Leffen Answers Fan Questions on Ask TSM

Leffen is one of Team SoloMid’s biggest names within the FGC, and is definitely one of their top Super Smash Bros. Melee players. So he was a natural fit for this edition of Ask TSM, where he sat down in their studio to answer questions from his fans.

It was an interesting Q&A; he spoke about his belief that Pichu being the best lower tier character in the game, explaining his good frame data and dash dancing, as well as his similar moveset to top tier Pikachu. He also talks about the fact that he finds it interesting that everyone has a more distinctive style of play in Melee, making every player unique across their chosen characters.

New Glimpses of Ultra Street Fighter 2 Reveal Color Edit Mode

Capcom is continuing to give us updates on their Nintendo Switch-exclusive title Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers. We have already seen previews of their first person mode, but it appears that that is not the only casual trapping that Capcom is releasing with the title.

Newly revealed is a color edit mode, which we are now seeing glimpses of on Twitter. This will allow players to change the color of not only their character’s costume in the game, but also their skin and hair color as well.

Color editing has long been a hobby of many players, with the most prominent usage of this in the community being custom mixes of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on Dreamcast–something done via third party programs using unauthorized burned copies of the game. This feature was also released officially in Street Fighter X Tekken, with a mixed response.

There is currently no word of any further balance updates.
