Earlier this week, Level|Up Series announced that SoCal Regionals 2015 may see a bit of a delay due to issues with their planned venue, and today have revealed their contingency should they miss the tournament’s original scheduling.

Although the search for a new location is still ongoing, the organizers are considering the weekend of June 5 in the event nothing is available in order to avoid conflicts with other community happenings.

As one of our scene’s largest yearly tournaments, not to mention a premier event on this year’s Capcom Pro Tour, such a move is sure to affect a good number of competitors who have already made plans to attend.

With visits to other locations set for this week, it’s possible Level|Up will have an answer for everyone in the near future, so stay tuned.

Improve Your M. Bison Pressure in Ultra Street Fighter IV

By their nature, charge characters in fighting games such as Ultra Street Fighter IV tend to not be able to do their moves right out of walking forward. However, for M. Bison, Mono has developed combos that allow him to use the hitstun from Bison’s normals to buffer the charge even if he’s walking forward.

In the video below, Mono explains how the dictator can utilize these charge extension combos. Proper use of these techniques allow M. Bison to not just get good damage, but also continuously apply pressure and then confirm into his knee press if his opponent messes up their defense.
