will be familiar with SamShoII…
…but you may be less familiar with Psikyo’s The Fallen Angels. Better known for their world class shmup titles, Psikyo had a very brief run in the fighting game market with this game and an odd, okizeme-less martial arts fighter Battle K-Road. It’s a shame we didn’t get to see how far potential sequels could take The Fallen Angels — Some balance issues aside, it’s a gorgeous game with great flair and an emphasis on close range pressure. It is worth noting that the developers of this game largely moved on to work other fighting games for another company — SNK Playmore.
You can follow the action of SFC12 by subscribing to Mikado’s official YouTube channel. For the night owls in the US, you can even try to catch them when they livestream.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate glitch allows Isabelle to fill the screen with assist trophies
Every new video game comes with a bug or two, but there are some that end up being more hilarious than others. Such is the case with a bug discovered in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
The bug in question involves Isabelle and her fishing rod. If two Isabelles try to catch an assist trophy at the same time, the one who snags it will end up locked in an infinite loop that summons a random character.
The glitch, which was demonstrated by TheAfroJow in the video below, looks pretty bonkers in action. The Isabelle who “wins” keeps spawning assists trophies (that’ll most likely end up winning the match for them). It would be totally overpowered — if not for the fact that items, like assists trophies, aren’t used in competitive play.

JUMP FORCE adds Trunks, Boa Hancock, and Renji Abarai
The latest issue of V-Jump has revealed three more characters for Bandai Namco’s Shonen Jump arena fighter Jump Force. Coming to the game are Trunks form Dragon Ball Z, Boa Hancock from One Piece, and Renju Abarai from Bleach.
Of these three, Trunks probably needs the least introduction with the popularity of the franchise — and the fact that he’s also in Dragon Ball FighterZ. In fact, him being added was likely a given at this point.
The “Pirate Empress” Boa Hancock is the Captain of the Kuja Pirates and one of the “Shibibukai”, 7 pirate warlords who serve as privateers for the world government. She’s also secretly an ally of Luffy and the Straw Hats, having a bit of a crush on him.
Renji Abarai a Soul and the lieutenant of the 6th division under Byakuya Kuchiki. He started of as something of an antagonist, trying to take down series lead Ichigo to be able to arrest Rukia, before eventually becoming an ally later on.
Jump Force is due out for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on February 14, 2019 in Japan; and PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on February 15, 2019 in the West.
