Joanna Jedrzejczyk Plans on Earning ‘GOAT’ Status at UFC 231, Returning to Strawweight in 2019

Justin Wong shows off how to play on a Hit Box
The Hit Box has long been considered a game-changer in terms of ease of execution for fighting games. The adoption rate hasn’t been as widespread as initially expected, with most people being daunted to learn a new control scheme when they are already acclimated to play on a controller or joystick.
Justin Wong however, has been dabbling with a Hit Box for some time right now, and shows off some of the ways he uses the controller to his advantage in his most recent video. He also takes his Hit Box online, and showcases the strength of his execution on a control scheme that is less familiar to him.

Glitch in Bethesda Support System Accidentally Gives Users Access to Other Customer Info
In the latest in a series of blunders, it appears that a glitch in the Bethesda Support System has led to customer information being leaked to other users. According to Kotaku, users were given access “to parts of Bethesda’s support system, including the ability to open and close tickets, as well as check out customer’s personal information” which includes credit card information. The issue has since been resolved according to a Bethesda representative.
Here’s a breakdown of Feng’s important changes in Tekken 7 Season 2
Feng Wei was, and is, one of the games strongest characters in Tekken 7. Though this is true both before and after the Season 2 patch, it’s true for different reasons, and it’s important to know what Feng players will look for now when you play against them.
Feng has exchanged his absurdly powerful Kenpo Step auto-guard for better okizeme and wall options, particularly in the form of the already strong DF+22. This changes Feng’s neutral approach a bit and places larger emphasis on corner pressure — as demonstrated in the latest breakdown video from That Blasted Salami.

Guilty Gear pro Ryan Hunter talks love for Under Night In-Birth, Arc Revo Tour, and more with BornFree
“There was a time in this community where no one was playing for money. You can’t say that now.”
Many reading this have likely encountered Ryan Hunter first through OptionSelectDotCom, where he was among the first “lab monsters” to break apart the mechanics behind Street Fighter IV. Ryan has gone on to demonstrate a real prowess for fighting games far beyond any particular title, having obtained top finishes at majors for Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Street Fighter X Tekken, and most notably, Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2.
In short, he’s been around. In BornFree‘s latest interview, America’s top Venom shares his views on FGC history, the push-pull between spectator and player, and why Under Night In-Birth appeals to OG fighting game players.

VesperArcade asks Capcom to pick a poison for F.A.N.G in Season 4 of Street Fighter V
F.A.N.G has been perpetually been obsessed with the number two, but has conceptually been far from that number on the tier lists since his creation. The strength of his poison was well overstated, and his damage outside of that has also been lackluster at best.
With this, VesperArcade offers several avenues that Capcom could take to not only make F.A.N.G stronger, but also more interesting to play as. He gave several possible changes to the poison mechanic, as well as several moves — including his unlinkable light attacks — to be buffed in order to make him a stronger competitive presence.
