Capcom: Street Fighter Alpha series not included in 25th Anniversary Set due to value
Those hoping for the Alpha series to be included in the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Set were in for a rude awakening. All the games included in the set were revealed last week and the Alpha series was nowhere to be found.

In 2012, Wong is taking the west coast by storm with his Street Fighter play. The man has won countless tournaments in games such as AE v.2012, MvC3, MvC2, and the list keeps going.
With so many tournament appearances, one may think it would be in Wong's best interest to step back and take a breather. The only problem is, he doesn't want to. In fact, it's been a long time since the tournament kingpin took a break from the fighting game scene.

Seth Killian: MvC character tier lists mostly miss the point
You're doing it wrong.
That's how Capcom community manager, Seth Killian says he feels regarding Marvel vs. Capcom (MvC) tier lists. This includes character rankings for MvC2, MvC3, and UMvC3.
With tier lists being popular these days, what could be the problem with rankings for the MvC series? The series has always been about the right teams rather than characters.

| Kunimitsu will be a DLC character in TTT2 along with Michelle, Ogre and Angel |
DLC can be a gift and a curse.
On one hand, the more the content the better. On the other hand, paid DLC means a cover up for an incomplete game. The methods of DLC delivery can also cause problems with fans. Just ask Capcom.
You've heard both sides of the story, but what does Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (TTT2) producer, Katsuhiro Harada have to say about it? Find out (via Gamespot) below:

The Big Two is set to go down tonight (May 16) from Next Level in Brooklyn, NY. Sp00ky and the gang are ready to provide the live stream at 8 p.m. ET.
While the official start time is set, Sp00ky usual tests his equipment an hour earlier. You may be able to catch some casual with formidable players.
The usual Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (UMvC3), Street Fighter x Tekken (SFxT) and Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition v.2012 (AE v.2012) action will be played. SFxT's chances of making it on the stream depends on the turnout.
See the Big Two live stream below:

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 expected to sell 2 million copies
More expectations.
Namco Bandai revealed during a presentation (via Andriasang) they are expecting to sell two million copies of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (TTT2). The game will be released for Xbox 360 and PS3 in September.
The company responsible for the Tekken series isn't the only one throwing out sales expectations. Recently Tecmo Koei said they expect Dead or Alive 5 (DoA 5) to sell one million units. Capcom predicted two million SFxT sales, but have come up short thus far with 1.4 million copies sold.

Skullgirls: Parasoul Coast to Coast (Video)
A new Skullgirls combo video has hit the web. Rkoehl (perhaps a Randy Orton reference) has put the attention of his clip on Parasoul. Infinites may be blocked in this game, but a 33 hit combo that does some damage isn't too bad.
Capcom re-evaluating DLC delivery method
So they say.
Before its release, Street Fighter x Tekken (SFxT) was marred by controversy. Since they were first announced at New York Comic Con 2011, gems have left a bad taste in the mouths of the fighting game community (FGC). An even bigger issue occurred just before launch day.
On-disc DLC.
To avoid more controversy in the future, Capcom Vice President, Christian Svensson has took to Capcom-Unity to address fans who are losing hope and patience. See his official statement after the jump.
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Magneto 726,600k damage no meter (Video)
Magneto is not one to take lightly in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (UMvC3). The Master of Magnetism doesn't even need meter to put a beating on his opponents as shown by rayray19wun. All he needs are some drones. NOTE: The video quality is low.

See Harada's top six below:

Capcom: We're considering changing the release date for SFxT DLC characters
The DLC saga continues.
By now you probably realize that Capcom will include 12 new characters on the PS Vita version of Street Fighter x Tekken (SFxT). In all likelihood you also know these characters were found hidden as DLC in the console versions of the game.
The controversy certainly didn't help the sales of SFxT. Thus far, the game has sold 1.4 million copies, below Capcom's expectation of two million.
SFxT's interim producer, Tomoaki Ayano took to the Capcom Blog to address concerns of lack of interest in the game by the time characters hit Xbox Live and PSN. See what he said after the jump.

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (UMvC3) is the perfect game to start. Has there ever been a

like Wednesday Night Fights.
While
there was some controversy surrounding Ultimate being a retail disc rather than
DLC less than a year after the original title was released, the community never
left. In fact, it only got stronger. Fans from across the world tune in to see
players such as Tokido, F. Champ, Chris G, Viscant, and many more compete in
numerous tournaments.
