In a statement released on the Nintendo of Japan website, it has been revealed that Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will be getting another balance patch sometime in the near future. While this patch has been confirmed to be a balance patch by translators, it may also be an update to potentially close some of the loopholes which have allowed modders to drastically change the game with texture hacks, new music and even an altered stage select screen to reflect the current tournament stage list.

The Nintendo Network is currently scheduled for maintenance later today, meaning the patch may actually be released tonight. That in mind, make sure to update your systems if you are attending tournaments this week. Many hope that this patch will finally see Bayonetta, current scourge of many players, toned down somewhat while low tiers across the land hope that they will see their character finally become viable with buffs.

Stay tuned for more information surrounding this update as it becomes available.

The mastermind behind CEO and former Iron Galaxy community manager Alex Jebailey has officially joined Avyd as their Program Director for all Fighting Game Community Initiatives. This means Jebailey will be overseeing all FGC operations within the company, including event planning, partnership management, and creating and maintaining interest from the community.

In an interview with Yahoo Esports, Jebailey expressed excitement and optimism regarding the position.

“Avyd’s vision and what they see for eSports and the FGC is all very promising. With my experience hosting FGC events and building communities, I can help Avyd with their foray into the FGC,” Jebailey said.

While this is a fantastic opportunity for Jebailey, he assures everyone that CEO and his other regular tournament commitments will remain unchanged by his new position.

“I’ll continue to run CEO and its events the same way you’ve seen them over the years. CEO has had some great presenting partnerships in the past and Avyd is no different. I wouldn’t be able to put on a production like CEO without partnerships like this,” Jebailey said.

We at Shoryuken wish Jebailey the best in his new position.
