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 12 to October 18, 2018!
Zavian “mushin_Z” Sildra, Editor-in-Chief:
Frame 1:
CROW BITES: Samurai Shodown V Special’s recoil cancel
Crow_Spaceboy samples the SamSho strangeness and gives you a taste of what might be coming with the new title from SNK next year. Or, you could just go play this one, right now.
Frame 2:
Is Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite getting an update and rebranding to “Marvel vs. Capcom 4”? Maximilian offers his thoughts
Maximilian’s hopes that MvC4 could be a new title that corrects MvC:I’s design pitfalls seems highly unlikely, but Mahvel fans can dream. An update is a lot to hope for as it is.
Frame 3:
Undamned aims to make CPS2 board suicides a thing of the past with InfiniKey-CPS2
Anything that helps preserve the operation of these arcade classics — even if it involves some almost-literal Frankenstein-ing — is a good thing!
Frame 4:
Complete your collection of Devil May Cry and Ghosts N’ Goblins Crossover Costumes in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition
Glad to see that, like the case with the Monster Hunter outfits, Capcom is giving players multiple chances at some of this stuff.
Frame 5:
Sega is bringing the first three VIRTUAL-ON games to PlayStation 4
I’m hoping these make it to the West as well — I haven’t spent any real time with this series since Oratorio Tangram on the Dreamcast.
Crow_Spaceboy, Assistant Editor:
Frame 1:
Gravity Breakers updates to version 0.4.0, offers free demo, and adds four-armed cultist Valeria to its cast
Gravity Breakers continues to be one of the most exciting-looking indie fighters I have seen in a while, and a worthy heir to Psychic Force 2012.
Frame 2:
BlazBlue: Central Fiction Special Edition for Switch can now be pre-ordered in Japan
I worry that it’s a case of “too little too late” for this game, but I’m please that the DLC is getting bundled all the same.
Frame 3:
Punk signs with Team Reciprocity
I feel like this is the second time we’ve had to report on Punk getting suddenly dropped from a team only to immediately get picked back up…
Frame 4:
Team Reptile shares first footage of Lethal League Blaze’s online gameplay
Lethal League Blaze is looking better and better with every new trailer.
Frame 5:
Two new trailers from Ubisoft mark the launch of the For Honor: Marching Fire expansion
Spookiest zombie story I’ve heard all month.
