Month: September 2016

For four weeks, Hyounoo “DrakeFang” Sung has run a tournament series at Korea’s well-known Street Fighter stomping grounds–ArcadeStream. The series acted as a qualifier, with the top two of each week qualifying for the final top 8. While the proceeds of the ₩10,000 went to charity, the final event itself has something extremely coveted by its participants.

DrakeFang is offering a limited edition Evolution 2016-themed Madcatz Touranment Edition 2 fightstick to the 1st place winner in the winner take all grand finals. Many of ArcadeStream’s mainstays, and some of Korea’s best players, have taken part in the series to get this gem–numbered 27 out of the 30 in existence. Here is the list of the players participating in the finals, to be held on Saturday, September 10th at 5PM KST (1AM PST):

• [TAS] ROF (Birdie -Australia)
• [TAS] zZInsaneZz (R. Mika – Brazil)
• it_g_ma_yo (Rashid – Korea)
• diabloDOC (Ryu – Korea)
• nakodid (M. Bison – Korea)
• BreastPantyHip (R. Mika – Korea)
• crazyforsf (Dhalsim – Korea)
• Dunhill (Karin – Korea)

It was quite a while ago that Team SoloMid’s ZeRo started his own personal Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tier list–back in June, in fact–weighing in on how he felt the roster stacked up after the 1.1.6 patch based on his own admittedly subjective experience and observations. He originally began from the top down; after neglecting to continue his list for a while, he recently resumed a revised version from the bottom up–and that list has now been completed.

We recently reported on his new bottom and low and mid and upper tiers; to finish it all off, here are his high and top tier videos:

Since first starting this list, it seems ZeRo’s had a change of heart on a few fighters: no longer as confident in Ryu, ZeRo has moved the wandering warrior down while bumping up Sonic and–to the surprise of many players–now claims Rosalina & Luma belong in the number one spot. Midgar’s Cloud fell in ZeRo’s esteem all the way from #2 to #6, while mainstay Fox climbed a bit–even Bayonetta got a post-nerf boost.

The list is complete, but the debates will undoubtedly continue.
