Evo 2012 results

The dust has finally settled.

Evo 2012, the granddaddy of fighting game tournaments, has wrapped up after a wild weekend (July 6-8). Competitors were sent home empty handed and champions were crowned. Just as it has been since its birth, Evo was a memorable event.

Top players were vying for the ultimate prize and bragging rights in a slew of tournaments. Games such as Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition v.2012, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Mortal Kombat 9, King of Fighters XIII, and more were showcased.

An emotional Seth Killian gave thanks to Ultra Chen and the community for all that they've done for him and the fighting game scene. He made it clear that this would not be the end for him in the community and he remains a Capcom fan despite his move to Sony Santa Monica.

Today (April 3) Namco Bandai has released a new SoulCalibur V (SCV) costume pack on Xbox Live as part of its monthly DLC costume pack releases. The pack will make its way to PSN sometime tomorrow.

The monthly costume packs were announced last month. Namco Bandai made the reveal to coincide with the March 21 patch.

SoulCalibur V: Story Mode by Maximilian part 7 finale

Maximilian has finally done it.

He has completed the SoulCalibur V (SCV) story mode. In the week of SCV videos, Max provided live commentary like he's been doing with his "Online Warrior" videos as of late.

Now that he's done with the SCV story, it'll be interesting to see what Max plans next for the Namco Bandai fighter. Will he devote more time to Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (UMvC3)? Or will he stick with SCV?

Time will tell.

Watch the final part of Maximilian's SCV story mode walkthrough below:

SoulCalibur V: Basic Leixia combos

SoulCalibur V (SCV) has only been in stores since late January and there's already a bevy of combo videos.

If you want to get the early edge with Leixia in SCV, Cross Assault wants to help. They've uploaded a basic SCV combo video of Leixia.

The video also features simple hit-confirms into critical-edge.

SoulCalibur V goes gold, receives T for "Teen" rating

The new Evo 2012 game has been completed.

Games Radar is reporting that SoulCalibur V (SCV) has gone gold and has earned a T for "Teen" rating from the ESRB. Words such as damn, bitch and bastard played a role in the decision as well as "jiggling cleavage."

This shouldn't come as a surprise as most fighting games have received the T rating with bloody goodness from the Mortal Kombat series earning an M rating.
