TFG Presents: SFV
Beta #3 - Birdie Combo Act
|
|
|
To celebrate the return of the SFV
beta, Fighters Generation presents a new Birdie combo
video. It's a quick CMV at only 4-minutes, but yours truly runs through some
of Birdie's new combos, from beginner to advanced. In SFV so far, it seems I've
been partial to returning Street Fighter veterans... especially those who
haven't been in the spotlight very often. I'll probably keep this trend going.
Stay tuned for more SFV vids coming to TFG's Youtube Channel!

Regardless of first impressions,
the hype of KOF XIV is slowly intensifying. The graphics obviously aren't
perfect at such an early stage, but they've definitely improved. Judging from
the first gameplay

17th-20th
|
|
|
Early this morning, the SFV
beta on PS4 updated to version 1.06 (with a 2.26 GB update file). The update
says "fixed various issues," but considering the file size, it's
likely that Capcom added new characters & stages for the next beta. That
said, Capcom confirmed the SFV beta will be live once again on Dec.
17-20. Keep in mind additional "stress tests" could also pop up before
then. An update file for the PC version also exists, which hints towards
cross-play for next beta.

"Markman" Julio just confirmed on Twitter
that there will indeed be a major announcement of some kind... and all we know
is that it has to do with TEKKEN. Console date for T7? Arcade
expansion? Both? Tekken X SF? It's less than 12 days away! Watch the

Fighting games and
pro-wrestling have had a deep-rooted bond since the very beginning of the genre.
We're used to seeing fighting game characters paying homage to various WWE
icons, but we're definitely not used to hearing words like "EVO",
"Final Round ATL" and "Street Fighter" on Monday
Night Raw. In case you don't know, New Day's Xavier Woods has his own
Youtube gaming channel (UpUpDownDown) and clearly loves his Street Fighter...

now... TEKKEN's original TaeKwonDo Master, Baek
Doo San (proving that he is indeed the real world Mokujin). Without further

Project Soul chimed in
today to confirm that service has ended for their free-to-play, 1-player
fighting game experiment, Soul Calibur: Lost Swords. On a brighter note,
Project Soul also asked fans to "look forward to the next
announcement" on the official Soul Calibur Facebook
page. After the lackluster SC: Lost Swords, and controversial (but still
pretty decent) Soul Calibur 5, one would hope for a Soul Calibur 6
announcement sometime in the near future. ;)

Capcom's
Yoshinori Ono recently spoke with Eurogamer about Street Fighter V.
Topics include the projected lifespan of the new series, and why an arcade
version isn't planned. For starters, Ono confirmed
that Capcom's goal is to meet SFIV's lifespan and success with SFV.
"Simple math suggests it'd take five years to get to the roster of [Ultra]
Street Fighter 4, and we want to keep the game going for that amount of
time."

Capcom promised early on
that Street Fighter V (as a series) is planned to have a long lifespan,
and players will "only have to purchase one disk" to enjoy new content
once it's released. Capcom's Matt Dahlgren reaffirmed this in a recent interview
with Gamespot, replying "Yes" when asked if a second wave of DLC is
planned after the first 6 DLC fighters are added to the launch roster. If you
did the math, that means SFV will have "over 22" fighters, at
least.

As SFV is still in beta
form, many changes before the final version are to be expected. The latest
visual alterations making waves around the internets are "toned down"
camera angles of R. Mika's Critical Art & Cammy's Intro in the latest build.
R. Mika's comical (yet risque) "butt slap" before her critical art
can no longer be seen in the frame, and Cammy's intro no longer provides a

how much work was required to bring the Vita version up to optimization

he performed the same combos in KOF XIII while providing an ultra-convenient side by
side comparison. As you can see while watching the video, the speed and
animation of moves and combos (by Kyo & Leona in this example) are more
similar than you might've originally thought!

It seems Capcom can't hide much
of anything regarding Street Fighter V, as the latest data mining reveals
crisp audio files of current and "post launch" character names.
Following the leaked list from months ago, names include: Alex, Urien, Juri,
Ibuki, Guile, & Balrog, along with a mysterious name which sounds like
"Fan" or "Fun". The audio files also include the names of
future Capcom Pro Tour Events. Head over to Shoryuken.com
to listen to all of the discovered audio. (Source:

Former Street
Fighter IV Battle Designer is Directing The
King of
Fighters XIV
|
|
|
Details behind The
King of Fighters XIV are slowly unraveling.... It's been confirmed that
Yasuyuki Oda (SF4 battle designer, Super SF4 game
designer, and SF4: Arcade Edition director) will be directing KOF 14.
Before joining Dimps to work on Street Fighter 4, Oda was employed by SNK
from 1993-2000. That said, those speculating that KOF 14 might have some SF4
influences would be correct. Expect further KOF14 details in early
December! (Sources: DreamCancel,

SFV
PC Version Data Mining Possibly Confirms Previously Leaked Character Roster
|
|
|
Back in June, a leaked
"full" SFV roster hit the web (but was quickly removed).
However, the legitimacy of this list has only solidified with time, as it
originally contained: Karin, R. Mika, Rashid, Laura, Zangief & Dhalsim, long
before they were officially revealed. Recent PC data mining from the SFV
beta has uncovered names of the leftover characters from this list (and then
some), including: Alex, Urien, Juri, Ibuki & Balrog. A new character named
"Zen" is also rumored.

The King of Fighters 14 was
first announced at last month's Tokyo Game Show. While that TGS '15 teaser

TFG's latest exclusive
Street Fighter V video is live! Thanks to the SFV beta going live a
day early on PS4, yours truly was able to put together a 9-minute R. Mika combo
video in 2 days time (definitely a record for me). As an old school SFA3
R. Mika player, it was an easy choice on who to main in the second SFV beta
phase. R. Mika is still an amazing and dynamic fighter in SFV with some
truly epic combo possibilities! Hope you enjoy my latest combo vid!

set to debut Laura's reveal trailer at the Brazil Game Show this weekend, but...

Raw Gameplay
Footage of Street
Fighter V
Zangief
|
|
|
The first
"over-the-shoulder cam" gameplay
footage of Zangief in Street Fighter V has been uploaded to Youtube. The
quality isn't great, but you can definitely check out most f Zangief's normals,
special throws, and V-Trigger "super armor" ability. One thing's for
sure, he's not the same old Gief (even though his appearance hasn't changed
much). I was expecting gray hair at least.

Hot on the heels of
Zangief's SFV reveal, it appears that another new Street Fighter V
character has been confirmed (via Famitsu leak)! The previous rumor of a new
Brazilian fighter seems to have been proven true, as Laura appears to use some
Jujitsu and possibly even a bit of Capoeira in her fighting style. Check out the
10 leaked screenshots and
judge for yourself.
