VesperArcade discusses the general changes to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition in the most recent patch

Everyone was taken aback when Capcom announced at NorCal Regionals that a new patch was being released for Street Fighter V this week. Thankfully, we already have the balance changes listed, and now know what we can expect to find when we download this patch.

VesperArcade goes over the patch notes on the general mechanics side of the changes, and considers what Capcom’s direction is. He discusses how it appears that they want to see people teching throws more, but also eliminated any possible throw tech option selects. He also touches briefly on the character-specific changes, and shows some confusion in Capcom’s intentions with their nerfs and buffs this time around.

Eraser Head and Stain revealed for My Hero Academia: One’s Justice

Another set of characters have been revealed for upcoming arena fighter My Hero Academia: One’s Justice. Last week’s Shonen Jump revealed that Shota Aizawa, a.k.a. “Eraser Head”, and the “Hero Killer” Stain would be joining the game’s cast.

True to his name, Eraser Head can use his “Erasure” quirk to cancel out the quirks of his opponents. On top of this, he can use his scarf to as a weapon to hold his opponents down. He uses these to force his opponents into close range combat where he can deploy a number of counter moves on them.

Stain, on the other hand, uses his “Bloodcurdle” quirk to paralyze opponents. He combines this with fast movement as well as long range attacks with his knives to pressure his opponent.
