Tanesha Smith
emulate what the elders do and Paperchasers Ink will be be in the centre of all of that, getting bigger and receiving more recognition. There isn't anything like it within the UK
Paperchasers Ink is addictive amazing to see the talent that is out there all of the artwork is well presented.
I think its something that will readily make its name within the urban culture as lots of kids growing up,
it's about time we had a magazine like this in the UK, I love the concept and how tattoos , music and models come together all in one and that its a mixture of tattooed people.

Paperchasers Ink are getting it in right now and doing such a good look on the UK tattoo scene ! more people are accepting tattoos these days and its people like Paperchasers Ink that are helping that
I think Paperchasers Ink is really good. Its bringing together all the tattoo addicts and it gives people the chance to show of their ink. What I really think is good about the magazine is that anyone can be a member and you get a lot out of the magazine for being

ADVICE TAKE CARE
OF YOUR INK Aftercare for your tattoo is important to prevent infections, loss of colour, and scarring. Proper aftercare instructions should come first from your tattoo artist. 1. Carefully remove the bandage approximately two to five hours after the completion of the tattoo. If the gauze sticks to your skin, use some water to help remove it without causing any wounding.
2. Wash the area thoroughly with antibacterial soap and warm water using only your fingers. Do not use any cloths or other materials. 3. Gently pat dry with a towel. Avoid rubbing! Let air dry completely after patting it with a Towel.
4. Be sure to apply only a small amount of Bacitracin or A & D (vitamin) ointment. Too much ointment will heighten the risk that bacteria will grow there, and not allow oxygen to the area. Oxygen is extremely important in the natural healing of the tattoo. Too little ointment will cause the area to dry out, crack and bleed. Rub the ointment into the skin well.
5. Clean four to five times per day for about seven to ten days, or until the wound is Healed. Avoid soaking or submerging in water, such as swimming or taking baths, during the healing process. Doing so could result in colour loss, scarring, or infection. Don't wear tight or
restrictive clothing around the area, which will cut off much needed oxygen to the area. Tight clothing could also hold in any bacteria, possibly causing an infection. Your clothing touching the tattoo should be soft. You should also avoid exposing the tattoo to the sun. Too much sun exposure could cause your tattoo to lose some of its color. After the tattoo is healed, you will need to apply sunscreen before exposing it to the sun, but you can still expose it in moderation. This is necessary for the life of your tattoo. If swelling occurs, you can use ice packs or take some ibuprofen to ease the swelling. Avoid rubbing, scratching, or picking at any scabs that may form. The scabs are a part of the healing process, and will eventually fall off on their own, usually in a one to three weeks. Your skin may peel or scab during the healing
INK TIPS Wear soft, comfortable clothing There is nothing worse than having to go through your work day with a pair of jeans that’s constantly irritating your tattoo. This will cause unnecessary irritation, prolonging your healing time. And, may possibly cause permanent damage
“Alcohol does thin your blood and raise your heart rate” stage, which is normal. Just allow the process to take place, and it will pass. Some colour will fade during this process, but should return after the area is completely healed. After a few weeks the area should be free of scabs and peeling. You should still continue the standard cleaning and apply ointment to keep the area from drying out. Remember, the most important thing for the proper healing of your tattoo is to maintain moisture, and allow oxygen to the area at the same time.
Avoid alcoholic The rumours are true. Alcohol does thin your blood and raise your heart rate. It may be possible to start bleeding again days after being tattooed due to alcohol consumption. For best results, it is advised to abstain from alcohol days before, day of, and days after being tattooed to ensure your immune system is strong and your blood will be healthy to do it’s job of Beware of your Pets Pets bring many potential dangers to tattoo aftercare. Hair, dander, drool, urine and feces all present very real dangers to your home environment while healing any injury. Things can go sour very fast, infections are real. Be aware of your surroundings. Clean and disinfect all potential areas you may come in contact with pet hair and waste. Minimize direct contact with your pet for at least 1 week after getting tattooed.

ADVERTISE
ON MY SKIN
MOM GIVE’S 10 YR OLD A TATTOO
The mother who tattooed her 10-year-old kids because they begged for it Well, they wanted it. That’s the reason Jo-Jo Marsh gave for tattooing her own children (one as young as ten years old). Ms Marsh shows the tattoo on her son’s hand. The mark is a cross-like symbol left by a homemade tattoo gun with a guitar string as a needle.”We didn’t even break the skin barely,” said Marsh, “they are very tiny, just through a few layers, on the top, they will fade away, that’s how minuscule this is.” Marsh and her husband, Jacob Bartels, face child cruelty charges after detectives found the same mark on six of the couple’s seven children. One of the children is just 10 years-old. Marsh defends her actions saying the kids were begging for tattoos like hers. She told multiple times during our interview that she changed the needle each time. Marsh believes as the children’s guardian, she should have the right to tattoo them if she chooses. “Shouldn’t I have say so over what goes on in my child’s life,” said Marsh, “I have custody of my child, I’m not going to hurt my child.”
Billy Gibby, aka “The Human Billboard”, is going for a Guinness World Record for the most corporate logos tattooed on a human body. He sponsors his boxing career this way, so he can fight to raise money to help support the cause of organ donation. Since his first stunt for Goldenpalace.com, Billy has collected 26 more tattoos from corporate sponsors, including Liberty Tax Service, Host Gator, Grown Up Geek, Cam4 and a slew of adult sites.
WHATS MY
NAME OFFICER? Police did not have to lift a finger to identify this thief after he broke into a car specially rigged with cameras – because he had a huge tattoo revealing his name and date of birth. Aaron Evans, 21, was filmed breaking into the Peugeot 106 in an NCP car park before making off with a stolen sat-nav device. Not only had he failed to spot the covert camera filming his every move but he had the vital information ‘Evans 19.9.87′ boldly tattooed on his neck. Evans was jailed for seven months.

INK TALK
HOT OR NOT
GIRLS WITH SLEEVES detail Down to the placing of the tattoo, to the style, size and colouring. My last article spoke of chest tattoos on women and my obsession with how amazingly beautiful they can look on some as appose to bloody awful if not executed properly.
Chatta is back with a new Hot or Not and this time the boss lady is talking about girls with sleeves. In a time where tattoos are Girls Getting inked-hot or not? That's the question? a part of every day life and it's actual more of a shock Well, the times of people being shocked, has to people to know that I don't have one, then if I become all a thing of the past. had! “Looking at every detail Tattoos Down to the placing of the My have become tattoo, to the style, size and fascination in tattoos more and has only more a part of every day become more and most culture, moving away from recently I have been taking something that attached great pleasure in admiring bad stigma that only sailors ladies art. Looking at every and ex cons had.
Moving onwards I have recently been exploring sleeves and have decided that on most woman they look stunning, again providing that the art is executed properly. I also really like half and quarter sleeves to the elbow i think they can look really amazing, almost looking like wearing clothes. Personally I prefer more delicate tattoos like flowers, hearts, butterflies, birds as well as some of my most fav spiritual ones.

REID MEETS
After winning his 3rd Olympia and recently wining at the Arnold's he has been portrayed from the media as a very self centred man who feels he is untouchable in ever losing his title. After meeting Mr Heath i can honestly say I've never met anybody so nice and genuine in my life he spent a few minutes talking to me about training and showing interest in what i do as an athlete also giving me advice on how to deal with things such as training while spending time with your family as well as how to deal with sponsorship's.
PHIL HEATH MR OLYMPIA
When Reid is not giving fools the smack down and doing his thing in the ring, he is out there bringing us good sport news
In the pic above I am showing Phil heath where he favoured one of my tweets and his reply was 'i thought i recognised the face as you walked in' aha i was thinking maybe it was the tatts.
OK so Wednesday was a day of sun heat and lotion. but for me it was a day of gym For anybody interested in training and protein shakes and meeting 3x Mr Olympia bodybuilding i would recommend winner Phil “i thought i recognised the face picking up a copy of generation iron' Heath. Now the DVD that shows the ins and outs anybody who as you walked in' aha i was of bodybuilding and the lifestyle they knows me will thinking maybe it was the tatts� live leading up to the biggest comp of know i am a the year ' Mr Olympia' the DVD is huge fan of bodybuilding and Kai green, so available to buy now and features the meeting and shaking the hand of Mr heath current Mr Olympia Phil heath and Kai made me feel slightly like a pagan as Kai green who i mentioned above. enjoy and green has come runner up to Phil Heath for keep on with the training guys. the past 2 years.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE ABOUT
TATTOOS
We ask the members some more stuff and this time we want to know what advice they would give to people who are thinking about getting inked up. #paperchasersink
Lily Stark Look into the tattooist before you go and have one, don't let some random person do it because it is cheap. Tattooing is an art and not a fashion statement.
something to you, and you are not just doing it to "fit in" or be like someone else. Other than that, always do a background/portfolio check on your artist, if you haven't used them before. From talent to hygiene, you can't be too
Saffire D’Soul Choose wisely. Make sure your tattoos mean
Don't go to a shop and say "I want a tattoo but don't know what" Go to an actual shop. Your mates kitchen doesn't count, Research the artist! Good brands of clothes etc are expensive SO ARE
The classic good work ain't cheap,cheap work ain't good. It's on you for life so go big or go home, pick something that's creative and represents you well, not a trend you think makes you look cool for 15 minutes.
GOOD ARTISTS. So if they are cheap your tattoo will look cheap
Dice Phoenix
Marvelous
ZacYo
Natassja
don't rush into getting ink and always plan what you want to have carefully. if you have an ink artist that has done a nice piece on you,you should stick to that artist.
Only get a tattoo if you are dead sure you want one. Not for fun or status. Do not pay cheap and go to someone you dont know operating from an unlicensed home or is unlicenced.
Angelina Franco Tattoos are forever! So make them great. you get what you pay for.

I also sing and song write. You can see/hear my work and projects on Youtube Stushlove
Ok let’s talk about your tattoos, I see my body as a canvas and express myself as i wish on it. My Tattoo's, i would like to think, are very artistic and people like to ask about them, and seem to enjoy them.
How many do you think you have so far? I think to date i have about 26 tattoo's, my first being done by myself at 14 years old, a heart on
my knee, i still have now lol..
What tattoo are you going to get done next?
‘’I am an Entertainer, dancer, I also do a lot of other creative things to keep my mind active’’
Not sure what i will have next, although am toying with the idea of both my calf's done with an evil sugar skull on one and a good on the other.
What’s the main influence behind your bodywork? I would say that the majority of my tattoo's have a meaning to me, either it being a specific event i wanted to mark or just beliefs of my own.
What’s your favourite piece and why? My favourite one would probably be my back piece of 'Isis' the Egyptian goddess, only i had Dragonfly wings instead of bird, wanted to make her a Hybrid haha.
Where do you get your ink done? I have all my Tattoo's done at Studio One in Derby, the artist I use is awesome, Joe, trustworthy and clean.

This is the tat that's going to make my sleeve complete.

What tattoo are you going to get done next? I think my next tattoo is going to be of the old school cartoon character Punky Brewster. My uncle used to call me that as a kid. He recently passed so it will be a tattoo in his honor.

When did you get your first one? I got my first tattoo when I was 22 or 23. It's a tiger on my right thigh and it was done by my best friend's man, Alberto. It was done using guitar string, Still looks good too!! I want to now have it shaded in and added to.

What do they mean to you? For the most part, they all represent a part/ time/ chapter in my life story. Pick a chapter and I will narrate the story.
What’s your favourite piece and why? The 18 wheeler on my left ribcage. It was my fathers rig. He loved that rig and his job almost as much as he loved his daughters. I still have some adding to that piece I want to do; it is a process for me. I love and miss him so much. He was one of the few people that believed in me no matter what and was proud of what I do. He would be so proud today!! I try to remember that on days when I feel like throwing in the towel and saying fuck it!
Where do you get your ink done? Ugh!! Shamefully, I've been to a few different places. I'm still on the hunt for a legit artist that's not here today MIA tomorrow ( a common problem here in the Dirty 5 Thirty).

Calling all artists lol!!

My new booty tattoo of a snake & flowers, I originally got as a cover up of an old tattoo that I didn't care for anymore. What made me get it was that it screams "Wild" and I love wild things!
The tattoos I am working on next is my back piece. The theme is "Born to be Wild" , so I am hoping it will be very interesting!
What’s the main influence behind your bodywork?
I do plan on getting some more piercings as well.
We see that you have got that big tattoo on your booty, what made you get that done?
The main influence behind my body work is that I feel that's how I express my creativity and how I'm Unik as my model name says. I also love when I'm out in public and the first thing they mention is my artwork.
What’s your favourite piece and why? My favourite piece is a hard decision because I love them all. I would say my sleeve work means the most to mean due to it being the most exposed.
What’s the sexiest photo shoot have you done so far? My sexiest photo shoot I've done so far is a tough question. It's hard to decide because they were all sexy to me. I would have to
say my most recent photo shoot was the sexiest because each time my goal is to come even harder than before to make my fans stay in tune with my career.
What do you think of PAPERCHASERS INK magazine? I think Paperchasers Ink Mag is a fabulous ink magazine. I love the name because those are two words I would use to describe myself. I would recommend this magazine to people that love to see people with dope ink.

What tattoo are you going to get done next? I'm thinking of getting my top arm finished off. The bottom is finished, its an angels and demons kind of theme to it; with a twist of how life can be you know. I really want to get my neck done also but, friends are not so keen on that neither is my girlfriend.
We had to get our girl Cherelle in the magazine and have a little talk with her about her passion What’s the main for tattoos and more Hi Cherelle, what’s up, how have you been? hey, I'm kool thanks. Life is very good for me at the moment; Im going travelling around the world in less than 2 months and have just started a project with a group of creative friends; on an upcoming clothing line 'sole snatcher', which i have tatted on me. I'm 21 years old with the nickname COCO, a dancer and have done modelling too.
Ok let’s talk about your tattoos, how many do you have? I have 15 tattoos' including 1 sleeve.
When did you get your first one? I got my first tattoo when i was 14, i remember sneaking out of school at dinner time with my friend Daniella, to this tattooist who have been around for years and is still surviving; very old school.
influence behind your artwork? I cannot really put one thing down to my influence on my artwork, Ive just always loved tattoos' and the creativity behind it..
What do they mean to you? i love that i can take control and design myself on how i express myself to be and the way i want but, it all represents myself in some way or other.
tattooed on their underarm totally foolish but, hey each to their own.
What's your favourite tattoo shop and artists? i love Sarah Fabel i think she's amazing and Hi-Tone also.. which I'm going to get inked by when I'm out in the states so, that will be amazing. But if i was going to say tattooist who have tatted myself, i must say Matt "face" Stevens. He's awesome, the creativity and the range of work he does and for his age.. he's done me some amazing designs and also, fixed ones that tattooists have done on me before and, he's also covered my dad too.
What do you think of PAPERCHASERS INK magazine?
I think yourselves are well professional and one of the top tattoo magazines out What’s your favourite there which you guys are, piece and why? your worldwide and have Well, I cant put a finger on done top scale things and one exact piece to say its have a good variety in your my favourite because i love magazine.. which a lot of all my artwork for different others doesn't have. And reasons but, my chest piece I'm looking forward to is the most awesome by far. doing photo-shoots and working with yourselves What’s the worst again! tattoo you have seen in #teampaperchasersink

yourself/who you are! Those who know me know me as a musician / artist, i have been recording and performing most of my life and worked with a lot of people in the industry, I have toured the UK and performed internationally too. I also model various clothing labels and have modelled for shopping channel QVC more recently.

INK GIRL
I currently have 6 tats
When did you get your first one? I got my first on my lower back on my 21st birthday, i will never forget that experience although it obviously didn't put me off
We talk with music artist N’Chyx and talk with her What tattoo are you going to get done about her tattoos and next? living good I have a few in mind, with Hi N’chyx, what’s up, how have you been? Hey guys, well I've been working on some new music, doing a lot of writing and at the same time working on a more positive me having become part of a healthier lifestyle program that i also promote and work on helping people improve their body and lifestyle.
me building on 2 i already have on my arms. By the time this is published i may have started my new one.
What’s the main influence behind your bodywork?
regret a tat so personally it makes sense to have a meaning or reason attached to them.
What’s your favourite piece and why? My most recent one on my forearm has to be my favourite so far, i put a lot of thought into the design. I'm a cancer and believe i have many of the traits so i designed a heart with grab legs holding a diamond which comes out of a treasure chest , the diamond to me also represents out of the darkness comes light. There's a lock on the heart and an 'Ankh' key falling out of the chest representing life and knowledge.
Where do you get your ink done? The more regular one i have been to is The Old Tattoo Emporium in Wolverhampton.
What do you think of PAPERCHASERS INK magazine? I really like the mag and browsing through the tattoo designs, its a good platform for people who like tattoos and are passionate about them.
N’CHYX We want to thank you for being a member of the Paperchasers ink movement! Tell the world about
I like to have input on the designs of my tattoos as i like them to represent me as a person, what i like and believe in.
What do they mean to you?
Each of them have different meanings, i never want to
Who do you want to big up?
Obviously you guys first and foremost and all those that are supporting me as an artist, can't forget my *Healthy Fuel* team either!

PAPERCHASERS INK
GUIDE TO A
AKIRA This is, beyond any doubt, one of the best animated films in existence. Visually impressive, solid direction, with a compelling story (if a little complicated), just the right amount of character development, good and very appropriate soundtrack and an extensively detailed New Tokyo, Akira manages to be as groundbreaking as it was when it was first Released. It's only drawback is that most people (including me) will probably have to watch it again (and again maybe) to completely understand the full story but that's a good thing. Highly recommended (especially to anime fans). I give it 8
GHOST IN THE SHELL I would highly recommend this cyber-political-industrial thriller that envisions our future in a hyper realistic (idealistic?) Way. The plot is excellent, though I did not get it the first time. The quality of the graphics surpasses any anime available on the market and the soundtrack is beautiful. The creative team did an amazing job providing the movie with fine details, harmony in this very descriptive world of high technology (AI) and traditional Japan. I thoroughly believe it is a masterpiece, a unique audio-visual experience. (cf. Blade Runner, Akira) we love it!!
NINJA SCROLL Ninja Scroll" is also one of the best Anime' films I've ever seen, as it contains more than its fair share of graphic swordplay combat and plenty of exposed (female) flesh, sex, and out there mysticism. It has one of those murky, hard-to-follow plots typical of a lot of Japanese animation, but it involves a wandering vagabond, Jubei, who also happens to be a master swordsman. He's the best there is, simply put. Like all heroes of his calibre, however, he's not without many demons haunting his past.
NIME FILMS
AFRO SAMURAI
PAPRIKA
REDLINE
The plot of Afro Samurai is really just an after thought; it's the fight scenes that are really the star of the show here. A word to the squeamish: Afro Samurai is one of the bloodiest, goriest and most anatomically detailed anime series on the market, so if you've got stomach issues with splatter flicks, avoid this one like syphilis. If, however, high-definition animated gore-porn is your Thing,
Who ever thought anime could be so fantastical? While the plot, at times confusing and going on the border of being a stereotypical anime, is terrific and i couldn't ask for it to be any better. Many reviewers condemned this film because of the randomness and lack of explanation for some parts, but i believe that Satoshi Kon did this on Purpose. Kon simply made this movie like a dream; it is colorful, incredible, random, and offers scarce explanations. The film wants you to think about what the meaning of these "dreams" are, instead of telling you what the meaning is, much like what you would have to do with a real dream.
The movie opens with a race that is merely impossible, and introduces J.P., who almost wins it until a Mafia bomb takes out his front wheel. The crown goes to Sonoshee, his childhood crush and next best racer.
Afro Samurai will not disappoint. Each fight scene is beautifully choreographed and fluidly animated to deliver some truly jaw-dropping, gut wrenching, wince –"oh man, that's gotta hurt"
They are just two of the weird characters who qualify for the ultimate landscape-altering contest. This year, the Redline race committee feels that equipping the cars with rockets and grenades doesn't make for nearly enough mayhem, and decides to hold the race on Roboworld – a planet run by Nazi cyborg generals

INK GIRL We had to get Natalie in the magazine to have a little talk with her about tattoos and what they mean to her, She has been one of our members who is making moves and we love it We want to thank you for being a member of the Paperchasers ink movement! Tell the world about yourself/who you are! My name is Natalie Nicole. I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma then moved to Atlanta, Georgia. My main profession is a hairstylist/barber. I went to Atlanta for a couple of days to see the potential of the city. I found myself on set helping prep models for Show Magazine & the celebrity photographer who owned the studio, Ernest Washington, said he loved my look and wanted to shoot before I left to go back home. That's the first time I ever got in front of the camera for a tattoo photo shoot, which brought you the picture of me in the yellow swimsuit with the boots. I went back to Tulsa, & did a shoot with photographer Finally Focus, which brought you the rest of the beautiful photos. I love fashion, the expression of creativity is endless.
I style all of my shoots, and also shoots for other people as well. Thank you for starting such a wonderful movement where people can showcase their ink!

THIEF REVIEW
So let's talk about the game Thief; Where you play master thief, kdeplomanic Garrett who begins his journey by being interrupted in the middle at a heist by his protege Erin or she who likes to kill whereas Garrett takes a more Batman approach of no killing. Things turn to crap and after some mystical magic moments and a building collapsing, Garrett is knocked out and awakens a year later only to find out his city is on a worse condition than when he began his mystical journey. The city is now filled with a mental illness called THE GLOOM, and to make things worse, the mean old watcher enforcing his law on all who look slightly 'Gloomy'. But stress less your fat friend Basso has some jobs for you to progress this story and side missions - if you
choose - he forgives you for not calling him for a year and asks you to track down several key items for the voice of the people; Orion, a man ready to clean the streets and save this city. But your new best friend has an enemy, the Thief-Taker general; A Gang of New York looking Daniel DayLewis/Bill the butcher type who wants these lands for his mystical buddy Baron Northcrest, the jerk whose magic put you to sleep. Now for a guy who has had a year off, Garrett sure wants you to take your sweet time on this game. If you rush this game you will die, you will run into a dead end, be beaten with clubs by soldiers and of course, you will die. This game is made to be played slow, they want you to take your time as you work your way
which is how you want to feel. If you are finding the game to difficult you can purchase upgrades to make your life that much easier but to be able to afford them you need to STEALTHY- explore the city and be the biggest kleptomaniac you've ever seen, sort of like a AntiSanta Clause; you come into peoples homes, fell your sack with all their cutlery, candle sticks etc. and then you sell them.
through snippets of areas with patrolling guards whose patterns you must learn to out smart them and sneak by them. Stealth is your friend so stay in the shadows, blow out lights, put out flames and just hide. You have a lights sphere that tells you if you're visible or hidden, thankfully the game is mostly dark so unless you're standing in front of a candle or under a light, you should be well hidden. The most satisfying thing about playing stealthy is the 'Swoop' where you can dart a couple meters in any direction, forward, back and side to side making you feel like a bad ass master thief
If you get caught stealing prepare to fight in an odd little dance of dodging and attacking with your pathetic blackjack club, you dent have a sword or anything like that. Get into a fight with one guard is no problem but let a battle commence with 2 or more and you might as well call it a day, you are going to die. You also have a bow which shoots a Variety of arrows types; Water arrows to put out flames and plunge a room into further darkness while fire arrows can light oil on fire and blow stuff up or blunt arrows that can be used to hit switches, distract guards. l found most rarely using the bow at all other than when using the rope arrows used to open up new areas. you dent need
them but they can help you find things of the beaten path often a alternative route or some secret loot. If you survive the game and are looking for a more difficulties, you can customise your own settings to make the game as challenging as you want. You want death to mean Game Over? Done, you can do that and lots more. Thief can be a tricky game even on the standard thief difficulty, l found the game pretty hard. It's an Ok game but you have to take it slow and you will often feel restricted in the choices you can make on your approach of missions; You can enter through the back but not the front... and that its! That all you really have, So besides Gamerscore/Trophies and Leader board, the replay value is just not there because you'd feel like you've seen it all during your first play through. 6.5 out of 10 is all I can give this game..

ULTRA
STREET
FIGHTER 4
It's that time again fight fans, yet another Street Fighter IV is set to hit our stores with the addition of new playable characters, stages to battle it out on and some new gaming modes but is this enough to keep Street Fighter as the king ot fighting games? Hello old and New USF4 (Ultra Street Fighter 4) brings us an additional 5 new fighters to add to the already gigantic 39 available from its predecessor SF4: Arcade Edition. Rolento Making a return to the SF universe is a personal favourite of mine, Rolento F. Shugerugu more commonly known as just Rolento. Originally a boss character in the Final Fight series, the German-American has made an appearance in many of the Street Fighter games but was first introduced as a playable fighter in SF:Alpha 2.
Hugo Another from the Final Fight also known as "Andore" standing at a whooping 8
feet, Hugo is the tallest fighter in the history the game. The image of Hugo was designed to pay homage to WWE star Andrè the Giant which is where the surname Andore originates from. Poison Manager and friend of Hugo, this pink haired temptress was a highly recognised member of the Mad Gear group. Poisons
acrobatic flip kicks from her in Street Fighter X Tekken has been refined for this venture, utilising the whips she carries with moves like Cat Claw & Thunder Whip. Elena This Kenyan beauty is one I'm happy about as I loved her capoeria fighting style in a 2D beat em up. First appearing in Street Fighter 3: New Generation, this East African princess is the only character to use nothing by kicks (sorta like Dudleg or Bullrog). Decapre First time playable, Decapre was first showcased during the first boss battle with M.
Bison back in SF:Alpha 3. She appeared with Juni & Juli but is now fully playable this time around. Resembling Cammy down to her signature pigtails, not much is known about Decapre but we can rejoice in the fact her move set has been altered to make her different from those similar to her. What's New ? Red Focus: this new ability allows you to me the fact you're getting a serious beat down to fight back with extra speed, strength, damage and increased special bar. Team Battle Mode: an elimination style 3V3 battle which is completely online providing an endurance test of skills and technique as players health
bars carry over from each round. Standing Delay Now you've been given the ability to play mind tricks with your friends with delaying your character standing up and surprise your opponent with a well timed counter. Edition Select Choose the era of your fighter with the new edition select. from the STREET FIGHTER 4 up to SUPER STREET FIGHTER 4 Arcade Edition v2012, all outfits from all the SF4 genre is available so you can beat down your friends in the costume from any of your favourite next gen Street Fighters. Online Training Mode Grab your friends and
practice your combos to maximise your progress. Training sessions have more realistic ways to see it you're getting better instead of just having a computer controlled A.I. that wont let you work on the Focus Cancel combo you've been trying to master. Capcom have listened to the fans on this venture bringing a more balanced and free flowing core game mechanics as well as polished graphics that make the 6 NEW stages; Pitstop 109, Mad Gear Hideout, Cosmic Elevator, Blast Furnace, High Pipe and Jurassic Era look vibrant and colourful. Ultra Street Fighter 4 is due to hit the stores June 2014 and is priced at ÂŁ29.99 so get that practice in fight fan. Review by Lyrique Dee Poet
