The "magic pixel" is a sliver of health that doesn't even show up in your fighter's health bar, an amount so tiny you would probably measure it in subpixels. It was from that tiniest pip of heath that Zeku player Air fought back, and in a rousing match, took the series while barely alive.

At last night's Next Level Battle Circuit, the mic was somehow unoccupied right before Arturo "Sabin" Sanchez's match against a player who goes by SonicSol, as all the other commentators had seemingly vacated the stream at the same time. Rather than play in silence, Sanchez decided to call his own match.

Zeku, the final character to be added to the game's roster as part of season two was revealed earlier today at the South East Asia Major fighting game event in Singapore.

It's been almost a year since Daigo "The Beast" Umehara has won a premier level SFV tournament. That changed earlier today when he took first place at the Hong Kong Esports Festival, a victory many in the fighting game world were glad (and possibly relieved) to see the ageing star a achieve.

Capcom abandoned most of the Street Fighter series' iconic character intros over time, so one fan decided to recreate them using the latest game.

Final Fight's Abigail is now the biggest character to ever appear in the Street Fighter series, and fans aren't pleased with his grotesque stature.

That guy on the right is Lee "Infiltration" Seon Woo. You might remember him from last year's Evo Street Fighter V tournament,which he won. A veteran of the scene who's been competing since 2010 with Super Street Fighter IV, he's now housing energy drinks in-between matches to help pay the bills.

Justin Wong is one of the greatest fighting game players of all time, and he proved that yet again by using a brand new character for the entirety of a Street Fighter V tournament in Canada this past weekend.

A tense Street Fighter V bout at the SXSW Fighters Underground invitational in Austin, Texas last Thursday showcased one of the game's most compelling mechanics.

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.

In one corner, playing Birdie, we have the WWE's ultimate gamer, Xavier Woods. His opponent, controlling Alex, is New Japan Pro Wrestling superstar, Kenny Omega. The pair faced off yesterday at CEO 2016 to determine, once and for all, who would win this particular exhibition match.

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.
