Kidrobot x Street Fighter V Figures Now Available

For anyone who is a fan of collecting Street Fighter themed memorabilia, you’ve got another set of figures to add to your list. Kid Robot has launched a new line of Street Fighter figures, including a 7″ Hot Ryu, a 7″ Akuma and a blind box mini series for all of the original cast of Street Fighter V.

The Hot Ryu and Akuma figures are self explanatory while the blind box series has collectors receiving a random World Warrior when you open up a box. You can buy a pack of 20 in one go to increase you chances of getting that rare Karin or R. Mika figure but with each figure being $9.99 a pop, it’s quite a costly investment to get the whole set. As mentioned, there are no DLC characters like Urien or Guile in this series, it’s just the original 16 fighters from the vanilla version of Street Fighter V. The Hot Ryu and Akuma figures cost $49.99 and would act as a decent stocking stuffer for any fighting game fan this Christmas.

You can purchase the figures over on Kidrobot’s website and check out the gallery below to have a quick glance at the figures before you consider clicking “Add to Basket.”

Danish Sends His Enemies to the Shadow Realm in This Ganondorf Combo Video for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

As a former Ganondorf main in Smash 4, I’m always delighted to see a combo video which pushes the King of Darkness to his full potential. Infamous for having the hardest hits but one of the worst neutral games out of the whole cast, getting Ganondorf to work in the current meta is an absolute nightmare. So, when someone like Danish creates a montage which shows the beefy evil wizard dunking on opponents, it brings a tear to a ex-Gerudo’s eye.

This combo video displays the strengths Ganondorf does have if he gets going; insane damage output, easy edgeguards with reverse up-air, soul crushing suicide kills with off stage Flame Choke and footstool combos which guarantee death or a broken controller for your opponent. While you’re probably never going to see a Ganondorf in top 32, let alone top 8 of a Smash 4 major, you can still marvel at his raw power in combo videos like this.
