It's time to kick off the EventHubs Season 5 tier list discussion as four of us here on the site have ordered personal tier lists the entire Street Fighter 5 roster. We then averaged those four together and will be discussing characters 40-21 on this week's episode. 1:05 - General Criteria07:34 - Alex12:58 - Falke18:33 - F.A.N.G22:06 - Nash27:47 - Juri32:07 - Ryu 38:38 - Ed43:22 - Vega47:40 - E.

Who are the hardest characters to play efficiently in Street Fighter 5? Who are the easiest? Four of us here at EventHubs have come together to rank the entire 40-character roster in terms of how technical each fighter is to play, then we averaged our scores to come up with a final list. DreamKing, MajinTenshinhan, Catalyst, and I are going through that final list today to highlight some of our more notable choices, debate opinions, and explain who we think are SF5's most technical characters.

Yoshinori Ono talks the current state and tentatively promising future for Street Fighter 5 in a newly released interview with US Gamer, Tokido's performance with Akuma at Topanga has Catalyst all but certain that the demonic fighter will be a problem here in Season 5, and a recent EventHubs poll regarding the production of more SF5 content yields some surprising results. Timestamps 04:02 - Important details from Ono's latest interview36:34 - Why Akuma looks kinda broken right now (Tokido destroys everyone at Topanga)56:04 - More evidence that SF5 has shifted toward footsies and "R. Mika island"1:04:46 - The people apparently want more SF5 DLC characters
We're doing things a little differently (heh) and recording an extra interview for the EH Podcast this week. There's been a good bit of request for Tekken content, and so I decided to bring on one of the most passionate and enthusiastic Tekken players from my local scene to just talk everything Tekken. Welcome Shaun "Shaundude" Oyakawa as he shares the beauty of Tekken with the rest of us.

Welcome to the third and final episode of our three-week special EventHubs Staff Street Fighter 5 tier list extravaganza. Today DreamKing, MajinTenshinhan, Catalyst, and myself conclude our tier talks as we reveal (and fight over) the top 10 characters as they rank in our collaborative lists.

And we're on to part two of the Great EH Tier List Extravaganza. Catalyst, DreamKing, MajinTenshinhan, and I have ranked the entire Street Fighter 5 roster in order from weakest to strongest and have averaged all of our opinions into one big list. Last week we spoke on the bottom 10 as we organized characters 35 through 26, this time we're tackling the middle of the pack with 25 to 11. There are timestamps below, but they do kind of serve as spoilers if you're not wanting to know the order right off the bat.

On this week's special episode of the EHP, we're welcoming both DreamKing and MajinTenshinhan as we kick off our Street Fighter 5 tier list extravaganza. The four of us have compiled individual tier lists to rank order each and every one of SF5's 35 characters. We've averaged those four lists out and thus come up with our final EH staff list and we're sharing the results over our next three episodes. Today we're kicking things off with our bottom 10 characters in the game. Enjoy.

Daigo has a controller that lets him throw Sonic Booms really efficiently, and the FGC has no idea what to think about it. Plus we have to wonder if Capcom will be giving us more than just characters for Street Fighter 5 come EVO... another balance patch perhaps? And if they do do a balance patch, they should probably consider nerfing Cammy again and they should DEFINITELY consider nerfing Rashid. Mortal Kombat 11 has a very good showing at Combo Breaker, Combo Breaker has a very good showing at Combo Breaker, Punk is showed the middle finger during his very good showing at Combo Breaker and more. Timestamps 01:38 - Too much Rashid15:18 - Is Cammy too easy to play?25:40 - Will the SF5 EVO reveal be more than characters?39:16 - Are you okay with Capcom's communication in 2019?46:24 - Mortal Kombat 11 looks good at Combo Breaker, SonicFox doesn't win55:51 - Punk unhappy with Combo Breaker heckler, Capcom addresses the issue on Twitter1:03:16 - Daigo's Gafro stick

In episode four of the EventHubs podcast we take a look at why Street Fighter 5 draws out so many extreme emotions from its players, both good and bad. As a game meant to be played more in the mental realm than many others, we look to the examples of up and comers Punk and MenaRD as they struggle to establish a sound mental approach in their already successful journies as pros. Then we examine how Tokido's use of meditation and healthy life habits have given him a competitive edge.TimestampsStart - What we like about SF521:40 - What pisses us off about SF529:01 - How the Pros separate themselves from the pack38:30 - SF5 is more mental than most other fighters. Mena and Punk are learning that, Tokido is mastering it.
The first episode of the EventHubs podcast. Catalyst and Velociraptor discuss new developments in the Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite world that may indicate a potential revival for the game. They also dialogue about Street Fighter 5's Season 3.5 balance and the recent claims that the game is too top heavy. Finally they take a look at potential Capcom reveals at E3 2018.
