Tokido feels Daigo is the strongest Street Fighter 5 player in the world right now, but save your reactions until you hear his reasoning why
Yes, CYG|Daigo Umehara is still the most recognizable fighting game player in the world, but the strongest at Street Fighter 5? The Beast has a handful of strong showings in Capcom Pro Tour events and is slated to appear at Capcom Cup in less than two weeks, but we could easily rifle off a handful of names with more impressive SF5 resumes.
During a streaming session with RB|Gachikun, Rohto|Tokido (one of the players who certainly is in the discussion for top SF5 competitor on the planet) was asked who he feels is the strongest in SF5. His reply was Daigo, and his explanation explores more than just wins vs. losses.
Has Capcom been hiding a clever Easter egg right in front of our faces ever since G was first revealed for Street Fighter 5?
I'll start this by saying that I'm not exactly convinced that designers of G had this in mind when they constructing the character and his animations, but it's still pretty cool nonetheless.
Twitter user Rhys recently came to a particular realization about the President of the World and his most commonly used freeze-frame.
Here is Dragon Ball Super Broly's move list in Dragon Ball FighterZ
Dragon Ball FighterZ is seeing the release of its next DLC character this Thursday, December 5. Dragon Ball Super Broly joins the fight and rounds out the second season of additional fighters.
Bandai Namco US held a live stream yesterday during which they showcased the upcoming contender. Not only did we get to see Super Broly in action, but we now have the character's move list to look over.
First Season 5 buff for Ryu may have been spotted and it's a highly requested change for his crouching medium kick in Street Fighter 5
While most of us have probably been distracted by the shiny new V-Skills (with the most recent ones being Alex, Blanka, and Kage) that are coming to Street Fighter 5, HiFight has apparently been paying extra close attention to the footage for an early look at Season 5 changes. As with any balance patch, we're expecting a number of buffs and nerfs for the entire roster.
Fans of Ryu might be excited to hear this, but it's entirely possible that the range of his crouching medium kick may have been adjusted. Based on footage comparisons, it looks as though its reach has been extended.
Official brackets for Capcom Cup 2019 have been posted, see all first round Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition match ups right here
We had our suspicions as to what first round matchups at Capcom Cup 2019 would be, but Capcom has posted the official brackets so we can see who will be clashing right out of the gate as well as what potential paths the winners will be taking.
It seems all seeding has been decided according to global points, meaning that the top-ranked REC|Punk will be taking on Zenith (the Latin American regional representative) as the latter has the fewest global points of the 31 qualified competitors.
Momochi has now officially obtained his JeSu pro gamer license
You might have heard about Victrix|Momochi's Street Fighter 5 tournament victory during the Tokyo Game Show back in September. Although he could've won 50,000,000 Yen ($46,365), he was only eligible to take home 100,000 Yen ($925).
The reason for this? Momochi didn't have his JeSu pro gaming license. In Japan, there's a maximum amount of money that can be earned from gaming events without a license due to gambling concerns.
However, it seems that this situation won't be repeating for Momochi's future wins.
Is Sindel's damage output too high and already in need of a nerf? TrueUnderDawgGaming discusses Mortal Kombat 11's latest character
Sindel was released as a DLC fighter in Mortal Kombat 11 quite recently. Players are already beginning to come to an understanding of Sindel's potential in the current meta.
Evidently, Sindel is armed with some rather high and easy damage. Isn't it too early to be calling for nerfs? TrueUnderDawgGaming recently released a video that discusses why Sindel's damage is most likely justified.
The 'Kill Karin Challenge' has the community venting their frustrations against Karin in Street Fighter 5 — here are some of the flashiest submissions
Karin's status as a top tier character has already been assured in Season 4 of Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition. Hatred and disgust from the community is usually associated with top tier fighting game characters, and Karin is certainly no exception.
To help the community vent their frustrations, Javits has come up with the "kill Karin challenge." With full resources, clips are to be uploaded that showcase characters defeating Karin's entire life bar (925 life) with essentially two combos.
Between the two combos, Karin shall perform an EX Ressenha, which can be punished with a counter hit or Crush Counter. Ideally, Karin should be stunned in the middle of the second combo.

What are the best and most impactful fighting games to release this decade?
December is upon us which means that there's only one month left in this entire decade that's been the biggest and most important eras in fighting game history. Today, the genre feels larger than ever before following the mostly quiet times of the 2000's before Street Fighter 4's release.
There's been so many fighting games that have come out in the last 10 years that many fans probably either forgot about or thought came out more than 10 years ago, so we've put together a giant poll to ask everyone what they think were the absolute best of the best and most impactful — from (Super) Street Fighter 4 all the way to Mortal Kombat 11 and Samurai Shodown.
Victrix Pro AF Headset review - Excellent quality makes up for missing features
Victrix has been in the business of making "high-end" video game accessories for a few years now including their impressive fight sticks. Their products reach far beyond the fighting game community too.
We were recently given the opportunity to review Victrix's new Pro AF headset which is made to be a more streamlined version of their $300 Pro AF active noise cancelling set minus a few bells and whistles.
The new Pro AF headset is still not a cheap or entry-level product with its retail price of $180, so is it worth the price of admission when there are similarly priced options that include more features?
New V-Skill 2 footage shown off for Alex, Blanka and Kage in Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition

PlayStation's Twitter account revealed new footage of V-Skill 2 for Alex, Blanka and Kage which seem to give all of the fighters some very handy abilities including bringing back Shout of Earth from previous games.
