Anyway, besides having my ideas stolen, I shall present you with my new percentage-based crushes:

1. KG (Duh.)
2. Patricia (Would it be a complement to suggest I wouldn’t even know how to describe her due to how incredibly diverse she is?)
3. Kelsey (The biggest surprise on my list with the new crushes system, she’s relatively new to my dashboard and totally fucking awesome. By that I mean going by her posts she is theoretically half-British, and that’s always a good thing in my books!)
4. Alex (Weezer fan, check. Likes hockey, check. Passion for memes, check. Fellow bro, check. Everything you need to make an awesome guy)
5. Karthik (My incredibly verbose American brother whose posts are of the highest quality you’ll ever find on Tumblr)
6. Justin (A lover of sports who also happens to post whatever he wants, however he wants, whenever he wants. For that alone without even having to mention his many other awesome characteristics I admire him)
7. Darren (Essentially the male equivalent of KG, he’s a sassy drama queen… and he knows it! Haven’t had the pleasure of talking to him outside of Tumblr yet. One day on one of those hilarious-looking Tinychat conversations of yours?)
8. Kelly (A crazy and intense girl who seems to be a tonne of fun to hang out with, she works as a lifeguard and has some great stories from it too. She’s a really open individual when it comes to blogging who posts a tonne of photos too which is always awesome and is definitely someone I’d like to get to know better.)
9. Staff (Yup, the people who run the place. They’re occasionally nice when they update their API to match the current feature set. Besides that, they’re reading my blog for my many ideas on improving Tumblr and doing their best to keep the site from going down, hah. Despite that you’re still the best social network out there so I tip my hat to you sirs.)

Stop processing my order and start despatching it!

Always cool to post one of the top links on Reddit today.

Two Street Fighter/Tekken crossovers revealed

Street Fighter creator Yoshinori Ono and Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada got together at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con to deliver the news that fighting game fans have been waiting just over 15 years for.

Tom, Casey, Jamie. OMG #NERDBONER

I was sad enough to be watching a Capcom Comic-Con live stream last night when this trailer came on. They even shared some gameplay footage with us which rocks.

Oh, and for those who can’t manage six button games there’s Tekken X Street Fighter in simultaneous development by Namco too (presumably on the Tekken 6 engine). Dropping Street Fighter’s six-button characters down to four-button has been done on several occasions (minus the sidestep). What will be interesting is how they incorporate Tekken’s four-button and sidestepping characters into a 2.5D environment.

Looks promising!

On top of this announcement we have a re-release of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike with online play and potentially some reworked mechanics and visuals, PLUS we still have Marvel vs Capcom 3 on it’s way. And that’s just Capcom, don’t forget all the other projects on the way.

Here’s a list of all the fighting games in the works right now:

• Street Fighter X Tekken (as we’ve seen above)
• Tekken X Street Fighter (Namco’s crossover title simultaneous to SFxT)
• BlazBlue: Continuum Shift (Arc system works sequel to Calamity Trigger in 2 days!)
• King of Fighters XIII (SNK Playmore ain’t giving up yet on this entirely hand-drawn beauty and the latest roster looks highly promising, all the familiar teams are back along with every male’s favourite character - Mai)
• Mortal Kombat [2011] (back to old-school MK mechanics too!)
• Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds (2.5D sequel to the chaotic Dreamcast fighter MvC2 with many new additions to the roster)
• Super Street Fighter IV (Arcade/PC release with included additional characters as DLC for consoles)
• Tekken 7 (only confirmed in an announcement by director Katsuhiro Harada but it’s still something to look forward to. Let’s hope they don’t take as long as they did with Tekken 6)

I’m so happy to see the fighting genre booming once again.
