Capcom is headed to sunny Las Vegas for CES, and what better way to start the New Year than with some brand new Super Street Fighter IV action?
Yep--we're throwing a little Las Vegas "fight club," and it will be the first chance anywhere for people to go hands-on with the new characters. In addition to the returning SFIV cast, and SSFIV newcomers, Juri, Dee Jay, and T. Hawk, we'll also have Guy, Cody, and Adon playable all night!
Where: Las Vegas, in our suite in Planet Hollywood.
When: Thursday, January 7th, from 7-10pm.
How: Send THIS GUY a note explaining why we should pick you. If you get in, you can also bring 1 guest--everyone must be 18+ with ID to get in!
It'll be the invincible Team Unity vs rag-tag band Major Nelson can pull together, and we may also hold a friendly little tournament. There will be prizes for all, but the tournament would have a special format that nets you bonus points for winning with the new characters. If you want to claim the top prize, don't plan on just hadokening your way to the finals--come ready to try out the new guys too.
If you get in, we'll respond to let you know the room number--because capacity in the suite is limited, if you don't get a reply, don't plan on just showing up, because we won't be able to get you in. The hotel almost shut us down last year, so we'll get as many as we can through the door, but you'll need an invitation!

As you know, Lost Planet 2 is full of extremely deadly bosses, like the Gordiant, Red Eye, and mysteriously named Akrid X. But what about some of the new smaller akrid? Since the the planet of EDN III is undergoing some drastic environmental changes, some new akrid have emerged. Among them is the Defolma, a smaller akrid, but still a very big threat to snow pirates.
The Defolma is very octopus like, with 6 arms and a flexible body. It can go almost anywhere, even into tiny drainage pipes where it will wait for something to eat to come along. At the top of it's head is a mouth, which is perfect for gobbling up any pirates it may encounter. The arms of this akrid have many uses, like grabbing prey, blocking attacks, and even electrocuting. It's whip like arms have the ability to pinpoint a target and unleash a flash of electricity, and in confined spaces can catch a number of pirates off guard.
Thankfully, this akrid is still vulnerable to normal firearms you and your pirate friends will be wielding, but it will take some skill. Even though you can kill it, it usually appears when you least expect, and in narrow walk ways so it can capture more of food at once. Keep your distance... Don't say I didn't warn you.
