So Mai and Kyla not being in Dead or Alive 6 LR is understandable, Capcom probably has an exclusive deal for SNK chars
But no rollback netcode and no upgrade option for existing DoA6 owners is baffling

Shutaro's various curry-related pseudonyms came from his observed day-in, day-out curry diet—as mentioned here (https://shmuplations.com/ariaofsorrow/), Aria's curry-tossing Waiter Skeleton is an homage to him, and I imagine Soma's "𝙮𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙮" when grabbing beef curry in Despair was his doing, too

Part of why there are far fewer fighting game major events (and why a lot of local events happen in donated/community spaces) is that the venue price of internet for livestreaming at convention spaces is absurd. The costs listed here are *per day* xcancel.com/kenniky1/sta...

Beep21 has reported that Hideki Sato, the father of Sega hardware, passed away yesterday at age 71. We planned to publish this article later, but it seems more fitting now to honor Sato's commitment to Sega's quality and legacy.

This is where I think there's parallels to the '83 crash. E.T. performed reasonably fine, but Atari invested so much into it that anything other than the biggest game ever would be a failure by *their* metrics! That's not the game's problem, that's management's problem

I wish the gaming magazine tie-in websites of the 90s were better archived, they were really special. You’d have reader-submitted fanart and fanfic right next to press previews. Ultra Game Players encouraged people to turn Kabuki Jo from War Gods into an early meme
