What we're expecting from Street Fighter 5's next version if it drops early next year, Bonchan takes over, SNK is leveling up, and Battleship

September 04, 2019

We're suspecting there's a good chance we'll get some kind of a Super update to Street Fighter 5 early next year, and if that's the case, what kind of new mechanical shifts could the game really use right now? Plus the Bonchan dynasty has begun, but is this a bad time of year to get hot? Catalyst has a word or two about EVO and how it might get a little more hype than it actually deserves these days, I've leveled up my fighting game scope by getting my ass repeatedly handed to me in Battleship, and we answer a few listener questions here on this week's episode.
