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:

Red Bull Kumite is an invitational event hosted in various venues around the world since 2015. The series started with Street Fighter 4 and now it’s coming for Street Fighter 6 in July at an all-new location.

The 2023 Red Bull Kumite will run July 1st & 2nd in Pretoria, South Africa in the usual format: 15 invited players with 1 LCQ spot to be contested at the event. The first 4 invited players have been revealed today: Tokido, Justin Wong, MenaRD and JahbiM representing South Africa as the host country.

You can register for the LCQ or buy spectator tickets today. Keep an eye on our Upcoming Events page for the schedule on this and other fighting game events!

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:

The iconic taekwondo practitioner returns! As if there was ever any doubt. Hwoarang’s gameplay trailer for Tekken 8 was released today, and aside from sporting some clearly new lines of dialogue and moves, he’s got a new outfit. The new look is a lot less biker boy and much more martial artist (but he’s still got the bike, mind you).

You might notice that he’s no longer wearing that eyepatch that became part of his main outfit in Tekken 7. He sustained an injury from a grenade blast during the story of Tekken 7 that caused him to wear the eyepatch, but its seems we’re past that now. Check out the trailer.

Platform fighter Rushdown Revolt will see a full 1.0 release on May 26 after several open and closed testing periods. The final version will be available on Steam with a hybrid Free-to-Play model. Offline access to the game will be completely free, with online play being a $24.99 optional purchase (yes, it’s rollback netcode).

Developer Vortex Games is expecting that future characters and cosmetics could still be added as paid DLC separate to the Online purchase. Additionally, any players who have paid for a copy of Rushdown Revolt in the past will be receiving the Online features for free at launch.

Rushdown Revolt will be featured as a main-stage game at Combo Breaker 2023 this year, so look out for possibly more information at or after the event.

After 4 years of development, Rushdown Revolt is launching its Version 1.0 on May 26th on Steam.

Capcom has announced a developer Q&A stream with Game Directory Takayuki Nakayama and Producer Shuhei Matsumoto. In case you somehow missed it the Street Fighter 6 showcase went over a meaty 30 minutes of deep-dive into the game’s systems and features, but there’s still so much we don’t know yet!

You can submit your questions by replying to this thread on r/StreetFighter. The stream will go live on May 12 at 2 PM Pacific (5PM Eastern) on the CapcomFighters channel.

A fighting game for the PlayStation with a one-hit kill system!! This is the promise made to readers of Japanese gaming magazine Dengeki back in October of 1995 with the first character art and biographies of Guilty Gear. Community translator Sol Radguy has recently published a translation of what is likely the first ever preview of Guilty Gear, showing some stark differences from what would later be known as Guilty Gear The Missing Link when it hit the PlayStation in 1998.

This depiction of the cast is both familiar and bizarrely different, juxtaposing the hand-drawn artwork associated with Guilty Gear’s aesthetics prior to Xrd with CG renders that I can only assume were in style at the time. It’s about 8 pages long, and you can read it on the Internet Archive right now. There’s also a later preview from 1996 with screenshots of a prototype build!

NEW TRANSLATION: Dengeki PlayStation Oct. 1995 – Prototype Guilty Gear: The Missing Link Article, English. The translation is after the 8 pages in Japanese.

Thank you to @Nincopyjasb for providing the original files.https://t.co/Bk1e5DlMGB pic.twitter.com/lgK7JHDD0s
