Wladimir Klitschko announces retirement from boxing

Wladimir Klitschko has announced his retirement from boxing on Thursday, ending an histonric 21-year professional career.
Two-time heavyweight champion Klitschko, who competed in more world heavyweight title bouts than anyone, lost his final bout to IBF and WBA champion Anthony Joshua by 11th round TKO, in what was an epic battle against the undefeated Englishman in front of a crowd of 90,000 at a sold-out Wembley Stadium in London.

Morrigan’s new move in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite lets her turn all her Soul Fists into Soul Drains

As some of you may have noticed, Morrigan has gained a new move in the upcoming Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. Called “Harmonious Spear,” a move whose effects many prospective players have been wondering about. Well, wonder no more: ChromeAlchemist has posted a breakdown of the move from a recent playtest in the UK.

Harmonious Spear is a projectile of sorts, that can sit on screen before it releases a spear that, on hit, applies a debuff to Morrigan’s opponent. The projectile itself is a special case as, unlike most projectiles, it cannot be reflected by a perfect pushblock. To counter this, the projectile itself can be destroyed by any attack before the spear is triggered, or if Morrigan herself gets hit.

The interesting part about the move however is the debuff (represented by bats hovering around the affected character) that it applies. When her opponent is afflicted by it, it seems that it allows Morrigan’s Soul Fist projectiles to steal meter from her opponents, similar to her Soul Drain from the previous game. However, unlike that move, it does not seem to drain the opponent’s meter by itself. Additionally, simply tagging out will remove the debuff from the character.

Take note that with the game still in development, the properties of the debuff might still change. Whether or not these flaws remain when the game launches on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on September 19 remains to be seen.
