Ricki Ortiz talks to theScore esports about Street Fighter V Season 2 and ELEAGUE

EG|Ricki Ortiz finished off last season of the Capcom Pro Tour quite well: having finished 2nd in Capcom Cup 2016, she indeed made herself a lock for ELEAGUE, and beyond.

In this interview with theScore, Ortiz talked with them about her desire to keep playing Chun-Li, but admits that she is learning Cammy to cover Chun-Li’s bad matchups. She discusses her opportunity to be on ELEAGUE, stating that the televised tournament “will only make [Street Fighter V] more successful.” She also talks about Chun-Li in Season 2–that if she had just one of the tools she had in Season 1, like better anti-airing or instant air lightning legs–that she would be a perfect character.

Ortiz also calls for nerfs to Urien, and describes Rashid as a “secret top tier.” Read the full interview over at theScore esports.

For those who are looking to add Jill to their teams, CorkyJay has put up a new video showing off practical ways that Jill can be used as a “damage engine” in a team. This involves both straight up combo damage with Jill on point, as well as proper use of her assists to extend combos with other characters.

Check out the video below, and see if you can learn a thing or two from it.
