Backers were excited about the Wooting One: a truly innovative mechanical gaming keyboard with the potential to change how PC games are played.

Zeku, the Ever-Changing Ninja comes to Street Fighter V on October 24th

In a reveal nobody saw coming, the final character for Season 2 of Street Fighter V is indeed Zeku, the Ever-Changing Ninja. While he may look old, this grandmaster and Guy’s former sensei is still in control of his ninja reflexes, flipping all over the screen to mix up his opponent.

He’s also got great range on some of his kick specials, leaving behind a trail of ink which can tag the opponent. Similar to Akuma’s Demon Flip, Zeku also has a high flying flip move, which can lead into a command grab or a overhead kick in its EX version.

Zeku’s V-Trigger looks to greatly increase his mobility, giving him access to a M. Bison-esque teleport dash. By using a certain special, Zeku teleports away and then reappears from the top of the screen, changing outfits and seemingly ages in the process. If you are using Zeku’s base costume, his outfit change will have him looking like another famous Capcom ninja — Strider Hiryu. When in his Strider stance, Zeku looks to get a brand new set of specials, including a rekka chain which appears similar to Karin’s Guren-Ken.

This gentleman ninja comes with two sets of Battle, Story and Premium costumes — one set for his older form and another for his younger self. Expect a full breakdown of Zeku’s specials, V-Skill and V-Trigger from Capcom Unity in the coming days, and you’ll be able to get your hands on this shape-shifting shinobi on October 24th.

CLG teases their new Melee documentary, following SFAT at The Big House 7

We’ve had various documentaries on the Gods and the Godslayer — it’s time for a documentary on one of Melee’s demi-gods. Ahead of its release in next week, esports organization CLG have released a trailer for their mini-doc, following top NorCal Fox and MIOM rank eight SFAT at The Big House 7.

As well as tailing him as he competes in both Melee singles and doubles, this documentary has SFAT talking to camera, discussing his thoughts on the idea of the Melee gods. He’s personally not a fan, as the title god builds up this image of these players being unbeatable beings — something that SFAT has himself proved to be wrong, having defeated three of the gods during his Melee career.

The documentary titled “SFAT – The Non Believer” will be available to watch via the CLG YouTube channel on Tuesday October 17th.

Frank West embraces the walking dead, Ultron, Jedah and Morrigan get optimized and Dormmamu’s thorns get pruned in this Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite roundup

Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite tech continues to pour out like a waterfall, so it’s in everyone’s best interests for us to break down the best of the best, and throw them into this handy roundup for you to grab tech from. There’s a lot of characters with new tech today, so be prepared to take a lot of notes.

Firstly, we have some new loops for Frank West. In these first two videos, we see zombie loops with Ultron that work in the corner and midscreen and avoid the use of the tripod.

In the third video, we swap out Ultron for Captain Marvel, but see the return of the tripod into the zombie loop mix.

Next, we have some sick space stone setups with Thanos that in a matter of two incorrect guesses could cost people a character.

Next up, we have a series of videos from Rooflemonger, who shows off the combo potential of Haggar, Morrigan, and Ultron, while also going over the basics of each character in great detail.

Next up, Xero18 shows off some more Spider-Man tech. This one deals with getting an additional OTG off of Maximum Spider, which acts as an OTG itself. By tagging in your partner and positioning them midscreen, you can OTG and extend your combo.

Next up, we have some heavily stylish and optimized combos for Jedah. These definitely show off the capabilities of the character in solo mode.

Did someone say they want more Lightning Loops? Zero decided 7 years of them wasn’t enough, and Captain Marvel agrees, as she has a solid setup for the loop handy.

Anyone that has watched Filipino Champ play is well aware of how dangerous Dormammu’s rose garden is. This move could be one of the biggest reasons he got his win at SCR, but like all great tech, we learn how to deal with it. Using invincible moves alongside pushblocks, it becomes pretty easy to punish a blocked rose garden.

To complement that, here’s a compilation of all the invincible moves in the game.

With the discovering of the Hit Stun Decay glitch, people are working night and day to optimize it. Here’s a pretty disgusting space stone loop using the HSD glitch, starring Thanos and X and directed by none other than desk.

Finally James Chen takes the time to show newcomers how to build and execute combos in this edition of Execution Corner.

Tune back in for more crazy Marvel tech. May your lab time be fruitful!
