Max Out That Combo Counter in This Max Hit Combo Montage for Street Fighter V

While they may not be the most efficient ways of racking up damage, landing a max hit combo in Street Fighter V is one way to style on your opponent. If you see that combo counter extend past 15 or so hits, you know your opponent is feeling the pressure. For this installment of the Max Hit montage, izumojinX completes their run of the Street Fighter V cast, starting with Ken and finishing with the latest edition to the roster, Illuminati mogul Urien.

Outside of his own crazy Aegis Reflector extensions, Urien features quite heavily in the montage, as his Reflector can actually extend the combo chains of characters, as seen most notably in the Birdie combo. See if you can replicate these combos in an actual match, and check out izumojinX’s first Max Hit montage below as well.

FGC Team EVB Disbands, Unable to Generate Team Funding

The world of esports is a wild one, where it seems like anything can happen. It’s a world where branding means everything, and giants can appear overnight. Today, however, is a solemn reminder that a titan in any particular scene can vanish as quickly as it appeared.

Esports team EVB disbanded yesterday, with a heartfelt message on Twitter:

This funding, once dried up, forced the team to close up shop:

This feels like a large blow to the Mortal Kombat scene, as three prominent members of their community wore the EVB jersey. Ryan “Dragon” Walker, Bryant “KitanaPrime” Benzing, and Ryan “Big D” DeDomenico are all large faces in the MKX scene, who are now free agents after EVB’s collapse. The same of course is true for Street Fighter V player Chris Tatarian, as well as Smash Bros. for Wii U player Austin “Dath” Brown”. While the future is uncertain for these players, EVB leaves us with some last words of encouragement:
