HyperX’s Daigo Umehara is once again a Beast on the prowl. It is obvious that he’s becoming much more aggressive in his play style, which could likely be attributed to an increased level of confidence and understanding of Street Fighter V that he had before. With that, he’s finally starting to look like the Daigo we all know and love.
So when he tests out his Ryu against MOV’s Chun-Li–a Chun that was Top 8 material at both Evo 2016 and the most recent Capcom Cup–how does he fare in a first-to-four?
The Chinese cook and kung-fu master fixes up sizzling new combos and parries hotter than steaming Asian buns. A new Jam Kuradoberi combo shows impressive and creative moves with stunning, top-notch video editing to boot.
Titled “Paradise Lost,” this Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- combo video is from none other than Teresa, a long-time Jam player, while editing is done by Hero P. Among the highly damaging combos is a sequence that’s a full-stage carry against Potemkin, an amazing parry montage, and a clash segment.
While combo videos often do showcase a high level of craftsmanship, the level seen in this video is rare. It’s a must-watch even for the sake of appreciating its editing, and to witness crazy Jam combos as well, of course.
We have our answer as to the next combatant in Street Fighter V’s roster.
After teasing, speculation and leaks, Capcom has finally officially revealed that the newest fighter for SFV Season 2 is indeed Kolin, the “Phantasm of Snow and Ice”: General Story mode schemer, and fellow member to Urien in Gill’s Secret Society. According to the trailer, she’s arriving as DLC on February 28.
Based on the trailer footage, it seems the mysterious Reddit leak was pretty much right on the money about her ice attacks and play style.
Like Akuma before her, it looks like Kolin will arrive with Story, Battle, and “Nostalgia” costumes available:
The video also debuts a new track from Lupe Fiasco’s upcoming album DROGAS Light: “It’s Not Design” feat. Salim.

PlayNC has put out a brand new Korean trailer for Lineage M. Lineage M is a mobile version of the original game that features world bosses, grind, transformation and much more.
Johnny, the flagship swashbuckler from the Jellyfish Pirates, is one of the more stylish and flashy characters in Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-. While he was known as the “touch of death” character before the Evolution 2016 patch, he can still be a formidable opponent in the hands of advanced players, whether they’re Japanese or American.
KidViper recently streamed a couple of sets against an American Sol and Raven, Nakkiel and Koogy. The long sets are good to study the match-up and detail, and KidViper commentates during them.
For a Japanese perspective on the character, there’s none better to watch than Karinchu and Omito. Below, Omito has a long set against a variety of some of the finest in the land, like Roi, Fumo, 310, and more. As part of the Tenkaichi Budokai league, Karinchu fought Kazuki’s Dizzy. He also has another recent set against Nage, which is always a pleasure to watch.
The road to success is paved with ups and downs. After successfully proving his skill at East Coast tournaments Pound 3 and Revival of Melee 1, Mango had silenced any naysayers who would not rate him as one of the best American Super Smash Bros. Melee players out there. Going into Revival of Melee 2, the Kid was noticeably confident, even turning up to the event hung over.
But this was Mango, the man of the moment. Surely no one could take him out even when hung over, right? Enter Kage the Warrior, a Canadian Ganondorf main who clearly did not seem to agree. Defeating Mango in Winners side, the two then met again in Losers, where Mango was forced to bring out his feared Jigglypuff to take down this King of Evil. Kage would win that set, but it would sow the seed for a future clash at Revival of Melee 3. Mango would then pick Ganon’s eternal rival and low tier character Link, in an attempt to banish Kage’s Ganondorf in the most disrespectful way possible.
Hearing from the perspective of then East Coast denizen Scar and Kage himself, Last Stock Legends recount the story of one of the biggest shockers during Melee’s era of struggle.
Birdie’s Bull Revenger is a good way to close the gap when facing zoners in Street Fighter V, but it is by no means a move free of consequence. Knowing how and when to execute it is essential to staying in range where the real damage can be done.
In this video, NurseLee gives us five meaty Bull Revenger setups that can help you step up your Birdie game. It is noted at the beginning of the video that opponents should either delay their wakeup or quick rise to combat the command throw, and he covers both sides of the 50/50 split.
Complete with on-screen frame data and inputs, viewers should be able to easily break down the setups in training mode and start practicing them right away.
While there’s been a lot of news about Injustice 2 as of late, there’s still one question on the mind of most folks who haven’t been able to get into the game’s online beta: how does it play? Now those folks can see for themselves, thanks to a number of top players who have been sharing recordings of their matches on the internet.
The videos below feature matches with players such as Echo Fox’s SonicFox, ForeverKing, Dragon, A Foxy Grampa, REO, HoneyBee, Pig of the Hut, and more. Along the way they give us a glimpse of some of the tactics that players have developed for the beta. While the latter will likely change as NetherRealm Studios further fine-tunes the game, it still gives us a glimpse of the direction that Injustice 2’s metagame will take.
First up, SonicFox and ForeverKing duke it out in a couple of matches with the former using two different characters in each video.
Next up, Pig of the Hut and Dragon engage in a long set while actually talking about the game itself.
The Supergirl dominance continues as A Foxy Grampa takes her out against Semiij’s Batman.
REO also uses Supergirl, alongside Atrocitus as he goes up against Slayer’s Superman.
That said, he also picks Blue Beetle in another set against Slayer.
And finally, another Supergirl vs Superman match, as HoneyBee takes on Skeezer.
