Why the latest netcode update for Street Fighter 5 might especially benefit PS4 users, how Capcom looks to be evolving the game in Season 5, and more
Street Fighter 5 just got a new netcode update and Catalyst and I have spent some time this morning exploring it directly while also trying to figure out what specific changes we should expect moving forward. Speaking of changes moving forward, Capcom appears to be planning to evolve the game in some significant ways in Season 5. Finally, why does Mortal Kombat's Mileena have such a rabid fan base? We explore a bit of the psychology behind the fandom of this simultaneous sexy bae and devouring monster from under your bed.
