Street Fighter IV: Champion Edition coming to iOS this summer

It has been announced that Street Fighter IV: Champion Edition, an update to the Street Fighter IV iOS game released back in 2010, will be coming to the iOS App Store this summer. The update includes graphic improvements, updated support for larger mobile devices, and adds Dudley, Ibuki, and Poison to the game’s list of playable fighters.

The original Street Fighter IV mobile game had a four-button layout, and had all of the basic functions of a Street Fighter game. There was also an option to play with other owners of the portable title via Wi-Fi. There is no indication of the motive behind this sudden update to an iOS title that has seemingly had no attention in recent years, but the reaction from the mobile game market could provide some insight as we near its release.

A specific release date has not been provided for Street Fighter IV: Champion Edition, but if you are interested, there is a registration list where you can sign up to be notified when the game is available.

Learn your back dash ranges in Injustice 2 with this handy video guide

Back dashes are an important tool in Injustice 2. Their fast start up combined with their invincibility means that they’re a good way to get out of pressure in the game. That said, not all backdashes are created equal, and some move characters back further than others.

To help players understand different characters’s back dashes, Trauma_and_pain has put together this useful video guide that demonstrates their ranges. Beyond just showing each character’s back dash, the video below uses a ruler that measures ranges down to individual pixels to show just how much a character moves during their dash.
