Certain players oftentimes get heavily associated with one character. On such player is Red Bull’s Darryl “Snake Eyez” Lewis, while he’s currently been playing Ryu, prior to this he was known for his stellar Zangief play in Street Fighter V and Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

With this in mind, it’s no surprise then that a fan is currently working to bring Snake Eyes into Street Fighter V. Modder fatihG_ is currently hard at work transforming Street Fighter V’s Zangief into Snake Eyez.

The new model, which you can see in the gallery below, is still a work in progress (you can still see some bits from Zangief, such as his arm bands). That said, aside from the oversized muscles meant to match the Zangief model, it does seem to capture Snake Eyez pretty well. In fact both Red Bull and Snake Eyez have retweeted about the mod (specifically, this in game test shot from Longshot).

To hype up the final saga of the year, 2GGaming are collaborating with smash.gg to bring another Super Smash Bros. for Wii U online qualifier to fruition. Titled “Hero to ZeRo”, this qualifier will have the winner receiving flights, hotel and entry to 2GGT: ZeRo Saga at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas, on December 16th to 18th. 2GG seems to have extended the event to be over three days instead of two days, making more time for great Smash 4 action.

Similar to previous online qualifiers like Key to the PG House or Road to Shine, this grand qualifier will be split into four mini-qualifiers, culminating in a final top 128 man bracket to decide the hero with the potential to take down TSM|ZeRo. This qualifier is open to residents of the USA, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean and like with other massive online events, players must reach the minimum Internet speed requirements to compete in this event. All of the details regarding rules and regulations are available on the smash.gg page.

Hero to ZeRo is free to sign up for, with the first qualifier starting at 12pm on November 5th. The other qualifiers will start at 2pm, 4pm and 6pm, with the final bracket starting on November 6th at 12pm.
