Ken’s life is in ruins: BornFree’s latest skit addresses what Ken needs most in Season 4 of Street Fighter V

“Yeah, but this is a V-Skill walk, so…”

sfv-ken-intro-622-crop

Ken fans have rallied behind a singular point of contention on Ken in Street Fighter V since day one: what is up with that hair? That face…? And why won’t Capcom do anything about it?!

UYU|BornFree offers the scenario above for your consideration. How much can one fighter take, how much can one man lose, before he’s forced to jump ship and find a game that appreciates him? One ill-conceived sponsorship deal might be the last straw to push a Street Fighter over the edge — and into the world of edge-guarding.

Mech Abigail, a Jin Saotome Crossover Costume for Ryu, and a myriad of costume DLC bundles are coming to Street Fighter V

The mech-invasion of Street Fighter V is not over!

Following the Mech costumes for Zangief, F.A.N.G, and Juri that have smashed their way through Extra Battle mode in Street Fighter V — Mech Juri is in her third week presently — another one is prepped to roll off the assembly line soon: Abigail will be the next fighter to get the Mech treatment, with his challenges starting as Juri’s end, on December 21.

Following this Mech madness, another Crossover Costume is incoming, this time for Ryu: Jin Saotome from Cyberbots!

The SRK Rollback: Best of November 30 to December 6, 2018

Welcome to the Rollback: a frame-by-frame look back at our past week’s most notable news — and our favorite SRK articles — from November 30 to December 6, 2018!

Zavian “mushin_Z” Sildra, Editor-in-Chief:

Frame 1:
pullum_exRevisiting Fighting EX Layer: New characters, arcade mode, and a new Steam version!

Now you’ve got two platforms to try FEXL on, so you better give it a shot! The game only continues to improve through ARIKA’s support.

Frame 2:
julia tekken 7Armor King, Craig Marduk, Julia Chang revealed for Tekken 7 Season 2

Namco revealed a trio of fan-favorites to fill out the Season 2 roster, along with more on guest fighter Negan, at the conclusion of the 2018 TWT.

Frame 3:
x-men vs street fighter opening attract ryu cyclops cropJabril Power offers a look into the fall of arcade business and culture in the United States with “Why Arcades Died in America”

Arcades have had a rough time in America — these videos look back on the hows and whys.

Frame 4:
tekken_3_boxartNTSC versions of games like Tekken 3 and Battle Arena Toshinden can be accessed on PlayStation Classic — with a trick

This begs the question: if the full-framerate versions of these titles are playable on on the micro-console, why aren’t they used as the default versions…?

Frame 5:
SNK_Samurai_ShodownSNK’s IPO press conference reveals new Samurai Shodown will be multi-platform, The King of Fighters XV scheduled for 2020

Good news for SNK fans; I’m looking forward to seeing what these projects become in the next two years.

Crow_Spaceboy, Assistant Editor:

Frame 1:
Fight of Gods JesusFight of Gods to release for Nintendo Switch on December 12th in Asian markets, English version to follow later

Gosh, its almost as if the pearl-clutching from those offended by the game only sold more copies.

Frame 2:
forger_humanbombJonny “HumanBomb” Cheng parts ways with Primo Esports, will not make it to the Capcom Cup Last Chance Qualifier

This is my worst nightmare with esports: good players getting the rug pulled up from underneath them for bureaucratic reasons.

Frame 3:
stardust overrideOverride: Mech City Brawl announces first DLC character, the unicorn mech “Stardust”

I am excited to see this goofy horse in action. That’s all I have to say, really: buy Override.

Frame 4:
13-Cammy-VskillJames Chen’s “Unchensored” explains the need for proximity normals in Street Fighter V

James Chen posts a hell of a what-if scenario for SFV, and the response is as fascinating and entertaining as his rant itself.

Frame 5:
kinniukMikado Arcade’s Street Fighter Carnival 12 begins with World Heroes 2, Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2, and Fighting Layer tournaments

Long live Mikado, long live Kinnikuman.

Catch up on what you may have missed in our prior SRK Rollback compilations.

Pre-orders are open for the compact Seimitsu LS-33 Kai and LS-33-01 Kai levers at Arcade Shock

Where every millimeter matters, a “compact” lever may be the answer.

Arcade Shock has opened pre-orders for a new variant on the LS-33 lever from Seimitsu, the LS-33-01 Kai compact joystick. This version is now available both with fastener-type connections, and a new 5-pin connector variation that makes for easier compatibility with retail fight sticks.

ARCADESHOCK-2018-11-BANNER-SEIMITSULS33(1)

From Arcade Shock:

The original LS-33 was produced only in the Fastener type, and its main purpose was to be the most compact lever in their lineup for situations where space is limited. This joystick was used primarily in Japanese arcade cabinets, as this was never implemented in any commercial arcade stick. Over the course of a year in our meetings with Seimitsu, we discussed the possibility of reintroducing an improved version of the LS-33, with one modern feature: offer this with a 5-pin variant as well. All the parts of the LS-33 Kai and the LS-33-01 Kai are identical to the original LS-33, except for the plastic base which is slighter taller. The spring is very light, similar to Sanwa Denshi’s JLF stock joystick.

You can pre-order both versions of the stick now at Arcade Shock for $19.95 USD; orders are expected to start shipping tomorrow, December 5th.
