As most of you should know by now, Capcom recently showed off Street Fighter V at an exclusive event, during which members of the press were given a chance to get their hands dirty with a playable build of the game.

Our own Heidi “Zerochan” Kemps has already done an extensive write-up on Street Fighter V’s new systems and currently revealed cast based on her own time with it, but anyone hungry for more information and, perhaps more importantly, gameplay footage should definitely take a look at the video captured by other outlets.

Take note that, mostly due to their limited time with the game, the quality of play shown here is certainly not representative of high-level competition. That said, the videos can give us some insight into how the game is shaping up.

First up we have EGMNOW’s Mollie L. Patterson using Nash and Chun-Li to take on an unnamed Capcom representative. Some highlights include the use of Ryu’s charged fireball during V-Trigger as well as a glimpse at the mid-air version of Chun-Li’s Hyakuretsukyaku.

Next up, we have some footage from GameSpot. Here, we get a good look at some of Nash’s target combos and his V-Trigger teleport. We can also see use of M. Bison’s new Psycho Inferno, which looks to be a good way to catch jump-ins.

And finally, IGN shared straight up match footage between Nash and Ryu. Like the previous demonstrations, this should give you a nice, foundational look at the title’s new gameplay mechanics and some very basic combos for both characters.

Please bear in mind that this is an early Street Fighter V build and is not representative of what we’ll see at launch.
