Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion has been announced! It will be officially shown at the upcoming Amusement Show on September 20th in Tokyo, Japan! It will be an upgraded version of the existing Tekken 6 game and is slated for an arcade release in December! Apparently, arcade operators in Japan have gotten the heads up about this new version of Tekken 6, so if you haven’t heard about it yet, you will soon!
Not only did he come to the UK and win Battle of Destiny and then give his place up to r3ko to fly to the USA for Evolution 2008, read below how he tests his skills in the biggest ST tournament in the world Tougeki: Super Battle Opera ‘08.
The first day I went to akihabara in at the hey arcade. They had an ST cab which was very cheap (10 yens), and there was a few players. They weren’t very good for the most part, but I knew I wasn’t in the right place.
Few days later I went to mikado. To my surprise there was a free play event that night : you paid 500 yens and had the right to play for free from 19:30 to 22:00. Sounded like a very good deal to me so of course I went for it. At first there wasn’t a lot of players but I could see the level was high. There was this ken player who pounded me over and over. His execution was flawless (perfectly timed and spaced cross ups, no combos missed) and it felt that he knew everything I was going to do. When I would delay my scissor kicks, he would delay his dp’s too. Nobody ever did that to me before : it was either dp as soon as possible or nothing.

On Thursday 7 August, issue 73 of games™ goes on sale across the UK and the world with 16 specially created covers featuring each of the characters appearing in Street Fighter IV. No other videogame magazine has ever produced this many covers for a single issue.
Some great news, the patch for open beta will be going up early tomorrow morning at 2 am PST. All you have to do is fire up the open beta and it should update automatically.
There have been many fixes, but the ones to point out are:
Ken’s shoryuken shenanigan’s are fixed.
The title no longer crashes when joining games. So all online functions should work normally, including quick match and custom match.
Netcode optimizations have been made. Overall, the online experience should be about 50% better. While they can’t do anything about high ping times, they have optimized the gameplay experience so that it’s less noticeable and smoother. For example, playing someone with a ping time of 200 with the patch, should feel something like playing someone with a ping time of 100 before the patch. If you want to see the gameplay without the ”smoothing” just enter the following code to disable it.
Hold the Left Trigger, Right Trigger, RB, LB and while holding down the buttons, hit start. You should hear an audbile tone.
