Leaked a day early but finally making his proper debut during the Tekken 7 top 8 at Combo Breaker, Bryan Fury is joining the cast of Tekken 8. Sporting a new cinematic intro with Paul and a costume change befitting his violent nature, the cyborg was never going to be far from this game’s core roster. Check out the trailer:

The third character on Them’s Fightin’ Herds’ DLC Season Pass has been revealed. The next character to join the roster is Nidra, a sleepy tapir with a mystical stage and voiceovers hinting at a ‘dream world’.

No hard date yet but the trailer does mention a Summer 2023 release date for all platforms. Check out the trailer which debuted at Combo Breaker 2023:

Topanga World Championship sends off Street Fighter V with an invitational bracket of some of the world’s best in Japan. If you’re not familiar, the format was previously called Topanga World League in its SFIV iteration. It’s a round-robin tournament consisting of FT7 sets with a deuce condition of maximum 10 games to win. It will be streamed over 4 days over on the Topanga YouTube channel starting today.

Invited players are: Tokido, EndingWalker, Kawano, Mister crimson, Fuudo, Zhen, MenaRD and Higuchi. Check out Day 1’s stream below:

Registration for East Coast Throwdown 2023 went live today, promising a 16 game lineup including next-generation releases like Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1. A variety of retro titles will also have tournaments on arcade hardware (and MiSTER, for Vampire Savior), with the option to buy an arcade pass if you’d like to free play all day.

ECT 2023 will take place from October 20 to 22 at the Hilton Stamford and attendance is limited to 3,000 entrants. Early bird pricing is available until July 15th on Start.gg.

Seems that French Bread still has work to carry out with Melty Blood: Type Lumina. After a rather strange announcement of having no plans to announce at Evo Japan’s top 8, the first hint of future content is coming in a week. On May 31st game director Kamone Serizawa and commentator Yu Mizukami will deliver information related to an upcoming 1.43 balance patch as well as news on future event support.

Whether or not that will translate to more event support outside of Japan is unclear, but at least to temper your expectations the stream will be in Japanese. The video notes also mention a “variety” of other contents to discuss. The stream will take place on the Type Moon Games YouTube channel, we’ll post a reminder as we get closer.

The DNF Duel official YouTube account recently posted a short Q&A session with game director Kodani Ryosuke about upcoming updates and support for the title.

It’s painfully obvious the “questions” are just a way to present information about the game’s future, but there is some info here: new characters are (still) coming, the voiceovers have been recorded, and a new mechanic that interacts with Conversion is coming. No time frame on any of this.

Check out the video:

Sylvie’s debut trailer for The King of Fighters XV revealed quite a few changes to her gameplay coming off of her debut in XIV, and now we have the details. Her new Thunderous Drip projectile attack reinforces her zoning gameplay, and Magne-Missile is so similar to Guilty Gear’s TOTSUGEKI that even Sylvie knows it.

Sylvie joins KOFXV later tonight in the West, and we’ll have patch notes out for it when they’re live. Check out the Character Breakdown:

The Street Fighter 6 demo is out in the wild now and being entirely free it’s easy to just pick it up and try it on your own console (or PC) and see how it performs relative to your expectations. But what is the best version? What does “input delay reduction” actually do? How do you fix the World Tour fights running at 30 FPS?

Digital Foundry’s Tom Morgan covers the resolution & performance measurements of every version of the Street Fighter 6 demo in a new video released today. It’s by far the most comprehensive look we’ll get on YouTube, so don’t miss it:
