Infiltration answers questions from his fans on Street Fighter V, Evo Japan, and more in this YouTube video

Infiltration has gone from a 2017 that saw him struggle, to being instantly catapulted back to the upper echelons of players early in 2018 with his win at Evo Japan 2018. But with the changes he has experienced, he has remained the same humble and witty guy that always drew fans to him from the start.

He recently put out the call to Twitter for his fans to ask him questions, that he would later answer in a YouTube video interview — and has just recently uploaded his answers to those questions. In the interview, he talks about his feelings about Evo Japan and Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. He also explained his change in characters against John Takeuchi during the finals of Evo Japan, citing that he felt more confident with Juri than Menat, despite both having disadvantageous match-ups against Rashid. He also expounds why he said he wasn’t “back” after winning Evo Japan, and declared his wish to do well this year — including winning Evo 2018 and Capcom Cup.

Worlds collide: It’s Leffen vs. SonicFox in these Dragon Ball FighterZ online matches

After their minor misunderstanding over Leffen’s comments on his stream, Echo Fox’s SonicFox and TSM’s Leffen finally met in ranked for some high-level Dragon Ball FighterZ sets!

SonicFox, having a long-established pedigree in the FGC for NRS games, Skullgirls, and (as of late) MvC:I, has already jumped out in front as one of the most dominating players in DBFZ. The surprise (to most) is how strong Leffen is at the game. While Super Smash Bros. and traditional fighters may seem like different universes, make no mistake that the years of technical practice are translating for Leffen. This, coupled with the fact that Leffen has also been playing many traditional fighters along with his Smash practice over the years, and his success in this game is really no surprise at all. Check out the sets below!

New Toaru Majutsu no Virtual-ON trailer introduces Lessar and RVR-42/VSL Cypher

Just a couple of days from its release date in Japan, Sega has dropped a new trailer for their crossover mecha fighter Toaru Majutsu no Virtual-ON. This new trailer introduces Lessar and the RVR-42/VSL Cypher virtuaroid.

Originally an opponent of main protagonist Touma, the sultry seductress Lessar eventually becomes a valued ally, helping him in his dealings with magic. The RVR-42/VSL Cyper, on the other hand, is an evolution of the original Cyper — the second-generation descendant of the Viper II line from the original Virtual-ON. The VSL version in this game retains the original’s jet fighter transformation that it can use to attack opponents.

Toaru Majutsu no Virtual-ON launches on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in Japan on February 15. For interested players, a demo is currently available for download on the PlayStation Network.

Chris Tatarian is calling all Ken mains to #StopPlayingKen in Street Fighter V

In a recent multi-post Twitter series, longtime Ken main Chris Tatarian has called the Ken community to take new action on behalf of Ken’s gameplay issues in Street Fighter V. After having tweeted at and emailed Capcom multiple times over the past year about various Ken inconsistencies, Chris is saying enough is enough.

This call is stemming from a larger range of frustrations the Ken community at large has been sharing, on Twitter primarily. Most complaints involve serious inconsistencies with Ken’s combos (BnB’s dropping on counter hit, juggles not connecting seemingly at random, moves not linking that normally do, etc.) and the lack of resolve on Capcom’s part to make Ken a “fully-functioning” character. At this point — after having his DM’s filled with Ken mains across the world begging Chris to speak out definitively — Chris is calling for an outright protest of the character. Using the hashtags #StopPlayingKen and #FixKensInconsistencies, players are starting to join the fray.
