Heading out to Korea for Tekken Crash:Royal Rumble!

by Rip


I’ve got about 2 hours before I need to leave for the airport and since I don’t know how many updates I’ll be able to make from there I figured I might as well throw up a quick post.  FYI, since I’m going to be off continent, new episodes of Level Up Your Game will be on the backburner until I get back. Expect a new episode the weekend of March 12th and another episode soon after and hopefully a few surprises as well.

Anakin is already over there handing out demotions and it looks like the controller port they setup at Green Arcade is functioning pretty well. Check out the TekkenCrashS2′s YouTube channel for the latest vids (I believe Nin is commentating). Honestly, at the moment I’m feeling more nervous about how I’m going to get from the airport to the hotel than anything else… but I’m sure things will work out one way or another! Fab will be arriving there in the next few hours so I’ll be the last USA to arrive. A big thanks to Check 6 Gaming for helping me get out there.  Its a partial sponsorship for an expensive trip so if anyone else would like to contribute, feel free to click that donate button on the navigation bar. Gonna be a great time, I’ll try to post up whenever I can, wish us luck!

Level Up Your Game – Marvel vs Capcom 3

by Rip

We gonna take you for a ride! I was fortunate enough to have two Marvel vs Capcom 2 legend’s, Clockw0rk and Mike Ross to help me break down the basics of MvC3! This is a must watch for anyone looking to pick up the game or new to the MvC series. Other resources like the SRK wiki will tell you the basics of the game and give you the data behind each character, but I think our approach will help you actually help you learn to play the game and understand the strategy behind it.

Having Clockw0rk and Mike Ross break apart the basics of this game usually led to more intermediate/advanced strategy discussion with reference back to MvC2 as well, so theres tons of information for everyone of all skill levels. Blocking, assists, float/fly/superjump, throw system, DHCs, OTGs, triangle jumps, wavedashes, team synergy, alpha counters (Cross over counters), x-factor etc etc, you name it, and we probably covered it. I thoroughly enjoyed putting this episode together and I hope you guys enjoy it too.

LET US KNOW if you want more MvC3 coverage. Shortcut links to specific sections after the jump (more…)

Tritton AX PRO Headset Review

by Jonathan Wu


The AX PRO’s are Tritton’s high-end true 5.1 surround gaming headsets.  While most headsets have two individual drivers, these have a total of 8 in an attempt to fully simulate a 5.1 theater setup.  In theory, this should make for some epic sound, but does it actually work?  Read more to find out…
