Daigo Umehara Unleashes the Beast in Online Street Fighter V Matches

Mad Catz’ Daigo Umehara has been a dominant force in every Street Fighter he’s touched, and it looks like Street Fighter V will be no exception. Despite a surprising loss to Lupe Fiasco during a recent exhibition, Daigo has been actively playing the game and securing a place for himself among the upper ranks of players online.

For those wishing to see more of the Beast letting loose in Street Fighter V, XusesGB has compiled an hour’s worth of match footage highlighting Daigo’s various online challengers. The footage should be of special interest both to Ryu players and those having trouble in the matchup, as Daigo showcases some excellent play with the character he’s most associated with in Street Fighter.

Street Fighter V Trading Cards Now Available on Steam

Trading cards are one of the small, fun things that Valve has added onto their Steam service in previous years. Earned by simply playing certain games, these virtual treasures can be collected and traded like regular trading cards.

Now, all of you Street Fighter V players can begin gathering cards as well, as Capcom recently announced that their flagship fighter now supports this functionality. Like all Steam trading cards, half of the set can be collected by playing the game, while the other half must be traded from other players.

Those who collect the whole Street Fighter V set can then craft their cards into a special game badge that is displayed on their Steam profile. Additionally, this badge also gives players special bonus items, including emoticons, profile backgrounds, and even coupons.
