“The Kid is Ridiculous”: Meet MK Leo, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Prodigy

When Mr. R went to Mexico in July 2015 for Smash Factor 4, everyone was expecting the best Sheik in the world–who had just come second to ZeRo at Evo–to win the tournament without much difficulty.

Instead, everyone watched in awe as MK Leo, a 14 year-old Meta Knight player, systematically dismantled one of the best players in the world–with a character that no one thought was much good.

One year on, MK Leo is often bandied about as the sleeping giant of Mexico; unable to travel to the U.S.A. due to visa problems, his only opportunities to battle against the best in the world since his breakout appearance have been GOML and Smash Factor 5–the latter giving us an extra snapshot into the young man himself.

Rush Hour Smash have put together a short documentary on the Mr. R slayer from their time in Mexico: check it out below, to learn more about one of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U’s youngest top players.

Rock Out with ChocoBlanka’s Band “Wind God Fist” as They Perform Guile’s Street Fighter Theme

Evil Geniuses’ Yuko “ChocoBlanka” Momochi is well-known for her Street Fighter play and her contributions to YouTube’s Momochi & ChocoBlanka TV; but you may not have known that she also has a rock band called Wind God Fist (with Choco), and here they are providing an excellent performance of that popular Street Fighter theme that happens to go with everything:

Apparently, the band is familiar with their source of inspiration (although Tekken seems to be their preference, as indicated by the band name).
