The SRK Rollback: Best of June 29 to July 5, 2018

Welcome to the Rollback: a frame-by-frame look back at our past week’s most notable news — and our favorite SRK articles — from June 29 to July 5, 2018!

Zavian “mushin_Z” Sildra, Editor-in-Chief:

Frame 1:
Catch up on Frabisaur’s online adventures in Street Fighter V as Walking the Path continues

If you’re looking for some insight on what you should be thinking about and/or paying attention to while playing SFVAE, Frabisaur has got you covered in his ongoing video series.

Frame 2:
Packz breaks down Cody’s viability in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition for Frame Advantage’s “The Lab”

Thinking of trying out Cody in SFVAE? Packz will help you decide if the new Mayor of Metro City deserves your vote.

Frame 3:

Some things are changing (bugs, generally), but what hasn’t changed: you should be playing this game.

Frame 4:
MY HERO ONE’S JUSTICE will smash its way onto consoles and PC on October 26; Endeavor available as a pre-order bonus

We have both a release date for the anticipated arena brawl — and a reminder that pre-order DLC isn’t going away anytime soon.

Frame 5:
Haggar, Cody, and Guy face off against Mad Gear in this Final Fight fan film: “The Broken Gear”

The love for the world and characters — and the violence — just oozes out of the screen when you watch this great fan project. We need more; we gotta see the Muscle Bomber take to the streets alongside the other heroes!

Crow_Spaceboy, Assistant Editor:

Frame 1:
Pocket Rumble now available for the Nintendo Switch

New indie fighting games for the Switch? This goes straight to the top of my list.

Frame 2:

I would (probably) never play as her, but I’m glad she made it in for the simple reason that its just good business sense.

Frame 3:
Fighting EX Layer will have an official side tournament at Evo 2018

I will Skullo Beam your heart for a flight to Evo.

Frame 4:
Behold these blessed combos from ETCChile for Jesus in the Early Access fighter “Fight of Gods”

Jesus, look at these combos.

Frame 5:
