Street Fighter V Roundup – Advanced Rashid Option Select, Laura Meaties, and More

It’s time for another weekend with Street Fighter V! Before you grab your stick and go out to show off all the new things you’ve learned over the last week, take a look at some of the new content we’ve found from around the web. Maybe you’ll pick up a new trick or two in the process!

SpabRog gets us started today with a high-execution anti V-Reversal option select for Rashid. This sequence of inputs takes advantage of the small freeze window that takes place during the activation of a V-Reversal, which causes some of the inputs being sent in by the player to be effectively eaten. Thanks to this occurrence, Rashid can keep his pressure high with standard strings and keep his opponent’s V-Reversals in check with the option selected throw that only comes out in the event that the V-Reversal freeze occurs.

Next, Desk offers up his look at Rashid’s combo potential in Street Fighter V. As you may expect, Desk is able to produce some seriously sick juggles, but combos aren’t the only star in this footage; Desk also uses all the wind at Rashid’s disposal to destroy one of Dhalsim’s Critical Arts. Not that that sort of thing would happen in a match, but it’s definitely interesting to see.

Yesterday, RandomSelectTV shared a good mix of Laura footage with us, and they’ve got even more to share today. This short video focuses on all things meaty, and should keep the heads of Laura’s opponents spinning.

We close things out today with some introductory Dhalsim tidbits from Berial Plays. If you’ve seen their footage before, you know to expect reliable damage confirmation options for the long-limbed fighter. If you’re just getting started down the road to Sim mastery, or know someone who is, this reel should help get things going.

Send us your best footage; you may see it in our next Street Fighter V community roundup!
