We discuss the odds of a Marvel vs. Capcom 4 reveal at Capcom Cup, how second V-Skills could really help certain characters, and how to beat autopilot
We got at this idea a bit during last week's podcast entry, but we're going in full force this time around as Catalyst and I explore just how realistic a Marvel vs. Capcom 4 reveal at Capcom Cup might be.
Taking into account the company's previous practices, their current relationship with Marvel, and a few other factors, we do feel it comes out to a matter of "when" as opposed to "if." As to whether that "when" be Capcom Cup remains to be seen.
Sindel has a hilariously hard time catching Geras, even when controlled by one of the top Mortal Kombat 11 players in the world
Sindel just made it to the Mortal Kombat 11 roster yesterday and so the community is hard at work finding out both how to play with and against her, but apparently, the Geras match up is currently too much for her to handle.
We're fairly confident players will figure out a way around this, perhaps simply by choosing another variation, but BC|Dragon, this year's MK11 EVO runner up, recently posted some footage of his Sindel trying to hunt down a keep away Geras, and it seems next to impossible for her to get anywhere near close.
Useless Super Smash Bros. Ultimate facts point out remnants of Brawl, color errors, and much more
With a game as jam-packed with content from a plethora of different video game franchises as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, there undoubtedly exist numerous things that you might miss if you're not looking closely. Often times, though, these hidden secrets aren't game-changing in any way but fall more under the category of "interesting to know."
PJiggles has been diving deep into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and has returned with another batch of useless facts that you likely had no idea were a thing. From color inconsistencies to the character with the most victory screen animations, there's plenty of fun facts to sink your teeth into here.

Terry Bogard is the latest character to join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. If you care about this sort of thing, then that means there's yet another fighter to get into Elite Smash.
Getting Terry into Elite Smash shouldn't be too difficult of an ordeal, but I've prepared five tips to make the process even easier. Let's jump right into it.
Capcom releases a more detailed look at Cody's V-Skill 2 in Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition
December is right around the corner, and next month fans can expect to get their hands on Street Fighter 5's newest content. The game will be seeing balance adjustments, as well as a second V-Skill for everyone on the playable roster — all of this will be included in Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition, which is set for release in February next year.
With release drawing nearer, Capcom has been revealing second V-Skills on social media, with a quick look at Juri's, Poison's, and Cody's being the latest showcase. Today, the official Street Fighter Twitter account shared another video this time providing a more detailed look at Cody's V-Skill 2.

Update: Steam's Autumn sale is going on now offering some great fighting game deals and season pass discounts which we've added to the story along with Razer's Black Friday deals.

How to quickly get a human skin for Sindel in Mortal Kombat 11
In Mortal Kombat 11, it has become a bit of a trend to see characters that left off as undead Revenant fighters in Mortal Kombat X join the cast with that ghastly look as their default. For fighters like Kitana or Jade, players would have to play the game's various modes in order to try and unlock a non-Revenant or "human" skin for said characters.
The game just saw the release of it's latest DLC character, returning kombatant Sindel, and the powerful empress has been given the aforementioned Revenant treatment. However, if you're looking to snag a more traditional look for Shao Kahn's wife in short order, here's how you can get one of Sindel's human skins very quickly.
Resident Evil Spirits coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate likely disconfirming the characters as future roster additions
Though it's not something the competitive Smash scene pays much attention to, Spirits are a fairly substantial part of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's various modes and offerings considering they act as buffs and also collectibles.
Nintendo has announced that Resident Evil characters will be joining the Spirit Board later this week, and while this might be a sign to some that someone like Chris Redfield could be joining the roster in the future, it likely means the exact opposite.
Clashing Raging Demons, Rolento's suicide and more; Desk shows off some of the coolest unique animations from older Capcom fighting titles
The lastest venture from Desk doesn't feature crazy combos nor game-breaking bugs but instead acknowledges the many times Capcom went above and beyond to add little Easter eggs to a handful of their older games.
In titles like Street Fighter Alpha, Capcom vs. SNK, and Street Fighter 3, developers snuck in a ton of cameos, references, and special animations that would only trigger if certain conditions were met. Some of them were particularly clever, and will no doubt bring a smile to your face.
Another insane Super Smash Bros. Ultimate combo sees Castlevania's Richter Belmont send Street Fighter's Ryu through too many portals to keep track of
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a game that has its fair share of impressive combos. If you tune into the high-level tournament play taking place nearly every weekend, it won't take long for you to come across a powerful sequence yourself.
However, some players have been trying to take the combo-ability of Smash Ultimate to the next level by using items for incredible trick shots. Today, we have another from the mind of Arumat that sees Castlevania's Richter Belmont put a big hurt on Street Fighter poster boy, Ryu.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's auto-face mechanic for Ryu, Ken, and Terry was a good idea on paper but feels broken at times
Back when Ryu was playable in Super Smash Bros. 4, I remember thinking that it would be cool to implement some sort of auto-face mechanic in 1v1 matches. The idea was that Ryu would automatically face his opponent so long as a button was held down. Or maybe just some way to toggle it on and off during matches.
Imagine my surprise when it was revealed that this mechanic was being implemented — sans the button holding part — for Ryu in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Inevitably, the same mechanic is present for Ken and the latest addition, Terry Bogard. These are the three traditional fighting game representatives in the game after all.
And yet, the actual execution has merely replaced problems with different problems.

Sindel is out and about in the wild for Mortal Kombat 11 Kombat Pack owners, and that means the new content is a-flowin' as the community has begun sharing their findings online.
We've rounded up quite a bit of said content so you can check it all out right here instead of having to track it down yourself. Strap in and get your earplugs ready.
How big will Granblue Fantasy Versus be for the FGC? Prior Cygames title shows massive prize pools, global circuits and continued competitive support
A fighting game project that was announced quite some time ago which has slowly been building momentum in the background leading up to its eventual release is Granblue Fantasy Versus, which is being made by revered fighting game developers Arc System Works and published by the IP holder of Granblue Fantasy, Cygames Inc.
Within the fighting game community, there's been a lot of discussion about the game itself and people being excited to try it out largely based on the virtues of its developer Arc System Works and their proven track record, but what many people outside of Japan probably aren't aware of are the massive striders Cygames have taken not just with their intellectual properties themselves, which are much larger than you might expect, but also with eSports as a whole and the prize money they've pumped in to it. We don't really know how much this will spill over to Granblue Fantasy Versus, but given Cygames track record it seems fair to assume "quite a bit".
Expect world class action at the Capcom Cup Last Chance Qualifier as it already has a ton of extremely strong Street Fighter 5 players signed up
You'd figure if you shave off the top performing 31 players of the year, you'd be left with mostly B-team competitors vying for the chance to break into the big time. That's not at all the case, however, as the Street Fighter 5 tournament scene has exploded with higher and higher levels of competition.
There are currently 152 players signed up for the Last Chance Qualifier event that will precede Capcom Cup next month, and already we have some world class names raring to duke it out in December.
Esau Murga's beautiful, horrifying, and even grotesque art checks all the boxes for Mortal Kombat fans
In honor of Sindel being released in Mortal Kombat 11 today, I was perusing about Twitter looking for some Edenian Queen art to share with you all. I came across a few Sindel takes from Esau Murga, saw some more of his work, and decided it needed to be shared with the EventHubs community.
As you may have garnered from the banner, Murga is a jack of a few different trades when it comes to artistic objectives. Some of his work will captivate you via beauty, but some will you that "can't quite look away even though I want to" vibe as it's either horribly creepy or downright gross. Basically, everything you want from Mortal Kombat.
More footage of Juri's second V-Skill gives us a better idea of how it will work in Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition
We actually got a brief V-Skill 2 showcase yesterday featuring Cody, Poison, and Juri, but Capcom has released a slightly less brief clip showing off a bit more of what Juri's Fuha Enzan can do.
Staying in step with the character's two step special attacks, players will have to store her V-Skill 2 before sending it out onto the battlefield. Today's footage shows us what the animation for storing the technique looks like.
Tekken 7 characters are now available in The King of Fighters Allstar as part of limited timed event with free Jin and potentially expensive purchases
The King of Fighters Allstar is surprisingly decent for a mobile adaptation of the fighting game series, and now the beat-em-up spin-off title is bringing in a completely different roster of martial artists to join the gang for a limited time.
Tekken 7 characters are officially available in King of Fighters Allstar including a free Jin Kazama — or choice of Iori Yagami — for simply logging in, though things can get expensive if you're trying to collect everything.
