Watch Daigo Umehara Stay Cool Under Pressure in These Online Street Fighter V Matches

The ability to stay calm and focused under the pressure of an opponent’s attack is crucial to succeed in any fighting game. This trait is something Daigo Umehara is known for, and XusesGB decided to highlight it with this compilation of Street Fighter V online fights in which Umehara (as memememe) keeps his cool and comes back to dismantle the opponent with his well-honed Ryu techniques.

Want to see more of Umehara’s online battles? XusesGB also compiled these fights from within the CFN upper ranks.

Gamers, Unite: Maximilion Asks Players to Speak Out in Favor of Console Crossplay

We’ve already got console-to-PC crossplay in Street Fighter V and Killer Instinct, but with existing multiplatform titles such as Mortal Kombat XL–and numerous downloadable games–no fighter is yet offering crossplay over that Sony/Microsoft barrier. The prospect has arisen again with Tekken 7: Fated Retribution being bound for Xbox One and PC, as well as PlayStation 4–and it’s been said that the only thing keeping the Tekken from having such a feature is Sony’s unwillingness to allow it.

Maximilion has taken to his YouTube channel to ask fighting game fans to let Sony know that they want full crossplay in existing and upcoming titles, by tweeting at them with the #unitegamers hashtag. In the video below he discusses why keeping these games stuck in their respective sandboxes is detrimental to our community, and needlessly narrows the range of competition available to online fighters.
