Daigo Runs the Online Urien Gauntlet in This Street Fighter V Replay Collection

While trying to crack the Guile matchup alongside fellow Ryu researchers Kuroda and Tokido, the Beast has been in the wilds of Street Fighter V online by himself, attempting to master the Urien matchup. With RB’s Urien giving Daigo the business back at Red Bull Battle Grounds, he is now trying to plug any holes in his character knowledge ahead of Capcom Cup next month.

To catalogue this training process, XusesGB has been on the case to compile all of these Urien matches into a single video. Some notable Japaneses Uriens do make an appearance in this video, including Angry Ojisan and Yu5ririn, who even received his own prior montage from Xuses. Let’s hope Daigo is now prepared to face the wrath of the Aegis Reflector come December 3rd.

Street Fighter V, Catherine, Rivals of Aether and Towerfall Are Now Part of the Genesis 4 Lineup

Expanding the pool of games past just the Smash series, the Genesis 4 team has just released a brand new trailer, announcing four more games that will feature on 2017’s lineup. Street Fighter V acts as the first traditional fighting game to have an official presence at the Smash-centric tournament series, while indie fighter Rivals of Aether makes perfect sense to be at Genesis, seeing as the RCS has its grand finale at the event.

Catherine, everyone’s favorite competitive puzzle fighter, has quite the following among Smashers and traditional fighting game players, while Towerfall Ascension has high-level movement tech like hyper dashing and jump cancelled dodges which are similar to techniques seen in Melee and Project M. The tournament organizers just need to add Windjammers and Lethal League to the lineup and it would be perfect. I will certainly be giving competitive Towerfall a go, so give one of the extra games a chance if you have the budget for it.

Sign ups are now open on smash.gg for these additional games, with the main registration period for Genesis 4 closing on the 28th of November. Seats for Sunday finals are disappearing fast, with all orchestra seats already sold out. Genesis 4 is on at the San Jose Convention Center from January 20th to 22nd.

eBay Cyber Monday Deal Will Feature a PlayStation 4 Pro, Bundled with Street Fighter V

As Black Friday is approaching in the United States, stores are bustling with deals and savings to get everyone abandoning the turkey table as fast as possible. With Sony’s launch of renewed PlayStation 4 editions,–the Slim and the Pro–the console market is ripe for big markdowns and a healthy injection of sales.

While the cheaper Slim has many deals going around, the premium Pro, retailing at $399 USD, less so. BestBlackFriday.com reports that eBay (seller unspecified) will have a Cyber Monday bundle available, featuring the PlayStation 4 Pro console with two games packaged: Street Fighter V and Watch Dogs 2. The site states that the list price for this is $499.97, but the Cyber Monday deal will offer it at $399.99.

We’re staying on the lookout for other hot deals coming up next week.
