Street Fighter V has proven to be a great opportunity for Capcom to go and revise the designs for many of their returning characters, and incoming cast members Ibuki and Balrog are no exception.

In a series of Cutting Room Floor blog posts on the Japanese CFN portal, Capcom has shared concept art for the costume studies for both Ibuki and Balrog. This includes both the final designs that made it in, as well as those design studies that did not.

The designs themselves range from simple changes, such as Ibuki donning a hood over her classic costume, to some more outrageous ones, like Balrog wearing something out of a Mad Max film, or Dudley’s outfit.

You can check these out in the gallery below.

Some time back, we did a story on Jasen’s Customs EZ Mod Board for the Mad Catz Tournament Edition 2. This versatile board allows players an easy, solder-less solution to swap in a Brook Universal Fighting Board onto their TE2s to allow them to work with multiple consoles.

One big issue with the EZ Mod Board is the fact that it doesn’t work with the new TE2+ that Mad Catz launched earlier this year. That’s all about to change, however, as Jasen’s Customs have announced that they will be launching their TE2+ EZ Mod Board at Evo this July.

As with the older EZ Mod Board, this new board allows players to mount a Brook UFB without the need for soldering. If anything, the new board is even easier to install since the player no longer has to configure it via jumper settings.

For those interested in picking this up at Evo, the Jasen’s Customs TE2+ EZ Mod Board will be at the event for only $34.95. Take note that no shops have current plans to carry these new boards after the event, making them exclusive to Evo for now.
