Top Brazilian Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition play is on display in these Jam Pro League #2 VODs

JAM Festival 2018 is a ranking event in Brazil for the Capcom Pro Tour, and it will be the last chance for Latin American Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition players to score CPT points. Considering this is a country that’s responsible for strong players like Keoma, DidimoKOF, Brolynho, and more, you can expect that JAM Festival 2018 will be the site of many difficult, exciting battles.

As you may remember from last month, the same scene that’ll be out in full force at Jam Festival 2018 is grinding away in their own JAM Pro League. Just like before, Brazilian tournament organizer Mwisk has graciously put together English post-match commentary of JAM Pro League #2‘s finals, which you can check out in the playlist below.

This league is a monthly event for Brazilian players, and you can catch the next event live (and in Portuguese) at their Twitch page on May 12th.

See the ultimate fused Saiyan’s strength with IKevinX’s references for SSGSS Vegito’s Dragon Ball FighterZ trailer

The pure-blooded Saiyan Fusion with the power of a god takes the stage!

Following his recent coverage of the Dragon Ball FighterZ reveal trailer references for Fused Zamasu, YouTuber IKevinX is already back to cover the anime and manga references of Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegito, who’s trailer was leaked earlier today.

Drawing heavily on his two canonical battles with Fused Zamasu and Super Buu, we can see that the fused Saiyan has retained several of his signature melee attacks, as well as his abilities The Big Bang Flash, Spirit Stab, and (what appears to be) his Savage Counter. The Savage Strike, Sprit Excalibur from Dragon Ball Heroes and, of course, the Final Kamehameha, appear to be his Super Special Attacks. You can see the full video below, as well as links to IKevinX’s previous work.

SSGSS Vegito, like all other DLC characters, can be purchased for $4.99 individually.  He is also the fourth character in the FighterZ Pass, which includes Bardock, Broly, Fused Zamasu and four other yet-to-be-revealed characters, for $34.99. He will release will his own Z-Stamp, Lobby Avatar and color set. No release date for him has been confirmed, but he will likely launch alongside Fused Zamasu.

BoxeR-King teaches how to elminate your opponent’s options with Sidestep Duck in Tekken 7

Let me see you one, two step…

Lately, Tekken Youtuber BoxeR-King has been giving us a rundown on all things sidestep related. Recently, he covered how to shut down your opponent’s options with a sidestep guard — but this is not appropriate for every situation.

Sometimes you’ll want to Sidestep Duck instead. Take the example of Steve’s Peekaboo stance — you might think you have to respect a mix-up after you get hit by PAB d+1 because of its frame advantage, but the truth is that a proper sidestep gets you away from the majority of his options.

NurseLee showcases Ryu’s Jodan Nirengeki buff in the Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition’s “Season 3.5” balance update

“This is the path of my destiny!”

As part of the latest round of mid-season balance changes to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, Ryu received a buff in the form of changes to his Jodan Nirengeki target combo.

In this new video from NurseLee — who already made a video for the move midway through the last season — we get to see just how much the move has been buffed. The gist of things seems to be that Ryu gets better options out of the move, depending on the situation. This includes more combos with Crush Counter, as well as the ability to reset mid-screen from the same.

Check out the video below.

More Nintendo Switch Online details to be revealed next month

The curtain will rise slightly over Nintendo’s paid online service, more than a year after console’s launch.

With the growing number of fighting games — both modern and classic — making their way to Nintendo’s Switch, we’ve been following the news regarding the platform’s planned online service, titled Nintendo Switch Online. As part of the company’s latest financial results briefing, outgoing president Tatsumi Kimishima mentioned that the company will reveal more about Nintendo Switch Online this coming May, via a website update.

While most of the bigger titles have skipped the system, the Switch has gained a number of fighting games during its first year. This includes a number of remastered classics and arcade ports from companies like Capcom and SNK. This year, the system will see more than a few major releases in the form of SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle and Super Smash Bros., on top of further classics like Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R.  Whether or not they’ll take advantage of Nintendo Switch Online when it launches will surely come to light soon.

Stay tuned for further details on Nintendo Switch Online and how it will affect your Nintendo Switch here at SRK and on Nintendo’s official website.
