Get a Handle on Street Fighter V’s Laura

Street Fighter V’s jiu-jitsu master Laura Matsuda is an interesting new addition to the franchise. Her hybrid style, combining traditional grappling and projectile-throwing rushdown, is something that hasn’t been represented much in the franchise.

For those having trouble getting a handle on Laura, the folks at GLHFtv have put together an extensive guide, covering her best normals, specials, punishes, and, most importantly, how to best apply these tactics so she can apply her mixups and maintain pressure. Give it a watch below and let us know what you think.

Hold Back to Block Captures the Tension and Hype of Winter Brawl X’s Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Exhibition

The Marvel vs. Capcom 2 exhibition between Fanatiq and EMP|Xecutioner had to be one of Winter Brawl X’s most intense matches.

Aside from both players’ lengthy histories with the game, the months leading up to the exhibition saw the pair exchange some heated words. Combined with the classic west coast vs. east coast theme, the tension and energy created an atmosphere that’s hard to capture on stream.

It’s this energy that Hold Back to Block’s latest Moments attempts to capture. Instead of focusing on the match itself, the video zeroes in on the action on stage. If you weren’t able to attend in person, this should help you live vicariously through those who did.
