It seems like the western FGC is enamored with Joe “LI Joe” Ciaramelli these days. Every week, we are getting new interviews and footage with him, and we can’t complain. The ever-affable LI Joe is always well-spoken and has something poignant to say.

This week, Red Bull eSports posted an interview with him at BigE Monthly Battles in Philadelphia. In the interview, LI Joe talks about his motivation for attending the Red Bull Proving Grounds events, and his aspirations for making it into Capcom Cup. He also discusses why he feels that the East Coast is lagging behind other regions in Street Fighter V, and what he believes they can do to step it up.

In the video below, DolphinBrick explains just how useful and flexible Orcane’s side special can be–illuminating some very unusual property the move has in the process.
