Desk Combines 3 Street Fighter Titles in Latest Combo Video Mashup

Desk is known as an incredible combo video creator, and some of his finest work comes when he throws together two or more games to show similarities specific characters share in their various appearances. His latest shines a light on Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li, the only cast members to feature in Street Fighter V, Street Fighter IV, and Street Fighter III, and their common tools throughout all three games.

As you’ll see below, Desk’s impressive execution and editing skills combine to create a fascinating exhibition, showcasing the parallel facets of each character’s gameplay that have survived over the years. There’s even a bit of animation thrown in for good measure. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Street Fighter V ‘Death Pool’ Finalized at NorCal Regionals

As was previously reported, NorCal Regionals 2016 has taken a rather unique with late registration. Instead of closing it down altogether, the organizers have placed every at-the-door registrant for Street Fighter V, Ultra Street Fighter IV, and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 in their own respective pools.

While at least 100 players were expected to register in this way, the number is a bit more modest at 52, but the density of skill is still pretty high. Notable players who will take part in this ‘death pool’ include Panda Global’s Filipino Champ, Evil Geniuses’ K-Brad, r/Kappa’s Poongko, Mad Catz’ Mago, Flipside Tactics’ Alucard, MOV, Marn, Chris Tatarian, Taekua, and iPeru.
