Toki wo Tomare! Urien Stops Time for Ken in Street Fighter V with This Glitch

Bugs are an inescapable part of any game, but with fighting games they are something else. The right–or wrong–kind of bug can tip the scale of power to one player, to the extent that one player will almost always win. That’s not all bugs are, though: sometimes, bugs can be an integral part of gameplay over time, which define the lifecycle and playstyle of a game. This bug we’re talking about is definitely the former.

As TOOLASSISTED shows us, Urien is capable of completely freezing time Ken with Aegis Reflectors. This effect keeps Ken in a frozen state, capable of being pushed and hit without falling out of the frozen frame. This lets hit effects stack, leading to a wonky looking screen filled with special effects.

Jumping over him and hitting him from the other side results in his turn animation starting but not finishing, and the only way to make him fall out of it appears to be with Urien’s Critical Art or EX Metallic Sphere. It appears that because these moves force an action on the defender after their hitstun ends, this allows Ken to fall out of the glitch.

“The Results Speak for a Lack of Difference in Player Strength;” MOV Talks Capcom Cup with Yahoo! Esports

One of the players who had a very strong Capcom Cup was Joe “MOV” Egami. The legend whose winning ways stretch from Street Fighter III: Third Strike onward has always had a strong Chun-Li, and his fifth place finish at Capcom Cup proved as much.

Michael Martin of Yahoo! Esports caught up with MOV, who had a lot to say about his time at Capcom Cup. In this great interview, MOV talks about his desire to compete in Capcom Cup 2016, his view of player skill across the world, and his desire to travel this season. He also talks about his home, where multiple players live and congregate for local matches.
