Learn About the Ninja Behind the Kunai in Capcom UK’s Street Fighter World Warrior Series

Earlier this week, we shared the secrets to beating Ibuki’s basic vortex. Now, thanks to the folks at Capcom UK, we can learn a little bit more about the girl who has been the source of so much frustration in Ultra Street Fighter IV.

As with previous World Warriors videos, this footage shares a breakdown of Ibuki’s story, treating viewers to details of her humble beginnings as a trainee in a secret ninja society all the way up to her task of infiltrating the Illuminati in Street Fighter III. But Ibuki’s background isn’t all fighting and ninjitsu; as her win quotes often suggest, she’s a sucker for cake and would like nothing more than to leave her ninja training behind in favor of a normal life.

If you’re a fan of Ibuki or just enjoy learning more about the Street Fighter universe, be sure to check out the video below.

Newcomer Erron Black All But Confirmed for Mortal Kombat X

Ever since making an appearance in DC Comics’ ongoing Mortal Kombat X prequel series, Erron Black has constantly been brought up in discussions about the game’s playable cast. For good reason to: his cowboy attire and importance to the story as part of Kotal Kahn’s crew (at least in the beginning) caught the eyes of many folks in the community.

Sure, he may not be as interesting as fellow newcomers like the aforementioned emperor of Outworld and bug lady D’Vorah, but he has a mask! And guns! And mystery!

Along the way, there have been plenty of hints pointing towards Black’s playability, including prominent appearances in Mortal Kombat X’s achievements and yesterday’s anagrams, but NetherRealm Studios have yet to come out and bluntly state he will fight alongside the rest of the cast.

Time to throw one more teaser on the pile. As they are often wont to do, the developers released a preview of tomorrow’s stream that, in addition to a number of firearm sound effects, dubs the broadcast “Black Friday.”

So, yeah. Look forward to Erron Black footage tomorrow, I suppose?
