Welcome to the Rollback: a frame-by-frame look back at our past week’s most notable news — and our favorite SRK articles — from November 30 to December 6, 2018!

Frame 1:
Cower in fear of all of The Walking Dead references in Negan’s Tekken 7 reveal trailer
The portion of the Venn diagram where fans of The Walking Dead meet fans of Tekken 7 got a real treat in Negan’s gameplay reveal trailer; if you want to verify you caught all of the little nods to the TV show, have a look at this.
Frame 2:
Here are the finalized brackets for Capcom Cup 2018
The last big hurrah for Street Fighter V in 2018 is kicking off today with its Last Chance Qualifier. Here are the starting points for the best of the best in SFV this year for the final showdown.
Frame 3:
Wizzrobe shows how to wavedash perfectly in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
The new Smash is now out in the wild — and the classic mechanic has returned, after a fashion.
I literally think this is the worst design decision Capcom has implemented in SFV. When the only good thing about a game function is that you can turn it off, that should be the first clue it’s a terrible idea…
Frame 5:
2B from NieR: Automata cuts her way into SoulCalibur VI on December 18
… On the other side, instead of adding hideous ads to their game, Bandai Namco are bringing us bad-ass sword-swinging androids. You know, content that actually improves the game?

Frame 1:
Namco reveals SoulCalibur VI version 1.10 patch notes for December 17th
I might have one or two things I disagree with in the proposed changes, but overall this is one of Namco’s most thoughtful balance patches in Calibur history.
Frame 2:
Warner Bros. announces fan art project “MK Kollective” for Mortal Kombat 11
There’s some surprisingly high-profile acts acting as ambassadors on this project. I’m looking forward to it!
Input lag just keeps increasing with new iterations of games, and I wonder what the “breaking point” will be.
Frame 4:
MikeZ demonstrates game-breaking super flash glitch in SNES version of Street Fighter Alpha 2
This is the sort of wild glitch that is only possible thanks to the limitations of the past. I love it.
Frame 5:
Italian GameStop website appears to leak details of Mortal Kombat 11’s Premium Edition
I want to play as Shao Khan right now. All of you, get out of the way.
