This new column will take an in-depth look at the video game characters we take to our hearts and the ones we loathe with every inch of rage. Each week we have a candid look at each character and give you profiles, nuggets of information and maybe even some unearthed secrets.
The first character to go under the microscope is a true fighting legend. Ryu is arguably the most famous character from the Street Fighter franchise. This character doesn’t need any flashy clothes or even trendy tattoos. Ryu wears a simple white Keikogi, red headband and matching gloves – but this basic image is a striking as his Dragon Punch.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Ken masters dragon punch is more striking than ryu's always was,ryu was known for the flashy ,faster hadouken, ken for his arc dragon punch,and ken is just as famous, they just started focusing more on ryu,ken was second best too them
This is a great history of Ryu, a character I really enjoy playing! Goes to prove that voice acting is more important than you might think!
Ryu is a ICON
The love for Ken in this thread brings a tear to my eye.
I gotta give it to Ken, for me Ryu is the generic and thats great and all but Ken has fist that turn into FIRE! SHORYUKEN! (even his name is in the move!)
