Having made her first appearance in Ed’s story mode as “Fortune Teller”, Menat is finally revealed as the latest playable character in Street Fighter V. As Rose’s apprentice, she appears to have a number of her mentor’s moves, as well as a few tricks of her own. All I can say is….
Though news of Ed’s appearance as the next DLC character in Street Fighter V has been leaked on a number of fronts, he finally makes his formal debut in this trailer released by Capcom.
Having made his debut in Balrog’s Street Fighter IV ending as a kid, Ed is rapidly aging due to harnessing Psycho Power, hence why he looks like a full-grown adult now. Beyond having access to special energy, he’s trained under Balrog, giving him a boxing-style flair to his approach.
Ed looks awesome. Say what you will about his default costume, his fighting style looks like a blast to play as. Haven’t picked up Street Fighter V in quite some time, but this is a character that I definitely want to invest some time into.
For those who have access to the upcoming online beta, he will be playable this week. After that, he’ll be available in the near future. Get that fight money ready for one more cool character on the roster!

I messed up.
This was supposed to go live alongside of the stream so you could watch, but I forgot to publish it.
Anywho, here’s an archive of the stream. Hope you enjoy!
The next new character in the Street Fighter V series makes her debut today! Packing ice powers she gained from Gil, Kolin appears to be a character that has shades of Decapre and Rose in her play style. While I felt like the general reception to her thus far has been lukewarm, I think she’s right up my alley. Are you picking up Kolin today?
Having run a few streams on Twitch has taught me that they don’t offer a built-in archiving solution. While in theory, I could record locally, the reality is that my computer struggles miserably to save video files this large. As such, streams that ran an hour or more would take more than eight hours to save while putting my computer at risk of catching on fire.
YouTube may not be a household name in video game streaming, but it does do the job while offering built-in archiving. Of course, I tested it out with Street Fighter V. Let me know what you think!

We close out season 1 of Street Fighter V with a few casual sets against Super Platinum level players! We also talk about how the game performed in 2016 and my hopes for the game going into season 2.

The Raging Demon is back!
Akuma is primed to make his debut in Street Fighter V as the first character from season 2. So far, I really like how different he plays compared to previous iterations. He moves at a slower and stiffer pace, almost to stress how powerful he is. There are some notable changes to his play style as well, such as the inclusion of a launcher attack.
Looking forward to picking him up later this month!

Aozaki_Kyo immediately caught my eye with his ridiculously high ranking. Then he caught me with a beatdown using an Ibuki that’s less than a week old. Turns out, he’s also known as KusanagiMX, who placed 3rd at Japonawa X only behind Julio Fuentes and Chris Tatarian.
After the initial shock, I would settle down and give him a better fight. However, who knows how scary he could be if he keeps practicing this character. Maybe we’ll cross paths again!

Best known for his work as a fighting game commentator and as a top 8 Evo finalist in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, I just so happened to run into Skisonic in Street Fighter V ranked matches. Check out how I fared against this prevalent fighting game personality!
