Everyone has a fighting chance
Capcom has been pumping up their Pro Tour all year long, mostly using the tournaments themselves to build hype. One side of the community that is rarely touched upon is the musical side; this video highlights many key moments of the event and of the players’ journeys through still images and quick video clips, all played overtop Capcom Cup 2016’s anthem, produced by Cardell.

Brawlhalla is a game that falls under the radar for many of us. Being one of the growing library of Super Smash Bros.-styled fighters, it has a bit of a hard time standing out despite its very unique gameplay. Being a game that offers players a lot of customization–both in the character’s appearance and their playstyle–the game has a high satisfaction rate among people who do give it a try.
The World Championship for the game was held last month, though that’s not too far behind for people to still enjoy its matches. Brawlhalla’s YouTube channel just posted the highlights for the tournaments, which are still a thing of beauty to watch.
There was also a 2v2 tournament, similar to the Super Smash Bros tournament standard “Doubles,” which you can enjoy below.

Tamashii Nations is offering two new Street Fighter V figures built on the S.H.Figuarts body style–this one apparently developed particularly to provide the range of movement necessary to accomodate Street Fighter special move-based poses. Pre-orders are currently open for both Ryu and Chun-Li–scheduled for an April 2017 release. Retail price: ¥6,480 (around $55 USD), while some online dealers are offering slight pre-order discounts (see below).
Chun-Li’s figure is 5.7″ tall, and will include two swappable facial expressions, multiple hands, and a Hyakuretsukyaku leg effect. A mount for the Lightning Legs and a background sheet showing the Bustling Side Street stage are included.
Ryu will stand at 6″ tall. His figure also includes interchangeable hands, two faces, and Hadouken effect–also with a stand for the fireball, and a background sheet of Forgotten Waterfall stage.
Check your favorite online toy dealers to place your pre-orders; these figures are available through Lunar Toy Store (Ryu, Chun-Li) and AmiAmi (Ryu, Chun-Li), to name a couple.

While Yusuke Momochi of Evil Geniuses bowed out early in Capcom Cup, failing to make top 8, he has still had a successful year. Between streaming and his Shinobism venture of training newer players, he has had a lot to keep himself busy aside from competing.
Michael Martin of Yahoo! Esports caught up with Momochi at Capcom Cup to talk to him about some of these ventures. They also talked about his progression across multiple numbered Street Fighter titles, his feelings on gaming in general as his stream has focused on other games besides Street Fighter, and whether he will pick up Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite.
