2011 is gonna be a big year for fighting games and fighting gamers alike, i just wanna give my thought on the latest fighting game news and which games im personally excited for in order. but first im gonna get into various news reguarding various fighting games(btw sorry for this blog being a few days late lol).

First off Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition was released in arcades(obvioulsy) at the end of December and with that came alot of changes most notably the additon of both yun and yang and from what i hear yun is top tier and yang isnt too far behind. Other than that the rest of the changes came in the form of rebalancing the rest of the roster for instance hakan, makoto, and deejay are supposed to be greatly superior to their console counterparts, whereas the majority of the original world warriors got nerfed wiht both honda and blanka getting the short end of the stick, ken is supposedly the best shoto and two ultra combos had motion changes(that i know of) most notably bison's ultra 2(psycho punisher) got changed from a double fireball motion to a chargemotion :(. There are rumors that a patch for the console version is coming in june but its all speculation at this point

Next up is Mortal Kombat, the guys at netherelm studios have been doing alot of magazine press to confirm various characters most notably kratos from the god of war franchise which suprised many. Outside of that its looking like the rest of the roster is gonna be the Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 roster so if you have a favorite from mk1 to umk3 they will probably be in the game. I have my to favs in so i'm happy(kung lao and jade).

Now for Marvel Vs Capcom 3, we are now one month away from getting a sequel that we thought would never happen so its kinda surreal that the game is so close. The latest two characters to get confirmed are mike haggar of final fight fame repping the capcom side and phoenix repping the marvel side both characters look pretty impressive. im just hoping green goblin makes the cut pretty please capcom?

Now for my top five most anticipated fighing games of 2011

1. Mortal Kombat

2. Marvel vs Capcom 3

3. Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition

4. Street Fighter X Tekken

5. Tekken Tag Tournament 2

If there is any fighting game that you're excited about let me know in the comment box if you're not into fighting games thats cool i just hoped you enjoyed my blog today.

well later :D
