Katsuhiro Harada reported 'missing' for a week, confirmed okay by reliable source and frequent Steam account activity

Katsuhiro Harada reported 'missing' for a week, confirmed okay by reliable source and frequent Steam account activity It was recently reported that Namco Bandai's own Katsuhiro Harada appeared to have gone missing after engaging in a heated dispute during a meeting. Harada-san was overheard shouting at someone, then proceeded to storm out and went off the grid, becoming unreachable for some time.

The Tekken Project support team sent out a message early yesterday via Harada's Twitter account stating that the Tekken Producer seemed to have gone missing for nearly a week. He hadn't shown up at his office and the team, among many others, began to worry.

*This is TEKKEN Project support team* Mr.Harada has been missing from office since a week ago. We are still searching for him. Thanks.

The support team followed up with another Tweet this morning stating that Mr. Harada's Steam account had been quite active lately leading to some reassurance of his well being.

There appear to be some news articles worrying for Harada-san's safety. However, we were able to confirm he has been logged into Steam daily, so we believe he is OK, but just has not shown up for work.

It has since been confirmed by a reliable source that Katsuhiro Harada is most certainly okay and fans needn't worry.

Justin Wong's Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 tier list - complete version

Justin Wong's Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 tier list - complete version We've posted EG|Justin Wong's entire tier list for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Before, only the Capcom cast was available, but this adds the Marvel side into the mix.

Unlike more traditional tier lists, Justin takes things a few steps further, offering pros and cons for each fighter in addition to a letter grade. He also discusses partners and which positions on a team he feels each fighter is strong at. Here's a little blurb to get you started.

Hey guys, this time this tier list will consist of the cast in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Now before I start I just want to say this is my opinion on all these characters and anyone can disagree or agree.

In the partner section, the people listed there can be an assist that would be helpful or they can use the assist to help their game. For example: Wolverine loves Tatsu assist but Akuma loves Dr. Doom assist. You might see a lot of Doctor Dooms, Vergils in those sections, just a heads up. =p

I will have a grade system running from S+, S, S-, A+, A, A- B+, B, B-, C+ C, C- and D with S+ being highest and D being lowest.

You can find a full archive of EG|Justin Wong's columns here on EventHubs, and you can view his Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 tier list that was posted a little ways back.

In the future, Justin will be doing a tier list for Street Fighter X Tekken v2013, so stay tuned to the front page for updates.

Scorpion quick day 1 combos by DreamKing, early notes on the character - Injustice: Gods Among Us

Hey everyone, DreamKing here again! With Scorpion being available on Xbox 360 today, I figured I'd come up with a few combos to show a little of what the Mortal Kombat fighter can do in Injustice. These are more on the intermediate level of difficulty and demonstrate a bit of the potential he has in this game.

Additionally, I've added some early notes divulging interesting things I've noticed about Scorpion so far. This includes combo potential, Trait and more. Check out the video below and to read the full list of notes, hit the jump.

You can find inputs for these combos here. Enjoy!

• Can score a juggle combo off of L, L, H xx Teleport Punch due to the knock back of final hit for that chain. (As seen in the first combo)
• Not very high in damage. You'll be averaging about 30% - 35% in BnBs, with meter.
• Trait works a lot like Grundy's Grave Rot. Not quite as effective for combos because many of Scorpion's combo extenders knock the opponent away. (i.e. L - L - H, EX Teleport Punch, etc.)

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 characters now selectable in EventHubs profiles - Stat section previews incoming

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 characters now selectable in EventHubs profiles - Stat section previews incoming Thanks in part to the hard work of JusticeBFBHCBHS, we've added the ability to add your Marvel vs. Capcom 2 teams to your EventHubs profile.

As a nice side effect, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will be included in our new stats section we're rolling out, which you can find a preview of here. In the very near future, we'll be posting a couple of additional previews of the new game sections, which will show stats for UMvC3, Injustice, SFxT and SSF4 AE v2012, so you can view things like the character usage, game popularity and quite a bit more.

We're still hard at work on getting the new stats section ready, but we're pushing forward to make this a pretty incredible and fairly revolutionary part of EventHubs. Here's a quick feature run down of some of the things to expect.

• A sortable table showing the most used characters in nearly every major game currently played in the FGC, from UMvC3 to Guilty Gear XX ACP, and many stops in between.

• For team games: The most popular point, middle (where applicable) and anchor characters. This is a complete list of the entire roster, so you can also see who's the least popular as well, for those positions.

• Another feature for team games is the most popular squads. For example, Wolverine, Dr. Doom, Vergil is the most popular team among EventHubs users for UMvc3, followed by Zero, Dante, Vergil. When our stats section launches, though, you'll be able to find an expanded list — for all team games, not just UMvC3.
