cutcc’s QuickNotes series tackles Tekken 7’s Miguel Caballero Rojo

Do you like poking? Do you like conditioning your opponent, then surprising them with an unusual stance option? Do you like exceptionally good movement? Do you like furious punching? If you answered yes to any of these, Tekken 7‘s Miguel may just be a character tailored for you.

cutcc‘s latest highly-condensed tutorial video in his QuickNotes series is a great info-dump of punishment, pressure, combos, and match-up specific tools. There’s a lot to know about Miguel, particularly since his unique Savage Stance opens up a whole new movelist of possibilities. These “quick notes” will get you started and make the learning process a lot easier for this interesting, powerful character.

The CFN Portal is currently holding a massive Street Fighter character popularity poll

Capcom is currently running a character popularity poll through their CFN Portal site. If you’ve ever wanted to send a message about what character keeps you coming back to the Street Fighter series, now’s your chance. And if your tastes are a little more refined, this poll likely has you covered: there’s characters ranging from the Street Fighter EX series all the way to Street Fighter 2010‘s final boss, Dr. Jose.

There’s no indication that this vote is for any larger purpose, other than fun — but given that Street Fighter V‘s Season 3 is just over the horizon and this is an official Capcom poll, it won’t hurt to let your voice be heard if you want to see your favorite character return to the spotlight, in some form or another.

You can vote in the poll here. The poll runs from today until November 5th, 2017, with results being announced January 16th, 2018.

ZeRo talks about his battle to stay on top in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and the hate he receives in doing so

Team SoloMid’s Gonzalo “ZeRo” Barrios has been one of the most dominating forces in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Having won 56 consecutive events, he has set himself up as the undisputed king of the game. That, however, has left a massive target on his back — and combined with his usual main (Diddy Kong), playstyle, and past public persona, it’s also made him potentially the most hated figure in the game.

In an interview with Kotaku, ZeRo discusses the toll on his life his Smash domination has taken, with him recently having to hire a bodyguard upon receiving death threats. He also discusses his past issues with bullying that have continued into his career, as well as his win-or-die mentality from early in his career that has helped perpetuate it.
