Electrify Your Street Fighter V Opponents as Laura with Momochi’s New Video Lecture

In #15 of his series of video lectures on the basics of Street Fighter V, Evil Geniuses’ Momochi addresses the perky Brazilian grappler Laura. He breaks down how to utilize her command grab, Bolt Charge, Thunder Clap, and V-skill, and how to mix them up to keep the pressure on to cover Laura’s weaker defence.

In his opinion, Laura is a fairly basic character and pretty easy to use; for those thinking of trying her out, the video provides a lot of tools to get started. EG|Momochi also lectured recently on Zangief’s basics, as well as Karin and Rashid.

Capcom CEO Admits Street Fighter V Needed “More Polish” Before Launch

Capcom’s Chairman and CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto has confirmed in a Financial Results Briefing for investors that Capcom is taking Street Fighter V’s rocky launch into consideration, and will endeavor to learn from the experience for future releases.

In his presentation, Tsujimoto states “… some aspects of ‘Street Fighter V’ needed more polish, such as the lack of content and server issues at launch.” He adds “… it’s better to give a little more time to development than before, and have made slight adjustments to our portfolio.”

Street Fighter V’s lean offline content and unstable offline play certainly raised vocal critcism even as the gameplay mechanics and new characters were welcomed by the community. With the game’s sales coming up shy of Capcom’s expectations, it seems those early complaints have been noted by the company.

Kenzo Tsujimoto’s full presentation can be read here.

MK Leo Approved for Canadian Visa to Attend GOML 2016

There has been a breakthrough with Leffen’s visa and now we have another pro-Smasher who is finally able to compete outside of his home country. It has been announced by the host of Get On My Level 2016, TorontoJoe, that Mexican wunderkind Hydra Gaming’s MK Leo has attained a Canadian visa and will be able to attend his first tournament outside of Mexico.

The 15-year-old Meta Knight main has been causing upset after upset in Mexican tournaments, consistently coming first or second whenever he enters, defeating other top Mexican players like Hyuga and his own brother Javi along the way. Leo really made waves when he first beat Dutch Sheik Mr R at Smash Factor 4 and then a year later, he defeated another notable Sheik in the form of Vinnie in the finals of True Combo, cementing his position as Mexico’s best and potentially best Meta Knight in the world.

Leo’s placing at GOML 2016 will be the true decider as to whether he is truly a top 10 player, or if his success is restricted to only in his homeland. With other top players like Mew2King, Ally, Nairo and Mr R in attendance, Get On My Level 2016 is looking to be an absolute belter of a tournament for Super Smash Bros for Wii U.

GOML 2016 is running from May 20-22 in Ontario, Canada and is hosted by EvenMatchupGaming. Check out their Twitter and the smash.gg page for any upcoming news on other top players attending the tournament.
