Master the “Cross-Cut Uppercut” in Street Fighter V with VesperArcade’s Tutorial

Learn to apply one of your best tools to shut down cross-up jump-ins.

If you’re struggling to deal with opponents that love to jump in for those cross-ups, VesperArcade has got you covered–provided your SFV main sports a Shoryuken-style uppercut (forward, down, down-forward+attack) special move. This means Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Cammy, Necalli, and even Juri and Ibuki.

In the video below, he breaks down the multiple input variations that the SFV engine will process as the reversing “cross-cut uppercut”: a dragon punch move that will come out and hit the opponent just as they pass over you on the other side. You can apply this technique by starting the DP input towards the opponent while they still are in front of you, but completing the move as down, down-back just as they’ve passed over; there’s also a variation in which you can roll the stick through a half-circle for the same result. If crouching, SFV’s input shortcuts are even more forgiving. The video breaks each variation down in detail, so you can practice up and strike some fear in those jumpy opponents–as a successful reversed DP, even if it trades, will open up additional combo/punish opportunities.

Michael Murray Confirms Tekken 7 Console Release Date to Be Revealed Next Week

It’s been a long, long wait for Tekken fans, when it comes to the series’ latest installment being released on consoles. The 7th iteration of the franchise has been available in arcades since March 2015–with the title even having received an updated version, Fated Retribution, last July. Fortunately for fans of the King of Iron Fist Tournament, the long wait will finally be over soon: as Michael Murray, one of the title’s game designers (and who generally appears at events as a translator for Executive Producer Katsuhiro Harada) responded to a fan on Twitter recently, saying that the release date would be revealed “next week.” Last month, Bandai Namco mentioned that we would be seeing news about a release date for the game in January, so it looks like that revelation is indeed just right around the corner. You can see Murray’s reply below.
