Despite Lupe’s proclivity to all thingsStreet Fighter, it takes a lot of guts to face one of the very best of the fighting game community in a very public setting such as Twitch. He’s already embracinghaving to hold the L, so at the very least the match will be entertaining. I mean, ifseasoned Let’s Players can’t take down The Beast, it will be a hard challenge ahead for non-competitive players.
