Nash masters cyber-ninjutsu in this Genji mod for Street Fighter V

Blizzard’s Overwatch is among the most popular sources of inspiration for character mods for Street Fighter V on PC. This time, we’re seeing Nash as he would be if resurrected by the global security force, instead of the Illuminati: this recent mod from THEJAMK has transformed Nash into the cyborg ninja Genji. The mod could only get more accurate if he were to take the sword from his back during his critical art — but that’s simply nitpicking.

The mod has since been opened to the public after reaching its Patreon goal, and can now be downloaded for free at its Patreon page. Video showcasing this mod can also be seen below.

New Sin combos in Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 show off stylish air confirms

It’s time for a spotlight on everyone’s favorite man-child, Sin Kiske. The ever-growing boy received some interesting fine-tuning in REV 2; the changes are subtle but they actually lead to a whole new array of combos. For instnace, jK has gained new properties, while jD knocks down. There’s also brand-new combos with air Beak Driver.

A recent Japanese video explores what’s new for Sin in REV 2. The majority covers confirms from jD, Sin’s main overhead attack. There’s new combo options on heavy characters, and Sin still has some form of an air-dash loop in certain situations. This is an excellent tutorial that also shows how to do new corner combos with air Beak Driver into knockdown. These combos probably aren’t as “basic” as the title suggests, but there are some easier ones.

Prefer the speedy assassin Millia instead? Check out our Millia REV 2 combo compilation.

On a prior Friday Night Fan Art, we showed off what Chrissy-Tee was doing with the character models from The King of Fighters XIV; fingerguns Kula certainly took off, so another meme-worthy follow-up was warranted. Adorable “Double Peace” Kula is already making the rounds.
