There’s no question that the United Arab Emirates’s GAMES15 convention last weekend brought plenty of excitement to Street Fighter players around the world. On top of news of the inclusion of Rashid to the forthcoming Street Fighter V, the convention also housed a handful tournaments, including one for Ultra Street Fighter IV.

The grand finals came down to a set between Infiltration and local powerhouse Big Bird of Falcon Arena. It’s by no means a short set thanks to a bracket reset, and features a good deal of variety when it comes to character selection. So if you’re looking to check out some high-level Street Fighter IV action, grab a cup of coffee and get ready for the long haul.

If you’re in the market for a new Mortal Kombat X main, STB.BBS|Shujinkydink’s new Summoner Quan Chi guide offers arguments for why the pale sorcerer should be your next stop on the character select screen.

In this two part series, the Quan Chi master demonstrates how to make the most of the variant’s bat in every aspect of the match. These tips include approach options, zoning options, and how to perform combos that would normally cost meter by correctly timing the trait usage and saving the meter for something else, the importance of which can’t be stressed enough on a character so lacking in the defense department.

In addition to the standard tutorial fare, Shujinkydink dedicates a good deal of footage to setting up resets off of trance, including vortex options that can keep opponents locked down until death.
