After a long time, we finally got the 2nd part out. it's way shorter when compared to the 1st one, though.
There's also plans to turn what was to be the 3rd part into a series of shorter videos, each one focusing on applications of all that stuff that was covered in these videos

Warning

If you couldn't tell by the size of your scrollbar, this is a long piece. This won't be for everyone, but I do encourage you to read it as you may find something to your liking. It's as much about fighting games as it is about a personal journey. It's heavy and thoughtful. It's a little self-indulgent and at times embellished. I'm not a big name in the community (yet) and this is mostly for new or newer fighting gamers to consider. But, if you have the time and are still interested, as I said, I encourage you to keep reading.

Opening Words

Beginnings are just as important as endings. Having been a passionate writer for almost seven years now I know this better than most. The first sentence must have just as much impact as the last, and all those in-between. It takes a lot of time and effort to make this happen. More than that, it takes passion, patience, imagination, and most important of all, belief in oneself and what you're doing. It takes a reason, or, in some cases, more than one. It takes many things, even friends, and a failure can be just as meaningful as a success. This too, I have learned, applies to many endeavors in life, including, of course, fighting games. And it doesn't matter whether someone is on the outside or the inside of an art, a profession, a trade, or a competition, people will always find reasons to diminish what it is you do. In our world the common phrase is some variation on, "It's just a game." And it is, just a game. But then again, having already spent a year in this community and having only just begun, it really, really, is not just a game. ...

This week: Mr. Kimura

- Why did you choose that particular handle, is there a story or reference you'd like to explain?

Well my original name on SRK was Joe-oh-ken, which was a mix of my name and Sakura's Shouoken in Street Fighter. Then I changed it to Saikyo Joe cause I main Dan. When I joined Dustloop I was for a very short time called ViewtifulJoe, but I felt that was too much of a ripoff. Which lead to me naming (and ripping off another name) myself Mr. Kimura from Azumanga Daioh, since I love that show and wish to become a teacher when I can finally afford college. Thinking of changing it to Saikyo Joe for consistency... but you can call me Joe.

N-O is coming to Sweden to participate at the Destination Showdown-tournament with players from Sweden, Russia and France. I translated this post made by him a few days ago regarding his general game plan and view on how to play Venom for the Showdown-thread at bitterharmony. I thought that I might as well post it here as well, since I've already translated it to English.

Cheers!

Enjoying Skullgirls? Want more info on the major title update? Or perhaps you haven't played the game at all because you're waiting for the PC version. Well there's a bit of good news for everyone today as a press release not only confirms that a PC version is on it's way, it will also feature multiple updates and inclusion that are absent from the Playstation Network and Xbox Live versions...at least for the time being. Both the PSN and XBL counterparts will feature the new PC additions and console specific fixes.

You can read the entire press release after the jump.
