Previously, I streamed Street Fighter 6 and Soulcalibur 2 live on Shacknews Twitch last week. My objective was to practice with my chosen characters, master combo sequences, and eventually perform at the same level I usually do across all platforms.

Later, I utilized my practice on a successful Arcade run on the highest difficulty with Marisa. To conclude, I participated in an online ranked match against Platinum players, winning three out of every three games.

Grace delves into peculiar occurrences surrounding a secretive hotel, which is connected to her mother’s untimely demise. This location takes players back to Raccoon City, a place that holds significance for the early installments of the game series.
