Why I think Master Yi might be a perfect fit for Riot's upcoming 'Project L' League of Legends fighting game
The vast majority of Project L, Riot Game's upcoming League of Legends fighting title, is still shrouded in the realm of chaotic potential, but those of us who have at least dabbled in both LoL and fighting games are speculating night and day about what might eventually come to fruition.
There are a lot of questions that need answers before we can even lay a tangible foundation pertaining to characters, mechanics, and what the overall feel of the game will be like, but we can, at least, discuss some broader ideas to pass the time at this very early stage in development. I'll start with why I think my favorite champion, Master Yi, would be a perfect fit for a fighting game.
Capcom issues apology to Xykes regarding the Street Fighter League situation by refunding VIP ticket for Capcom Cup 2019
Some time ago, controversy arose when Leah 'Gllty' Hayes was banned indefinitely from Capcom events and was disqualified from participating in the Street Fighter League. Most figured that EventHubs member Xykes would be invited in her place as he was the runner up in terms of votes.
Strangely, Arturo Sanchez was added to the Street Fighter League roster instead. Recently, Capcom has acknowledged the situation and has issued Xykes an apology.
"We've also refunded your VIP ticket as an apology for Street Fighter League, so please don't be alarmed when you see the money come back," stated a recent Tweet to Xykes from Capcom Fighters. "Thank you for your support."
'I lost all hope in Ultimate's balance team because I feel like they don't really understand...' — ZeRo on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate criticisms
"What changes do you want to see in [Super Smash Bros.] Ultimate?" This was a question posed to Tempo|ZeRo during one of his streaming sessions on Twitch.
Needless to say, ZeRo had some interesting things to say regarding this subject. "I'm going to be honest with you," begun ZeRo in his explanation.
"I lost all hope in the balance team in Ultimate because ultimately I feel like they don't really understand how to make this game more fun or add any more depth, and I think the style of balance that they're going to do moving forward is that they're just going to make extremely slight changes that don't really make a difference to any kind of gameplay."

Roy's jab, the Belmonts forward tilt, and Incineroar's down tilt are the best in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate — A look at the best moves in Ultimate

How awesome would it be to beat someone in tournament using this Street Fighter 2 Mini Fight Stick?
