  1. New review! Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter
    (PC, 1997, Capcom)

    This week, Ellie steps into the ring once more to finish up the last pre-Marvel vs. Capcom game as Marvel and Street Fighter collide again.

  2. Silly idea:

    The final fight in "Aliens": Ripley in the loader mech vs. the Alien Queen. But as a 2D fighting game, perhaps like Mortal Kombat, with low-pixel digitalized photos 😀

    I just watched that movie, probably the first time this century. And during that scene I thought, wow, that looks like a fighting game 😅

  3. It’s at the same time funny and a bit sad the idea that SF6 brings “virtual arcade” as a feature of its online lobby.

    Funny because it’s honestly a nice idea, but sad because it highlights how the arcade culture is pretty much dead or dying.

    As much as I love the convenience of playing online from my couch, I kind of miss the experience of feeding a coin to the machine and having to make it worth, seeing how far I could go with whatever money I had on my pockets after going out, hoping that no one would bother showing up to challenge me… it was a different feeling.

    As for the challenges, also that was a whole other experience . There were always people around and it was interesting to play against them. Not a random name online, but a whole person with a face you could see, who maybe would take a few seconds on the beginning of a round to try some new combo or even teach something they had learned over the last few days.

    After a while you’d get to know the other regulars and knew when someone was coming your way if it meant a fun and balanced challenge, an easy win or an absolutely devastating humiliation.

  4. It's been AGES since I've last played any fighting game, but one episode of "Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games" was enough to get me really on the fence about buying SF6.

    Trying my best to convince me it's not worth it, but Amazon selling the game with Year 1 and Year 2 character packs for 30 euros isn't making my self-convincing any easier.

  5. The King of Fighters

    I recently became interested in The King of Fighters (KOF) series. I had heard about the series before, but somehow I never tried it. I've been playing KOF '98, 2002 and XV. The character rosters are huge. I like KOF '98 the best and XV the least. 1) Screenshot of The King of Fighters '98 character roster. As to why the interest now? I'm not sure, but I think SNK has been on the news a lot: a) I got KOF XV in PS Plus in July 2025. b) The Neo Geo AES console from SNK is going to get a […]

  7. Battle Arena Toshinden Ura on the Sega Saturn is hiding some cheats like its prequel, but the ones Bo Bayles found are a little ... more silly. See what he dug up on Under the Microscope:

  8. Guess #ProjectL took the literal L.

    #Riot laid off half studio (80~ guys) to keep the game "sustainable". That's corpo speak to say the game is dead and frozen.

    Not surprising after a decade of development, and low numbers after their release 3 weeks ago, and the niche nature of a fighting gaming.

    Wonder what's next to keep pursuing the #LiveService carrot. A Battle Royale?

  9. A summer 1997 release in Japan, Aorn’s Rabbit is a 2D versus fighting game similar in feel to the Street Fighter 2 series. The visuals are very colorful and the action zooms in and out as characters approach each other or pull back. Give Rabbit a try… It’s fun!

  10. Finally, we can settle the ultimate debate: Aang vs. Korra! An Avatar fighting game, 'Avatar Legends,' is slated for Summer 2026.

    Promising 12 launch characters, crossplay, and a focus on fluid combat, it's aiming for that classic fighting game energy. Will this finally be the Avatar game we deserve?
