Zero3japan uploaded nearly an hour's worth of a-cho King of Fighters XIII matches for your viewing pleasure. The whole thing kicks off with a pretty entertaining match between an Andy, Terry, Kula team against K', Raiden and Shen, with many more solid matches following.
If you haven't had the chance to see all of the changes introduced in yesterday's patch in action, Desk put together a video that should get you up to speed on what all has changed. At the end of the video he notes that both C. Viper and Chun-Li's infinites are still in, but considering what they've addressed so far, it's likely only a matter of time before those get the axe as well.

Users are reporting that Marvel vs Capcom 3 received a patch early this morning, and a couple of changes have been noticed by the community so far. Players were stating that Zero's snapback glitch was removed and Captain America's infinite was also removed.
As you'll see in the video below (courtesy of RobertHollow), when Zero performs a snapback with Sougenmu activated, the snapback instantly deactivates Sougenmu entirely. The video also shows how Captain America's Shield Slash launches the opponent higher, putting a stop to the infinite.
If you spot any other changes, let us know in the comments!

While I've been playing a ton of Marvel vs Capcom 3 lately, I've actually been wanting to get back into some good ole fashioned Street Fighta' Fo'. Once the DLC hits I'll definitely be back in it, playing a lot of Makoto, but I have to say Oni is looking pretty interesting as well.
Illevate uploaded a ton of Japanese SSF4: AE matches featuring Oni to his YouTube Channel. I'm not entirely sure what arcade this is, but there is a good set of matches through out all the videos. I included a few of them below and you can find the rest here.
Aris from Avoiding The Puddle got with MarkMan for the latest episode of the Avoiding The Puddle podcast. In the podcast, MarkMan discusses the build of Street Fighter X Tekken playable at Captivate this past week. MarkMan goes into pretty great detail on the basic and advanced mechanics of the game, so you should definitely check this one out if you're interested in Street Fighter X Tekken.
You can do so by heading over to Avoiding The Puddle.
If you're like me and completely missed the boat on Machinima's Mortal Kombat live stream a couple days back, Machinima uploaded a whopping 38 minutes worth of footage recorded from the livestream. The video shows a number of things we haven't seen very much of in the past, including Test Your Luck mode and Zombie mode.
If you'd like to go into Mortal Kombat fresh when the game launches on April 19, you'll probably want to avoid this one. Otherwise, enjoy a pretty big dose of Mortal Kombat!
SMOAI2010 uploaded a new King of Fighters XIII combo video with a wide range of combos from Mai, Yuri and King. If you play any of these characters - or you just want to see something new in the way of King of Fighters XIII footage - check it out when you have a moment to spare.
Alright! We're back with the next installment on how to properly utilize assists in Marvel vs Capcom 3. Last week we went over the basics (click here to read part one) and discussed how to think of assists and when you should call them. This week we're going to have a bit more fun, diving right into different types of assists and their uses. We also included a short video to hopefully give you guys a couple ideas on how to use these assists efficiently and possibly come up with some setups of your own!

Have you been wondering when you'd finally get the chance to play Platinum the Trinity in BB:CS? Well, you're probably not alone considering news on the character has been pretty slim -- until now, that is! Kurushii sent over a tip just now about the upcoming console release date for BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II. The two major additions for this patch are the inclusion of Platinum and bringing the balance of the console version up to date with the arcade version. They are also apparently fixing a few bugs and updating the netcode as well. You can read about all the changes by clicking here.
Keep in mind this is the Japanese release date for the patch, though hopefully the release date for North America won't be that far off. If the price for the update is kept the same for each region, it looks like it will cost roughly 10 dollars to acquire the patch.
JP 360 Release date for Platinum DLC + v1.03: 5/10 (560points)
JP PS3 Release date for Platinum DLC + v1.03: 5/12 (800yen)
Maximilian is back with episode 5 of the Online Warrior series, once again focusing on some really helpful Dr. Doom techniques and tips. If Doom's a part of your team and you're looking to learn a thing or two about him, check this video out.
In an interview conducted by the PlayStation Blog, Street Fighter x Tekken producer Yoshinori Ono revealed that more character announcements are in store at this year's E3 on June 7-9. Beyond revealing that more character announcements are on the way in the relatively near future, Ono also discusses how both Street Fighter X Tekken and Tekken X Street Fighter came to be, as well as the difficulties of transitioning certain Tekken characters over to the game.
If you'd like to check out the interview, follow this link.
G4TV posted what is, according to MK Community Manager Rigo Cortez, the last gameplay trailer to be released before Mortal Kombat launches on the 19th. The video follows up last week's story vignette and shows off a pretty good amount of gameplay for Shang Tsung.
If you've been waiting for more King of Fighters XIII action, get ready! A ton of new match footage from Alex's Arcade Tournament is now available from Dream Cancel. What's even better is that the video is all in HD; allowing you to watch the action clean and clear and admire the game's visual splendor as well. I'm making my way through the matches myself and it's very exciting stuff. Go here for a full playlist from Kane317's youtube or just check out the grand finals after the break.
IGN posted the reveal trailer for one of Mortal Kombat's premier online modes, King of the Hill. The mode seems to act similarly to SSF4's endless lobby, but with a very interesting and creative twist. People in the "crowd" spectating the matches can perform various actions using their avatars - including throwing a tomato at the screen - and even rate the match at the end.
The video outlines several of the things your avatar can do when spectating, but true to MK fashion, NetherRealm teases at a few hidden things as well. If you'd like to see how it works in action, check out the video below and then let us know what you think about it.

If for some inexplicable reason you never purchased either Marvel vs Capcom 2 or Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix on Xbox Live, this week's deal of the week just might nudge you into buying it. As of yesterday and up until the 18th, both titles are on sale for an agreeable 400 Microsoft points a pop.
I'd like to headline this week's update with a match between PJS Latif's insane Viper and Alex Valle's legendary Ryu. You put those two together and you get one of the most entertaining matches you'll ever see in SSF4... Enjoy this week's matches, and be sure to check out my channel to see more!
Jeff Gerstmann from Giant Bomb wrote up his thoughts after seeing Street Fighter X Tekken at Captivate this past week. Jeff goes over the basics of the game, how the characters from both series transitioned into an entirely new game, and more. See below for an excerpt to get you started, and then head over to Giant Bomb for the full thing!
A video interview with Yoshinori Ono, producer behind Street Fighter X Tekken, was conducted by IGN at the recent Captivate event. He talks about how they went about bringing together characters from Street Fighter and Tekken into one game. He goes on to say that in this game you are likely to see a lot more in-your-face, visceral, close-in fighting than in traditional Street Fighter games. The video also has a good deal of gameplay footage as well, so check it out!
What do you all think of the direction this game is taking?
SHADOW MODE DLC PACK #3 (80 MSP or $1): This pack contains 3 new AI teams for you to battle against. The last pack contained three Capcom-themed teams, so as you can probably guess this next one contains three Marvel theme teams. These teams have some of the toughest AI ratings thus far. See below for image. This image from Eventhubs. Hit the link if you would like to see more screenshots giving more information on the included teams.
TWO NEW EVENT MODE CHALLENGES: Challenges #22 and 23 have been released for the game's Event Mode.
