Mike Ross Faces Off Against fLoE in a Heated Ultra Street Fighter IV Exhibition

Earlier this week as part of a Street Fighter-focused broadcast, the People’s Champion and Twitch’s own Mike “Mike Ross” Ross challenged Ari “fLoE” Weintraub to a first-to-five Ultra Street Fighter IV set for his viewers to enjoy. In a fairly unorthodox move outside of MOBAs, Mike gave fLoE two bans before the matches started–T. Hawk and Bison–and initially planned to stick with Makoto for the duration.

While we can’t see fLoE’s end of things or check out what was going on in the chat at the time of recording through this archived footage, Mike gives the impression that things are currently rather heated between the two. But given that fLoE recently starred in a handful of episodes of Excellent Adventures (and keeping Ross’ own interesting history with exhibitions in mind), this is sure to be a clever show for the viewers.

In any event, if you’re looking for some fun Ultra Street Fighter IV footage, check out the archive below and let us know what you think. You’ll need to skip forward to the 1:40:30 mark to find the aforementioned exhibition.

If the initial set left you hungry for more, the guys fight a few more times near the end of the archived footage, giving fLoE the opportunity to bring out his T. Hawk against a handful of other characters in Ross’ stable.

World of Warcraft: The Top 5 Free-to-Play WoW Clones

The Top 5 Free-to-Play WoW Clones

The term "WoW Clone" gets thrown around a lot these days. While it may not really be fair to claim that any game should be labeled a clone of another game, it is the reality that we live in. World of Warcraft is, by far, the biggest and most popular MMORPG in the world and as the old saying goes, "If you can’t beat ’em, copy ’em," or something like that.

Upcoming Super Smash Bros. GameCube Controller Sports a Very Lengthy Cord

Fans of the Super Smash Bros. series who spent years honing their skills on GameCube controllers were undoubtedly excited to hear news of Nintendo’s upcoming support of this classic peripheral with the release of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. The game can be purchased alone or as a bundle with an adapter that allows Game Cube controllers to be plugged into the console. The bundle also includes a Smash-themed pad that comes complete with the standard GameCube layout and the iconic Smash logo in the center.

While the pad looks good, GoNintendo recently shared a short video showing off even more reason for Smash fans to be excited about the rebirth of their favorite input device: the cord is really, really long. Embedded below, you’ll find a short clip that shows off how long the new cord is compared to the one found on a classic GameCube pad. It’s honestly pretty impressive.

Of course, if you’re not certain that you want to spring for the bundle that comes with everything you’ll need to Smash like the good ol’ days, you can pick up the adapter as well as the pads on their own.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is scheduled to hit North American consoles on November 21, with European and Japanese releases planned for November 28 and December 6, respectively.
