Ono hints at another fighting game possibly in the works, SF4 update announcements pegged for EVO 2013 and San Diego Comic-Con Yoshinori Ono recently dropped a few bits of information over on Twitter that pertain to fighting games and some upcoming events.

For those waiting on information about the upcoming Street Fighter 4 series update, Capcom will be making announcements at EVO 2013 on July 12 - 14 and at San Diego Comic-Con the following weekend.

I had a lot of asking to me about fighting game and Deep Down.We're making preparation for announcing to FGC about SFIV at EVO13 and SDCC. ;D

Ono also posted a tweet that seems to mention another fighting game but states that Capcom does not have any news about it yet.

And more, about other fighting game... we're not have news for outside announcement. Thank you for your patience... ;D

Last year at New York Comic-Con Capcom showed off a Darkstalkers concept trailer that featured Demitri and Lord Raptor in the art style of Street Fighter 4.

Whether or not a new Capcom fighting game is currently in the works is speculation but we will definitely be seeing something for the new Street Fighter 4 update by next month.

If Capcom is working on another fighting title, what do you think it may be? Let us know in the comments below.

True unblockable discovered in Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 - the inescapable Ultra

Unblockable setups have become quite a large staple in current high level Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 play. Although they are deemed "unblockable", it has since been proven that these particular attacks can actually be blocked with very, very precise timing.

Ryu Apprentice recently posted a video showing off what he thought to be a typical unblockable U1 setup using Vega against Ibuki. When it was pointed out to him by a fellow YouTube user that this was a true unblockable, further testing proved that the setup was indeed, impossible to block.

The video below demonstrates a corner throw situation in which the Ibuki dummy is set to All Block in the training options. As shown, Ibuki can not block this Ultra 1, despite being set to block everything.

Hit the jump to check out a midscreen version of the unblockable and examples of it landing on Ibuki's different escape attempts.

A Swedish Cammy player by the name of Popi won first place at Dreamhack Summer 2013 this weekend by taking the Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 grand finals set over EVO 2012 champion Infiltration.

Some people seem to be questioning the credibility of Popi's win due to the fact that they may not have previously heard of him.

EMP|Dieminion, one of the best Guile players to date, decided to weigh in over on Twitter saying that Popi is not just a random competitor. He states that Popi is actually one of the best Cammy players in Europe and those who have competed in that region are familiar with him.

Dave Verfaille on Killer Instinct: If you mash during an opponent's combo, you will get punished - Combo Breakers and Lock Outs explained

Maximilian has uploaded another great interview with Double Helix Games' Dave Verfaille from E3 2013 in which the two discuss the upcoming Killer Instinct title. This time around, Verfaille explains how Combo Breakers work in KI 2013 and the differences between the orange and red Lock Outs.

Due to Combo Breakers requiring strict timing to perform, Verfaille mentions that an opponent mashing buttons during combos will not benefit them. He states that if you hit a button during any part of the combo, (during a linker, starter, etc.), you will be locked out.

Check out the interview below.

Infiltration's Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 training session - execution drills to land Akuma's Ultra 2, meter heavy combos and more

Ithing101 uploaded a very interesting Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 clip that features EVO 2012 champion, Infiltration, showing us how he trains. We get to see Infiltration run through different combos and confirms into Akuma's Ultra 2, some interesting links on Abel and a few meter heavy Ex Hadouken set ups.

Since the inputs are turned on during this session we also get to see what Infiltration's button presses look like. So many plinked buttons that are rarely dropped and double tapping seem to be the key to the EVO champ's awesome execution.

Sakurai: There won't be a trend of adding a lot of third-party characters into Super Smash Bros., Wii U and 3DS version to have same roster

Sakurai: There won't be a trend of adding a lot of third-party characters into Super Smash Bros., Wii U and 3DS version to have same roster At E3 2013 last week, Nintendo unveiled their latest Super Smash Bros. title that will be making it's way to Wii U and 3DS. Many fans were surprised to see that Capcom's own Mega Man will be joining the frantic fight against Mario and other familiar faces of the franchise.

When Smash designer Masahiro Sakurai was asked which other third-party character he'd most like to see included in the game, he mentioned that he could not answer the question but did confirm that we will not be seeing many other non-Nintendo characters on the roster. He goes on to say that Mega Man was indeed, a "special case".

I'm really sorry. If I were to answer that question, I'd get in a lot of trouble in a lot of different ways, so I can't answer.

But I think I can say generally that there won't be a trend of adding a lot of third-party characters. You can sort of think of Mega Man as being the special case.

Updated: Perfect Legend's top 5 tier list for Injustice: Gods Among Us

Updated: Perfect Legend has added a detailed breakdown explaining why he feels each character is top 5.

With Injustice: Gods Among Us having been featured in tournaments for the past couple of months, players are starting to get a better understanding on where characters fall tier-wise. Top Mortal Kombat player FNATIC|Perfect Legend has shared who he thinks are currently the top 5 in the game, in no particular order.

Interestingly enough, we see that Perfect Legend has a few interesting choices on his list. We see that The Flash and Wonder Woman are among his choices and that the latest DLC character, Scorpion, is also included.

This differs quite a bit from EMP|Tom Brady and EMP|REO's early list that also featured Aquaman and Black Adam.

We also saw that Aquaman was among CD Jr.'s more recent top 5 list.

Now that various high level MK9 players have given their thoughts on who they think is best in Injustice, what do you think? Do you agree with these lists and if not, what would you change?

Let us know below.

Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate's roster is final now, director of title talks about online improvements

Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate's roster is final now, director of title talks about online improvements We posted part one of KarbyP's interview with Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate's director, Yohei Shimbori, yesterday and we've followed that up with the final piece today, including some gameplay impressions of both Momiji and Rachel.

Shimbori mentions that the game's roster is final now, and talks about some of the improvements they've made to the online mode, like bug fixes for some players who were not being able to join lobbies, stage lag issues and he adds there are some new things that they cannot discuss, yet.

There's also some additional DoA5U gameplay footage. You can find all this and more after the jump.

KarbyP: With Leon and Rachel added to the cast, is the roster final? Or are you planning to include more characters?

Shimbori: The roster is final.

KarbyP: A friend of mine who goes by Shinobi (he's a Korea-born, Tokyo-based competitive Kasumi player and made it into grand finals/top 22 for Team Ninja's first official Dead or Alive 5 tournament in Tokyo) noticed in the new E3 trailer you put out that Kasumi and Hayate have new tag pose and tag throws added in Ultimate. He'd like to thank you for that, and at the same time, request specifically for Kasumi a new Great victory pose as well as new appeals/taunts.

Shimbori: Oh yeah, I know Shinobi. As for his request... I'll think about it when he wins a tournament. (Laughs)

Killer Instinct reboot was originally Microsoft's idea, Double Helix jumped at the chance

Killer Instinct reboot was originally Microsoft's idea, Double Helix jumped at the chance It has been almost 17 years since we've seen a new installment in the Killer Instinct franchise. Rare and Double Helix sit at the helm of the 2013 Xbox One exclusive title but it seems it wasn't either company's idea to revive the acclaimed series.

Double Helix developer Dave Verfaille recently told Siliconera that the idea for a Killer Instinct reboot was originally administered by Microsoft themselves.

The idea to bring it back came originally from Microsoft.

They had new hardware coming soon and were like, ‘the time is now, we gotta bring this back’. So we heard about the chance and jumped at it.

The developers then put together a prototype for the combo heavy fighter in order to solidify their chances of scoring the job with Microsoft.

Now we can expect to get our hands on Killer Instinct with the launch of the Xbox One in November.
