Much like past installments, this year’s will bring together fans across a number of titles to compete in the games they love and shine a light on the history of the fighting game community.

In addition to tournaments for Ultra Street Fighter IV, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Lethal League, and Killer Queen, the festivities will also host a special discussion between Seth Killian and John Choi, both veterans of the scene who are sure to provide some fantastic insight into moments from their collective past.

While Spring Fighter regularly draws out some amazing competition, the stakes have risen considerably this year with with NYU Game Center’s offer to fly the Ultra Street Fighter IV champion to Evo 2015, giving them the opportunity to visit the largest fighting game tournament in the world and work towards a qualifying spot at Capcom Cup 2015.

Spring Fighter 2015 is scheduled for this Saturday, April 11. More details on attending can be found through the official website, and a stream will be provided by Team Spooky’s Arturo Sancehz for those who aren’t able to be there in person.

Dudley Steps It Up in Master Class VII, an Ultra Street Fighter IV Combo Video

Rhuel47 has been producing high-execution combo videos for Ultra Street Fighter IV’s Dudley for a long time; in fact, the one that we’ve embedded below is the seventh in running a series appropriately named “Master Class.” In it, you’ll find plenty of Dudley technology that varies from impractical to so far from practical that the fact that it was discovered is itself worthy of praise. Good luck ever landing most of this in a match, unless, of course, you’re Team PIE’s Smug.

Every Dudley combo video packs plenty of juggles, so there’s nothing unexpected as far as that’s concerned, but the way in which Rhuel goes about netting them is the real treat. If you watch closely, you’ll also note a handful of rose tosses prior to the beginning of some of these combos, which come down to connect with Dudley’s target right in the middle of his beat down.

If you like flashy combos, you’ll not want to miss this footage.
