Arturo Sanchez Goes against Daigo Umehara, Fuudo in Street Fighter V Sets

Aside from running streams as part of Team Spooky, Arturo “Sabin” Sanchez has made a name for himself as one of the top-ranked Dhalsim players in Street Fighter V. As such, during a recent trip to Japan, he took time out to play against two of the country’s best players to see how his skills measure up.

Specifically, he played some first-to-five sets against both Keita “Fuudo” Ai from team Razer, as well as the Beast himself, Daigo Umehara, from team Mad Catz.

For those wondering how the sets went down, the replays of these are now up on Umehara’s YouTube channel. Check them out below.

Elder Scrolls Online: Dark Brotherhood Second Impressions

I never played the single player Elder Scrolls games (I know its blasphemy). So I’m not incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the Dark Brotherhood. I knew what they were, a guild of assassins, killing those who were marked for death. After going through this new DLC for The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel Unlimited I have a much deeper understanding for what they do and what they are. They’re called Dark Brotherhood for a reason, this DLC is fantastically dark.
