Super Street Fighter 4:Arcade Edition Balence Patch Being Worked On



-See guys Capcom doesn't ALWAYS want your money, just your opinions


With Arcade Edition releasing last June for PS3, 360, and finally PC players have had some complaints with changes to the new character as well as rebalences for old characters. At EVO 2011 Ono announced that they are working on a patch for the game and wants to get your opinions at his twitter feed and at Capcom Unity. There are no specific changes announced yet, but you can expect to see this patch go live this fall or winter.


I am very excited to hear this because as much as I am enjoying Arcade Edition, there are some changes I would like to see be made to the new characters so it's not gonna be all Yuns forever. Also I feel all the 4 new characters are a bit over powered and could be brought down a bit. What do you think they should change in this patch? Also what do you want to stay the same? Sound off in the comments below.

Black Ops DLC #3 Annihilation Impresstions



-For once I actually like these new MP maps


Getting the basic information out of the way, as always this map pack cost $15, adds 4 new multiplayer maps and a new zombie experience called Shangri-la and is available for 360, PS3, and PC. Also on a side note this weekend there is a double XP event going on so keep on leveling up.


The MP maps are pretty interesting compared to the last 2 map-packs (which I also have). One that really stands out to me is Hazzard which is a large and vast golf course. It has a good mix of close and long distance combat. The other maps are a drive-in movie theater, missile silo, and hanger 18. So If you are looking for some new maps to spice up black ops this DLC really delivers.


Now to one of my favorite parts of black ops is the zombie mode and with ever other DLC pack for the game this includes a whole new level to play. Shangi-la is a very interesting take on the zombie mode formula. After the amazing Call Of the Dead level Shangri-la had some big shoes to fill and does. Something you will notice imminently is this level is a bright jungle setting which is nice since all the other levels take place at night or a dark building. No special characters are in this level but the normal crew returns with lots of funny but forgettable dialogue. Finally a cool little thing this level adds is how you turn on the power and what it does. The power is all related to the water and pipes the player uses to get around from the underground to the jungle level.


So if you have black ops, $15, and a lot of free time (which I don't have) you should have already picked this up so get on it. If you are wanting to get black ops and not sure what DLC to get 1st if your not getting all 3 so far, I would recommend picking this up 1st and at the moment is my favorite mappack.

$15?WORTH IT!

Want Something To Do This Weekend?



-Well if you didn't know EVO is this weekend


As a big fighting game fan myself I will be spending as much time as possible watching all the matches I can. If you are a fan of Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition, Marvel vs Capcom 3, and Mortal Kombat you will see the greatest players in the world really going at it. You can even watch EVO on PS Home this year for the 1st time if you cant stream on a computer so now there are more options for watching more then ever. Hopefully one year I will attend one of these years, but will need to keep up with the practice.
