Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s DLC fighters have been a major talking point for months now, and with three out of five of them having been revealed, speculation about the remaining two has grown rampant. Recently, reports emerged that the fourth Challenger for the crossover fighter would be a character from an SNK franchise, and now, new information has emerged that may have pinned down exactly who that will be.

According to @NanaKarobi and Sabi – known Nintendo insiders with a proven track record with leaking stuff – the fourth DLC character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is going to be Terry Bogard, the protagonist of the Fatal Fury franchise, who’s also a major character in the King of Fighters series.

If rumours are to be believed, Nintendo’s going to be streaming a Nintendo Direct presentation soon, which is when they might make this official announcement.

Before that happens though, there’s still one more Challenger on the way with Banjo-Kazooie. Recent reports have suggested that DLC could be out within the next two weeks.

15 Hardest Final Bosses In Fighting Games

Shubhankar Parijat — Fri, 19 Jul 2019 06:28:54 +0000

More than perhaps any other genre, fighting games offer the kind of mechanical depth that you can lose yourself in for years. Learning the ins and outs, learning and perfecting combos, and so many other things that make this one of the most competitive genres in gaming, even on a professional level now. But you don’t have to be playing against another human to be challenged in a fighting game. Throughout the years, this genre has thrown multiple final bosses at us that have got us all collectively pulling our hair out. In this feature, we’ll be taking a look at fifteen such fights.

MIKE TYSON (PUNCH-OUT!!)

One of the greatest athletes of all time is just as formidable in 8-bit form as he used to be in real life at his prime. Starring as the final hurdle in Punch-Out!!, Mike “Iron Mike” Tyson pulled no punches. Right off the bat, he hurled a barrage of attacks at the player that required a series of precise dodges, while what followed was a series of fast, hard-hitting attacks that could make even the most season players sweat.

Dead or Alive 6 Deluxe Demo Contains Almost All Content, Arrives February 22nd

Koei-Tecmo have made quite a few interesting announcements about its upcoming fighter Dead or Alive 6. First was the announcement that Mai Shiranui from King of Fighters would be joining the roster as a DLC character. Another KOF fighter will also be coming down the line, but before the game even releases, fans can try out the deluxe demo on February 22nd.

Coming to Xbox One and PS4, the deluxe demo will feature almost all the content in the full game. That includes 24 playable fighters, online Ranked multiplayer and Lobbies, Free Training and Command Training, combo challenges, and an “introduction” to the Story mode. Koei-Tecmo confirmed in a separate tweet that the first few missions of Story mode would be available to try out here.

While it isn’t the full game and will only be available until February 25th, that’s still a lot of content to test beforehand. PC players sadly won’t be getting into the mix, but at least console users can report on what’s working and what isn’t in the lead-up to launch. Dead or Alive 6 releases on March 1st for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

15 Games That “Borrowed” Assets from Other Properties

Every form of mass media takes inspiration from somewhere. It’s the hallmark of civilization – stories evolve, twist and turn over the generations, becoming more refined and nuanced. However, there are differences between using popular tropes, archetypes and clichés and straight up “borrowing” – or at worst, stealing – someone else’s creative work. We decided to take a look at several games which were “inspired” by other properties, some blatantly and others a lot more so.

King of Fighters

At one point, the King of Fighters was set to have a character that resembled Tetsuo from the movie Akira. The character’s voice actor was even hired for the process. It’s hard to not see the similarities but we’re guessing due to copyright issues, this character was changed to Nameless from King of Fighters 2002 onwards.
