Guile is probably the best designed character out of Street Fighter. He has made numerous appearances in top cuts at events, and is still viable in the current format. His character design and kit is simple, fair, and leaves room for a lot of creativity. Guile’s build paths are numerous. He pumps enough damage to […]

Dhalsim is among the characters in Street Fighter that had the largest impact on the game upon release.  He has made a presence in 9 Standard events with various build, with his most prominent being fire.  His design is simple, but good.  Dhalsim is a character that represents everything right with Street Fighter.  He has […]

With Mortal Kombat on the horizon, and Cowboy Bebop running amok, I figured I’d start reviewing some sets so we can speculate on the evolution of design these past few years. Cowboy Bebop made the direction of UFS clear. More power, bigger numbers, bang bang bang boom. Bebop is the most controversial set released for […]
