Frame 1:
Get Ready to Crush, Kill, and Destroy! Urien’s Official Trailer for Street Fighter V Has Arrived

At long, long last, we get an official trailer for Urien. I love the music, but why Kanzuki Beach…? I guess even the Secret Society’s vice-president needs to take a vacation to go beat F.A.N.G up once in a while.

Frame 2:
“Upload Complete”: Infiltration Talks About His Evolution 2016 Championship with Core-A Gaming

A nice bit of insight into what was a spectacular moment, and RZR|Infiltration’s succinct and ever-memorable “download complete” quote from Evo 2016.

 Frame 3:
Interview with Labib “Slippingbug” Haq, Absolute Battle 7’s Pokkén Tournament Champion

A great interview with a player of one of my favorite (not Street Fighter) games, who mains one of my favorite fighters! Go R. Pika!

Frame 1:
Super Smash Bros. Director Masahiro Sakurai Discusses Game Balance and Marvel vs. Capcom 3 in His Famitsu Column

Sakurai’s discussion about game balance in relation to Marvel is quite something, especially in light of some of the decisions made in the Smash series. Adapt or die, people!

Frame 2:
ClayFighter Now Up for Grabs as Interplay Sells the Majority of Its Intellectual Property

Bad Mr. Frosty, Earthworm Jim and Taffy could be making their grand return, as companies can now bid on the rights to ClayFighter. We could see Little Girly Combos on the Evo 2018 stage.

Frame 3:
Evo Japan, LLC Now a Registered Legal Entity in Japan, Has Huge Media Conglomerate Backing

Evo Japan officially has some big media backing, with more information coming next week during TGS. Get saving for those tickets to Japan.

Frame 1:

The Wind Rises in this Street Fighter V Match Compilation for Takeuchi’s Rashid

Say what you will about r/Kappa, but they sure know how to pick a player. John Takeuchi is hot property at the moment following his win at First Attack. It made him the first Rashid player to pick up victory at a Major, and watching this match compilation, it’s pretty easy to see how he did it.

Frame 2:
Play Pinball with Your Opponents with These Samus Footstool Combos in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Before Smash 4 came out, Masahiro Sakurai said that he was nerfing Samus, the best character in the game. Muramishi finally makes the character look worthy of that sort of talk, thanks to some absolutely filthy setups. 

Frame 3:
HORI Shows Off New Red, White, & Blue Versions of Their Real Arcade Pro 4 Hayabusa Arcade Stick

It should come as no surprise that we love the hardware here at SRK, and these new RAP4 colors are a real treat. You can also get a sneak peak at the Touhou Urban Legends special edition sticks, which have me brushing up on my import regulations.
