Bridget was picked as Season 2's first DLC character partly to increase Japan's 'sluggish' Guilty Gear Strive sales
Guilty Gear Strive is the best-selling entry in the franchise to date and the first Arc System Works original game to cross 1 million copies sold, but the vast majority of those numbers came from overseas.
4Gamer recently held an interview with Strive's Director Akira Katano and Producer Ken Miyauchi where the developers discuss their reasoning behind their DLC decisions and approach going into Season 2.

HiFight slows down impressive round of Juri's Feng Shui Engine combos and Jamie's Drive Rush punishes in Street Fighter 6
Street Fighter 6 can look pretty darn fast in the hands of strong players even in this early beta phase, so it can be extremely helpful to slow things down a bit to get a full grasp of what they're doing.
The ever great HiFight released a new SF6 breakdown video covering an impressive round between Rycroft's Juri and FlawlessDeku's Jamie, who both showed off some interesting tricks with the characters.
Hungrybox beats Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's best Jigglypuff player in the mirror match at tournament in surprise upset
Lost Tech City 2022 is one of the tournaments occupying the attention of Smash spectators this weekend. Players that are attending this event include Liquid|Hungrybox, Chilly|BassMage, Moist|Maister, SSG|Zomba, BC|Cosmos, PG|Esam, PG|Marss, and around 400 others specifically for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
While Hungrybox is typically renowned mostly for his successes as the best Jigglypuff user in Super Smash Bros. Melee, he still competes at Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with the same character. However, BassMage is actually known for being the best Jigglypuff player in the world when it comes to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. During Lost Tech City 2022, these two ended up running into one another during their respective bracket runs.
Luke stuns commentators as he breaks Juri's Critical Art at Street Fighter 5 match but slowing things down reveals what happened
Although the latest balance patch for Street Fighter 5 (very likely the final balance patch) did make it a point to nerf Luke, it's still generally accepted that Luke is a top tier contender in Street Fighter 5. Some might even argue that the Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition iteration of Luke "breaks the game."
Needless to say, this thought was jokingly echoed by RZR|Xian on Twitter while highlighting a commentated match between two Gold ranked players. While this could appear to be an argument to suggest that Luke is able to break the game at will, there's more going on here than meets the eye.

Mario brought his Super Smash Bros. skills with him on his return to World 1-1 in an awesome sprite-based animation
Mario certainly has come a long way since saving Pauline from Donkey Kong in "Donkey Kong," and Princess Toadstool (now Princess Peach) from King Koopa (now Bowser) in "Super Mario Bros." Since then, he's even become a mainstay in many of Nintendo's spinoff series such as the Super Smash Bros. series.
It wouldn't be too farfetched to think that Mario has acquired a ton of experience over his career as a video game icon as a result. What would happen if he utilized some of that experience in a journey back to World 1-1 of Super Mario Bros.?

Ken can combo after the non-cinematic version of his level 3 super in Street Fighter 6

Not only have new trailers and information about the game been released at a steady pace, but the public has also gotten their hands on the game quite a bit by this point thanks to playable builds and various events.
As we draw nearer to the closed beta test and the next opportunity for players to get time in with SF6, we continue to learn more and more about the game.

Demon Dan's meme filled Alex clips are the best in the FGC, and these three prove it
Alex may have never quite lived up to the hopes of the Street Fighter community when it came to tier list placings, but he's proven to be one of Street Fighter 5's most entertaining roster members to watch. In no small part, that's thanks to Demon Dan.
Dan is one of the Alex faithful who has stuck by the lower tier character through thick and thin, and has been creating the best highlight clips in the business with his perfect pairing of creativity and comebacks.
Who is actually the MOST Bruce Lee of all fighting game Bruce Lee homages?
Is it even a fighting game if it doesn't have a Bruce Lee character in it? While there are plenty of recurring homages to famous martial artists in our favorite genre, far and away the most popular has to be the iconic 70's action star: Bruce Lee.
The founder of Jeet Kune Do is in seemingly everything from Street Fighter to Tekken, and in a recent video The4thSnake has ranked some 15 Bruce Lee homages in terms of just how many references they include and get right, and the overall winner is probably not one you'd expect.
