Street Fighter V Beta Vega Impressions
I’ve never been a Vega fan. Never liked his narcissistic attitude. Never liked playing as him. Definitely didn’t like fighting against him and his wall dive shenanigans. Going into the second beta knowing that my time with it would be short, I didn’t even have plans of using him.
But when the buzz started to build about how good Vega has become in the transition to Street Fighter V, I decided to try him out towards the end of my run. In hindsight, I should have placed him much higher on my priority list.
Street Fighter V Beta Necalli Impressions
Necalli’s barbaric fighting is unlike anything Street Fighter has ever seen before. Raw and animalistic, he scratches, stomps and throws opponents by their faces in ways that can’t be ignored. Just off of sheer looks alone, I think he’s the coolest character to watch in action so far. But behind the aggression, can Necalli brute force his way through his more refined competition?
Street Fighter V Beta Vega Combo Video
The iconic clawed combatant is one that I’ve loathed since his debut in Street Fighter II. Never liked playing him and always hated fighting against him. However, he appears to have turned a new leaf in Street Fighter V due to a myriad of changes to his character that I really dig. Not only am I a fan of this version of Vega, but he’s also one of my favourite characters in the game so far!
Street Fighter V Beta R. Mika Impressions
Having stood on the sidelines since her debut in Street Fighter Alpha 3, R. Mika returns in Street Fighter V. As a wrestler, her arsenal of moves would surely make Hulk Hogan proud. She also didn’t come to this fight alone, as her tag team partner Nadeshiko swoops in from time-to-time to lend a helping hand (or butt). Does she have what it takes to make a run at the championship belt?

Street Fighter V Beta Rashid Combo Video
A new entrant in the Street Fighter V series, Rashid relies heavily on keeping his foes off balance with a barrage of tricky special moves and mix-ups. Does he have what it takes to blow you away?
Gaming and the Weak Canadian Dollar
A few years ago, the Canadian dollar began taking a tumble in terms of value. I’m not going to try and explain why, as the economics behind the values of each currency mystify me. However, it’s impact on video games has been abundantly clear. For a good stretch of time, the standard price of a disc-based game was $60. Last year, that crept up to $70. Now, $80 is the new norm. This might not even be the end of the increases, as the Canadian dollar shows no signs of improving in the immediate future.
Street Fighter V Beta Rashid Impressions
Entering the fray for the first time is Rashid. A naturally agile guy whose abilities are boosted by the technology in his backpack, he attacks with an assortment of flying kicks and tornado-based attacks. Does he have what it takes to blow away the competition?
Dhalsim, Six DLC Characters and a Release Date Announced for Street Fighter V
Lots of big Street Fighter V news coming out of Paris Games Week. For starters, Capcom revealed Dhalsim as the latest character added to the playable roster. I’m generally not a fan of the Yoga master, but I love everything I’ve seen in the trailer, from his new look to the plethora of changes made to his arsenal. Definitely excited to give him a shot.
Covering Part 2 of the Street Fighter V Beta
I missed most of the Street Fighter V beta the first time around. After an epic fail of a launch, Capcom conveniently rescheduled the beta to fall on a weekend where I would be out of the province. Played as much as I could on the first and last days of the beta, but it certainly wasn’t ideal.
Hoping that I would be fully available for the second go-around, it clearly wasn’t meant to be. Capcom scheduled their four-day beta during a time when I would be away with Steff for a marriage retreat for three of those days. Also, during one of the periods where I could actually play, the power was scheduled to be shut off in my building. Once again, I made the most with the little time I had.
