Month: June 2016

The exciting guest on this episode of the Daily Dot Esports segment, Best of III, is none other than Alex Jebailey, the organizer of Community Effort Orlando and CEOtaku.

AceKingOffSuit and the crew recap recent events in the Capcom Pro Tour, some of the E3 news like the Injustice 2 gameplay, and fresh looks at the Street Fighter V story mode.

Later on, Alex Jebailey joins the show, and they start off the conversation with the recent, unfortunate events in Orlando, Florida. Jebailey already made a statement regarding security precautions for the event. They discuss the big expected number of participants, which adds up 2959 pre-registered entrants.

Game developers and publishers aren’t the only companies who attend E3. Peripheral makers, such as HORI, were also at the event, showing off some new stuff.

At their booth, HORI had a couple of prototypes of some upcoming arcade sticks for the PlayStation 4. First up were a pair of colored Real Arcade Pro 4 Kais. These were shown in blue and red and had a textured metallic finish and came with matching colored Hayabusa buttons.

More exciting, though, is a new iteration of their vaunted Fighting Edge arcade stick. This new version, surprisingly enough, loses the haptic touch area of the previous model–now replaced with a physical start button. It also gains a new brushed metal top panel and new LED lit frosted Hayabusa buttons. Additionally, it features a 3 row button layout similar to the custom layout that HORI player Naoto “Sakonoko” Sako has been using at tournaments.

For those interested in how these products look, TEAM SPLITFRAME’s Hibachi was at the event and has shared some photos of the prototypes (as well as of other sticks, like the new King of Fighters XIV HRAP.4 Kai). You can check these out in the gallery below.
