Frame 1:
The current state of the Capcom Pro Tour, and what needs to be changed for future seasons
The CPT in 2018 has a lot of aspects that could stand another look — DaFeetLee offers up his ideas, as we draw close to the finale at Capcom Cup.
A lot of changes for the Z-Fighters came through on this patch — study up to make sure you make the most of your team.
It’s a big day for FEXL: the PS4 version is getting its own patch, and the Steam version of the game is hitting digital store shelves.
Well, so much for the fighters on the micro-Station. A clear sign of pushing nostalgia over gameplay quality, unfortunately. Maybe a compilation package for Tekken classics will redeem this gaffe sometime in the future.
It’s important to make the distinctions where SFV truly screwed up, what it does well, and where improvements have really been made over the Seasons.

Frame 2:
Justin Wong talks with fellow players about how they battle tournament nerves
There’s no crying in battle, Josie. Learn how the pros control their tournament nerves!
I don’t mean to cause trouble… but are the people that play four-to-eight last man standing modes on the regulars even going to know Challonge exists?
Frame 4:

I love to see creative solutions to common problems that arise in tournaments. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
