Why Random Select is the Best Character
When I’m stuck with work or feeling uninspired and generally sluggish, there’s nothing I love more than jumping onto Street Fighter X Tekken or Super Street Fighter 4 AE 12, hopping online and playing in ranked as that glorious little question mark character known as random select. It’s not to learn characters outside my main, nor to get styled on by beasts. No, the reason I use random select is far more important than that: it gets me out of my own head.
I have the sometime-luxury, sometime-curse of working at home. It can hard to find self motivation at times, or to come up with new ideas about what to write about. At these times, I know I’m performing poorly because I’m stuck on auto-pilot. I’m not really doing anything, just mashing away on keys like a scrub mashes Shoryuken (I’m often that scrub myself, by the way). What I need is to get back to living in the moment, and for that, nothing is better (in gaming anyway) than Read more [...] SSF4 & SFxT Best Characters? RANDOM!

Wallet Raping! SFxT for Vita:
With New Characters Elena, Dudley, Sakura, Christie, Lei,
“The battle has only just begun” states the trailer for Street Fighter x Tekken on PS Vita. The statement seems pretty ironic, given that for this author the SFxT battle ended long ago after realising just how broken SFxT online play was.
But there’s good news! If you buy SFxT for both the PS3 andPS Vita you’ll get new characters for the PS3 version! Urggghhhh… somehow it feels like Capcom are trying to rape my wallet. “Will you cross the line?” asks the trailer at the end. No, I won’t, but Capcom already have. . . they’ve barrel-rolled right over that SOB line.
Anyway, here are the new Street Fighter x Tekken characters Capcom are hoping to tempt you with.

Street Fighter X Tekken Character Select Screen Psychology
Character Select Psychology Lesson 1: Pick Someone Else
First thing’s first. If you’ve been playing Street Fighter or Tekken for a few years you’ve likely got one or two favourite characters who you know pretty well. You know their moves, their basic gameplay style and have a pretty good idea how to win with them. By picking these characters you’ll likely set yourself up for some early victories but you might regret it down the line. Why?
Beginner’s Mind
Beginner’s Mind is a concept that originated in Zen Buddhism and which essentially refers to having a mind that is open and eager to learn. Essentially, a beginner’s mind enables you to absorb more information, whether in real life or in a video game. The problem is that preconceptions inhibit your beginner’s mind. When you have a preconceived idea of how something will be you subconsciously map reality to your preconception.

Five Ways Ryu in Street Fighter Inspires Me
Ryu in Street Fighter is, without doubt, one of the most popular video game characters of all time. Back in the 90s every gamer wanted to be Ryu, and it wasn’t just for his awesome fighting skills, his moves set that has inspired countless clones, or even the fact that he could kick the crap out of anyone he chose. Underneath all that glossy shine of fireballs and dragon punches lay something that at the time seemed illusive: a personality, a character, a hero. Ryu was always more than some fighting moves; he was a role model. He inspired fans all around the world in a great many ways. Indeed, so excellent a character is Ryu that compiling this list of the top five ways in which Ryu inspires me has been no easy task, but looking back on my 21 years of playing Street Fighter I feel confident in saying that the following list contains the very best inspirations Ryu has offered to me personally. Of course, you’ll have your own opinion Read more [...]

Today is the Day Games Become Real
I want to share a secret with you. It’s up to you what you do with it, if you keep it to yourself, tell your friends, relatives or whoever, but I want to share it with you.
My secret is this.
Games are real.
Yes, that’s right, video games. For years we have been told that games are just fantasy, that the characters are not real, that the action that occurs in games doesn’t really happen in real life. But it does.
What am I talking about? Well, I’m talking about You.
You see, there’s this obscure and nonsensical notion that all of gaming is just make-pretend; that none of it is real. Yet the most important part of gaming is powerfully real. And the most important part of gaming is you: Your emotional, psychological reactions to games.
When you play Marcus Fenix in Gears of War 3 and you feel that sense of power and leadership. That’s real.
When you play Ryu and you feel like you could defeat any opponent that stands Read more [...]

[relevant-to-adsense type="ignore"]
Top Game Rewards 19
Mortal Kombat 2’s Noob Saibot Fight
Overview : We all know about this one, right? Noob Saibot / Boon Tobias (developers). To a fighting game player around my old old age MK2’s Noob Saibot fight feels like an urban legend. You win 50 fights and you fight the grey version of the yellow version of the blue version of a ninja dude.. or something like that.
Reward Type : Empowering (amongst others) This reward actually cover several of the reward types but fits most comfortably into the “empowering” archetype. Winning 50 rounds at the time made you feel pretty damn hardcore. I mean that’s about 200 gallons of blood you’ve spilt. If you don’t feel powerful at that point you never will!
Why it’s so good: You didn’t get many characters in beat-em-ups at the time of MK2 so the discovery of a new one really was a big thing.

Top 9.5 Games That Make You Feel Powerful
4 : Street Fighter 4 Series
Why It's On The List : It's one thing being given power without effort, which is what the majority of games do, but to truly value your power and to feel it thoroughly, you need to be engaged in its creation. You want to know that YOU made your character powerful. The Steet Fighter 4 series is brilliant at that. Whether you're a pathetic noob or a master, in Street Fighter, your power truly lies in your own hands.. well.. unless you use Yung, Yang or Fei. XD
