Cygames has posted new match footage giving us our first good look at what Zeta looks like in action with her laser-shooting spear plus Lowain and his gang of bros on the new Fremel Island stage.
Update: What are the best and most impactful fighting games to release this decade?
Update: You can check out the final results of our poll below to see which games our readers believe to be the best / most impactful games of the 2010's.
December is upon us which means that there's only one month left in this entire decade that's been the biggest and most important eras in fighting game history. Today, the genre feels larger than ever before following the mostly quiet times of the 2000's before Street Fighter 4's release.
There's been so many fighting games that have come out in the last 10 years that many fans probably either forgot about or thought came out more than 10 years ago, so we've put together a giant poll to ask everyone what they think were the absolute best of the best and most impactful — from (Super) Street Fighter 4 all the way to Mortal Kombat 11 and Samurai Shodown.
Where the Street Fighter 5 tier list stands here at the end of 2019
2019 has been a big year for fighting games. Numerous releases, balance patches, DLC characters, and major tournament circuits kept the final year of this decade an exciting and action-packed ride for fans of the genre.
As we draw closer to the end of the year and on the precipice of updates and balance changes for most triple-A fighting games right now, we thought it might be fun to take a look at where some of these titles stand right now, at the end of 2019, in terms fo their tier lists. Today we're going to take a look at Street Fighter 5.

We've got yet another new character trailer for Cygames' upcoming Granblue Fantasy: Versus as Ladiva shows off a few new punches, slams, and leg drops.

Check out the new character trailer for Londrekia in Under Night In-Birth EXE: Late[cl-r]
It was back at EVO 2019 that we learned that Under Night In-Birth EXE: Late[cl-r] (an update to Under Night In-Birth EXE: Late[st]) and a brand new character, Londrekia, were coming in early 2020.
We got a first glimpse at Londrekia back in August, but now we have a new character trailer for the "Frozen Fang of Eternity" thanks to PQubeGames.
Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang has a fighting game coming out and yes, Donald Trump is a boss character
Before we get Granblue Fantasy: Versus, (February 6) Under Night In-Birth EXE: Late[cl-r], (February 20) or Guilty Gear: Strive, (late 2020) we'll have a brand new fighter based around the campaign of 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang.

New footage of Kage's V-Skill 2 shows off somersaulting combo extender and ender abilities in Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition
Arcade Edition introduced second V-Triggers for every Street Fighter 5 character, and now Champion Edition will be doing the same thing for V-Skills when the time comes for its release.
Kage's version of V-Skill 2, known as Sekieiken, was briefly shown off alongside Alex's and Blanka's earlier this week, and now we finally have the opportunity to see what the somersaulting move looks like without the V-Trigger power up plus its usefulness in combat.
More evidence for Dragon Ball FighterZ Season 3 emerges with discovery of new Dramatic Finish animation for Jiren, Goku and Frieza
Dragon Ball FighterZ has been one of the most successful fighting games of this console generation, so even though we do not yet know if it will receive a third year of new content, more and more evidence is emerging suggesting that we will be seeing new things beyond Super Broly's release.
Data-miners like Lean MB56 and UltIMa647 have discovered new animations buried within the latest DBFZ update showcasing what appears to be an upcoming Dramatic Finish sequence for the game featuring Goku, Frieza and Jiren to recreate the ending of the Tournament of Power.
Street Fighter 2's iconic throw voice sound clip was apparently sampled from an old Yamaha drum machine
Street Fighter 2's soundtrack and sound effects will always live on as the most iconic in fighting game history due to its massive scale and essentially establishing the genre as a whole... though apparently not all of that came from Capcom itself.
A big fighting game fan going by the name of Felineki recently uploaded a clip revealing that the sound used when a character performs a throw in SF2 was apparently taken right from an old Yamaha drum machine.
Update: Super Broly 'DBS' is now available in Dragon Ball FighterZ
Update: Super Broly / Broly (DBS) is now available to download and use in Dragon Ball FighterZ across the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Although Broly is technically already in the game, this is a completely different version of Broly. Don't just think this is just a rehash of another character. His moveset is completely different from the non-canonical version of Broly's.

Laura hits the deepest and meatiest standing medium punch behind her opponent I've ever seen in Street Fighter 5
When you've been playing fighting games for a while, eventually you'll run into a player who is incredibly experienced with their favorite character. They'll have such a great understanding of their main that they'll hit you with a set up or combo that you've never seen before.
As someone who fancies himself a lab monster, the kind of plays you see from people who clearly have extensive knowledge of their character are my favorite in fighting games. It's those absolutely filthy ones that almost look like they're bugs or glitches, but are incredibly effective. Here we have one of those types of set ups for Laura in Street Fighter 5.

Let's take a closer look at what the event may have in store for us.
New character reveal for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate feels highly likely at The Game Awards despite the lack of confirmation
We recently learned that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Jump Force, Dead or Alive 6, Mortal Kombat 11, and Samurai Shodown are nominations for The Game Awards' Fighting Game of the Year. Considering Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's record breaking 15 million sales, many feel that Nintendo will be taking the prize this year.
In addition to the awards, there were a number of reveals that kept fans engaged to the yearly show last time. NetherRealm Studios, for example, opted to hold onto the Mortal Kombat 11 announcement for this specific event.
For Smash fans, the first character of the Fighters Pass was unveiled just before the game was officially launched to the public. It was at the The Game Awards 2018 where we learned about the inclusion of Joker from the Persona series.
Rumor: New data mined content from the latest Dragon Ball FighterZ patch further supports a Season 3
Dragon Ball Super Broly will be releasing for Dragon Ball FighterZ tomorrow on December 5. The patch for the game has already been released in preparation for Season 2's final character.
Official confirmation of a Season 3 has not yet been unveiled by the developers. Having said that, there appears to be plenty of evidence that supports the existence of a third season.
