Bringing a game to life requires the combined effort of many different types of artists. If you’re interested in watching some of that art come to be, celldweller and Atlas Plug have released another inside look at the creation of a Killer Instinct Season 3 character theme, this time for Mira.

Since Mira is an entirely new character, they had the freedom to turn her theme into whatever they saw fit, rather than trying to align it with some past iteration in a previous game. This freedom, in conjunction with some input regarding Mira’s backstory, resulted in the combination of pipe organs, heavy bass, a full orchestra, and more that help bring this new character to life.

Getting ready for battle involves a good deal of preparation. You need to brush up on combos, punishes, setups, and, of course, you have to decide what to wear. Guile landed last night, and the folks at SFV Mods have already taken the time to compile a video showcasing all of the returning fighter’s duds to make that final–and quite important–step a bit easier on those who’ve taken to slinging Sonic Booms.

In spite of what their YouTube channels name suggests, you’ll see no mods used in this footage; every article of clothing presented exists within the game’s current files. So if you’re looking to select the most eye-catching outfit for your next session of all-American beatdowns, be sure to check out the video below.

Last week, we saw some amazing Street Fighter V play at the (now) annual Red Bull Kumite. This, of course, is partly because the event brought together some of the strongest players on the planet.

With so many great players, this was a chance to get to know some of them better, and also to discuss their thoughts on many aspects of Street Fighter V. The folks at Looping Show Game did exactly that, speaking to RZR|Infiltration, Tokido, and Red Bull’s Snake Eyez at the event.

You can check out the interviews below.

Just prior to Pokkén Tournament’s console release, a Japanese player by the name of tonosama666 compiled a video filled with information on many of the unsafe or easily avoidable attacks in the game. Earlier this week, a translated version of the video made its way on to YouTube for English speaking audiences to enjoy.

The video does an excellent job pointing out where unsafe situations occur, and offers a nice selection of possible punishes. Though it is based on the Arcade version of the game, nearly all of these situations still exist as presented in the video.

If you’re looking only to pick up a few of these tips at a time, the video ranks each move by threat level, so you can choose which ones should be learned first.
