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.


Sweet update.
