Fans of both Kingdom Hearts and Super Smash Bros. have been calling for Sora to join the Smash roster for quite some time now. A new mod has been rendered that has finally made the dreams of these fans come to life!

For Honor Shows Off PVP Combat at PAX West

r/StreetFighter is Offering Stream Sponsorship to Help Give Exposure to New Streamers

Becoming a full-time streamer or content creator is and always has been hard work; not everyone has the good fortune to get maximum exposure on services such as Twitch, Hitbox.tv, or YouTube Gaming. It takes a lot of dedication and a sizable investment on the streamer’s part to even get started.

r/StreetFighter, the subreddit devoted to serious Street Fighter discussion, has decided to change that for one fortunate person. They plan to sponsor a player by giving them hardware to stream on, assistance in setting up their stream, and public exposure by giving the stream prominence on the r/StreetFighter subreddit.

The sign-up phase starts on September 14th, and prominent members of the subreddit will be involved in the selection process. They list requirements for the sponsorship as having talent, being comfortable in front of the camera, and ability to travel, among others.

If you are interested, keep your eyes peeled on the r/StreetFighter subreddit.

Drawn to embrace the Dark Hado’s terrible power by Akuma’s urging (in his desire for the ultimate opponent) Evil Ryu represent’s one “what if” result of Ryu’s struggle, and provides Street Fighter players a chance to see what a little bit of murderous intent can do to spiff up Ryu’s classic moveset.

XusesGB presents game footage of Evil Ryu’s in-game appearances to date, beginning with his debut as a palette-swap in Street Fighter Alpha 2 (and noting how originally Evil Ryu was not as outright demonic as he is in later incarnations), then showcasing the character’s appearances in Street Fighter Alpha 3, the Street Fighter EX series, the Capcom vs. SNK series and many more.
