There will be no shortage of excitement at the upcoming Tournament of Legends III at Canada Cup 2018 later this month — Super Street Fighter II Turbo fans are in for a real treat. After revealing their fifth Japanese invite to the event to be E. Honda grandmaster Shogatsu, Super Turbo Revival has also revealed that a sixth and final invite will be none other than Daigo “The Beast” Umehara.
From Super Turbo Revival:
Shogatsu is a multiple-time Gian Recital and Kakerugo Champion and also won the Canada Cup 3on3 tournament last year. He has also placed highly in a number of tournaments, including X-MANIA and Defend the North!
Daigo Umehara needs no introduction, as he is considered one of, if not the best Street Fighter players of all time! Daigo is a former Tougeki champion, a two-time former Evo Super Turbo champion and has won a number of majors across the US. He competed and finished fourth in the memorable TOURNAMENT OF LEGENDS I at Evolution 2012, falling to AfroLegends. He also competed in X-MANIA USA at Evolution 2014, teaming up with Nuki and Tokido in a great and entertaining match against Mike Watson, John Choi, and Alex Valle.
Check out the listing below for the invites and qualifiers to date — including many other spectacular players such as Mattsun, Nuki, Killer Miller, and the latest qualifier from The Fall Classic, Zoolander!
The Tournament of Legends III will take place at Canada Cup 2018 in Toronto on October 26-28. There is one qualifying event remaining before Canada Cup: East Coast Throwdown. There will also be six Last Chance Qualifier spots at Canada Cup itself, so practice up and head over to Toronto this month if you want to go up against the world’s best Super Turbo competitors!

Input lag is one of the things that can ruin the experience of any fighting game, and as such it’s something that players look out for. Street Fighter V infamously had input lag issues early in its life, before Capcom eventually fixed the issue… sort of. Now, it seems that Capcom will be further addressing input latency in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition.
In a recent tweet, the official Street Fighter twitter account announced that they would “improve the speed of which inputs are registered” in an update set to drop on October 23.
We’re aware of your concerns regarding inputs and will improve the speed at which inputs are registered in the update coming on 10/23.
We’ll be sure to update you on future improvements for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. Thank you for your continued support!

This announcement is interesting considering that the game, as previously mentioned, had already received a patch that lowered its input delay a few years back. This, however, was done without the update that Epic released last year for Unreal Engine 4 (which powers Street Fighter V) that lowered the baseline input delay of the engine in general. [This was utilized by Bandai Namco to drop the input delay in Tekken 7 on PlayStation 4. – Editor]
Could this mean that Capcom is has finally upgraded the build of Unreal Engine 4 that Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is using to the versions with the lowered delay? Or have they found other ways to speed up the games inputs? We’ll find out on October 23, when the update drops.
