We kick off with the legendary Justin Wong, who is racking his brain trying to beat the JP Impossible Challenge.

Matt McMuscles created Haggar and took him out on the World Tour mode.

Top Zangief player Snake Eyez has hit the lab and is already putting together some filthy combos.

iDom is likewise getting his reps in and taking his lumps now.

Daigo is also getting some practice in, but making some pit stops to do some people watching.

And finally...

Max is already doing some work with Marisa.

He's also got some YouTube videos hitting his channel right now.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
