Dark Chaotix pulls out the stops again with a bone cracking Vice combo video; he has this to say about the October patch:

“I say “no” to further patching”

Wonder why? Check out the video, then check out the roundup of news and tweets!

Don’t forget tonight, it’s on again in Stratford!

Meanwhile Atma won the Play Expo in Manchester.
Brackets are up, hopefully video to follow, we’ll post about that later.

Over in Germany, Hessen Crash took place with KOFXIV and Ken Deep crashed out, having stuck with Chang.
Well, kudos for the choice but unsuprisingly Nakoruru ended him.

Surprisingly, Dracula took top spot with Kula (plus Robert and Iori). Hopefully videos soon, but you can see results at HardEdge. Kendeep did win GGXrd at least :3

Over in Japan, Duelling the KOF took place, with Koukou and Kabao winning a qualifying match on day 1

Here’s a nice little break guard tip for Verse

Then the Internet had a little blow up over Andy Bogard hit box. It’s just Andy so nobody paid that much attention.

Oda himself actually replied, seemingly saying this move is no error, taken from Real Bout.

So uhhh this isn’t getting patched… watch out versus Andy!

Andy's f+A has some crazy upper body invulnerability. That's a PUNISH. #KOFXIV #PS4sharehttps://t.co/0vnXA9rRit pic.twitter.com/fQWYznr9q7
