Check out Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st]’s Wagner in Swillo’s day one combo video

While the rest of the world has to wait for the release of Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st] for later this year, those that live in Japan (or are just willing to create Japanese accounts) are able to buy and play this brand new Arc System Works release right now. Developed by French Bread and Ecole Software (also the creators of Melty Blood, which UNIL is largely a successor of), UNIL[st] is the most recent game you can get from ArcSys to prepare you for BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, a game that definitely won the crowd of Evo 2017 over when revealed.

Multi-game FGC pros and YouTuber Swillo & BimmyQuestion got their hands on the game and showed off some early combos for one of the new characters, the flaming sword-wielding Wagner. Those of you that are waiting patiently for late 2017 should take notes!

ZOWIE|GamerBee interviewed by Bizarro Mike in his new show, “Crush Groove”

Michael “Bizarro Mike” Martin, whom you may know as a former face of the now-defunct Yahoo! Esports, has started a new interview show on YouTube called “Crush Groove.” The show’s first guest is one of the FGC’s most notable stars of the Street Fighter IV era: ZOWIE’s Street Fighter pro Bruce “GamerBee” Hsiang.

Shot at Evo 2017, the conversational and relaxed format works well for GamerBee’s energetic personality. The two talk a wide range of topics over the 30-minute interview: the transition from SFIV to SFV, motivation, growing communities, marriage, and Ranma 1/2.

Episode 3 of Red Bull eSports’ “Mind Games” series explores Snake Eyez vs. Wolfkrone at Final Round 20

Red Bull eSports continues its documentary series on the life of RB.CYB BST|Darryl “Snake Eyez” Lewis, and his performance during Final Round 20. In this episode, he talks about emotion, and how it relates to tournament play.

Which is an appropriate subject, given that Snake Eyez’s next opponent would be the loser of the Wolfkrone vs. K-Brad match. Snake Eyez may have thought his eventual opponent, Wolfkrone, would be rattled after one of the FGC’s most famous blowups. As Snake Eyez learns however, emotions can have unusual impacts on a match.
