When in doubt, punch it out. (Screenshot: Capcom)
During last night’s Next Level Battle Circuit, a weekly fighting game tournament for online competitors on the east coast, top
Street Fighter V player Brian “Brian F” Foster got away with murder.
Ahead by a score of 2-0 in grand finals, Foster was a hair away from winning the whole tournament. His last Balrog combo had left his opponent’s Ibuki on the ropes, and as Foster moved forward to potentially finish them off with a throw, a special attack came out instead. Immediately after, Foster held his hand to his face in disbelief.

Street Fighter 5 Season 5 Dan review: A return that stays true to the character s legacy, but with a lack of power to match Posted by Steven Dreamking23 Chavez • February 25, 2021 at 6:45 p.m. PST • Comments: 21
The official inauguration of Street Fighter 5 Season 5 took place earlier this week bringing with it new balance changes, a new mechanic, and new characters to enjoy. Of the two additional characters to join the roster Dan and Eleven the former acts as a full-fledged fighter, while the latter is essentially a random select option with a cool skin and voice added to it.
Naturally, I ve taken some time to explore what all Dan has to offer now that he s made his grand and wacky return to the world of Street Fighter. While the Street Fighter Alpha alum is oozing with personality and fun, right out of the gate it s seeming like he isn t all that strong when it comes to combat though there might be hope for his competitive future.
