In addition to all the touney hype, here are a brief number of things to expect:

  • G reveal for Street Fighter V
  • Season 2 DLC news for Tekken 7
  • Wave 2 DLC from Blazblue Cross Tag Battle + more news about future content and balance changes that will have no impact on Ruby's performance
  • Top 4 Smash Melee being all Gods
  • Cooler reveal DragonBall FighterZ
  • A brief message from Reggie promoting Smash Ultimate and likely nothing else
  • Something Marvel related.

Additionally, I miss KOF being amongst the lineup.

I'm kinda mixed about MvCI news possibility.  On one hand, it's great to see Capcom attempt to give new life but I worry if its still going to retain everything lackluster about its appearence.  At least it's kinda something.

In downer news, savior of the Smash Ultimate meta MK Leo is out with chicken pox.  Wishing him a speedy recovery.  Also wishing that we don't see 3 Bayos in Top 8, or any in GF.

In other news, Capcom Cup winner MenaRD and a few other players from East Coast might not be able to partake in EVO due to weather issues because even nature hates MenaRD's choice for Birdie's costume.


Gonna be tough to pick who will take it all in SFV.

They did pretty decent with AE in term of UI and presentation and honeslty its not like they need to do much to improve it. Sad to hear about MenaRD since he seemed pretty confident for Evo

Reminds me of how a Pheonix Wright player knocked Yipes away in UMvC3.
 


Smash Ultimate stream is starting for those interested.  Don't expect any major news from it tho.

Gouda is my hero in Cross Tag.  Been attempting to learn more about Nu/Gordeau synergy and see it on the main stage is awesome.


Surprised he didn't went with Nash for this matchup, but wow.

The moment when you see Infiltration of all people getting carried.

Edit 1: Come to think of it, is armored Samus not terrible this time around?

Edit 2: Wew it's Mewtwo.

Finally some Inkling gameplay, though I'm bummed over Infiltration not going for that shoto goodness.

Edit 1: Congrats for taking it, Team NRG.

Seeing the KOF stream, there's something awesome about seeing high level Oswald combos.
