Are we investing too much interest in “thuggery”? Yahoo! Esports discusses ELEAGUE’s controversy

The era of Street Fighter V is unlike any that the FGC has experienced before: between the attention the community is getting, the level of interaction with the game’s developer, the growing sizes of pot bonuses, the scope of exposure and the size of the community at large, we’re truly living in a new age. With our new size, however, there are bound to be some growing pains.

Yahoo! Esports’ Bizarro Mike has done his best to provide commentary and exposure for the community through his medium, and in the latest episode of I Got Next, he talks about the latest ELEAGUE event–specifically, discussing the feuds, the obsession with bashing each other, the production value, and whether or not we’ve let our obsession with “thuggery” overtake our sense of reason.

Keep your opponents under fire with these back throw corner setups for Ken in Street Fighter V

YouTuber Cochroy found a great way to take advantage of Ken’s back throw when it lands you and your opponent in a corner situation. If the setups demonstrated in his video are executed successfully, the spacing you’re left with following the knockdown can lead to some series damage.

The clip covers options for crush counter, on-hit and blocked first attacks. The setups shown all start with standing roundhouse–but after watching, you will get the gist of how to create various post-back throw corner setups of your own.

If you liked this video, be sure to check out Cochroy’s Season 2 Ken combo video. You can also check out these Heat Rush on block setups from World Warrior.
