Desk Continues to Impress with Latest Ultra Street Fighter IV Combo Video

With all the craziness surrounding Street Fighter V this weekend, it can be easy to forget the community’s focus will likely remain on Ultra Street Fighter IV for the next several months. One person who hasn’t forgotten that is Desk, who recently released yet another combo video.

Unlike previous videos, this compilation doesn’t have one explicit theme, but that doesn’t mean the combos shown here are any less impressive. Some of the more noteworthy aspects of Desk’s latest outing include some ridiculously extensive Dee Jay loops, unused clips from his previous ‘Shadows’ project, and a rather involved way of extending the juggle limit on a stunned opponent.

Give the footage below some of your time and let us know what you think.
