Before the Mortal Kombat crew at NetherRealm Studios got its crack at making DC Comics' superheroes fight, Double Helix had its own brawler featuring Superman and Batman.
Evo 2014's Killer Instinct and BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma's tournaments have gotten a lot more competitive with these significantly bigger prize pools.
Back near my childhood home, there was a pizza place called Salvatore's. Not only did it have some of the best pizza in the city, but it was also home to one of the few remaining arcade machines in the surrounding area. I spent countless quarters on the Strider arcade machine at Sal's, from the early '90s all the way through high school. In all my years of playing, I never beat the game, but I have always had a fondness for Strider. Imagine my disappointment then in finding Capcom's latest refresh to be a rather monotonous retro adventure, albeit with a fresh coat of paint.
Excited by the new Strider game but don't really have a reference for the character other than his appearances in the Marvel vs. Capcom series? Then this retrospective video is for you!
