Quick Fighting Game News – 02/10/11
Yes. Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition has been confirmed to have Evil Ryu and Oni (Shin Akuma). Crazy. There are a bunch of videos on YouTube should you feel so inclined too.
If you like the Mad Catz Tournament Stick and want to use it for the upcoming Mortal Kombat, you can. They’re releasing a new FightStick panel that is more suitable to the traditional MK button layout.
Speaking of Mortal Kombat, Liu Kang was recently added to the roster. No surprise there. He’s like the Ryu of the series. That’s in addition to Kratos, Goro, and Jade, though some DLC characters are possible too. The release date’s been set for April 19, 2011.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is shaping up to be even more interesting. As it turns out, you’ll actually get items that you can use to attack your opponent. There’s also something called “rage mode” that functions differently for each character. They’re also include destructible environments, it seems, as you can break walls. The new character above, a female luchadore (luchadora?) who plays much like El Fuerte or El Blaze, is named JayCee (or possibly JC).
Oh, and what else? Right. MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 3 IS GETTING RELEASED NEXT WEEK! I can’t wait! Check out the Akuma montage and Galactus boss videos below.

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Trailer Reveals New Challengers
We’ve already seen her in action, but it’s still pretty awesome to get some official unveiling-ship for Crimson Viper (C.Viper of Super Street Fighter IV fame) in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The trailer below doesn’t really show any actual gameplay, but it’s still positively epic. Especially Arthur.
And in case you didn’t notice, Felicia and She-Hulk make their debuts in this video too. Exciting stuff!
