Zarina Makes Her Debut Alongside Nelson and Bandeiras in King of Fighters XIV’s Latest Team Trailer

While the rest of the world is eagerly awaiting the latest Street Fighter V update, SNK has quietly slipped out one of their weekly team trailers for the King of Fighters XIV. This time, they’re focusing on Team South America’s Nelson, Bandeiras Hattori, and Zarina.

We’ve already seen a lot of Nelson and Bandeiras footage, however this marks the first time that we’re seeing the capoeirista, Zarina, in action. She represents only the second character to use that style (the first being Momoko from KoF XI) and brings with her a varied array of multi-hitting kicks that seem to lead to some decent juggles.

The King of Fighters XIV hits PlayStation 4 on August 23.

Street Fighter V Matchmaking Servers Coming Down for Pre-Patch Maintenance

Street Fighter V’s long-awaited Cinematic Story Mode expansion is almost upon us. With that in mind, Capcom will be shutting down the game’s online matchmaking servers to apply some necessary updates.

According to the Street Fighter V Server Twitter account, the servers will be subject to a massive 10-hour maintenance period from 2:00 PM PDT on June 30 until 12:00 AM PDT on July 1.

During this time, online play will be unavailable; Fight Money acquisition will also be disabled. That said, offline play is still possible and any events running the game during this time will be unaffected.
