Just a few short days ago, Skullgirls 2nd Encore made its way to the PlayStation Vita console. This long awaited port came fully-equipped with all additional content created for the game, including a handful of items not yet available to those of the PC ilk. But not to worry: the folks at Lab Zero have confirmed that PC players can look forward to picking up this full suite of content for themselves on April 13.

The DLC pack includes the following:

• Fully Voiced Story Mode: Skullgirls’ excellent cast of voice actors bring the story to life like never before!
• Challenges: Win a variety of challenging battles with unique conditions, and even play as Marie!
• Trials: Learn actually-useful combos, from basic bread n’ butter to more advanced ones!
• Survival Mode: Endless waves of enemies await – how long can you survive?
• All DLC characters: Squigly, Big Band, Eliza, Beowulf and Robo-Fortune!
• All DLC character colors: Brings all 14 characters up to 25 total character colors!

The DLC pack will run for $14.99, but early adopters–during the first week of sales–will be able to purchase it for %33 off, or roughly $10. Sadly, individual chunks of DLC cannot be purchased out of this package as single items.

Just a short while ago, Team Secret announced a new addition to their expanding player roster: Chung-gon “Poongko” Lee. He joins a number of other players from around the world representing Team Secret in Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and more.

Though he’s the first Street Fighter V player on the growing team, he isn’t the first player flying the Team Secret flag to represent fighting games, as Super Smash Bros. Melee player Otto “Silent Wolf” Bisno also signed on earlier this month.

Fans of Poongko’s wild style both in-game and out will certainly be pleased to see his face at more major events moving forward.

Picking out the perfect duds is an important part of any fight, and Street Fighter V has a massive variety of color options and costumes to choose from. However, many of these color options lie behind the dreaded gating system that is Survival Mode, while others cost a fair chunk of Fight Money to acquire.

Thanks to an enterprising PC player, folks can now take a look at all of the current costumes available for the game’s full roster without having to spend hours grinding, only to be disappointed with the results.

While last week’s King of Fighters XIV teaser focused on returning characters, this week’s is all about a pair of newcomers

Hailing from the company’s Dragon Gal pachislot game, Mui Mui makes an interesting addition due to her home series taking place in the past. This seems to line up with the leaked roster that indicates a team composed of characters from different franchises and time periods. Her moveset involves kung-fu attacks with fire effects, reflecting the fact that her clan carries dragon blood in their veins.

Speaking of the leaks, Kukri seems to fit “mysterious hooded man” mentioned in that list. He appears to take advantage of sand, manipulating the coarse substance for attacks and a teleport.

King of Fighters XIV launches on PlayStation 4 sometime this year.
