It’s hard to believe Street Fighter V has already been out for two full weeks, but it’s true. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we’ve collected some of the best recent video offerings from around the web and put them here for your viewing pleasure.

To get us started today, Pan takes a look at Ken’s Tatsu. Thanks to the way the move functions, even the fighter’s grounded Tatsu can create a crossup hit on downed opponents in okizeme situations, leading into massive damage conversions. Pan takes the time to break this tactic apart to demonstrate how it’s done, the options the aggressor has in the event that their opponent gets a read, and options to beat the tactic.

Of course, Ken’s aerial Tatsu is still a threat in Street Fighter V, too, so Pan examines that as well.

Next, LordWilliam1234 highlights ways to maximize Ken’s damage off a meaty counter hit overhead. That’s quite a few stipulations, certainly, so the setups aren’t going to come into play all that often, but they’re definitely worth looking into to guarantee your Ken has as many options as possible.

To round out our Ken footage for the day, Vandylizer takes a look at just how far the fiery fighter can push his opponents after scoring a knockdown. We’ve also included a second video from Vandylizer, which looks at some of Zangief’s meaty options.

This next video, from SFO|Nargrull, is an extensive showcase of Nash’s pressure potential. Clocking in at just under 10 minutes, this exhibition is positively packed with important information for those looking to run over their opponents with this returning combatant.

If you’re a Karin player having difficulties with the Ryu matchup, this next video from ReikiKirei may have just what you need to put the wandering warrior in his place. Learn how to make the most of those punish opportunities!

It’s always exciting to see the creative ways players come up with to keep Dhalsim’s rubbery appendages in check, and Sebastian Rikk brought us a look into some fun ways to do just that in this next bit of footage.

We’ve received numerous combo videos today including R. Mika options from Johnny Bravo, unMaker’s look at Zangief, and a host of Vega combo potential from both Vexoid UK’s Indoimran and ClutchCombo.

We close things out tonight with a hilarious video from Burnout Fighter. This video is a supercut featuring the fear inspired by the lobbed balls of lava and other flame-based attacks at Dhalsim’s disposal. You can practically hear the defenders panicking to prevent themselves from being burned; some do it by wildly jumping, some do it by dashing, others still take to hunkering down with their hands over their heads in hopes the sky won’t come crashing down.

Send us your discoveries; they may end up in our next Street Fighter V community roundup!
