Lacid’s Meitenkun is Not to Be Slept On in The King of Fighters XIV

You may not think that a character that carries around a pillow could be a serious threat in a fighting game, but this compilation video of Korean player Lacid playing Meitinkun in The King of Fighters XIV would definitely make you think again. Lacid takes the wielder of the Sleepy Fist out for a few online matches, and the results are very impressive.

While some of the bigger combos he pulls off are eyebrow-raising, there is much to take away from the way Lacid plays Meitenkun. The way he uses HP Makura Nage (The upward pillow throw), for instance, keeps a good amount of pressure going; most of the opponents he faces in these matches spend most of the rounds in the corner.

For those interested, Lacid has hours of stream footage uploaded to his YouTube channel.

Rainbow Mika works the crowd in this upcoming bishoujo tribute.

Following closely on the heels of Kotobukiya’s Ibuki statue, we can also look forward to a bishoujo statue of Street Fighter V’s R. Mika! True to her flamboyant personality, this statue features the pro wrestler delivering one of her trademark speeches to fire up her fans in the crowd.

Sculpted by Masahiro Takahashi, this R. Mika stands about 8 inches tall (1/7 scale) and includes a specially designed display base.

The Rainbow Mika bishoujo statue from Kotobukiya is expected to ship in April 2017; she’ll cost you $79.99 USD, and pre-orders can be placed on Kotobukiya’s U.S. retail website.

Watch PR Balrog’s Progress with His Classic Main in These Diamond Ranked Matches

PR Balrog of Evil Geniuses has been a perennial favorite on the circuit. Having made multiple top 8s at Evolution in Street Fighter IV, he was expected to do well this season as well. He didn’t do as well as projected, and as such, missed out on Capcom Cup–as well as the Evolution top 8.

He is has remained undeterred, and is continuing his progress with his Balrog play. How well is he doing? Well, these ranked matches against fellow diamond ranked players, including one with top Dhalsim Arturo Sanchez, are a farily good indicator of his current abilities with the game.
