BornFree talks about his personal top ten most-wanted changes to a potential Super Street Fighter V

BornFree’s own SFV wish list, by Q&A request!

BornFree has become well-known for his excellent video interviews of players and personalities throughout the fighting game community. He’s talked to a lot of top players, and often — so it’s safe to say he’s got a pretty good idea of what high-level competitors are happy about — and not happy about — in their games of choice!

With rumors persisting about an upgrade to Street Fighter V on the horizon in the form of “Super Street Fighter V” (or possibly Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition?), BornFree speaks up as to what his own wish list is for SSFV — if it happens. His picks for areas that need improvement include loading times, matchmaking/netcode, in-game player-to-player communication, character balancing, and a number of aspects where the game can spruce up its overall presentation — as well as requesting the return of the King of Muay Thai! Watch the video below for his whole list, and why each is important to the players.

Time stamps for each point can be found in the video description.

Kai Kennedy, DaPurpleSharpie, and Mike Zaimont discuss what the future of the Skullgirls community looks like

What’s on the horizon for Skullgirls fans?

Now that Skullgirls has broken over a million copies sold on Steam, what’s in store for the game? The title is described as “finished” — no additional content or patches from Lab Zero are expected for 2nd Encore. What’s next, and what’s left?

In the video below, voice actor Kai Kennedy discusses what is still going on in the Skullgirls community: while Skullgirls 2nd Encore won’t be updated again, it still has a very active and dedicated community of devoted fans, players, and competitors — so if you still want to get into the game in its “twilight years,” there’s no reason not to. Kennedy also gets some information from DaPurpleSharpie about the ongoing Skullgirls Tour, some words from the Skullgirls Mobile developer Hidden Variable about future content and support for the mobile game, and lastly some clarification from developer Mike Zaimont about what it would take to see a full “Skullgirls 2” sequel.

Thanks to Sheila for the tip.

theScore retraces the story of Justin Wong’s most epic comeback against IFC Yipes at Evo 2007

When most people think of Justin Wong and iconic moments, they look back on his infamous moment at Evo 2004, where Daigo Umehara full-parried Chun-Li’s Super Art and comboed into Justin’s demise. But another iconic moment that Justin is known for is an epic comeback with just Cyclops in Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

theScore chronicles this moment in their most recent video on the FGC. They detail Wong’s East Coast rivalry with IFC Yipes, who was one of the few players at the time who could stand toe-to-toe with the King of Marvel. Showing several instances where Yipes had the upper hand and didn’t fully capitalize, they show exactly how Justin’s patience and understanding of the game led to his victory that came against all odds.
