Capcom Pro Tour Player Analysis: Can Infiltration Still Infiltrate Capcom Cup?
Are you rooting for the Evo 2016 Champion to repeat the feat on Street Fighter V’s ultimate stage? Or are you backing another contender?

Light Up the Arena with These Chandelure Combos for Pokkén Tournament
This… thing is surely one of the strangest creatures in a modern fighting game. We can thank Pokkén Tournament for that, at least. I don’t main Chandelure, but seeing what… it is capable of piques my interest.

The Problem with The King of Fighters XIV’s Palette Selection: A Step Back for the Franchise
It can be fascinating to take a step back and have a look at a game from a different point of view, and with the help of Zidiane, this article let me do just that. I took a break from grinding my combos–I miss you already, pre-patch Love Heart–to have a think about the colors that I use for my characters.

F K Digital Releases Character Trailers for Chaos Code: New Sign of Catastrophe
I’m terrible at them, but I have a serious weakness for obscure anime fighting games, and boy do these Chaos Code trailers deliver.
