theScore Esports Talks About Why Older Players are Excelling at Street Fighter V

While the young guns are turning up in droves to take major events–with players like Phenom, John Takeuchi, and NuckleDu leading the charge–there is yet another demographic that is doing exceptionally well in Street Fighter V. That group is the older players who have been around the scene for decades, proving that age is only a number when factoring into how competitive one can be in the game.

Why is this so true? Daigo Umehara, one of the old guard who is showing his dominance in Capcom’s newest title, believes the answer lies in the similarities to Street Fighter II, and top older players’ adoption of title due to these situations. In an article from theScore, Shinya Onuki concurs, stating, “SFV is very close to Street Fighter II, and the movement and combat systems are very close to that game as well, so my skills are still applicable.”

Hunting for the Perfect Gaming Router? XusesGB Thinks He’s Found It

If you’re a serious player of any competitive game–especially fighting games–you know how important network latency is while playing. If anything goes wrong in the connection, you can find yourself facing input lag, rollback, teleports and the like.

Buying a gaming router helps to mitigate these issues, but not all routers even in this category are created equal. So which one should you get? XusesGB believes he has found an answer to this question.

Recently, he received an R1 model gaming router from NetDuma that he was asked to review, and he held a highly favorable opinion of the equipment. In his review video, he showcases some of the router’s impressive features, such as the ability to filter connections via distance from you and ping before you even connect to your opponent. You can also block players from connecting to you from within that same radius if they still have poor connections, or even if they use cheats such as lag switches or continually disconnect.

While more research needs to be done into this router, this looks impressive, and could be the exact router you’re looking for.
