At least in the hands of TerrenceJohnson12 and if you follow his tutorial then all of Doom’s powers can be yours too. Check out the video below for amazing damage, resets and more!
Ha-toon-ken!
Apr 28th
It’s like a Saturday morning cartoon come to life! (Yes we’re completely ignoring the Street Fighter cartoon, that never existed okay? Good.) These were done by maniac086, pretty sweet!
EGM interviews Ono and Killian!
Apr 28th
Electronic Gaming Monthly has been going digital for a few issues now and in the latest one there is a great interview with Yoshinori Ono and Seth Killian about Street Fighter X Tekken. It’s not too heavy on the details but at this point it’s always great to read up on the development process of what will undoubtedly be one of the greatest fighting games, not to mention a monumental and epic collaboration between Capcom and Namco. You can read the interview here: EGM interviews Ono and Killian.
Cute little animal fighters!
Apr 27th
Chun Li is a cute bunny while Eddie Honda is a fat pig, guess there’s an animal inside all of them really. This anthropomorphism was done by Chie Yamamoto Boyd, perhaps there should be a special barn-yard stage for them to fight on…

Daigo playing as Yun
Apr 22nd
While we can’t all be as masterful as Daigo Umehara when it comes to Street Fighter but at least there are a few combos you can pick up for Yun when Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition comes to the consoles!
SF X Tekken early impressions
Apr 22nd
Also while out at Captivate Ryan King from Play magazine sat down to play some Street Fighter X Tekken, and he took notes. Then he used those notes to write a pretty comprehensive report on how the gameplay and different characters work, it’s great because he knows what he’s talking about:
“You can cancel moves into a tag at the cost of a single bar. So with Ryu, you can do a Shoryuken and cancel that into a tag, for the new character to either continue the combo (should the Shoryuken connect) or get Ryu out of trouble (if the Shoryuken is blocked).”

Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version!
Apr 21st
After years of waiting, the new instalment of Mega Man Legends draws closer with Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version! Available as a download, Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version will be a launch title when Nintendo eShop opens for business.
Mega Man Legends 3 is the first Capcom game to be co-developed by the fans. Prototype Version gives players the first taste of Mega Man’s upcoming open-world action/adventure game, and lets them see a game still early in the development process. It also introduces a new character to the franchise, the reckless leader of a sky biker gang, Barrett.
Be the first to try out his new close combat gameplay style, and see first-hand some of the fan contributions to the game come to life. Also, once you have finished the core missions, receive access to areas of the game not yet finished, as well as a debug menu that gives you special moves and abilities.
Once you experience the game, let your voice be heard by heading to www.capcom-unity.com/devroom and join the community of Servbots who are helping design the game. Get insight into what it takes to build a game, learn about the development process, and interact with the members of the Development Team themselves. But most importantly, be creative. No matter how large or small your idea is, you have the chance to see it come to life and get your name in the credits of the game!
Monkeying around with Dan
Apr 21st
Dan is the perennial underdog in Street Fighter, but despite his goofiness Snoooootch here shows that he can actually be played with some skill to prove that the Saikyo style is the best! …even if it’s not.
