The Universal Fighting System has added another brutal franchise to its ever-expanding universe.

You can now play out your own version of “Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat” — and throw Darkstalkers, Mega Man, and other properties into the fray as well. The Mortal Kombat X card game is currently available from Jasco Games, publishers of the Street Fighter card game that debuted last year. Both Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat X games are part of Jasco’s UFS (Universal Fighting System) family of collectible card games, meaning that you can play them on their own, or mix the worlds together in weird and wild combinations.

Check out Jasco Games’ official website for more information. You’ll find the UFS Mortal Kombat X card game — and the Street Fighter UFS game as well — where collectible card games are sold.

Thanks to its patch earlier this month, players are now trying out a lot of new things in Dragon Ball FighterZ. One such player is veteran combo video maker Clayton “Final Showdown” Chapman, who’s already put out a large number of videos exploring the game.

One of the characters that Final Showdown has done a lot of research on in Dragon Ball FighterZ‘s latest patch is Piccolo. The changes made to the Namek have allowed him to do a lot with his orbs. The videos below from Final Showdown show more of he can do with the orbs, as well as explore Piccolo’s maximum damage potential of a bread-and-butter combo.

Now, one of the characters who’s received a lot of attention post patch is Frieza. The character got a number of changes, including — but not limited to — a buffed Golden Frieza mode, that has opened new doors to damage for the character.

One of the more interesting fighting games in development right now is Arc System Works and APlus Games’s Kill la Kill: The Game. Based on the hit anime series from Studio Trigger, the game is an arena fighter, something that’s quite different from ArcSys’s usual 2D fighting fare.

We’ve already learned quite a bit about of Kill la Kill: The Game, including details about the “Ketsui Hyoumei Enzetsu” speech combat system. Now, we get to see this in action thanks to this new video from IGN.

In addition to showing off the aforementioned gameplay systems, the video below also showcases how ArcSys and APlus have taken a lot of inspiration from the anime, similar to the former’s work on Dragon Ball FighterZ.

Kill la Kill: The Game is coming to PlayStation 4, and PC sometime in 2019.

“I don’t care that he doesn’t have a reversal!”

Tyrant and PackZ are back with the latest episode of Frame Advantage, and today they are breaking down the toolkit of President of the World: G.

Now that the character has been out for two weeks, the British pros feel they have a handle on what G is about — and it certainly seems like he’s about anything he wants to be. Drawing parallels to when Abigail was first introduced, G is a well-rounded powerhouse that breaks the rules of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition with his multiple air options, anti-cross up tools, and more. If you’re looking for political power in the tournament scene, G is a good place to start!

Are you a fan of former Evo champion Fuudo? If so, you’ll want to check out the latest Fuudo highlight reel from Capcom Fighters — with a little bit of Esports Hong Kong Festival 2018 thrown in for variety.

We kid, a bit, but Fuudo’s R. Mika was on fire at EHKF2018. He was ready for every small situation that could possibly arise, and these crazy spots led to his first major victory in this year’s CPT events. Check out the absurd super conversion from V-Trigger against NL in Winner’s Finals!

In light of Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection‘s release, I’ve been bombarded with requests to do some Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike character tutorials. It warms my heart to think that people want to learn my favorite title in the franchise even twenty years down the line, so I’m only happy to oblige. I’ve done Ryu and Ken so far, and my latest video now covers Alex, the stated protagonist of 3rd Strike. Alex has a very unusual and versatile toolset, with high damage, high dizzy output, and a rushdown/mix-up playstyle representing Street Fighter III’s gameplay shift on the whole. Alex is a very popular character despite middling tournament success over the lifespan of the game. He’s built around making reads, pursuing aggressive parries, and capitalizing on momentum. He’s also simple and easy to pick up, which I think makes him a decent entry point to the SFIII series.

This video is part of a series of Street Fighter III character tutorials, so subscribe to the ShoryukenTube YouTube channel if you don’t want to miss out!

Here’s a link to a playlist for all characters I’ve covered thus far.
