Mod makes Boyfriend from Friday Night Funkin' playable in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with his own unique moveset <p><a href='https://www.eventhubs.com/moves/ssbu/'>Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</a> features a roster made up of 86 fighters. Though it can be argued that the game already has plenty of characters, fans have been adding unique movesets thanks to the power of modding.</p> <p>Back in 2020, the rhythm game Friday Night Funkin' was released on Newgrounds. It's difficult to imagine a character that originated from Newgrounds ever officially taking a slot in Super Smash Bros., so the modder known as ddc218 added "Boyfriend" from Friday Night Funkin'.</p>

Street Fighter legends Nemo and Itabashi Zangief relive their eternal rivalry with laughs and disrespectful handshakes <p>One of the great things about the normal 1v1 aspect of fighting games is that it can set up rivalries between players that can span multiple events or even years though it feels like we don't see as much of that these days.</p> <p>There is one eternal rivalry that will never likely be extinguished at least between DFM|Itabashi Zangief and GLOE|Nemo.</p>

Over 240 days have passed after Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls was first revealed without a single new character since then <p><a href='https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2025/jun/04/marvel-tokon-fighting-arcsys/'>Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls</a> was announced on June 4, 2025 during the PlayStation State of Play event that aired that day. As such, it's been over 240 days since Captain America, Iron Man, Storm, Dr. Doom, Star-Lord, Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man and Ghost Rider were revealed.</p> <p>The developers have not revealed a single character since those initial eight. This feels particularly strange considering that Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is supposed to be a 4v4 team fighting game. One would think that this sort of game would need an especially large roster to support the team dynamics of this sort of fighting game.</p>

Yagami releases new Tekken 8 Season 2 tier list that places every character in some variation of the S tier category <p><a href='https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2026/feb/01/blank-revealed-start-season-3-tekken-8/'>Season 3</a> of <a href='https://www.eventhubs.com/moves/tekken8/'>Tekken 8</a> was revealed at the <a href='https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2026/jan/29/tekken-world-tour-finals-results/'>Tekken World Tour 2025 Finals</a>. Kunimitsu, Bob and Roger Jr. have been scheduled to join the Tekken 8 roster alongside a mysterious challenger.</p> <p>It's also interesting to note that Tekken 8 Season 3 will feature a major balance update that is said to be a "return to basics." This is likely in reference to the unpopularity of how the meta has changed going from Season 1 to Season 2.</p>

Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase set to stream tomorrow at 6 a.m. PT and 9 a.m. ET <p>Tons of rumors have been circulating recently about a Nintendo Direct for the month of February. It would seem that the rumors were true, though some might be disappointed to learn that tomorrow will feature a Partner Showcase rather than a traditional Nintendo Direct.</p> <p>Regardless, this could be a good opportunity for some new fighting game announcements. In the past, Nintendo Direct presentations of various types have been used to announce things such as the <a href='https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2024/sep/12/mvc-fighting-collection-launch-trailer/'>Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics</a>.</p>

Capcom collaborates with snack brand to create collectible trading cards for Street Fighter 6 that are also... drinkable? <p>We've already seen an interesting collaboration between Capcom and Nintendo to recreate <a href='https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2025/apr/03/street-fighter-amiibo-switch/'>Street Fighter 6 characters in the form of amiibo</a>. While Luke, Jamie and Kimberly get figurine amiibo, the rest of the roster are limited to trading cards — though Ryu, Ken and Terry's amiibo originally created for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will also work for Street Fighter 6 on the Switch 2.</p> <p>It would seem the Capcom has opted to collaborate with another company to create another series of trading cards for most of the Street Fighter 6 roster. Just like with Nintendo's amiibo, these trading cards have a fun quirk to them.</p>

New tier list for Street Fighter 6 released by Pochoclo23 before the Alex update changes everything <p>A recent patch for Street Fighter 6 attempted to tone down Mai Shiranui while giving Sagat and Elena some quality of life improvements.

Toad made into a playable character with a unique moveset in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate thanks to the power of modding <p><a href='https://www.eventhubs.com/moves/ssbu/'>Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</a> features a roster of 86 characters, marking the game with the largest cast of fighters for the series thus far. Unsurprisingly, the Super Mario Bros. series already sees plenty of representation, but there are still many potential characters that we could see get added in the future.</p> <p>Many fans would argue that it feels strange that Toad hasn't been made playable yet in Super Smash Bros. considering his impact on the Super Mario Bros. series. Instead, he's been relegated to certain moves for Peach and Daisy.</p>
