New Challenger TV’s “Beginner Breakdowns” series takes fan-submitted footage from online games, usually from Bronze and Silver, and analyzes the play.
Hosted by Encore41 and JZA, this particular episode breaks down footage from the loser’s finals of their Discord’s online tournament series. The matches covered includes footage of common characters that tend to give all skill levels trouble: Guile, Ibuki, and Balrog. This is a valuable resource for those unsure of how to approach these match-ups, and the (very large) Discord itself is a great place for new players to get feedback as they begin their Street Fighter V journey.
One of the new additions to Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2, Answer, is proving to be a handful. With so many mix-up options, the quirky Business Ninja can inflict a headache on an unsuspecting opponent, but only if the player has explored Answer’s plethora of set-ups.
GodPress has been busy compiling excellent tutorial videos which show a lot of in-depth aspects of the character. Check out some of the selections below to learn more about what Answer has in store.

A really good video that shows how to “safe jump” and bypass practically every defensive/wake-up option that Sol Badguy has. Again, read the text in the video for more explanation:
Here’s one that probably many would like master: Answer’s super-jump instant air-dash combos. This compilation shows which characters it works on:
This is just a sampling from GodPress’s work, so make sure to explore the rest of their channel for even more Answer tech.
