Street Fighter IV and King of Fighter XII News (03/26/09)
Street Fighter IV
Does that video above impress you? It should, because it’s from the Street Fighter IV National Finals in Korea. This is the best of the best going at it in one of the greatest fighting games our generation has ever seen. Street Fighter IV has really re-ignited interest in fighting games and, more specifically, fighting game tournaments.
Speaking of videos, check out this one filled with simultaneous super and ultra moves from the same character. Some cancel out completely; others result in equal damage.
If you’re tired of Tea House and the Beach, then you’ll want the new Street Fighter iGoogle themes. I’m rocking the Street Fighter theme myself and it’s pretty awesome.
Do you have a favorite Street Fighter IV character? How does he or she stack up against the competition. An updated ranking chart has been released, showing us that this game is very balanced. Sagat still sits at the top of the heap, but I’m a little upset to see how low Guile and E.Honda have been placed.
King of Fighters XII
If you’re more into the SNK side of the versus fighting games equation, you’ll be glad to hear that King of Fighters XII has finally received an official US launch date. The hand-drawn gorgeousness of KOF12 is scheduled to hit retailers on July 7th. They’re also planning a tournament in Los Angeles that will likely coincide with the release.
