If there’s one player who was heavily associated with Ibuki in the previous Street Fighter game, it was HORI’s Naoto Sako. As such, many players have been looking forward to seeing him take Street Fighter V’s version of Ibuki out for a spin.

Well, those folks are in luck as XusesGB has compiled this video showcasing some of Sako’s online matches with Ibuki. The video below contains some great matches with Sako making a strong showing with what is only a “day 2” Ibuki, including a long first to 20 set against Ding, one of Japan’s best Kens.

The Daily Dot’s Best of III returns with a very special guest. This time, they talk with none other than the “people’s champ” himself, Mike Ross.

As some of you may know, Mike has been working for Twitch for some time now, covering eSports. Regarding how fighting games compare to other eSports, Mike uses the classic analogy of the tortoise and the hare, likening fighting games to the former in terms of viewership, with the genre playing catch up.

Despite this however, he mentions that the entry of more major sponsors into the field, such as Bud Light who recently sponsored Panda Global’s Filipino Champ, indicates that we’re in a good place.

Aside from this, Mike also talks a bit about some FGC history and also shares his thoughts on the recently concluded CEO. You can check all of this out in the video below.
