Van Damme on the new SF movie???
According to this interview, Jean-Claude Van Damme was asked to play the role of Guile in the upcoming live action Street Fighter movie, but he turned it down because he's wanting to pick his roles more carefully and do films he'd rather be proud of than box offlice flops like the original SF Film

Soul Calibur movie script!
Your faithful webmaster was privileged to read the first 10 pages of the SC movie script (rough draft) straight from 2nd degree media... While I'm not permitted to post the script itself, I can tell you that there was a shark, nocturnal creatures falling dead from the sky, Sophitia killing someone, a look into the childhood, growth, and resurrection of Cervantes; and Siegfried & Raphael are apparently cousins... Yes, cousins. That's all I can say for now, besides the fact that after reading the script, it kept me wanting more. When I first heard about a SC live action movie, of course I had my doubts, as many of you did; but honestly the script so far hasn't disappointed me! The film appears to be off to a good start, and my sources have told me I'll be able to read more soon!

Tekken 6 updates!!!
The long awaited "International version" of Tekken 6 has just come out in Korea and Hong Kong, which should mean a widespread US arcade release isn't far behind! The latest patch (A69) is an update to Japan's current version which includes CHARACTER BALANCE UPDATES and the bonus stage boss "Nancy" (see below). The Japanese version of course will receive it's very own A69 update soon enough via TekkenNET.

Soul Calibur Movie update!!!
Once again, I received some underground information about the upcoming film along with another "teaser" pic to show off on TFG. The story will follow Ivy, searching for an "ancient relic" that her father had been searching for when he died (the SoulEdge), and her discovering what it is, while putting herself in the middle of something bigger than she ever intended to. That's all the story details I have for now...
Even though the film is supposed to be live action, my sources have also sent me a "conceptualized" rendered image of Siegfried for the film! ...Check it out while it's hot, and remember you saw it first at TFG.
