Learn How to Apply and Stop Pressure in Mortal Kombat X

Bafael and Cross Counter TV are back with another installment of their series dedicated to the ins and outs of Mortal Kombat X. Today’s episode focuses on starting and maintaining pressure as well as putting an end to it.

Since these are the topics at hand, Bafael spends a good deal of time explaining the situations that can occur after a safe blockstring ends. Since there are many such strings in the game, this set of circumstances should be playing out several times per match.

The important things to take away from this are figuring out your safe strings, your fastest normals, and what sorts of damage situations they can lead into. Additionally, knowing the options your character has to cover back dashes and, of course, what armored attacks you can throw at an overzealous attacker to get them to back off are equally important.

Capcom Plans to Release Street Fighter V During Current Fiscal Year

SFV-05-622-crop

During their recent round of financial disclosures, Capcom revealed plans regarding upcoming major releases, including the highly anticipated Street Fighter V. According to a new report concerning sales strategies, the developer plans to release the next installment of the iconic franchise sometime before the end of the current fiscal year, which will come to a close on March 31, 2016.

As these new details fall in line with previous speculations (though Capcom later rescinded the latter), it’s become a little safer to say that we could see the title launch within the next year.

Street Fighter V is arguably the most exciting fighting game prospect on the horizon, due to the legacy of the series itself and the spotlight it places on the competitive community, but one should still take much of this news with a grain of salt. A lot can happen in a year!

For more details on Capcom’s plans for 2015, check out their full report.

Street Fighter V is currently being developed by Capcom in cooperation with Sony and Dimps. On launch, it will be available for both PlayStation 4 and PC.
