Sometimes, posting here will ask you to use a prefix to state your region. It helps when you are posting about local events or meetups that you're hosting and generally advertising!! Today, i wanted to provide a shorthand guide for all the prefixes availible on the WCBN.

As we are based in Southern California, i've allotted for the use of SoCal related regional prefixes. Feel free to comment and recommend the use of new ones!!!

| \[OC]     | Orange County |         |
| \[SAC]    | Sacramento    | NorCal                       |
| \[BAY]    | Bay Area      | San Francisco, Oakland, etc. |

Yo, so here's my fight stick .  It's a Mayflash 700 series, it retail around $150 dollars on Amazon.  Mayflash is a Chinese arcade stick manufacturer that specializes in entry-level sticks.  It comes standard with a Sanwa JLF-style joystick and Sanwa buttons.  I've had 3 Mayflash sticks prior to purchasing this stick (2 F500 V2 and an F300), my experience with these sticks, low price point, and high modding potential keeps me coming back to the brand.

At this current time, I do have plans to mod my stick and buy buttons in the future. But we'll get there when we get there.  Thanks

Hello!!! It's me, Tyler/Nonimeg!!! Lately, we've seen a BUNCH(and I mean a bunch) of fighting games get announced relatively recently!!! Between big studios and indie developers, there's a lot of new projects releasing within the Summer 2025-Autumn 2026 Time Window. With these games, we see different formats celebrate the diversity and history of the tag genre- 2v2, 3v3, even 4v4 action with Marvel (but not capcom???) returning to the fray, partnering up with Arc System Works.
My question is, how do you feel about it? Fighting games are known to have tons of cool mechanics, and lately Tag Fighters have been trying to innovate and move forward with it's battle systems. Mechanics like Active Tag differ from games without it, like MVC3. Some games have gotten rid of incoming to return both players to neutral, other games just have incoming off the bat. Some may not even make you play all of the characters you pick(?)

What are your thoughts and opinions? Do you like Tag games? Dislike them? are any of the new ones gonna get you interested in the genre?

Here's the current list we've got running right now .

Hunter X Hunter: Nen Impact (2025)
Marvel: Tokon Fighting Souls (2026)
Invincible VS(2026)
Saturday AM: Battle Manga(2026)
2XKO(2027)

Nen impact is made by Eighting, devs who made MVC3!!! It has a local multiplayer 6 character demo out right now!!!! It's traditional 3v3, but does not have traditional special motion inputs.

Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls is made by Arc System Works, in a shocking collaboration announcement made even more exciting from the visuals showing off 4 on 4 gameplay. We still wonder to this day what the buttons will be. However, one of the more shocking announcements was that "we don't have to play with all 4 characters." Will they all share one healthbar?

Invincible VS is created by Skybound and Quarter Up games, staffed by people who worked on the new iteration of Killer Instinct. While having a special button instead of motion inputs, it seems closer to DBFZ in it's gameplay style of launching with heavies. Featuring a Omni-Combo system that allows you to extend combos based around tagging in, it seems like we'll be getting used to the entire team more intimately than other games.

Saturday AM: Battle Manga was just announced, but is definitely coming out hitting strong with anime fighitng game modder and developer WistfulHopes announcing their involvement on twitter with the game, as well as the IP being of an indie comic developer!!! While we don't have footage, we have an announcement on gematsu that reveals 2 of the dev's titular characters from their works.

2XKO is being worked on by the team who did rising thunder!!! Rising Thunder wasn't a tag game, but had 3 special buttons for each of the characters. This new game is continuing the trend!!!!!!
