Everyone has a fighting chance
If you love dinosaurs and you love MMORPGs, you will probably be happy to hear that Nexon’s Durango: Wild Lands will be coming out for Android devices in May. At this point, this is only confirmed for Indonesia, but it is likely that this is a “soft launch” prior to worldwide release at a later date.
If you haven’t made the jump into playing as Oswald yet in The King of Fighters XIV, then you’re not playing with a full deck! Outside of his excellent damage, Oswald possess a unique and versatile set of pokes and specials, as detailed by Apolo Loussalier below.
Oswald controls space well with his assortment of wide-swinging normals, and is able to apply insane pressure thanks to Max Mode rekka mixups. If you like to control a match with style, it’s time to go all-in with Oswald.

Established in 2000, Texas Showdown is back for its 19th installment this year and — like the state itself — looks to be bigger than ever. Taking place at the Hilton Post Oak in Houston May 4-6, this year’s event will feature 14 main games, with the lineup being as follows:
In addition, there will be a cosplay contest, a “Battle for Texas” 3V3 SFVAE Team Battle event to determine which region of the state is supreme, and the upcoming SoulCalibur VI will be available for attendees to get their hands on.
But you better act quickly to get in on the action, as Online Registration for the event ends tonight at 11:59 PM CT. Emergency on-site registration will be available on May 4th until 9:00 PM, but will see the fee increase from $55 to $70, and you will be both unseeded and either given byes in your bracket or placed into a “death pool.”
Registration (via smash.gg,) is available at txshowdown.com/Home/Register.

After the release of the 3.0 patch, SNK announced that they were releasing yet another patch to smooth out a few issues in that update. Now, The King of Fighters XIV version 3.01 is here, and it does exactly that.
The 3.01 update for The King of Fighters XIV concerns itself with fixing some unintended move interactions. These include some oddities involving the moves of new characters Oswald, Heidern, and Blue Mary. In addition to them, older characters King and Robert Garcia have some glitches fixed as well.
For those interested in the exact details of these changes, you can check out the (thankfully short) change log over at the official site.

The soul still burns, and IGN knows this. With SoulCalibur VI being as highly-anticipated as it is, gameplay footage is always interesting to see.
IGN has given us a load of it with this two-hour stream they did earlier in the week. We get a glimpse of every character playable within the build they used — minus the recently-announced Siegfried and Geralt — and see a lot of the offensive and defensive capabilities built within the system. The game shows off some of the mechanics introduced in the last iteration, while maintaining the depth of moves from earlier titles, making the pain of anticipation all the more keen.

Netmarble is getting ready to unleash Iron Throne, an upcoming mobile title that it calls a next generation MMORTS. Not only will it allow strategic MMO gameplay with a “unique heroes system”, but it will feature both Team Deathmatch and Battle Royale. Interested players can register on the official site to be notified in advance when the mobile title will be launching sometime in May.
Several months back, Daigo the BeasTV dropped a surprise trailer for what seemed to be a little indie film called 9road. At the time, little was known about the project other then its leading stars — including FGC legends such as Kuroda and Eita — were acting in roles that referenced the Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike universe.
If you had any thought in your mind that this project would somehow eventually tie to the 3rd Strike gameplay of Kuroda’s excellent Q, then the latest trailer will likely change your mind:
Clocking in at a hefty 14 minutes, this trailer leans heavily on the dark and weird 3rd Strike-inspired world and makes it clear that it is, first and foremost, its own story. 9road is a strange project for FGC alumni, and a strange source of inspiration for a serious indie film — it’ll be exciting to see how these two worlds collide in the finished project.

Do you want a constant, physical reminder of Ryu’s tier placement in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition? Do you need to transfer files? Do you need to transfer a file about Ryu’s pitiable tier placement? If any of the aforementioned rings true (or, hell, I dunno, maybe you just like Ryu), then BigBoysToys has an amusing flash drive for you:
Bigboystoys Street Fighter “You Lose” 32gb USB flash drive is coming in June!!! #capcom#streetfighterii
#youlose#ryu#youlose pic.twitter.com/GIA73TUgRL— BigBoysToys (@BigBoysToys_HK) April 20, 2018
From the same Hong Kong based designers that brought you “The New Challenger” line of toys, the 32 gigabye “You Lose” flash drive appears to be a one-off item at the moment. But if it does well when it releases this June, don’t be surprised if all your favorite World Warriors’ K.O. poses become vehicles for your very important documents, Street Fighter-related or otherwise.

Following confirmation that Fused Zamasu is going to be the third DLC character in Dragon Ball FighterZ, his scan from the most recent issue of V-Jump magazine has been translated by ShonenGameZ, enlightening us more about the semi-Immortal god’s play-style.
After noting that he’ll be officially referred to in-game as Zamasu (Fusion) the scan notes that, “He’ll play somewhat differently than any of the current characters released.” This is largely in part to the fused deity’s ability to float, similar to BlazBlue’s Izanami. This gives him access to an 8-way airdash, providing him with unequaled aerial mobility. When mixed with Assists and Vanishes, this could prove quite terrifying for any pathetic mortals who dare to impede his holy plans for a utopia.
Furthermore, his Level 1 Super, “Holy Wrath”, sees Zamasu fire a large amount of energy from his fingertips. Shonen notes, “this is an ideal move for closing out your attacks!” Based on that description and the provided photos, I suspect this Super will gain increased hits and damage with falling momentum, similar to Frieza’s “Death Ball”, Goku Black’s “Holy Light Grenade” and Broly’s “Gigantic Meteor”, making it the ideal final attack during an Ultimate Z-Change.
His Level 3 Meteor Special is the Lighting Of Absolution, which sees Zamasu “bring forth a giant figure spreading its wings. This Meteor Special is a wide area attack that fires lightning.” He also appears to have the “Blades of Judgment” in his arsenal. Lastly, we learn that more information about this release will be revealed in the next issue of V-Jump, which should release around a month from now — possibly even with the official announcement of the other leaked character: Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegito. You can see the full translated scan below:
Zamasu (Fusion) can be purchased individually for $4.99 as part of DLC 2, or as part of the FighterZ Pass, which also has Bardock, Broly, and five other unannounced DLC characters for $34.99. Dragon Ball FighterZ is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam PC in North America, Europe and Japan.
