Arcadia Magazine is celebrating it’s 10 year anniversary this month! The June 2009 issue sports a new ‘re-born’ layout and has a feature story on The King of Fighters XII! Click below for the latest arcadia top ten and some Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion tidbits!

Tekken 6: BR takes the top rank again, to no surprise! Virtua Fighter 5R has dropped to it’s lowest point since it’s release. However I expect VF5R to pick up in the coming months due to the new update/season.

MarkMan is there a more complete tier list for br… im surprised that lars was second or thrid best, now seeing him in rank 5…?!?!
also was there a tier list in there for BlazBlue/
May 4, 2009 at 9:22 am
Dude, thats japan players, they are diffrent than we are, we like diffrent characters than they do.
People realy need to stop taking these tier lists seriously, im a LONE WOLF, but ive beaten a couple of Dragon Lords, with my Raven in DR and hes a supposedly Low Low ranked character man, if your good with a character, you ca beat anybody, so forget about these , S ranked A ranked D ranked character listings.

@blind

May 4, 2009 at 5:18 am |
Aww man, I was interested in the KoF bits that would be in this issue.
Still, it’s fun seeing most of those fighting games eventually making their way here stateside.
May 4, 2009 at 9:23 am |
Man , now that you mention it, i dont think ive ever seen an article about KOF XII here at SD Tekken, what gives markman !?!?
Have you guys ever posted someting on KOF XII, it could be just my memory.
May 4, 2009 at 10:11 am |

May 4, 2009 at 3:16 pm |
TEKKEN IS INDEED THE SHIT. AND, SO IS GEIF!!!!
May 4, 2009 at 4:11 pm |
Where’s Anna/Nina Xiaoyu?
May 4, 2009 at 6:33 pm |
It’s sad to see VF 5r not doing well since it’s IMO still a pretty good game, though a bit tekken-ish now. They just need to do bigger updates instead of small revisions. Releasing them quicker also would have helped.
May 4, 2009 at 7:23 pm |
Arcana Hearts 2!!! OMG, i rock at that game. Go Go Fiona! the girl with the huge dild0.
May 6, 2009 at 10:55 am |
