Gouken Pushed to the Limit in Ultra Street Fighter IV

If you’ve been around the Ultra Street Fighter IV scene for a while, chances are that you’re familiar with the name cjbqulix. This combo mastermind has cranked out a massive collection of videos, often dedicated to single characters. In this fashion, their most recent offering features Gouken laying down some serious damage.

With no regard whatsoever when it comes to practicality, cjbqulix has included combos that take advantage of all of the sorts of things that will only ever happen in this sort of setting. This includes such things as taking a rose to the face mid-combo, eating a full turn around punch to allow for a stylish double Ultra combo option, and similar antics.

Not every combo included revolves around these sorts of mechanics, but even those that don’t push the limits of what we’d likely call practical.
