If This 3-Minute Anime Doesn’t Make You Cry, You Have No Heart

It’s called “Furiko” (or “Pendulum”), and it was recently featured on Japanese variety show. It’s only three minutes long, and it’s making people all weepy. The anime was drawn by the Japanese comedian Tekken, who named himself after the fighting game. It did not bring me to tears, because I have no heart. Obviously. You?…

Capcom Built Four-Way Multiplayer into Street Fighter X Tekken‘s PS3 Version, Then Gave Up on the 360

Street Fighter X Tekken has just been a post-release comedy of errors, whether we’re talking about on-disc DLC and the apologies for it, or bizarre character endings (that also highlight the on-disc DLC scandal.)

She’s Not Just the Tekken Lady. She’s a Bowler.

To promote Street Fighter X Tekken, Capcom roped in a handful of women to cosplay as the fighting game characters. Dubbed “Miss St. X”, the women are bikini models and starlets. One, however, stands apart when wearing funny shoes and throwing big, heavy balls. See, Rina Ohtsuka, who is cosplaying as Tekken‘s Nina, is a…

From Generic Bullet Fodder to Distinguished Heroes: Koreans in Video Games.

“Are you a North Korean?” I’ve been asked this question as often in America as I’ve been asked by Koreans if I own a gun, because all Americans own guns. The answer to both is “no”. The two questions are too absurd to be borne, and the answer to both questions is obvious, but if…

This Dancing Bear is My Favorite Part of Street Fighter X Tekken

One of the only things better than beating a friend at a fighting game is childishly gloating about it, and no gloating is complete without an amazingly victory dance. That’s why I’m a giant fan of Kuma’s victory dance in Street Fighter X Tekken. It’s snarky, clownish and exudes a sense of “Neener-neener-neener” that’s hard…

Watch the Precious (?) Enhancements of Street Fighter x Tekken‘s Gem System

Street Fighter x Tekken‘s Gem System has been quite a controversy in the fighting game community. There are those who feel it makes the game too easy, that it will, in fact, break the game itself. After playing through SFxT‘s tutorial and pumping in a couple of hours into versus mode, I think that Capcom…
