ARMS user icons added in latest Nintendo Switch system update

For fans of ARMS on the Switch, the latest system update for Nintendo’s hybrid system offers new ways to show support for the game.

Among the many new features included in the version 5.0.0 system update for Nintendo’s Switch, are a bunch of new user icons that ARMS fans can use. Specifically, of the 24 new user icons added in the update, 15 are for ARMS, representing the 15 playable characters in the game (the rest are Kirby icons, in case you were wondering).

Of course, these new user icons are just a small part of the changes added to version 5.0.0: other changes include new social media integration as well as changes to how the Switch handles downloads of purchased games. You can check these out in the official change list.

Jam Pro League VODs show off the strength of Brazil’s Street Fighter V scene

JAM Festival 2018 is a ranking event in Brazil for the Capcom Pro Tour. It will be the last chance for Latin American Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition players to score CPT points. Considering this is a country that’s responsible for strong players like Keoma, DidimoKOF, Brolynho, and more, you can expect that JAM Festival 2018 will be the grounds for many difficult, exciting battles.

For a glimpse into the Brazilian scene, Brazil tournament organizer Mwisk has graciously put together English post-match commentary of JAM Pro League #1‘s finals. This league is a monthly event for Brazilian players, and while you can catch it live (and in Portuguese) at their Twitch page, you can see the finals below — with Mwisk’s English commentary — right now with this playlist.
