In response to recent allegations of domestic violence, South Korean fighting game competitor Seon-woo "Infiltration" Lee has been dropped by Panda Global, the professional esports organisation that signed him in March, and will not participate in official Street Fighter V events for at least a year.
The inaugural season of Gfinity's Australian city-based esports league wrapped up over the weekend with a southern rout. Having solidified their position in the finals of all three games, Melbourne Order turned the weekend into a whitewash, taking home the trophy in all three matches and the club championship to boot.
Over the weekend, Gfinity's first city-based esports league will come to a close. So if you'd like to see who will sit atop the crown for Rocket League, CS:GO and Street Fighter 5, you can tune in here.
R. Mika is a strong Street Fighter 5 character, maybe one of the best in the game. Despite receiving numerous adjustments by the developers in a recent patch, she continues to make her mark on the competitive landscape thanks to players like Du "NuckleDu" Dang and Keita "Fuudo" Ai. But a recent discovery adds yet another trick to her repertoire, one that has the fighting game community buzzing.
Street Fighter 5 isn't the first game I'd associate with the iconic Australian landmark, but if it's a stepping stone to getting something similar to what Melbourne had then I'm sure people won't mind.
Video: Street Fighter V might not have weather effects or time of day changes during battles, but this is something modders can fix quickly.
Last week Capcom started removing League Points from Street Fighter V players disconnecting from online matches before the game registers a loss. Yesterday the top-ranked player in the world got docked back to the bronze age.
As promised, Capcom has started penalising Street Fighter V players with absurdly high disconnect rates that coincide almost exactly with the closing seconds of a match. A more permanent solution is in the works, but for now, the worst offenders are getting their comeuppance.
No one likes rage quitters. Even rage quitters hate rage quitters. Not only does the recently-released Street Fighter V has its fair share, but aborting pre-defeat is an excellent way to circumvent the associated consequences. The good news is, Capcom has plans for these digital ne'er-do-wells.
If you've ever played any Street Fighter at all in your life, the name Justin Wong will probably ring a bell. Even if you haven't played Street Fighter or any fighting games, you've probably heard the name before. The 30-year-old EVO champion has been the focus of various documentaries, and he's long been held up as the last line of defence for North America's fighting game community.
On top of that, he's a good guy. And that image has only been further strengthened today, with the multi-title champion releasing his list of combos for Street Fighter 5 -- for every single character.
Ken already looks annoying in Street Fighter 5 with his long, blonde bangs, his whiny accent and his habit of putting that smelly foot in your face with every Critical Art.
But that's nowhere near as frustrating as when Ken is being controlled by someone who's just plain obnoxious.
As much as we'd all like to, sometimes we just don't have the money to own all the latest and greatest gaming equipment. So for gamers with a passion for pixels and frame rates that exceeds the capacity of their wallet, the first port of call is typically the graphics menu. You know, the menu where you turn everything off or as low as possible.
If you're this kind of gamer, you might like to know that Street Fighter 5 is your friend. You might not have the ability to turn off every single particle effect, but you can make the game look really, really shitty if you want to.
Yesterday we posted how JB Hi-Fi stores around Australia were waged in a nationwide competition against each other to produce the best point-of-sale art for the launch of Street Fighter 5.
There was some fantastic drawings, recreations of arcade cabinets and even clever wording. But those weren't the only great displays going around.
It's only what was playable in the latest beta, but I can imagine there might be more than a few developers feeling vindicated in their fears right about now.
