So they announced a few secret characters for the upcoming Street Fighter X Tekken crossover fighting game… and the biggest surprise is probably Mega Man! Or should I say, the creepy middle-aged Mega Man 1 boxart Mega Man. Fred seemed to be pretty weirded out by this, but I think he’s kinda awesome! While they’re at it maybe they should throw in the tiny green deformed Captain N Mega Man too?

Great, now I won’t be able to play Ms. Pac-Man ever again without seeing banana peels. :/
Another great Appsro Animation

Anyone else remember Clayfighters? Yeah me neither. Anyway enjoy this Pac-Man musical!

And finally our grand prize for most creative pumpkin goes to Nick Everson for his Halo: Reach Haunted Helmet! Not only is it a great design, but it looks awesome when it’s on fire! I guess that particular haunted helmet belongs to someone at Bungie?

Our runners-up prizes for most creative go to Nick and Molly for their uniquely lit Pacman and Ghosts, and Daniel Potvin for The Original Ghost Pump-kemon that features everyone’s three favorite original ghost Pokémon (and a creatively painted Pokeball!) Well done, and congrats again to everyone for making this a fantastic 3rd Halloween carving contest!
