Here are my initial Mortal Kombat 11 stress test impressions
Over the weekend, many members of the fighting game community were able to seize the opportunity to try out Mortal Kombat 11 for the first time. This was thanks to the private stress test which was primarily online, but NetherRealm Studios did enable the Klassic Towers during the final few hours.
For me personally, this gave me an opportunity to play Baraka — my favorite Mortal Kombat character along with Reptile — after his absence in Mortal Kombat X. I was also able to get a general feel for how Mortal Kombat 11 will play like when it releases on April 23, 2019.
Final Round 2019 highlights for Dragon Ball FighterZ, Soul Calibur 6, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Tekken 7
The third and last day for Final Round 2019 has already concluded. A variety of games were played at this tournament.
Although Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition was the main attraction with over 300 entrants, there was some hype competition when it came to Dragon Ball FighterZ, Tekken 7, Soul Calibur 6, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. We've got a selection of highlights to talk about for each game.
No Street Fighter 5 announcement at Final Round 2019, let's discuss why, how the community is reacting, and where we should go from here
"Maybe not in January, maybe not at EVO Japan, but then surely at the kick off event of the 2019 Capcom Pro Tour we'll get something in the way of character announcements for Street Fighter 5," was the community's general speculation surrounding Capcom's radio silence on this matter.
Final Round 2019 has come and gone, and though the production was thoroughly entertaining with its wonderfully unpredictable results, little to no streaming issues, and very exciting matches throughout, here we stand on Monday still with no more information in the way of SF5's fourth season.
Differences between Peach and Daisy's turnips have been discovered for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Since Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was released, the community was unsure of the differences between Peach and her Echo Fighter, Daisy. Meaningful unique properties were known for Pit, Marth, Simon, Roy, Samus, and Ryu when compared to their respective Echo Fighters — Dark Pit, Lucina, Richter, Chrom, Dark Samus, and Ken.
For the most part, it just looked like Peach and Daisy had different idle animations and taunts. Finally, something more meaningful has been discovered that can potentially separate their tier positions.

Sus404308's Street Fighter sketch art is simply beautiful
We've featured galleries from Sus304308 here on EventHubs before, but it's been a good while and the incredible artist has been hard at work generating new content.
While we're used to staring at extremely high definition graphics all day while playing our favorite games, Sus's more simplistic sketch style reminds us that beauty is very much in the basics.

The world's best Super Smash Bros. Ultimate player claims Lucina is overrated
It can be argued that FOX|MKLeo is the current world's best Super Smash Bros. Ultimate competitor and Lucina user. His first place finishes at Genesis 6 and Smash Ultimate Summit are certainly supportive of these ideas.
At this point, the thought process that Lucina is better than Marth in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is well established within the community. Overall, Lucina is looked at as one of the best characters in the game. Recently, however, MKLeo has shared his opinion that Lucina is being overrated.

Leffen reveals his Pokémon Trainer and Roy match up charts for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
TSM|Leffen is widely known for his prowess in Super Smash Bros. Melee as the most recent EVO champion in the title, but he has also been hard at work building himself up in Smash Ultimate since it launched trying to learn and improve people's knowledge of characters and mechanics.
The Fox Melee main began his time in Ultimate playing Pokémon Trainer before finding himself in a character crisis until he finally settled on Roy. After reaching a sub goal on Twitch, Leffen released his personal match up charts for both of his characters where he obviously feels that one is better than the other.
Behold the terror of Obelisk the Tormentor in these new screenshots for Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Seto Kaiba in Jump Force
Jump Force DLC characters will begin rolling out in May, and we just recently learned which fighter will be among the first batch to come — that also lends more credibility to some reported data-mined leaks about the rest of the post-launch selection.
Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters fame was the first to be revealed earlier in the week, and now Bandai Namco has released the first set of screenshots for the rival of the spiky-haired King of Games featuring two of his signature monsters by his side.
Here is the get up attack range tier list for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's roster currently sits at 75 characters thanks to the addition of the Piranha Plant as the game's first post-launch fighter. Notably, Joker from Persona 5 and four other DLC combatants will be joining the fight at some point as well.
As a result of this, the game's roster of fighters are made up of different shapes and sizes. The attributes of someone like King K. Rool are unique when compared to Jigglypuff's attributes. Essentially, different characters are different.
