Looks like Capcom answered whether or not they plan on showcasing Luke at Tokyo Game Show
Last week, we delved into the chances of seeing any sort of Luke gameplay or showcase for Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition at Tokyo Game Show 2021 since Capcom was more than vague about their presentation.
The developer has now publicly updated their TGS plans, which seems to give a fairly definitive answer as to whether or not SF5's final DLC will be making an appearance.
Some of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe's Heroic Brutalities were so comically bad they were actually awesome
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was an interesting experiment. What was meant to be an epic clash between two iconic franchises ended up being a 3D fighter with an identity crisis that tried to capture that bloody Mortal Kombat magic all while obeying a Teen rating and retaining the good name of several fan favorite super heroes.
It was an awkward meeting in the middle of both IPs, but while the game certainly wasn't all bad, it did have several Fatality-style finishers that were... far from great. As I think back, some of them were so comically bad and cheesy that they are actually really awesome and entertaining.

With tomorrow's Nintendo Direct looking like the place Smash Ultimate's final DLC character will be announced, so for one last time, let's delve into who you all want to see cap off this landmark project.
Here's how Season 5 DLC characters have performed right after release in Street Fighter 5
Adding new characters via DLC has become as common staple in fighting games as in other gaming genres, and very often said newcomers tend to be overpowered to incentivize players to purchase them. That's clearly not the case here in the fifth Season of Street Fighter 5.
We don't have Luke (the fifth and final Season 5 DLC fighter) quite yet, but we do have first month statistics for Dan, Rose, Akira, and Oro thus far thanks to Capcom's Shadaloo C.R.I. website. We can see how each of these four have performed across four various ranking categories to give us an idea of how hard the DLC of Season 5 has been hitting early on.
Justin Wong's touch of death combo with Captain Commando, Sabretooth, and Hayato has us really wanting that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 revival
One of the best to ever play and compete in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Justin Wong, continues to experiment in the now 21-year-old fighting game and is coming up with all kinds of interesting things.
With a focus on low tier characters and unorthodox teams, the longtime top-level competitor has crafted an awesome touch of death combo using a squad consisting of Captain Commando, Sabretooth, and Hayato. We start with Commando on point and a little help from the big, bad X-Men villain.
Super Smash Bros. pro HungryBox creates early pre-release Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl tier list
Super Smash Bros. pro players are understandably excited for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. Taking heavy inspiration from high-level Smash Bros. play, the upcoming Nicktoons title is looking like a fast-paced Smash-style game, but with fan favorite characters from our childhoods.
One of the pros who is particularly excited for this game is none other than one of the Melee gods, Juan " Liquid|HungryBox" Debiedma. The top contender has been analyzing the game very closely since its initial reveal, and now based on what we've seen so far has created an early, pre-release tier list for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl.
Shuckle's cute and relatable Street Fighter art will definitely give you some chuckles
Fighting games are very serious business with high level mental chess taking place with every button press, so it's nice sometimes to just sit back and share some laughs about our favorite genre.
Shuckle is certainly the person for that job, as his cute Street Fighter 5 artwork plays up the aspects of the game worth joking about and others we probably never though of before.
Remembering Street Fighter 4's 5 biggest blunders
Street Fighter 4 is largely responsible for bringing the franchise back from the brink as well as casting the fighting game scene into a golden era, but as much as we 09ers love to look back on the title with fond memories, things weren't always as rosy as our glasses make us think.
In this week's EventHubs Podcast segment, I dig into what I feel were the five biggest blunders Capcom made during Street Fighter 4's lifespan. None of these were large enough to turn the masses away, obviously, but they were some pretty gnarly errors that we're still surprised by today.
Injustice's red band trailer certainly showcases why the movie is rated R
The next Injustice adaptation in to the realm of film is just under a month a way from releasing, and now fans can get a taste of what the darker side of the DC has in store.
A new red band trailer is now available for our viewing pleasure, which definitely showcases why the movie earned an R rating with Superman bringing the pain and destruction.
King of Fighters 15 Designer details Kukri's new special but fails to mention his crimes committed in SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy
Kukri was one of the most interesting newcomers introduced in The King of Fighters 14 with his mysterious origins, motivations and working towards the resurrection of Ash Crimson. It seems like we'll finally be getting some answers in the next entry.
Tomohiro Nakata, lead designer of The King of Fighters 15, has released a special sketch for Kukri where he describes the story implications of what's on the horizon plus his new special move — but fails to mention his transgressions from SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy.
Here's how April O'Neil's 'glass cannon' style and Michelangelo's rushdown work in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl
The developers behind Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl have returned with another character breakdown. This time, we're actually treated to two new showcases featuring Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' own Michelangelo and April O'Neil.
These videos delve into the specifics of how each character's moves function, what they're playstyle is all about, and how to use their unique mechanics. To close them out, we also get to see both fighters in a real bout.
Scorpion and Sub-Zero aren't guest characters in Tekken 7 but they should be based on these killer mods
Tekken 7 has seen its fair share of guest characters from various video games and franchises over the last few years. From Street Fighter's own Akuma to Negan from The Walking Dead, the latest entry in the long running fighting game has a nice spread of outside faces among its roster.
What we haven't seen in Tekken, though, is Mortal Kombat characters join the fight. Based on these awesome mods, however, perhaps that's something that needs to change down the road.
New Nintendo Direct airs tomorrow at 3 p.m. PT, will focus on upcoming Nintendo Switch titles

The stream is expected to run for nearly 40 minutes and promises to bring a steady stream of information on these upcoming titles.
19 year old Korean artist draws Guilty Gear characters in style of traditional Japanese art
When we stumbled across the work of the young Han Gong, a 19 year old Korean artist, we just couldn't stop scrolling. It was actually the image of Potemkin rising up to heavenly heights that caught us first, but it was that image of Nagoriyuki in what looks like a sea of blood that kept us going.
These images all seem to nod back to more traditional Japanese art, and perhaps it's the double whammy of Nagoriyuki being a samurai that makes him pair so well with it.
Luke's alternate costumes left us pretty convinced about his true identity in Street Fighter 5
Luke's initial reveal last month as the final Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition character left many fans wondering just who exactly this new guy is and why he's here in the first place.
Now with Capcom revealing the kickboxer's alternate costumes coming alongside his release, we're fairly convinced the developers have left enough clues to piece together Luke's identity and connections to the series.
