Hey guys, Hollow's back for another update whislt I got the chance.

So last time I updated my blog I tried to be kinda nice to KOF, and well now i'm just pissed with the game. I'm pissed because I anticipated it so much, built up so much hype to my friends, and honestly.. Its just a big old dog turd turned inside out. SNK... You failed. Just do a Capcom vs SNK 3 WITH THE CAPCOM STYLE NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND coz it seems you guys are down in the dumps in terms of money. I'm sorry for my negativity towards SNK, fans, but they just really let me down. In the Casino where the tournament scene is buzzing at the moment, the KOF cabinet is 80% of the time vacant, whereas Tekken 6 and Street Fighter IV are packed (You'd be lucky if you can see anything).

I've restarted my training at Capcom vs SNK 2 coz lets face it... THAT GAMES GOD TIER! When they make a third, I hope its Chuck Norris tier if you catch my drift. Me and my friends have assembled to make a 5 man team, and will be joining some of the tournaments in the coming future for SFIV and Tekken (Not too sure about all of them on Tekken yet). For SFIV the team will consist of, a Bison, a Ryu, a Rufus, a Cammy, a Blanka, and a Ken... Pretty neat ay.

I think i'm gonna have to import an American PS2 coz I really really wanna play Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike!

I dunno if any of you heard, but a long time member of SRK.com (8 years to be exact) posted what is rumoured to be leaked information about the coming characters. From what I can remember it was, Dudley, Ibuki, Makoto, Cody and Adon... Their were definetly more but I can't remember. Now this is a trusted 8 year vet of SRK, surely he wouldn't lie? - So are these really coming for us???

Well thats all from me this time around... Boy i'm hungry, i'm off people take care and stay safe.

Hey guys its Hollow here with some news to report :)

Wow I actually haven't updated my blog in a long time so I feel I owe it to you guys to do it now... Hope you enjoy.

Well the SFIV tournament scene has kinda gone quiet now in the UK which i'm not too happy about, however i'm being told by sources that there will be 3 tournaments for SFIV coming up. On the other hand, the Soul Calibur IV scene as well as Tekken 6 tournaments have been picking up. I have a Tekken 6 release day tournament at my local Gamestation for Ocotober 27th. I'll be representing the Unity of course. I hear Neo Empire forum members will be attending it so i've really been practicing hard with Lee Chaolan on Tekken 5: Dark Ressurection for the Playstation 3.

Over my 7 week break from College I picked up two new games. Batman Arkham Asylum and The King of Fighters XII. Lets start off with KOFXII first. When I first got this game I was reasonably pleased with the gameplay and I still... Kinda am. However the more time I spent on it, the more I realised it just felt like a Beta as a hole. It only has 5 stages, 20 characters I think (Not all are very good either, and when I say that I mean.. This is suppose to be a dream match, no real connection to the Ash Crimson saga. So if it is indeed a dream match, where are all the godly SNK figures like Rock Howard, Geese Howard, Tizoc and so on.. If they come in DLC then thats fair enough, if they don't then SNK Playmore failed, and this is not a dream match), not that many soundtracks, not that many options for game modes, and last time I checked, A TERRIBLE ONLINE. Dr. Shadow did tell me that the update is out so today I will be updating my copy and see how that goes online. For anyone that is interested in fighting me, my PSN ID is my Unity name and my team is Ash Crimson, Robert Garcia, and Kyo Kusanagi. Ok onto the Batman. One word for this game... Phenomenal (Did I spell that right?). Really this game is just off the chain, i've completed it twice since release day, and despite looking over everything several times, cannot find a big problem with it. The gameplay feels great, the game is always entertaining, the voice acting is great, the locations are a spectacle, and the enemies... Well... LEGENDARY. The Joker puts on another class act in my opinion.

KOFXII (Currently): 7/10
Batman: Arkham Asylum: 9.8/10

Onto Street Fighter IV. Well i've returned to the game and have been fighting now again for a while. I'm still in G1-C coz of internet issues but i'm up to 42 G1 championships and 25 runner ups... Not bad ay XD. I got a second character now along side my Bison and he goes by the name of Vega... I'm still working on him but its coming along nicely. I also had a live stream with Dr. Shadow on Justin.tv which went very well for me. I didn't bother keeping score coz we had like 5 disconnects due to my lame internet which I am still leeching XD... But he said on a video he posted that I beat him like 27-1 which is good considering he is no slouche. He did say he had self doubt and thats always going to affect how a World Warrior fights so i'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

On an anime note, I bought an anime film called Highlander: Search For Vengeance like 5 weeks ago but never got round to watching it. I watched it the other night and it was great, I really enjoyed it and I recommend it to any anime fan out there. Its done in full english which I suprisingly really liked (There is no Japanese version... Yeah I know weird).

Well thats all for the Hollow today.. Take care and stay safe.

Hey everyone, Hollow is back to post all he's gaming news for the week.

So I have really been training at Battle Fantasia like mad, but unfortunately I won't be able to put my skills to the test because the game doesn't have an online scene or a tournament community, which is quite dissapointing considering how great of a game it is! I advice some of you guys to get it because its really great and I wanna fight somebody DAMNIT!! XD

I'm swiftly moving through the Championship Ranks and I am now among the top 100 I believe, so thats pretty awesome, I should be G1-C in no time XD.

I ordered The King of Fighters XII 4 days ago. I am super psyched for this game as I am sure many of you guys are aswell, and I know a lot of you are gonna have it real soon so I look forward to our awesomely epic battles :) (Shadow mainly XD).

I recently became the Playstation Network Street Fighter IV Eventhubs champion which I am very proud of :) I defeated one of the top Akuma players here on Unity. I don't know he's Unity name I think its Ray but he's PSN is YBF47.. It was an awesome fight and a struggle of power, but the Mighty Bison's Pyscho Power won over.

I think I am gonna take a little break to work on my Darkstalkers and Rival Schools skills. Yeah I know they haven't got a tournament scene or an online community but I really love these games and wanna keep my skills up.. Just incase somebody pops up I can be ready for them XD... Games are about fun anyway.

Yay my orders came through. I finally got my hands on Rival Schools again (I haven't played it in like 4 years), and I gotta say I love it more than I did then. Its just such a great game and I really hope that Capcom can make a new one for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.. It would just be pure awesomeness. I also ordered Battle Fantasia. I'm guessing not a lot of you know about this game, but I seriously recommend it, its so much fun :)

On another note; I was playing Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 with my best friend. So we both enter the World Martial Arts Tournament (Hercules open world version), and I pick Majin Vegeta, he picks Teen Trunks (Without sword). So we are fighting and the A.I are pretty easy to beat up, but then I get to Dabura. Now this is an ordinary match, where I pretty much beat the tar out of him. So in the spirit of bing cocky and arrogant just like Vegeta would, I think it would be funny to do the Final Explosion, to not only blow him up, but everything around me :). Dabura does not take kindly to this. I set off the explosion of my inner power, and Dabura gets caught in it.. But somehow whilst already being caught in such a powerful explosion, he manages to teleport around in it, making me look stupid. I was seriously shocked that you could even do that (He did it 8 times). So in the game after doing that move you are left with 1 HP. So I get up and try to drag me ruined Carcas to the other side of the screen to power up and launch off an attack. Dabura laughs and knees me in the back and I get knocked out of the tournament. My friend thinks this is funny, only to get his ass handed to him by Dabura moments after XD.

Also i've advanced to G1-D YAY!

So every week i'll be choosing one game as my game of the week as well as a gaming/anime tune :)

Second Week: Rival Schools
Second Week: Fire Emblem: Main Castle Theme

I jus got my copy back off the Capcom Classic.. Rival Schools. This game is just shere brilliance. Kyosuke is my main, he's just simply awesome. To anybody that doesn't have this game, do yourself a favor and GET IT!

 I chose the Fire Emblem: Main Castle theme because.. Well.. I love Fire Emblem and its my favorite theme from the game so hey why not XD.

So I had this thought just now because of the grudge match me and Brandon are about to do which will be up to 50.

I opened a forum over on Eventhubs about this and I think its appropriate I blog this so here goes...

The SFIV Unity members are quite close, and I know I am close to quite a few of them so here's how things are gonna work.
