Brawlhalla dives onto PlayStation 4 on October 17th

After almost two years in Steam Early Access, Brawlhalla is ready to launch on both PC and PlayStation 4 on October 17th. The free-to-play platform fighter currently has 34 playable characters, with the cannon-wielding Corsair joining the roster on October 18th.

If players download the free-to-play version, they will access just a portion of the roster, but if you purchase the $19.99 All Legends Pack on Steam or the Founder’s Pack on PS4, you’ll gain access to all 34 characters, as well as any future editions.

With the Brawlhalla World Championship coming up later next month in Atlanta, now is the perfect time to jump in on the action. Cross-play between the PS4 and PC version is planned further down the line, so all players can compete against one another.

VesperArcade discusses Street Fighter V’s upcoming Arcade Mode features: leaderboards & monthly rewards

More tidbits on Street Fighter V‘s upcoming single-player content.

Continuing the discussion on Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition details as per what was shown at New York Comic Con, VesperArcade talks about new secondary features to be offered by the upcoming Arcade Mode: namely monthly leaderboards that will earn top players unique titles to slap onto their profile. It seems pretty clear that Capcom wants SFV’s Arcade Mode to offer more than a basic arcade ladder climb, and is providing incentives to draw players to the offline versus-CPU mode.

Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition hits PlayStation 4 and PC on January 18, 2018.

NorCal StrongStyle returns this coming February

One of the most celebrated competitions in competitive Tekken is none other than NorCal StrongStyle. This Tekken-exclusive event, hosted by Bronson Trans and his team, is one of the few that doesn’t come back on a yearly basis — and as such, its return is seen as a big deal. And return it will, as a teaser for a new StrongStyle has just been dropped by the organizers.

NorCal StrongStyle will finally return in February of next year. The event will take place on February 10 to 11, 2018, at the DoubleTree by the Hilton Hotel in San Jose, CA. The game featured at the event will be none other than Tekken 7, Bandai Namco’s latest entry into the series.

Unlike the previous StrongStyle, players will actually be able to watch this event live over the internet. Team Sp00ky and 10/0 will be handling streaming and production for the event for those who are unable to attend.

There are some durability issues with the Playstation 4 controller, and KS Tali provides the solution

People who have gone through a few PlayStation 4 controllers while trying to level up their game can certainly understand the frustration of having to buy pricey Dual Shock 4 controllers on a regular basis. The controller certainly has some durability issues, and the culprit seems to lie in the build on their directional pad.

As KS Tali noticed when he cracked open his controller, he found that there were key difference in the build between the PS3 and PS4 directional pads. While the PS4 pad has small holes for the rubber contact sheet to fit into — making them more stable within the casing — there are issues with perforation around the contacts that cause them to fall apart quickly. His solution was to line up a PS4 contact sheet with a PS3 contact sheet, poke the required holes into the PS3 contact sheet, and place that into his PS4 controller — thus making his PS4 controller much more durable.

Pictures showing the differences are shown below.
