SFxT: Mini Cammy combo video by Desk
Street Fighter x Tekken (SFxT) may not be a fan favorite, but Desk is sticking with the Capcom crossover. His latest offering marks the 24th SFxT video he has posted. Cammy is the character of focus.
Here's a description from Desk:
"Cancelling into and dashing out of charge moves allows you pressure your opponent and extend juggle combos. However, it's rarely useful in grounded combos.
Doing the same thing with ex charge specials actually makes you dash much quicker and in some cases (like with Cammy) allows you to dash up and combo after fierce attacks. It's not something you see often as it usually quite difficult but it looks awesome and is great for style combos.
This isn't something I've really looked into before but is one of the many cool subtleties of the SFxT engine that's fun to explore."

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will receive small balance tweaks for console versions
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (TTT2) producer Katsuhiro Harada took part in a Q&A session with GameSpot Australia and Shadowloo. Harada discussed many topics regarding TTT2. Chief among them was balancing.
While we shouldn't expect great character changes in the future, there will be some minor adjustments. Here are some notes from the Q&A session (via EventHubs):
- They've done a series of balance updates in the arcade releases of TTT2, and they will make some small/minor tweaks to the characters for the console release of the game too, mostly cause of adding all of the new fighters. They said the changes are minor, they're not going to change the core gameplay much.
- Harada is also considering tweaking the solo mode vs. tag mode balance a bit as well.
- While some people complained Steve was too dominate in Tekken 6, Harada said the data they pulled from online matches and arcade sets showed that people lost to other characters more.

Street Fighter 2 combo movie by Desk
Desk has pretty much done it all.
The popular YouTube uploader has tackled games such as Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (UMvC3) and Street Fighter x Tekken (SFxT). He even took a chance with Avatar Fighter Online. Desk isn't called the "Fighting Game Breaker" for nothing.
While we've seen Desk "break" tons of modern fighting games, many wondered how he would fair with the older titles. Considering how unbalanced fighters were in the 1990s, it's no surprise that Desk has reached success once again.

NetherRealm is "definitely aware of the Evo guys" and will accommodate them in Injustice: Gods Among Us
Since the announcement of Injustice: Gods Among Us, NetherRealm has turned some heads. The game features heroes and villains from DC Comics. Those in the fighting game community (FGC) have expressed anticipation for the title, but are approaching it with caution.
There are numerous reasons to believe that Injustice may cause a disturbance in the tournament scene. One reason is the fear of it being too similar to the Mortal Kombat series. While Boon has addressed that fear, he hasn't touched on how stages might impact tournament play.
The silence is broken.
