SFV "Here comes a new mayor!" Cody Trailer

In 1989, a street wise brawler, Cody Travers was sent to prison by a crooked cop named Edi E. for a crime he did not commit. Cody promptly escaped from a maximum security prison to the Metro City underground to help his friend Guy. Today, now a part of the Metro City government he busts ass as a Mayor and a Street Fighter. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him....maybe you can hire Cody Travers.

Part 3 of The Tomb Portable's theory that Death Stranding is MGS0

The third video of the Tomb Portable's theory has finally arrived! And I can't wait to watch the entire video! Being at work makes this somewhat challenging. If you are a fan of the franchise I highly recommend watching these video's!


I'm excited to see What Hideo unveils at E3 this year next month! E3 is 6/12-6/14!

SFV AE Weekly Missions and Extra Battle Mode for 5/24/18 -5/31/18

It's Friday May 25th, the 17th week of AE and this weeks missions went live at 12AM last night! This weeks missions are:


Perform a Normal Throw 10X for 50 FM
View Rankings on the CFN for 250 FM
Win 10 Battle Lounge matches for 500 FM
Special Move Sensation for 2,500 FM


I'll post a video below to show how to complete the requirements for Special Move Sensation.



Go to Versus Mode, Choose Versus CPU, keep the CPU difficulty at 4 ,set the match for best of 5, choose the default Kanzuki Estate Stage, choose an opponent, and perform a combo on the opponent on the mid/left side of the stage while 3 ninja's go down the zip line in the background at once.

After finishing the missions go tackle this weeks eXtra Battle Mode fights, this week there’s two;

1) M. Bison's 3rd [Q&I] Crossover costume challenge for 2,500 FM (I'm skipping this one)

2) Upper Class Shadaloo Soldier for 5,000 FM X3  for a 1,000 FM entry fee per attempt.


This weeks missions will net you 3,300 FM plus an additional 12,000 FM if you beat the Upper Class Shadaloo Soldier 3/3 times, minus 2,500 FM if your getting Bison's Crossover Costume and another 1000 FM for each attempt against the Upper Class Shadaloo Soldier.



The Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection launches in 4 days! I'm hyped to go old school for a break from SFV!


Thanks to VesperArcade for the heads up that Capcom has updated the SFV logo on their twitter page which means a new fighter is about to enter the ring! Cody is gonna be announced soon....and the most logical time would be at Combo Breaker 2018!


Based on the schedule I'm guessing the trailer will drop Sunday around 6:30/ 7:00 PM EST



And then on May 31st we're fighting the Experienced Shadaloo Soldier for 20,000 EXP X3 for a 1000 FM entry fee.




As always keep fighting the good fight....stop lag switching and avoid sodium overdose. Be smart with your FM don't complain about the XBM golden soldiers because the alternative is Capcom charging RM for all DLC characters.

The Predator Teaser Trailer thoughts and Impressions

From the director of Iron Man 3? ....really? That's how you're first piece of marketing begins? I would've gone with "From the actor that played Hawkins in the original Predator".
I like the juxtaposition of the boy playing with his toy and the Predator ship crashing on Earth. So this kid reads popular mechanics.....mmmmkay >.>
So this predator ship crashes in nowheresville, home town, USA and has a very Spielbergian look to it. I'm having horrible recurring memories of AVP: Requiem...... 

And Oliva Munn works as some sort of medical type there along with prince Adam (He Man) who happens to be an assassin along with Keegan-Michael Key....kay.

OK so what it looks like from this trailer the Predator was driving drunk and crashes on earth, loses his hit then goes looking for it in. Blondie finds it and mails it to his son in tiny town USA where he lives with his mommy (Olivia Munn) and she is able to determine this alien has been planet hoping and upgrading his shiz.
So what is an alien gonna find on earth that his own civilization (that can travel in space) doesn't have?
Shane Black does have an impressive resume but this doesn't seem that good.

The Return of the Rapidly Advancing Shadaloo Grunt SFV AE Extra Battle

This weeks new missions go live tonight at midnight and we're getting a second round against the Rapidly Advancing Shadaloo Grunt.
We've seen this douche bag before he costs 500 FM ea. fight X3 for a total of 30K EXP.
So as a public service to the FGC here's my fights against this silver bucket head!

SFV AE Weekly Missions and Extra Battle Mode for 5/3/18 -5/10/18

It's Thursday May 3rd, the 14th week of AE and this weeks missions went live at 12AM! This weeks missions are:

  •  Perform a combo 10X for 50 FM 
  •  Play Survival Mode for 250 FM 
  • Win 10 ranked matches for 2,500 FM 
  • Funny Guy for 2,500 FM 
And if you bought the CPT 2018 pass May’s challenge is:

  • Win 10 ranked matches for 7,000 FM. 
I'll post a video below to show how to complete the requirements for Funny Guy.




Go to Versus Mode, Choose Versus CPU, set the difficulty to 1 (for an easier life), choose Union Station Stage, choose an opponent, and beat your opponent in the center of the stage, and hit them with a combo that will make the old guy dancing around stumble and fall down. I happened to be on the Union Station Stage in a Battle Lounge when the missions went live....




 After finishing the missions go tackle this weeks eXtra Battle Mode fights, this week there’s two;

 1) Guile’s 4th [Q&I] Crossover costume challenge for 2,500 FM




2) Middle Class Shadaloo Grunt for a 500 FM entry fee and a 2,500 FM reward X3



This weeks missions will net you 5,300 FM, plus an additional 7000 FM for the month of May if you bought the CPT 2018 package, plus 6000FM for defeating the Middle Class Shadaloo Grunt after the 1,500FM fee for the 3 attempt's. I beat the Middle Class Shadaloo Grunt 2/3 times so I only got 3,500 FM but it's still better than some weeks where I end up in the red.

Capcom Unity has posted the May schedule for the XBM Shadaloo Soldiers


Starting May 10th we get the Rapidly Advancing Shadaloo Grunt for 10,000 EXP X3 for a 500 FM entry fee.

Then on May 24th we're fighting the Upper Class Shadaloo Soldier for 5,000 FM X3 for a 1000FM entry fee.

And then on May 31st we're fighting the Experienced Shadaloo Soldier for 20,000 EXP X3 for a 1000 FM entry fee.

Also Bison will be getting his Crossover Costume starting May 10th.! Astaroth the final boss from Ghosts and Goblins. Below is the schedule.


I'm probably gonna pass on Bison's Crossover costume as I'm hovering at just over 100K FM and I want to be sure I have enough FM for Cody when he launches!

As always keep fighting the good fight....stop lag switching and avoid sodium overdose. Be smart with your FM don't complain about the XBM golden soldiers because the alternative is Capcom charging RM for all DLC characters.

Red Dead Redemption II Trailer #3

Last generation Rock Star gave us probably one of the best games of that generation, no not GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption! I was absolutely absorbed in the story and loved the open world online. Now I didn't get the game at launch but my friend Krogenar lent me his copy and I was immediately stunned by the beauty of the world of New Austin, West Elizabeth and Nuevo Paraiso. The game also had one of gamings greatest characters, John Marston! I would put him in the same league as Solid Snake, Mario, Ryu and Samus.

 The game was full of memorable characters besides John Marston, Bonnie MacFarlane a rancher that saves him from a fatal gun shot wound from a former gang member Bill Williamson, then there's the con man Nigel West Dickens, the creepy grave robber Seth Briars, Irish the drunk, Landon Ricketts the old gunslinger living out his remaining days in Neuvo Paraiso, the rebel Abraham Reyes, and Dutch van der Linde the former leader of the gang John Marston was a member of , and who agent Edgar Ross of the Bureau of Investigation is ultimately is after.
Which leads us to Red Dead Redemption II coming out October 26th! DRD II is a definite day 1 purchase for me!
