Become a Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei with this Injustice 2 Sub-Zero roundup

Though he will not be legal at Evo this weekend, that hasn’t stopped the Injustice 2 community from exploring the game’s second DLC character, Sub-Zero, following his release this past Tuesday to Ultimate and Digital Deluxe Edition owners.

First up, PND|Ketchup and Mustard have released a “Getting Started” video for the Mortal Kombat ninja, explaining how his tools have transitioned over into the world of Injustice 2, and how to best apply them in this new game.

They also provided us with a look at all of his Shaders, which contain references to most of the other MK ninjas, as well as a series of mirror matches in which they use his Cyrax and Sektor Shaders.

History Behind The Warrior has recorded all of his intros with the entire cast, including the Premiere Skins, which include several great references to Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe.

Shujinkydink brings us a basic combo guide for the cryomancer, as well as a free reset concept off of his command grab.

We have more combo guides and tips and tricks from Noble|Raptor and rooflemonger.

Cody Dickson brings us a combo video showing off what Sub can do from jump-ins and side switches, as well as a variety of freezing setups with Ice Klone and Meter Burn Ice Ball.  He also some interesting corner tech.

Finally, though it won’t matter to the competitive side of things, NGSUPERMAN shows of all of Sub-Zero’s Gear Abilities.

Following Evo, more tech for the Grandmaster will surely emerge, especially with a new balance patch on the horizon, so be on the lookout for more in the coming weeks and months. You can also check out Desk’s Sub-Zero combo video here.

VesperArcade discusses the latest leaks and rumors surrounding Abigail in Street Fighter V

With Evo now upon us and Capcom set to make several announcements, despite their canceled panel, VesperArcade takes a look at all of the latest leaks and speculation surrounding the likely third Season 2 character for Street Fighter V, Final Fight’s Abigail.

Noting that Capcom has recently changed the profile picture and cover photo for the Official Street Fighter Facebook Page–something the company did when Kolin and Ed’s reveals approached–Vesper points out that the new background looks very 80s and Final Fight-esque, with its neon lights and brick wall. He also points out the recent leak on the CFN Portal site of what appears to be a Character Data page for Abigail, with the initials, “abg,” that has since been taken down. The larger silhouette reveals that the new fighter will be absolutely massive, with a Mohawk and spiked collar, further pointing to the Canadian Mad Gear lieutenant.

Vesper also discusses his thoughts on how the towering Canadian will play, as well as the potential announcement of a Super Street Fighter V and more, below.

You can see his original speculation video about Abigail here.

A recent Tweet from Capcom France is a huge hint toward Abigail’s inclusion in Street Fighter V, showing off a stage on the New York City waterfront. It may not be Metro City, but the lighting and grimy atmosphere fits Abigail’s ’80s aesthetic. The Street Fighter Twitter has also confirmed that the next Season 2 character will be revealed during SFV Top 8 on Sunday, so expect Abigail to appear then.

Are you excited about another Mad Gear member coming into the Street Fighter universe, and do you have any hopes about Capcom’s other announcements this weekend? Give us your thoughts in the comments below.

The Ring Of Pride stage and Guile’s “Champion’s Choice” costume coming to Street Fighter V on July 25th

Hot of the heels of the announcement that Alex, Ibuki and Juri would finally be getting their long-awaited Nostalgic Costumes, alongside Ryu’s Suzaku Castle stage on July 25th, Capcom announced that Street Fighter V will be getting even more content that day with the arrival of the Ring Of Pride and Guile’s “Champion’s Choice” costume.

As part of the 2017 Capcom Pro Tour Premier Pass, the Kanzuki Family Stadium will serve as this year’s official CPT stage. A sumo stadium owned by the Kanzukis, the lavish arena is decked out with a myriad of banners, a golden statue of Karin in the back, a lively crowd of spectators looking to watch the action and–of course–the hype bear you can see enjoying the battles in the Ring Of Destiny. It remains to be seen whether its banners will change to reflect current major tournaments like the ring did.

Ring-Of-Pride-CPT-Stage

Additionally, like GGP|Kazunoko did with Necalli, Capcom Cup 2016 champion Liquid|Du “NuckleDu” Dang was allowed to create a special “Champion’s Choice” costume as a reward for his victory. Despite putting in a lot of work with R. Mika, Du will always be most closely associated with Guile. As such, he’s chosen to give the “Air Slasher” a tactical officer-inspired outfit, complete with a patch that bears his name, immortalizing him within the game.

Guile-Champion's-Choice-Costume

Guile-NuckleDu-Patch

The CPT stage will be available standalone for $9.99, with Guile’s “Champion’s Choice” threads going for $5.99. They are both included in the Capcom Pro Tour Premier Pass, alongside Ryu and Ken’s CPT costumes, “Capcom Cup 2017” and “Capcom Pro Tour 2017” exclusive titles, CPT colors for all 28 characters, and monthly exclusive Fight Money Missions, for $24.99. The Pass will be removed from the in-game shop towards the end of November, so act fast if interested! For more information on this content, as well as the CPT DLC, check out Capcom-Unity’s blog post.

Are you excited about this new content coming to SFV? Has this convinced you to pick up the Premier Pass if you were on the fence before? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Suzaku Castle and nostalgia costumes for Alex, Juri and Ibuki are coming to Street Fighter V on July 25th

Capcom are letting you travel back in time with the next stage and costume set coming to Street Fighter V. Acting as a hallowed battleground ever since its introduction in Street Fighter II, Suzaku Castle is making a comeback on July 25th, complete with breakable sign.

As for costumes, Ibuki and Alex are getting their threads from back in Street Fighter III, while Juri is getting her original outfit from Super Street Fighter IV. If you’re a real stickler for Street Fighter lore, Alex and Ibuki’s costumes are actually technically from the future, seeing as Street Fighter III takes place after Street Fighter V in the series timeline.

Juri SFV Nostalgia
Ibuki SFV Nostalgia
Alex SFV Nostalgia

You can pick up all the costumes, as well as the Suzaku Castle stage on July 25th, with each item costing $3.99.

JoshProd’s new Dreamcast port of Breakers will be available at Evo 2017 via VideoGamesNewYork

A while back we covered one of the stranger announcements to come across this site: a modern re-release of SNK’s Breakers on the Sega Dreamcast. Well, it looks like the French published port will be available on the floor Evo this year.

The game is showing up courtesy of VideoGamesNewYork, a gaming store from East Village, New York. Their site mentions they offer their customers a “personalized service, very different from the cold and aseptic chain stores.” I absolutely believe them if they are the sort to show up to Evo with a stack newly printed Dreamcast discs in 2017.

The Street Fighter V and King of Fighters XIV panels at Evo 2017 have been cancelled

One of the things that many fans look forward to at Evo every year are the many panels that fighting game developers and publishers hold at the event. However, for those looking forward to these, we’ve got a bit of bad news. Both the Street Fighter V and King of Fighters XIV panels at Evo 2017 have been cancelled.

Capcom’s official Street Fighter twitter account announced that they had to unfortunately cancel their panel. Meanwhile, earlier this week, SNK and Atlus’s King of Fighters XIV panel was quietly cancelled. Players only noticed when the listing for the panel on the schedule was removed from the official Evo schedule. In response to this, Evo head Joey “Mr Wizard” Cuellar replied that it was SNK who cancelled the panel.

However, just because the panels were cancelled doesn’t mean both companies don’t have plans at Evo. Capcom has confirmed that, despite the cancellation, they still have a number of announcements that they plan to make at Evo. In addition to this, producer Yoshinori Ono will be at their booth on both Friday, from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM and Saturday, from 1:30 to 2:30 PM.

Meanwhile, King of Fighters Producer Yasuyuki Oda and battle designer Hayato Watanabe will instead be making appearances at Arc System Works’ booth on Friday, July 14, at 4:00 PM PST.
