Evo 2016 Will Allow DualShock 4 Controllers

Here’s some great news for pad players out there: the Evolution Championship Series staff has made the decision to legalize DualShock 4 usage at this year’s event. Though normally banned due to their Bluetooth capabilities, folks who rely on these devices to compete will now be able to utilize their controller of choice.

But that doesn’t mean there won’t be regulations in place to ensure they don’t interfere with the competition. It will be every DualShock 4 users’ responsibility to make sure their controller is no longer paired with the console after their match. Anyone who doesn’t risks automatically disqualified from the tournament.

If you plan to compete in Street Fighter V, Mortal Kombat X, or Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-, and are unsure of how to desync controllers from the PlayStation 4, the video below should have all the answers you need.

Evo 2016 is scheduled for July 15-17 in Las Vegas, Nevada. More details can be found here.

Street Fighter V Beta Glitches Hurt Cammy, Help Chun-Li

Being that the game is still in beta, it’s understandable that Street Fighter V still has some glitches that need ironing out. At least two were discovered in recent builds.

First up, if Cammy mistimes an anti-air back strong and gets hit, the attack lands not once, but twice, regardless of the jump-in’s properties, and receives double damage. In the video below, SBABigArch breaks this glitch down showing the range in which it’s triggered.

Next, Raf El discovered a strange interaction that causes an airborne opponent to slowly float to the ground should they land on Chun-Li’s Kikoken, allowing her a chance to juggle for more damage. As we haven’t seen this before and no other examples were provided, it’s possible this is character-specific to Zangief or an oddity of early online play.

The bug in question happens around 1:47. A slow motion replay is also available near the end of the video.

Street Fighter V is scheduled to launch for PlayStation 4 and PC. Let’s hope these bugs don’t come with it.
