Put Your Buttons to Good Use with This Tutorial on Decapre’s Normals

Until you understand a character’s normal attacks, you don’t really understand the character. That seems pretty self-evident, but the truth is that many characters have plenty of buttons that can fill all sorts of different roles and lead to different results because of their properties. Sometimes these basic tools, which should be the foundation of any character’s play, get overlooked in favor of flashy combos or vortex setups; I was personally guilty of the latter for longer than I’d like to admit.

Decapre players should keep this lesson in mind when they check out the Ultra Street Fighter IV tutorial below, which focuses entirely on the masked fighter’s normal attacks. You’ll find frame data and hit boxes, as well as how to apply each button in combat. Frame traps, block strings, footsies tips and yes, even some setups make it on to the reel–she is a reset-heavy character after all. You’ll also find a handful of short combos that are used to demonstrate certain situations and provide basic follow-ups for properly-applied normals.

Many of our readers will quickly notice that the tutorial isn’t in English. Luckily, it does have English subtitles and most of the important information comes in the form of standard combo notation, so nothing should be lost.

Love it or hate it, Street Fighter V is coming, but there’s definitely some room for your opinion to change between now and the game’s release, according to some new details released in this week’s issue of Famitsu.

During the magazine’s interview with Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono, it was relayed that the upcoming title is currently only 20% of the way through development. While not all that surprising (especially with the Work in progress gameplay footage attached to the bottom of the gameplay trailers), it does give a good point of reference for fans to keep in mind during discussions of early footage.

A concrete release date has yet to be confirmed, but a recent Amazon listing possibly revealed Street Fighter V as an early 2016 title.

We are in the process of translating Famitsu’s full talk with Ono, so stay tuned for more details.
