Mikado Arcade’s Street Fighter Carnival 11 continues with Windjammers, Street Fighter EX2 Plus

Street Fighter Carnival 11 is Mikado Arcade’s currently-ongoing, month-long, multi-game tournament series for a wide variety of classic (and sometimes, obscure) arcade titles. This series is well under way, so start from the beginning if you want to catch up!

We have two new VODs for you:

First is Windjammers, the FGC’s favorite sports game. Mikado and France used to be the best places to see high-level Windjammers action in the world — but we now live in the era where everything can potentially have a world league.

Next up is Street Fighter EX2 Plus. I had a feeling, when Mikado ran EX2 Plus earlier in SFC11, that this game selection was at least partially influenced by this week’s release of Fighting EX Layer. Now that they are running it again, and they’ve run Fighting Layer this week, the message couldn’t be any more clear: ARIKA fans, get hype.

You can follow the action of SFC11 by subscribing to Mikado’s official YouTube channel. For the night owls in the US, you can even try to catch them when they livestream.

Avoid getting run over by Abigail with Frame Advantage’s latest “The Lab” episode for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

“That’s crazy. I think he might have the most anti-air options for a grappler…”

UM|Tyrant and Method|Packz are back with another episode of Frame Advantage‘s “The Lab”. This time: Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition‘s Abigail, and his surprisingly versatile options (for a grappler).

He’s big, he’s powerful, and he’s got knowledge checks for days. Check out FADV’s study session above to learn the ins-and-outs of Abigail, how to approach him, and what setups you’ll likely see — so that you don’t get run over.

Lord of the Rings Online – Next Update to Include New Festival Instances & the Return of an Old, Yet Reworked, Foe

The patch notes for Update 22.3 have been posted on the Lord of the Rings Online forum. This time, players can look forward to new festival instances to celebrate the summer season. The Perfect Picnic allows players from level 10-115 to take part in either a solo instance all the way up to a raid instance to win some awesome new rewards. In Boss from the Vaults, Thrang makes a return in a newly overhauled form to challenge parties of six with new rewards as well.
