One of Birdie’s most important tools is his Hanging Chain, a ranged attack that uses his chain (as expected) to grab an opponent from afar. What some Birdie players may not know is that this move actually has different properties depending on the distance from which it is used.

In a new video, Nurtrient demonstrates how both the medium and heavy versions of Birdie’s Hanging Chain recover faster when they hit an opponent from afar. This means that he can follow up with a combo from a meaty afterwards on hit; doing so with the close version requires a counter hit.

Best of III’s Mike “Danke” Schiller wants more players to start posting videos for Street Fighter V in an effort to help grow the scene, and what better way demonstrate how serious he is about this topic than to lead by example? Doing just that, he’s created this video showing some basic setups for Street Fighter V newcomer F.A.N.G.

This footage includes meaty setups in the corner, ambiguous jump-ins, cross-ups, and more. Since the goal of this video is to help new players get comfortable with the character, Danke has included all of the information necessary to help viewers recreate the options when they hit the lab.

While a good number of people have gotten to play Street Fighter V thanks to the beta testing periods, many players-to-be have yet to get their hands on the game. Thankfully, more than a few folks were able to pick up early copies, allowing them to explore just what the game’s characters can do in the version we’ll have at launch.

One such player is marlonlonmilk, who put up this new video demonstrating some of Karin’s abilities. The video includes both basic bread and butter combos as well as some of her more advanced juggles, so anyone looking to learn Karin should give it a whirl.
