Silhouetted Street Fighter V Combos: desk Goes Extra Artsy

Akuma came pre-loaded with one of the coolest glitches ever: if you connect a Raging Demon and then reset the match in the middle of it, you will only see character silhouettes instead of the fully colored models. This is definitely not an intended feature of the game, but makes for some awesome visuals.

Who else to capitalize on such a cool glitch but the sultan of cool glitches, desk. Utilizing this he assembled this combo video–featuring every character–that is equal parts stylish and awesome.

Wong Who, Bill Bull and G. Oriber Headbutt Their Way into the CFN Portal in These Latest Profiles

After taking a few weeks off, the CFN Portal site is back to posting profiles once again, continuing the Shadaloo Activity Report’s look into the members of the Mad Gear Gang from 1989’s Final Fight, this time focusing on three of the gang’s portlier members, known for their powerful charging headbutts: Wong Who, Bill Bull and G. Oriber!

Private Nakagawa: I think there were many of you who were surprised by a sudden headbutt charge from offscreen. That sound, THOOM, THOOM, THOOM, was so scary!

Basic Info:

Name: Wong Who
Height: 191 cm
Weight: 214 kg
Blood type: 0
Birthday: March 8th
Home Country: USA
Likes: Karaage, Sweet Foods in general
Dislikes: Useless Efforts

Private Nakagawa: A giant active in the vicinity of Metro City’s harbor. He earned his living from weapon smuggling and contraband. He has a big tiger tattoo on his back. It seems he has a relative able to spit poison from his mouth, active in an Asian organization specialized in drugs. [It seems Wong Who’s related to T.U.S.K from the Nguuhao, who was killed by M. Bison during their failed coup attempt against Shadaloo.]

Next up, we have Bill Bull!

Private Nakagawa: Another one of the headbutt brigade. Sometimes he dished out a powerful front kick. He drinks, rages and breaks beer bottles. Scary, scary!

Basic Info:

Name: Bill Bull
Height: 195 cm
Weight: 212 kg
Blood type: B
Birthday: April 2nd
Home Country: USA
Likes: His Original Cocktail, Watching Baseball
Dislikes: Exercise

Private Nakagawa: He’s renowned for his original cocktail, in which he mixes Worcestershire sauce, shōyu, mustard, Chili oil and dressing. It seems that he’s recently enjoying mellowing it with honey. He tried a diet once, but it didn’t last long.

Rounding out the trio is G. Oriber!

Private Nakagawa: He’s the last member of the headbutt brigade. He has the strongest kicks amongst all its members. Well, at least he thinks so.

Basic Info:

Name: G. Oriber
Height: 191 cm
Weight: 209 kg
Blood type: A
Birthday: September 4th
Home Country: USA
Likes: Hamburgers, Fatty Foods
Dislikes: Police

Private Nakgawa: He has great faith in himself, and always tyrannises people. He boasts about his sideburns, that he never forgets to trim. Apparently, he doesn’t use an electric shaver, instead insisting upon using a straight razor. The G. in his name stands for “Graham.” [I also suspect that “Oriber” was actually Oliver (again, its kana interpretation goes both ways). That would nicely fit Capcom’s tendency to randomly reference rock artists in Final Fight.]

That wraps another set of CFN Profiles. For a look at more Mad Gear members, take a look at Axl, Slash and Roxy here, as well as El Gado and Holly Wood here,  Bred, Dug, Jake and Simons here, and TWO.P and J here. Stay tuned to Shoryuken, where we’ll bring you more CFN Portal site profiles as they’re released!

TheoryFighter Discusses Character Selection for Street Fighter Players in Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-

One of the most difficult processes in learning a fighting game is picking a character that matches your personality and playstyle. When you are transitioning from one game to another, it becomes even more difficult when the game and mechanics are dramatically different than what you are used to.

Given the entry barrier and confusion for Street Fighter players who attempt to move to a more technical-heavy game such as Guilty Gear, TheoryFighter’s Street Fighter Guide to Guilty Gear has become a major asset. In this episode, we see the character select screen broken down from the viewpoint of a Street Fighter player.
