Olympic Gaming Showcases ShiiNe’s Yang in Their Latest Ultra Street Fighter IV Spotlight

While Yun is considered by many to be the best character in Ultra Street Fighter IV, some folks tend to forget that his brother Yang also received a good number of buffs. While he was considered to have been “over-nerfed” in the previous version of the game, in Ultra, Yang is now once again a threat in the hands of the right players.

One such player is ShiiNe of FNEX, who is the subject of the latest edition of Olympic Gaming’s Spotlight series. In the footage provided, Olympic highlights some of ShiiNe’s matches using Yang (as well as his Gouken) against players such as Wolfkrone, Tampa Bison, TBR Sensei, and more.

In addition to this, Olympic Gaming also did a short interview with ShiiNe which you can find in the video’s description. In it, ShiiNe discusses his history with the game, why he switched from pad to stick, where his handle comes from, and more.
