Arc System Works recently revealed some new details regarding the story of Kill la Kill the Game: IF. Specifically, the game will feature an original story starring Satsuki Kiryuin, series deuteragonist and rival of Ryuko Matoi.

The new story is being penned by none other than the original writer of the Kill la Kill anime, Studio Trigger’s Kazuki Nakashima. The story diverges from the original plot Kill la Kill, around the middle of the anime’s story.

As part of this new story, Satsuki gains a new costume called “Junketsu Shinzui”. The new costume, designed by Shigeto Koyama with touch-ups by Kill la Kill character designer Sushio, is meant to be Satsuki’s counterpart to the “Senketsu Kisaragi” that Ryuko wore during the latter part of the anime.

Interestingly enough, “Junketsu Shinzui” was an unused design that was originally shown in one of the art books released for the series. In fact, the silhouette of the design that ArcSys has released (which you can see below) does seem to be based on that unused design.

Lots of new content is coming for Street Fighter today.

It’s one of those Tuesdays for Street Fighter V: expect to see online functions shut down between 11:00 AM PT and 5:00 PM PT to accommodate some new stuff being added:

We will perform server maintenance from 11am to 5pm on 9/25 PDT. (9/25 6pm to 9/26 12am UTC) Thank you for your patience and support

— SFV Server Status (@SFVServer) September 24, 2018

The stuff in question this time are a swath of Premium DLC costumes — offering a new selection of Darkstalkers outfits (for Chun-Li, Ed, and Menat again) and this year’s batch of Halloween costumes (this time for Guile, Abigail, Kolin, and Falke) — and the new Dojo system, which will allow players to team up in their own Dojos, along with their own customized Dojo stages.

Following Cammy’s foray into survival horror, Capcom is “switching gears” for the next unlockable costume in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition‘s Extra Battle mode.

Let's configure something a bit different and switch gears. ?

The next costume for Extra Battle Mode is Mech Zangief, beginning on September 27! pic.twitter.com/t0sQqZZkID

— Street Fighter (@StreetFighter) September 24, 2018

It’s clear from the teaser image that Mech Zangief has seen some upgrades in his armor — and flight capabilities — since the costume’s last appearance (below) in Super Street Fighter IV as an alternate for regular ‘Gief. It also confirms Mech Zangief’s role as a Shadaloo-developed anti-Zangief weapon, made clear by the Shadaloo crest on robo-gief’s chest. Different versions of Mech Zangief appear as far back as Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter.

You can get started on collecting the four pieces of this costume in Extra Battle starting on September 27th. You’ll need to earn all four pieces over the next four weeks, and each attempt at each challenge will cost you 2500 Fight Money.

A new show launches tomorrow to keep you in the Street Fighter loop.

Capcom has announced that a new stream show will launch tomorrow, September 25 — and continue weekly, on Tuesday nights — dubbed Capcom Connect, and it aims to provide a recap of new Street Fighter happenings alongside new content. The show will stream from Esports Arena Oakland, premiering tomorrow night at 8:00 PM PT on the Capcom Fighters Twitch channel.

The stream will feature event and news recaps, Street Fighter V matches with guest players (and potentially with unusual rules), and art and cosplay from Street Fighter fans. You can also win content codes by viewing. From Andy Wong’s Capcom-Unity announcement:

You will have the chance to win various codes for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition just by watching and interacting with our social channels. In the afternoon before each show, we’ll tweet out a specific hashtag on the Street Fighter or Capcom Fighters Twitter account. All you need to do is use that hashtag in a tweet of your own before the drawing begins at around 8:15 PM PT. During the show, we’ll randomly choose winners and announce them on-stream. After the show, expect a Direct Message from the Street Fighter or Capcom Fighters accounts with your code. The codes are currently only for North America.

If you’re an artist or cosplayer, tweet @StreetFighter with pictures of your creation and we just might feature it on the stream with all credit going towards you!

With its recent announcement, many people are speculating on who will be included in Samurai Shodown‘s cast. Now, a known source has not only leaked possible characters for Samurai Shodown, but future DLC characters for SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy as well.

DasVergeben (who hinted at the existence of the new Samurai Shodown months ago) has given out the identities of two characters being added to SNK’s Samurai Shodown revival: Rimururu and Shiki. Of these two, it’s the latter whose inclusion is interesting, seeing as she’s never actually been in a 2D Samurai Shodown game, despite being popular enough to be included in crossovers such as SvC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom and NEO GEO Battle Coliseum.

In addition to this, he mentions while he hasn’t been told about the full roster, he can confirm that it will include characters not shown in the painting in the announce trailer.

As for SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy, he mentions that the remaining DLC characters for the game will be a female Skullomania, Miss X (Iori’s cross dressing alter-ego from SNK Gals Fighters), and Janne d’Arc from World Heroes.

Finally, he states that SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is a “side project” for SNK. The two main games they’re working on are Samurai Shodown and the as of yet un-announced The King of Fighters XV, which is still very early in development.

Of course, regardless of DasVergeben’s track record, we do encourage our readers to take all leaks with a grain of salt.

After the Capcom Pro Tour Japanese Premier finals finished up at Tokyo Game Show, Ono came on stage to announce that Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition would be arriving in Japanese Arcades sometime next year.

While already three years into the game’s lifespan, this could provide a strong resurgence in the Japanese player-base considering their original roots with the franchise. The game cabinet will be played on Vewlix hardware,and have a USB slot for those who may prefer playing on a traditional console gamepad or their own arcade stick.

Lastly, the slides detailed a planned Location Test for the release October 5th-7th, of this year. Considering the way Capcom has handled location tests with previous titles, one has to wonder if a balance update is also in the works for the game. Although much more pertinent to Japan, it’s exciting for Street Fighter fans the world over that Capcom has found the support to finally bring their newest entry into the series to the arcades they called home for the past few decades, and can hopefully bolster a rekindled passion for the game going forward!

I don’t know what it’s like to find out what your expiration date is, and to know that it’s soon. I imagine, to handle that information, requires a great deal of strength, reflection, and maturity. On the other side, to respect someone going through something like terminal cancer, such as what Smash player Chris “SpookyWoobler” Taylor currently faces, requires maturity as well. And empathy. Real, red-blooded human empathy.

That isn’t a quality usually assigned to mega corporations, but let it be said unequivocally — whatever individuals heard about Chris’s story at Nintendo: they have that empathetic quality and maturity.

After surviving and beating back cancer treatment three times, Chris received the news that there was nothing left to do about Round 4, and that he had lost. Some months later, he expressed his very understandable fear that he might not make it to see Super Smash Brothers Ultimate‘s release. This, through the strange power of Twitter, made its way to Nintendo themselves, whom showed up with an E3 build at his doorstep and gave him and two close friends a few hours with the game itself.

This story was originally reported and organized by Nintendo Everything, and can be read over on their site.

Good on Nintendo for setting an example. We don’t know how many other gaming companies could or would organize such an act of empathy. Preferably, let’s never have to find out.
