The last month of graphics cards has been enough to leave any PC builder’s head spinning. Between AMD and NVIDIA, we’ve had a grand total of five new graphics cards released and are finally starting to see what board partners are able to accomplish with them. Today, we’re looking at one of the most accessible options on the market today with the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER Gaming OC 8G. It offers a healthy factory overclock, all the benefits of Turing, and the best price we were able to find
Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r] is the next iteration of the cult hit that’s found its way to tournaments everwhere! Aksys Games and Arc System Works announced the new game after the grand finals at Evo 2019, alongside developer French-Bread.
Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r] will add one new fighter to the roster on top of “nearly a thousand balance changes and new moves.” Londrekia is a Void Hunter and a high-ranking member wof Ritter Schild who’s icy attacks are only matched by his cold demeanor. According to Aksys Games founder and CEO Akibo Shieh, players should consider this updated version to be “carefully rebalanced and perfected for the greatest possible anime fighting experience to date.”
While there haven’t been any confirmed consoles for the title, it was previously rated for Taiwan and Australia back in May and June respectively for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, so its pretty safe to say UNICLR will probably be heading there at least.

It looks like FFXI is welcoming back players to Vana’Diel during its Summer Festival.
Looks like Black Salt Coreuption isn’t alone on its journey to rewrite expectations for arena fighters! Mighty Fight Federation was announced this weekend and debuted at the Media Indie Showcase at Evo 2019. This four-player battler “focuses on fundamentals and expansive character abilities.”
Mighty Fight features what the developers call, “Hype mechanics”. These can be used to zone, evade, counter, and play mind games with your opponent. The game will include a story mode, arcade mode, and character specific tutorials for all 11 zany characters.
The roster plans to offer a ton of variety, especially for an arena fighter. “Place traps, throw explosive projectiles and charge in with rush-down combos.” There’s someone here for everyone!
Those who love to listen to gaming music on the regular, like myself, will be glad to hear that Mighty Fight will be home to some incredible sounding tunes. Music by Tee Lopes (Sonic Mania), James Landino (RWBY, No Straight Roads), Vince DiCola (Rocky IV, Transformers) and Manami Matsumae (Mega Man, Shovel Knight) will all be found in the game. If that’s not an all-star composer lineup, I don’t know what is!
The game is being developed by Komi Games, a Toronto based studio, and they’ve got a Discord set up for prospective players to keep up with MFF’s updates! The game is projected to hit early access in Q4 of 2019 and on all platforms in 2020.

Julian Spillane, the founder of Komi Games, wants those that think arena fighters are only made for casual play to give the genre another chance.
“We think arena fighters have the potential to be as deep and competitive as their 2D counterparts, so with Mighty Fight we set out to make something that would evoke the classic games of the early 2000s but with an added sense of depth and complexity,” says Spillane.
“As die-hard fighting fans ourselves, we’re building the game that we want to play and we can’t wait to see how the community responds!”

Antonio Shevchenko answered adversity with a smile.
Black Salt Coreuption, an upcoming arena fighter that hopes to break the conventions of the genre, is showing off its latest version at Evo 2019 as a part of The Media Indie Exchange (MIX)!
Most 3D titles like Tekken, SoulCalibur, Dead or Alive, and Virtua Fighter, actually take place on a shifting 2D plane and battles aren’t truly on a three-dimensional space. Black Salt Coreuptiuon wants players to be free to move wherever they desire on the battlefield without giving up the depth in its gameplay.
I played Black Salt Coreuption at DreamHack Dallas earlier in the summer and it was a blast to play. There is definitely a lot more going on in this game than most arena fighters. Every character feels unique and offers something interesting to the roster in terms of both design and gameplay. Personally, a lot of arena fighters tend to feel kind of the same, with every character being a slightly modified version of each other. Luckily, this is not the case for Black Salt Coreuption!
The game is still in early access, so there a few things that need to be worked out, but the dev team is hard at work polishing the game before its projected winter 2019 release on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Its currently running at a new price of $9.99 so it’s practically a steal if you haven’t gotten it yet on Steam!
For an in-depth look at the title, check out Perfect Legend‘s stream of the game where he discusses the title’s mechanics and shares his feelings about how Black Salt Coreuption is Devil May Cry meets Tekken! Perfect Legend has been a bit of an advocate for the title and has been helping promote it through his social media channels.
The mechanics are laid out…ahem-perfectly, by Perfect Legend on his YouTube description!
“Each character has launching normal performed by: Holding guard and pressing towards your opponent + that light attack button.
To perform your special attack press away from your opponent and the Heavy Attack.
To Dash, you press 4/Circle/B (1234 notation, PS, Xbox)
You can perform normals in the air so when you launch you can jump to follow up your combo.
Opponents can breaker out of combos in mid-air, on the ground as well as breaker grabs.
To perform a grab you press RT/R2 to perform.
Grabs can be teched or breakered.
Breaker requires 2 bars of meter currently and you build meter by landing attacks.
Attacks can be guarded and you can be grabbed in the middle of your attack on block so you must cancel out of it into a jump or dash to not get punished.”
Those who enjoy the game can take the battle to the next level in an upcoming tournament in association with PVP Zone in Las Vegas. Details can be viewed in the tweet below as told by none other than Austin St. John, the original Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger who actually voices one of the characters in the game and also spends his time on social media promoting the title.
