Put Safe and Simple Pressure on Your Opponent’s Wake Up with This Juri Okizeme

Juri might only be a few (official) hours old, but there are already plenty of ideas floating about what she can do. One of them is maximizing the damage that she gets when she gets a knock down – a key part of any character in Street Fighter V – by making use of her fireballs to leave the opponent in an awkward situation. Juri might not be able to kick an opponent while they’re down – although I’m sure she’d make the attempt – but she can certainly make it a lot easier to kick them again once they’re back on their feet.

By using her fireball in combination with her V-Skill, which is already proving remarkably flexible, Juri can leave the opponent in a 50-50 situation whether they quick rise or not. From there it’s just a matter of choosing which of her myriad options to make use of to put the opponent back on the ground and, hopefully, back in the mix-up situation. Check out the video below by Matthew Flores for more information, and to find out just how to make use of it in your own game.

Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator Glitch Leaves Dizzy’s Fish Frozen on Screen

Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator’s newest character, the returning veteran Dizzy, released last week on July 18, to much fanfare, after winning a character poll last year. As players all over the world have been searching for any and all tech they can find, a strange glitch has also been discovered.

Dubbed “Fish Install,” if a player grabs during a small window of either version of her ice fish move, “We talked a lot together,” before it hits the opponent with its lunging animation, the fish will become stuck in place, losing both its hitbox and its hurtbox, rendering it nothing more than frozen graphics filling up the screen–unless a new fish is summoned and hits within the same area, at which time the old fish will take on the properties of the newly-summoned one. The P version hits three times in front of Dizzy, but does not track the opponent, whereas the K version will track horizontally before hitting twice.

You can see a pair of videos showing off the glitch below, courtesy of ImperiousGent and yoefu02, as well as some Tweets explaining more about how this works.

With Patch 1.04 scheduled for a Fall 2016 release, hopefully Arc System Works can patch this out as they add the new Digital Figure Mode.
