Danielle becomes Taki from Soul Calibur, Kasumi from Dead or Alive, and Asuka from Tekken, the latter of which she's hardly recognizable in. All three of these 3D fighting females look gorgeous in these photos, but which is the best?

You can't be mad at this one-touch Soul Calibur comeback... but we still would be
For some intangible reason, Isabelle "Ivy" Valentine is often beloved by gamers at first sight. That said, play enough rounds against her in Soul Calibur 6 and you may find your frustrations outweighing your affections.
A recent upload of just 20 seconds of SC6 gameplay by TheInfectious_D reminds us all of just how volatile this character (and game) can be as he mounts a comeback that would likely cause us to drop the game entirely if it happened to us.

Put your tax return to work with strong fighting game deals in PlayStation's Spring Sale
The end of tax season can be a stressful time for many (in America at least), but those who end up with a tax return gain some extra money for their pockets — so why not blow off some steam in a new fighting game or 2?
PlayStation is currently running their seasonal Spring Sale that's offering strong fighting game discounts for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
We probably won't be seeing a new fighting game use Unreal Engine 5 anytime soon
As fans of the genre likely came to realize, the Unreal Engine 4 ended up powering most of the largest fighting games of this past generation from Street Fighter 5 and Tekken 7 to Guilty Gear Strive and The King of Fighters 15.
It's looking like we may be waiting quite a while, however, to see its successor the Unreal Engine 5 begin to pick up steam for the next generation of fighters.
Can the ultimate fighting game crossover ever happen? Katsuhiro Harada wants to create the King of Fighters of the entire industry

Twitter account posing as Bandai Namco shares fake image of Soul Calibur 7, gets scolded by Tekken producer
It's April Fool's Day in the US now (yep, two days of April Fool's jokes...) and the internet is taking their best swings at pranking those who might let their guard down. One joker decided to try and pull a fast one on fans by posing as Bandai Namco on Twitter, and their little stunt grabbed the attention of one of Tekken's most prominent producers.
An account claiming to be Bandai Namco US posted an obviously fake teaser image of "Soul Calibur 7," telling fans to stay tuned. Tekken producer and right hand man to director Katsuhiro Harada, Michael Murray, responded to the tweet and voiced his displeasure for it.

Update: The 3rd Japan Fighting Game Publishers Roundtable stream is now live. Come watch it with us below.

The Japan Fighting Game Publishers Roundtable is scheduled to be held for the third time tonight with many familiar faces as well as some new ones from Capcom, Bandai Namco, Arc System Works, SNK and more sitting down to discuss fighting games — and hopefully show some announcements too.
