Super Versus Battle 2010 just took place in London this week, with over 8 different fighting games being played in tournament style over the full weekend. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like SVB have managed to come up with a stream, so we’re going to have to hope that most of it was recorded and will be uploaded in the coming days.
The big surprise of the weekend however seems to have been that Prodigal Son aka Ryan Hart managed to put Daigo out! Daigo initially selected Cammy against Hart’s Ryu and lost the first game. He switched to Ryu afterwards but Ryan Hart managed to win it out without Daigo taking a single game.
Apparently earlier on in casuals Daigo wiped the floor with Ryan’s Dhalsim, and…

Let’s get straight to the point; Valve, makers of the Half Life series, Counterstrike, Team Fortress 2 and Portal have released a new game. The name of the game is Alien Swarm. It’s really good, and what’s more; it’s absolutely free.
Alien Swarm was originally a fan made mod for Unreal Tournament, and is now a standalone Steam-based game. It’s an almost-top-down 3D shooter with up to 4 players working in cooperation.
Each player gets to choose from 4 classes; Officer, Weapons Specialist, Tech or Medic. The officer is pretty solid in battle, but their main bonus is stats that will boost team performance, so you can do without an officer on a 1-2 man team. Weapons Specialists get boosts to their health and heavy weapon damage,…

Just saw an advert for Knight and Day, the new Tom Cruise/Cameron Diaz flick. What the hell is going on? The tone of this trailer is all over the place and leaves it feeling like an ad for a awful tv show nevermind a bad movie.
Is it meant to be funny? It’s not very funny but it seems to want to be funny. The action looks like the cheesy unnecessary overuse of cgi we’ve seen for years. It tells us it’s thrilling, but somehow I don’t believe this trailer.
Oh yuck. I just realised something. Their characters surnames are respectively Knight and Day, aren’t they. Noooo.

The first run of the European Console League happens next week in Liverpool.
The tournament runs from July 30th to August 1st. Games featured include COD4, Halo 3, GoW, Fifa 2010 and a little game called Super Street Fighter IV.
The Super tourney runs on the Saturday only, runs all day and now only costs £10 to enter! This is not too shabby considering that the original price for entering for SSFIV was £50.
That was dropped to £25 and then finally they made it so that entry to the SSFIV tournament is technically “free”, but that you have to buy a Saturday pass to get into the venue, at the cost of a tenner.
And, I’m going! That’s right, yours truly, world famous not-very-good Akuma player paulietheboss will…

The arcade version of Super Street Fighter IV was recently confirmed by SF director Yoshinori Ono.
However, it was only yesterday that the very first Japanese location test of the arcade version was held. The following screenshot was taken at the loctest yesterday, and reveals that there are two new empty character slots at either side of the screen!
Click here to see the full photo!
All the buzz right now seems to mainly center on the new characters likely including Elena, R. Mika and Rolento. I’ve been saying for a while that although Rolento is a great character, I’m not sure how he would fit into the SFIV system. Most of his special attacks are multi hitting and therefore would stuff any focus attempts.
Ono originally said he’d…

After getting an astounding response to the compilation video I made yesterday of Super Street Fighter IV 2nd Ultra videos, harvested from around the net, I was blown away.
I’ve had messages on Youtube, Xbox Live and through the website. Thanks to everyone who was appreciative of what I did and passed the links around.
Special thanks to Eventhubs for featuring my video on their homepage. I’ve ended up with the following awards from Youtube as I post this;
#3 - Most Viewed (Today)
#88 - Most Viewed (Today) - Global
I’d like to point out again though, that I’m just responsible for compiling and editing some video together. The real thanks goes to the players who attended the playtest and spent their time recording new ultras and gameplay for the…
