Ken Masters enters Street Fighter V in a dramatically different state. While he still of the same general archetype as Ryu, he’s been tuned in a way that makes him a much more aggressive-minded fighter than ever. Tune in to watch me come to grips with Ken’s new tools!

Street Fighter V Beta Rashid Matches Part 1
This marks the beginning of my match videos that I recorded during my limited time with the beta. Of the characters, I got the most time in with Rashid, so there will be more to come. That said, none of these videos will feature high level play, as I myself was more interested in exploring the game rather than being the best at it, but these are good to get a sense of what’s to come. Enjoy!

One last video from the first round of the beta. I go all-in with my Ryu, which was certainly better than it was on day one.
Thoughts on the Upcoming Release of Project X Zone 2
I wanted to like the original Project X Zone much more than I actually did. Rife with all of the characters I would expect from Capcom, Bandai Namco and Sega, and a thick serving of fan service, the actual experience of playing the game was hugely disappointing. Save for a flashy combat system that had a smidgen more depth than meets the eye, it was a piss poor attempt at a turn-based strategy game. Featuring a stupid story filled with anime cliches and gameplay that was completely devoid of strategy, this was nothing more than 40 hours of mercilessly smashing hapless baddies ad nauseam.
To my surprise, a sequel is in the works. To my disappointment, it seems as though little has been learned from the first game.
Out Today: Street Fighter V Beta
The wait to dive into this Street Fighter V beta is almost over! Scheduled to open at 9PM EST today, I will be all over it. Besides taking it in for myself, I’ll try my best to capture video and impressions. Maybe even a combo video or two if the game allows for it?
If you’re interested in getting in the beta, I don’t think it’s too late. At the very least, you can pre-order the game through PSN and immediately download the beta client. Let the new era of butt-kicking begin!
Amiibo Story: Mega Man
I vividly remember the first time I ever played a Mega Man game. It was the summer of 1990 and a family friend that was a year older than me had come over to my house with his new copy of Mega Man 2. Having never heard of the franchise up until then, I had no idea what to expect when I booted it up. Within seconds, the music in my ears was all I needed to hear to know that I was in for something special.
Death By Decapre
I have to admit that I didn’t expect to get much out of Decapre. Based on her similarities with Cammy and my struggles with using the original Killer Bee, I figured that any time with Decapre would end in disappointment. Don’t want to jinx things, but so far, Decapre is working out much better than expected.
The Return of Street Fighter X Tekken?
In a recent interview with Famtisu.com, Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono had some interesting things to say about the future of Street Fighter X Tekken.
Ono: In Street Fighter X Tekken’s case, if we’re able to get just a little more development budget allocated to the project, I think we might release one more patch for the game. We’ve even got the details of what we’d change in the patch planned out.
Tsubaki: Is that so!? But in all honesty, what I’m hoping for here is a sequel to the game. After all, even with Capcom vs. SNK, it wasn’t until CvS2 that it became a huge hit. Even today it’s still hailed as an incredible fighting game. So I was hoping for a similar development to happen with Street Fighter X Tekken.
Ono: That’s what I’ve always been telling the company too. But at the end of the day, there are just some brick walls that a salaryman can never overcome *laughs*. For instance, if a game doesn’t sell over 2 million copies, then we’d have to put the brakes on any plans for a sequel. All that means is that we weren’t capable enough. And all we can do after that is to reflect on the experience, take what we can learn from it, and try to apply those lessons on some other title.
Having thought that the game died a long time ago, it’s interesting to see anything about it now. Does the franchise deserve another shot?
