Catch Hours of High-Level Street Fighter V Replays feat. Daigo, Moons, Problem X, More

If you’re looking for more recent high-level Street Fighter V play beyond that of the top finishers at Final Round 19, Flying High has you covered. They recently began uploading sets featuring top Street Fighter talent from around the world throwing down in online matches, and even though the uploading just began, there’s already tons of footage to enjoy.

The sets vary in length, but they’re all much longer than a single match, with some clocking in at nearly an hour. Below, we’ve embedded matches between MCZ|Daigo Umehara and Acqua, TA|Moons and CD jr, and FA|Ryan Hart and Problem X.

But these are far from the only sets they’ve uploaded. We’ve included links to more below, so be sure to check them out.

Spring Fighter Returns in April

springfighter-2016-flyerEvery year, the fine folks at NYU Game Center host Spring Fighter, a tournament that pays homage to the rich fighting game history of the New York City area. In addition to providing some of the best competition around, Spring Fighter also regularly features high-profile interviews conducted by fighting game legend Seth Killian.

This year, attendees will be able to take part in tournaments for Street Fighter V, Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-, and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Perhaps more exciting, however, is the interview portion of the event, which will see Evil Geniuses’ Ricki Ortiz join Killian to discuss her storied career in the community.

What’s more, the Street Fighter V champion will receive a roundtrip flight to Evo 2016 for their efforts. Not too shabby!

Spring Fighter 2016 is scheduled for April 2 at the Metrotech Center in Brooklyn. More information and registration details can be found by following the link below.

Pokkén Tournament Roundup – Combo Videos, Smasher Crossover, and More

It hasn’t even been a week since Pokkén Tournament landed on store shelves worldwide, but the fighting game community is nothing if not dedicated. In these past few days, players have come together to create some incredible videos, mostly based around combos but also focusing on online replays, setups, and more. Without further ado, let’s get right into it.

First up, frequent content producer Hurtbox TV put out a handful of combo videos focused on Pokémon like Gardevoir, Lucario, and Shadow Mewtwo. As we’re still early in the game’s life, don’t expect anything too broken apart from the usual craziness these combo masters always put into their videos.


Speaking of Lucario, LordWilliam1234 also jumped in the lab with this fighter, highlighting a number of Duel Phase combos that do a great job of carrying opponents from corner to corner.

Lucario is popular! This next video focuses on a guard break setup the Pokémon is capable of after activating its Synergy Burst. TheBlackHylian has a much longer guide for Lucario coming in the near future, so stay tuned for that.

We wind down the combo videos today with a look Pokkén Tournament’s resident bruiser, Machamp. Though slow, this four-armed pocket monster packs quite a punch, as demonstrated by owkenny.

And finally, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U master TSM|ZeRo has uploaded a trio of videos showcasing his online matches against ShadyPenguinn, shofu, and Nairo.
