What were the best and worst Fatalities in Mortal Kombat X? Maximilian relives these gory finishers, one at a time, and rates them all
We're a mere two days away from what looks to be the biggest and baddest Mortal Kombat release to date, so what better way to pass the time (and prepare our stomachs) than to rewatch the Fatalities of Mortal Kombats past?
Maximilian's recent "Rate The" entry examines the kill moves of Mortal Kombat X, the goriest (yet soon be dethroned) franchise entry ever. All 33 combatants remind us of the particularly imaginative ways they ultimately dispose of their foes, a handful of which we admit we had forgotten about.
Punk and Daigo tear through the competition while Birdie and Bison are looking scary as hell: The Mixup 2019 highlights for Street Fighter 5
Action just wrapped up in Lyon, France for Street Fighter 5 in Europe's first Capcom Pro Tour Premier event where potentially the strongest regions in the world sent their world warriors, and only one could come out on top.
The Mixup 2019 had about as much of a diverse top 8 as you can find at a major with CYG|Daigo Umehara, Rec|Punk, Mouz|Problem X, FD|Haitani, NASR|AngryBird and CAG|Dogura trying to run away with all of the early CPT points for the season.
Kirby gets a gun in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate thanks to Joker
There's a lot of excitement going around right now since the latest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate update is up and running. On top of adding the first DLC character from the Fighters Pass — Joker from Persona 5 — the Smash Ultimate 3.0 patch introduced several balance changes for a healthy portion of the game's massive roster.
Despite character changes and Joker to discuss, there of course exists a portion of the internet that is more fixated on the fact that Kirby now has a gun in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. When he inhales the new DLC character, his neutral special becomes a small pistol, and people seem to love that.
Did the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Joker trailer tease Banjo Kazooie as DLC characters?
The full reveal trailer for Persona 5's Joker in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate came alongside a 15-minute character breakdown and run through of the additions in the 3.0 update. This patch also brought with it free content, such as the new Stage Builder mode, and this new feature was showcased in the trailer to grant fans a glimpse of how it works and examples of the types of stages you can make.
We saw several different create-a-stages, and one of them has fans thinking that it might actually be a hint at one of this season's DLC characters. Did one of the stages hint at Banjo and Kazooie's inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?

Given infinite meter in Training Mode, Desk has been able to grind out 100+ hit combos, and discovered that the game actually draws the line at 99 hits... sort of.

Newly discovered Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tech allows characters to still attack while holding items making Peach even scarier than she already is
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate may be missing some of the competitive favorite techniques from Melee like strong wavedashes, but there is still new discoveries being made constantly within the new game's battle system with the latest offering the possibility to shake things up quite a bit.

Crafty player uses Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's new Stage Builder mode to perform an insane combo
In fighting games, it is a common practice for some dedicated players to try and push the limits of the combo system and come up with the most stylish and creative sequences that they can. These combos usually aren't practical or optimal, and you can think of them more like trick shots in pool.
We've seen these trick shots performed and recorded in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as well, with players using items or other characters' special moves to pull off crazy combos. The most insane and impressive I've seen yet, however, comes from Twitter user tuoraijin and utilizes Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's new Stage Builder mode to create something truly beautiful.

Here's the colors, Easter egg and gameplay footage of Zeku's Kenji costume from Red Earth in Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition
Capcom has a long has a long history of using ninjas in their titles — especially fighting games — from the likes of Guy and Ibuki to Strider Hiryu though many probably wouldn't initially think about the blue ninja from Red Earth in that list.
We're still two weeks away from Zeku's crossover costume for Kenji in Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition going live for the general public, but as per usual data-miners and modders have gotten their hands on the outfit early allowing us to see what will be waiting for us in May.
