Then, we see the early results of the Intel Open and Virtua Fighter is finally back, but still a port. In the Randoms of the FGC, someone dropped the full strive OST on youtube, TNS puts on a live event featuring UMVC3, live events are getting announced for the end of the year and a new indy fighting game, Coreupt has been teased for E3 and is making waves. Then in the Focus Attack, we go over some of the resources for getting started in Strive. Finally, we hear your answers to the community question from last week.
