Month: June 2016

The team behind one of the biggest Super Smash Bros. tournaments of 2016–and among the largest of all time–Genesis 3, have announced their return to San Jose for Genesis 4 on January 20th-22nd, 2017.

Genesis 3, which played host to more than 3,500 individual Smash Bros. enthusiasts, has only been surpassed by Evo in terms of attendance and was a successful return installment of a tournament series that had been dormant for 5 years.

The announcement of Genesis 4 for January of 2017 suggests that the series won’t be undergoing another hibernation after the success of Genesis 3.

The response following the announcement has been huge, with more than 300 attendees already confirmed just a few hours after registration opened. With such a strong start, it would come as little surprise if Genesis 4 were to challenge Evo in terms of registration, though beating out Evo’s tallies of over 2,000 players for both Smash 4 and Melee will take some doing!

Street Fighter V’s June update is on the horizon, and it is bringing with it loads of alternate costumes and 3 brand new stages! We already broke down most of the contents of the June patch, and most of the outfits were leaked through datamining a few months back, but outfits for DLC characters Guile and Ibuki are also going to be available next week.

You can see all of these costumes and stages in the gallery below.

In addition to the aesthetic DLC, Ibuki will of course be coming along with a Cinematic Story Mode. Check out our article on a breakdown of Ibuki to brush up on her moves and playstyle, and check out our story mode coverage if you don’t mind light spoilers.
