Memories of hype past, to fuel the hype of the future!

Evolution 2017 is going full-steam ahead, now that the games have been announced (all but the final selection, which you vote for) and registration is open. In case you missed the live stream of the Evo 2017 Reveal Show that provided this information, you can now see the Evo 2016 retrospective video that preceded these announcements below. If you were there last year, relive the hype of the biggest fighting game tournament ever; if you weren’t, here’s a glimpse at what the fuss is about–and what to expect again come July 14-16, at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Justin Wong tries out the perky kunoichi online in Street Fighter V.

Justin Wong–while hardly locked to a single character in competition–has become generally known as a Karin main in Street Fighter V. Now, shortly after joining his new sponsor Echo Fox, Wong seems to be two-timing Miss Kanzuki and trying out speedy ninja Ibuki in online Ranked matches instead. As usual, Wong’s play is entertaining to watch, as he demonstrates his increasing finesse with the kunai-slinging schoolgirl. Check out some online matches compiled in the video below.

Thanks to ralph for the tip.

One of the lesser-known glitches in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is Viewtiful Joe’s “unscaled” glitch. Discovered only last year, the glitch makes it so that Joe’s combos lose any histun and damage scaling if he blocks his Shocking Pink bomb in the middle of the combo. This means that Viewtiful Joe players are able to create practical and damaging loops and infinites–if they can pull it off.

In this new combo video, GuyCancel demonstrates some optimized, practical combos using the glitch. The best part about the combos in the video below however isn’t that they combo into the glitch, but that they start off of a high or low mix up.
