Straight from DreamHack Austin, Evil Geniuses’ Kenneth “K-Brad” Bradley stopped back by the Best of III studio to share some thoughts on his teammate Justin Wong’s dominance in the US scene, as well as the issue of input delay currently plaguing Street Fighter V.

On the former, K-Brad states that Wong is the best player in the US at the moment. This status is something that he feels his teammate will be holding on to for at least the next few months.

As for the issue of input delay on the PlayStation 4 version of Street Fighter V, K-Brad states that he isn’t too worried about it right now, and feels that we should just view it as part of the game. He goes on to state that “[he] never once felt that [he] couldn’t do something because of lag.”

With the many updates to Mortal Kombat XL, the NetherRealm Studios title is once again seeing new players coming in to give it a go. To help these new players out, YOMI’s REO has started a new tutorial series that focuses on the basics of the game.

In the first episode, REO talks about one of the most basic elements of the game’s interface: the health bar.

While MKXL’s health bar seems to be just the same as those appearing in any other fighter, REO points out the fact that it actually has notches that help give a player a better idea of exactly how much health they and their opponent have left. Understanding this aspect of the health bar can give players a better idea of what combos they need to land, as well as the sorts of risks they should be taking, in order to secure a victory.

The latest video offering from combo virtuoso desk is short and sweet: it features every character in Street Fighter V performing their Critical Art at the same time on a (very) unfortunate Cammy. Desk grants extra slots for those characters possessing a V-Triggered variant Critical Art–Ryu, Necalli, Alex, and Guile–and both the ground and aerial Yoga Sunburst, bringing the total Critical Art count to twenty-three.

This is apparently desk’s first foray into 4K video, so those with compatible displays can see Cammy get blown up with that much greater fidelity. You can see some prior (and more substantial) combo demonstrations by desk here and here.
