Rejected Street Fighters, the worst stages and just how terrible is Metro City? - Fighterpedia returns from the year 2011 with a full HD remaster

Fighterpedia originally released as a 13-part series in 2011 as a celebration of fighting games and the absolute absurdity of them, but they became impossible to watch legitimately in recent times after Machinima began removing videos before their complete closure earlier this year.

Woolie and Matt McMuscles, the original creators of the Fighterpedia and formerly of Super Best Friends Play, began the task in 2018 to remaster and remake the show that introduced the world to Zubaz plus a bunch of references and memorable quotes which are still uttered around the community today.

The first three episodes of Fighterpedia HD are now live with re-recorded audio and visuals with editing duties falling to another community member in Daisy Del Carmen, but they didn't stop with a simple remaster. New visuals and dialogue / jokes have also been added to the videos to update them for the seven years that have passed since the original while keeping the spirit of 2011's FGC.

"In terms of changes, the main goal is to free it from the old pre-widescreen, 560 x 340 format of 2011, and re-render the assets in a more future-proof way," said Woolie. "While we're at it, however, we figured that we might as well take the opportunity to save ourselves from any jokes that make us cringe watching it now, or add extra parts in some episodes to make EX meter burn versions of the original bit now that we know the future."

Rejected Street Fighters is perhaps the most well-known of the series as its first episode and the video that gave the internet the unused bullfighter character with the name 'Zubaz' on his shirt, who has since gone on to appear in a number of video games like Divekick, Pocket Rumble and Shovel Knight. It also showed off art of prototype fighters for Street Fighter 2 with the evolution of Vega from a ninja to a Templar knight before reaching his final design while Zangief was named 'Vodka Gorbalsky.'

The second remaster released was for the seven best and worst fighting game stages circa 2011 including the likes of Street Fighter Alpha 2's iconic Stormy Fields, Akuma randomly roaming the halls of the Shadaloo base in Street Fighter: The Movie The Game and King of Fighters 2002's strange giant clogs and sheep. May we never speak of Pokefloats again.

Damn... these 'reasons' why people don't play certain fighting games are brutal and really funny

Name any fighting game, any one that ever existed, and you've undoubtedly heard someone give their "reasons" for not playing it or why it's no good.

Whether it be too noob friendly or wasn't released on the right console, people love to complain about things in the fighting game community. All of us do it, whether we're willing to admit it or not. (Menat's standing heavy punch is cheap and totally unfair!)

Reddit user XXXCheckmate recently put together a graphic that lists some of the most common complaints about many of today's most popular fighting games. They're brutal, funny as hell, and a very accurate depiction of the stuff you'll come across online and in real life.

Street Fighter 5, Tekken 7, Injustice 2, Dragon Ball FighterZ, BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, none of these games are safe from the ax, and they're all included here.

"Top 8 is all the same," "F U N C T I O N S," "half the roster is Goku," are among some of the classic complaints we see regularly. I also have to give it up for "no Testament, no invest-ament," because that's pretty darn good.

At the end of the day, it's all in good fun. Everyone is still going to play the games they love, despite the criticism. Unless it's that one Sailor Moon fighting game, then everyone is going to play it because it's perfect...

The weekend is almost here, so relax a little and read over these funny complaints to share a laugh with us.

Skullgirls 2nd Encore reportedly coming to Nintendo Switch

Anime Expo is currently underway in Los Angeles, California. While we don't typically see many fighting game announcements come out of the event, it seems that one was indeed made and it involves another fighter coming to the Nintendo Switch.

It is being reported that Skullgirls 2nd Encore is going to be released on Nintendo's console / handheld hybrid.

Twitter user AtroxChobatsu shared a photo of a slide from the Lab Zero panel that took place at Anime Expo showing Skullgirls 2nd Encore on Switch. No release date was given.

It does not appear that an official statement has been released by Lab Zero or the game's developers just yet, but the photo does look authentic.

Skullgirls 2nd Encore will join a number of different fighting games on the Nintendo Switch including Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final Challengers, SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy (set for release in September), and of course Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which is due out in December.

If you've never seen Skullgirls before, this title is a Versus-style fighting game that lets you choose up to three characters for fast-paced team battles. There's a colorful cast of interesting characters to select from including Cerebella, Peacock, Painwheel, Ms. Fortune, and more.

Encore also brings with it the post-launch DLC characters: Squigly, Big Band, Fukua, Eliza, Beowulf, and Robo Fortune. For more information and the Skullgirls 2nd Encore's launch trailer, be sure to hit the jump.

From Street Fighter to Guilty Gear and even a little RWBY, check out these wonderful fighting game art sketches from Liyart

We're sharing some gorgeous fighting game art work from Riot concept artist liyart today.

Hailing from multiple different regions of the fighting game realm liyart's work samples from Street Fighter, Skullgirls, Dragon Ball FighterZ, RWBY and Guilty Gear, all of it highlighting female combatants.

My personal favorite has to be Chun-Li looking extra beautiful side profile with her hair down, but Jam Kuradoberi came in as a close second.

The toonish style the artist uses doesn't take anything away from these characters' clear and brimming personalities as they shine through via facial expressions and poses.

Please let us know which of these pieces from today's gallery were your favorites, and be sure to check out liyart's other work at their Twitter and other media pages.

Updated: What franchises would you like to see added to BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle? The results are in

Update: The results for the poll are in. You can check out how your favorites fared after the jump below.

Arc System Works is combining four different franchises across multiple forms of media under one fighting game roof with BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, and it looks like they are looking to expand with another room or two.

Earlier this month, representatives from ArcSys asked fans what other franchises outside of the currently present BlazBlue, Persona, Under Night In-Birth and RWBY they would like to see added into the game with future support.

ArcSys talked about properties like Skullgirls, Avatar: The Last Airbender and Fate/ stay night in their previous streams and asked for feedback on Twitter while stating "Japan is listening."

Obviously the barrel of franchises you could pull out of here are potentially infinite, but I've collected the most popular responses to the past article and added in some extras to give a broad variety of choices across games and animation.

This list isn't necessarily about which franchises are the most practical, but more about which you would be most excited for and would fit into the game (and no Cory in the House is not an option).

You can find the poll after the jump where you can vote for up to two of your favorite choices, and let us know if we missed anything (because I'm sure we did).
