Street Fighter V - Laura Reveal Trailer

Capcom officially announced Brazilian fighter Laura in the latest trailer for Street Fighter V!

Very interesting character. Laura is a Jiu-Jitsu fighter, but she wields electricity like Blanka, and her spin move looks like something right out of his moveset as well. Also, her fighting style is referred to as "Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu", which could mean she has a connection to Sean Matsuda, a Brazilian fighter from Street Fighter III. Furthermore, she is the first grappler in the series to wield a projectile. It will be interesting to see how this new kind of character will be utilized during gameplay.

Capcom also released information about Laura's V-Skill and V-Trigger. Laura's V-Skill is called Linear Movement, which allows her to quickly move forward to attack, or backward to escape. She can also change it up to confuse her opponent. If the player does not specify a direction to move when activating this skill, Laura will perform an overhead kick instead.

Laura's V-Trigger is called Spark Show, an electric buff that makes it easier to stun opponents, and allows her Thunder Clap projectile and Linear Movement to go further.

I don't think your arm is supposed to bend that way.

Laura joins Ryu, Chun-Li, Charlie Nash, M. Bison, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, Vega, Necalli, R. Mika, Rashid, Karin, and Zangief as part of the game's roster of world warriors. The final roster is expected to have 16 playable fighters total, so expect two more characters to be revealed soon.

No official release date has been announced, but Street Fighter V is expected to arrive no later than spring 2016 exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

Street Fighter V - Zangief Reveal Trailer

Zangief piledrives the competition in the newest trailer for Street Fighter V!

Wow. The Red Cyclone looks stronger than ever. Zangief has gained a "V-Skill" called Iron Muscle, which allows him to absorb one attack and recover health. His "V-Trigger" is called the Cyclone Lariat and allows him to spin very quickly, pulling in his opponent for a multi-hit attack. Each character in the game has his or her own V-Skill and V-Trigger.

Karin is another old character who was recently announced.

Like R. Mika, Karin hasn't been seen since Street Fighter Alpha 3 back in 1998. Her new V-Skill is a knockdown attack that can go through projectiles like Ryu's fireball. Her V-Trigger is an incredibly flexible attack with a variety of follow-ups and variations at your disposal after the initial attack connects. This allows Karin to control the flow of the fight while confusing her opponent.

Zangief and Karin join Ryu, Chun-Li, Charlie Nash, M. Bison, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, Vega, R. Mika, Necalli, and Rashid as part of the game's roster of world warriors.

No official release date has been announced, but Street Fighter V is expected to arrive no later than spring 2016 exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

Street Fighter V - Rashid Reveal Trailer

Capcom revealed new Middle-Eastern fighter Rashid in the newest trailer for Street Fighter V!

Rashid looks like a really fun character. He is incredibly agile, which fits well with his unique wind-based attacks. But what is with that scouter he wears over his left eye? Maybe there is an interesting backstory to the "Turbulent Wind".

Rashid joins the savage Necalli as newcomers to the series. Street Fighter veterans Ryu, Chun-Li, Charlie Nash, M. Bison, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, Vega, and R. Mika have also been announced as part of the roster.

No official release date has been announced, but Street Fighter V is expected to arrive no later than spring 2016 exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

Pokémon GO - Announce Trailer

Nintendo has released the trailer for Pokémon GO, their first augmented reality game for Android and iOS!

Capturing Pokémon in the real world sounds like a dream come true for many gamers, young and old, but how well will that translate into mobile gaming? Game developer Niantic, who worked on the successful augmented reality mobile game Ingress, will bring their valuable experience to the popular Nintendo franchise. So it appears the game is in good hands.

Nintendo will also be releasing a bluetooth device compatible with the game called the Pokemon GO Plus.  It is not necessary to enjoy the game, but it does have some perks. The device will allow budding Pokémon trainers to perform basic actions in the game such as catching Pokémon with the simple press of a button. It will also alert players of nearby Pokémon and events.

The Pokémon GO Plus. Wear your guilty pleasure!

The game will be free to download and play, but expect lots of potential in-game purchases.... and a hefty cellphone bill.

No official release date has been announced, but Pokémon GO is scheduled to be available on Google Play and the App Store in 2016.

Arrow - Season 4 Trailer

The CW debuted the season 4 trailer for Arrow at Dragon Con and it has a few surprises.

Yes, that is Constantine at the 43 second mark. Looking forward to that crossover. Now if another network could just pick up the series where it left off.

Also noteworthy, Diggle debuts his new crimefighting costume this season.

Magneto?

It's about time he donned a mask. Diggle looks a bit like a modern version of The Guardian, an obscure hero from the pages of DC Comics.

The trailer also showed off Neal McDonough as Damien Darkh, Alexander Calvert as Anarky, Echo Kellum as Mr. Terrific, and the return of Caity Lotz as Sarah Lance. Season 4 is going to be interesting to say the least.

The new season of Arrow will premiere on Wednesday, October 7th at 8pm/7c on The CW.

Street Fighter V - R. Mika Reveal Trailer

R. Mika makes her long-awaited return in the newest trailer for Street Fighter V!

Stone Cold Stunner at the 30 second mark! Rainbow Mika originally debuted in Street Fighter Alpha 3 back in 1998, but has been missing from the fighting game scene until now. She is bringing along a tag team partner (Yamato Nadeshiko) this time around, which looks like an interesting game mechanic.

R. Mika joins Street Fighter veterans Ryu, Chun-Li, Charlie Nash, M. Bison, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, Vega, and savage newcomer Necalli.

No official release date has been announced, but Street Fighter V is expected to arrive no later than spring 2016 exclusively on the PS4 and PC.
