X-Kira’s latest round of datamining reveals more Resident Evil Crossover Costumes, playable NPCs coming to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

The Biohazard outbreak is spreading to even more of the World Warriors!

It was officially revealed earlier this week that we would be receiving a set of Resident Evil Crossover Costumes in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. The three attires included in the pack will see Cammy White don the iconic beret and S.T.A.R.S uniform of Jill Valentine, Kolin become a double agent with the attire of Ada Wong, and Urien continuing Albert Wesker’s quest for complete global saturation.

As previously reported, these attires, along with festive Holiday 2018 Christmas wear for the Season 3 quartet of Sakura, Blanka, Falke, and Cody, and Nash’s Cannon Spike attire (which is currently available though Menat’s Fighting Chance) were all reported by him. The Brazilian dataminer has continued to tease more potential upcoming content, noting that there will be even more Resident Evil Crossover Costumes on the way in 2019 that will see Ryu don the BSAA uniform of lead male protagonist Chris Redfield, Cody getting infected with the Golgotha Virus to resemble the pipe-carrying first G form of Dr. William Birkin, and the monstrous Abigail becoming even more terrifying with a Nemesis T-Type outfit. Claire Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy attires were also mentioned through photos. This tie-in makes sense, as the Resident Evil 2 remake launches on January 25th, 2019. He also claims that Falke will receive a Crossover Costume of Regina from Dino Crisis. Furthermore, he notes that Shadow Lady will eventually appear to challenge us in Extra Battle as a third Crossover Costume for Chun-Li.

Next, X-Kira claims that Capcom will be implementing a new game mode that will allow us to battle with the NPC characters, such as the Shadaloo Dolls and Phantom Bison, as well as the enhanced CPU opponents from Extra Battle — like The Master Ryu, Ultra Heavyweight Champion Zangief, Shin Akuma, and Triggered Necalli — in Vs. CPU and Vs. Player matches. This certainly sounds like it could be a fun casual mode to enjoy with some friends.

The dataminer also claims that there will be a “double reveal” for Season 4, which will likely take place at next month’s Capcom Cup, and that “two Queens” will be joining the playable roster, and that “The Queen who all expect to be the first will be the last and the least expected will be the first. Double Queen.” He continues, saying that a “Tarot card will be one of the new moves,” seeming to hint at the potential arrival of Menat’s master Rose, who can be seen with a redesigned look in Menat’s Arcade ending, which X-Kira currently has as his profile picture. His banner also features a picture of Crimson Viper from Urien’s Character Story, implying that she may finally be joining the fray in Season 4. He also states that the Nostalgic Stages he posted about in the past are all still undergoing QA testing before an eventual release.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the dry spell of slow Fight Money acquisition could be coming to an end, as X-Kira claims that Capcom will be implementing a timer system that will reward you with increasing amounts of Fight Money the longer you play the game, in either offline or online modes, provided you stay logged into the CFN. You can see all of X-Kira’s Tweets below.

As always, take this information with a grain of salt, as none of it has been officially confirmed. However, with his ever-increasing great track record, it might be safe to keep some of this content in mind once Season 4 begins.

Tokyo lives and lets die in this Capcom vs. SNK 2 tournament at Club Sega Shinjuku

If old games never die, that rings doubly true in Japan, where games such as Capcom vs. SNK 2 still experience a dedicated and strong base of players who live to destroy people in their games of choice. One of the most notorious is D44BAS — a four time Evo champion in official games who continues to travel to play CvS2 on the regular.

Recently, he uploaded tournament footage from Club Sega Shinjuku in Tokyo, where a 16-man CvS2 tournament took place. With some high-level action from all players, including BAS himself, you’ll get a taste of the nasty K-Groove and A-Groove action you know you’ve been fiending for.

With the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Tour entering into the home stretch, this event would serve as an offline Dragon Radar Event for Europe, and the penultimate offline Dragon Radar Event for the remainder of the Tour. As always, the 50 mighty warriors that assembled would battle it out for a chance to attend one of the three remaining Saga Events of their choice, as both the Six and Seven Star Dragon Balls are still in play, along with at least two spots up for grabs at the Last Chance Qualifier at the Finals in January. Additionally, tournaments were also held for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition and Tekken 7.

FGC Philosophy talks about growth-oriented mindsets with Tekken 7 pro Lenell “L-Train” Dinkins

Hazardous Gaming’s Lenell “L-Train” Dinkins is a pro player from the Detroit scene most recently known for winning Youmacon Battle Opera 2018.  One of the reasons he’s reached that point is because of his focus on mental growth — and considering he started his experience in the FGC with an immediate $60 money match loss, it’s hard to think anything other than a strong will would have kept him around.

“Never feel like you’ve arrived” was advice from his father that L-Train has kept to his chest, and its core message is central to the conversation in his 30 minute interview with The Philocypher. Check out the podcast above for excellent advice on how to stay focused and improve in any game you play.

VesperArcade discusses potential changes to Akuma in Season 4 of Street Fighter V

While Akuma has been labelled as a top tier character in Street Fighter V, much of the evidence points to Tokido as the singular culprit of that perception. The character’s large amount of utility gives him many options, but makes him more difficult than other characters at the top echelon to play well — partnered with being a very powerful but very brittle glass cannon.

Akuma’s strength and tools still make for a very deadly character in the right hands, and VesperArcade and his guest Mir still consider him top tier. With this in mind, they talk about ways to balance out the character: primarily, they focus on the idea of a health reduction and the removal of his throw loop potential as a way to balance out his versatility and high degree of damage.
