In February Sabertooth Games will release two major expansions for its increasingly popular UFS (Universal Fighting System) CCGs.  Street Fighter: The Dark Path is the fourth UFS Street Fighter release based on the popular Capcom videogame, while Soulcalibur III: Soul Arena is the third UFS release based on the popular Namco fighting game.

Street Fighter: The Dark Path is a 144-card base set, and it will be available both in 60-card starter decks (MSRP $9.99) and 10-card booster packs (MSRP $3.49).  A number of key Street Fighter characters including T-Hawk, Ryu, and Chun-Li make appearances in this set with their very own starter decks.

The Soulcalibur III: Soul Arena series marks the first appearance of numerous fan favorite characters as well as the return of keystone characters.  The fighters appearing in this set's starter decks are Cervantes, Lizardman, Yoshimitsu, and Abyss.  Soul Arena will also be available in 60-card starter decks ($9.99) and 10-card booster packs.
