Chun-Li combo videos almost always have leg loops upon leg loops, and that’s expected. It’s a sort of rite of passage for Chun combo makers to prove that they can perform on a level approaching that of Desk–who Barbin gives a nod in the video’s description. It’s easy to see the inspiration here.

Jon Barbin, however, offers a lot more than simple–and I use the word simple lightly, there’s nothing simple about them–leg loops. He brings some new things to the table, including Red Focus applications that are so much more stylish than simply going for an Ultra or dropping down for another fierce to cancel into Lightning Legs.

Plenty of these strings have little use in actual matches beyond being beautiful ways to close things out, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t entertaining. Check it out if you enjoy high-execution Ultra Street Fighter IV combos!

Last night, Level|Up Series held their second Ultra Street Fighter IV grudge match during Wednesday Night Fights. Online personality Low Tier God, only a few weeks out from his loss to Alex Myers, decided to test another Southern California player. This time, however, the player was Jay “Viscant” Snyder of BROKENTIER, a longtime competitor who is no stranger to big matches.

Although more of a Marvel head, Snyder had no issue calling LTG out after months of trash talk, and so the event was to be used as a way to settle the score between these two players.

What resulted needs to be seen to be believed. Apart from a couple of brutal interviews both pre- and post-match, Viscant showed dedication to weaker characters such as M. Bison and Blanka in the face of LTG’s assault with Rolento, Rose, and Poison.

Check out the video below for the full match archive, but please be aware that there is a good amount of NSFW language thrown around throughout.
