Salim has defeated Frionel in a shocking upset to take 1st place! We are now gathering up entrance fees and taking in last minute donations to see if we can fly him over to Evo… perhaps Reynald, Mr KOF and Balla are hoping we can’t :3

Don’t say I didn’t say anything about the media getting some exclusives themselves, and this is just from a press release. Why are these interesting? Because the Famitsu article showed new stages and some sort of intro or intermission screen that nobody has talked about yet. You can also see Lilly Kane, Krauser and Lawrence [...]

Kof XIII Review While attending the Oz Hadou Nationals (OHN) in Sydney on the 28th-29th May, I was able to see Kof XIII in person for the first time ever, in Sydney’s Galaxy World Arcade on George Street. I was so excited to be able to finally play this game since it’s release and I [...]

(Now updated with video) I do like private podcasts because you can edit out all the profanity and discussion about DLC characters :3 We would have done it live but there was a technical difficulty and it was already 1am for me. The discussion ended at 4am! This has been trimmed to a nice 45 [...]

niconico (and by extension SMOAI) uploaded another of the lengthy 対戦動画 series (Taisen Douga or competition vids), however unlike the other ones here we have one that includes a very interesting rule : 3 people form a “team” and each will fight a battle; but we have that within a team no player can select [...]

Terry Takuma Kula and after this, OutPhase found some improvements… K’ Ash Andy We have some work here to start compiling these! Keep an eye on OutPhase1984. The [...]

It’s been awhile since I posted a 2k2um Vs combo vid, but I have one up for today. If you like Mature then your in luck! Mature is a favorite character of mine and I find her quite versatile. Please read the description for a transcript and discuss here.

Post a reply in this forum thread to show Atlus (or other publishers such as Zen United or PQ) that you want them to publish KOF XIII in the UK. The thread also has a poll to ask you (the Brits) if we should buy XIII on arcade. GO.  POST.  NOW.  Thank you very much!

Gunsmith went to check out the new arcade in Paris, France, by the name of Arcade Street. Shout outs to Dorian, Friono, Salim, 2Pac, Yosuke, Rickyo95 and Rayden, who possibly has a more irritating Yuri than Giga D! First things first, the arcade is great, industrial style like La Mythik (RIP).  Perhaps it marks the [...]
