LiangHUBBB returns with Episode 101 of his “Funny & Cool Moments” series

After hitting the milestone of his 100th episode back in March, LiangHUBB continues the march into triple digits with Episode 101 of his “Funny & Cool Moments” series, which compiles some of the most hilarious and impressive fighting game clips from a variety of different titles. This episode’s selections contain footage of Tekken 7: Fated Retribution, Injustice 2, Street Fighter V, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, ARIKA’s in-development Fighting Layer sequel/spin-off, For Honor, Under Night In-Birth EXE: Late [st], Ultra Street Fighter II, Street Fighter III Third Strike, Ultra Street Fighter IV, The King of Fighters XIV, Mortal Kombat XL, and more.

Highlights include Akuma sentencing Bryan Fury to “die 1,000 deaths” (while decked out in ridiculous customization), Alex flying off into space after getting overly pumped from a victory, Akuma scoring a Time Out victory in SFV before his Raging Demon animation can even begin, a crazy Garuda combo from Gods Garden Pro’s Kazunoko during ARIKA’s stream, along with various stuttering glitches. Ed’s Psycho Cannon bounces Ibuki’s bomb like a beach ball, a pair of Lauras seemingly have a headbutting contest, a Rock Howard player will not stop waking up with Raging Storm, and poor Rainbow Mika gets tormented by an invisible Dhalsim.

We also have a look back at Shaq and Eva Marie’s epic battle at the ELEAGUE Street Fighter V Celebrity Invitational, a Juri player V-reversing Ibuki’s bomb (only to die when it explodes), VesperArcade getting into a hilarious throw tech war with a Urien player, stylish Ibuki sequences, Poongko getting angry in USFIV, Krullex’s NSFW salty rant against Cammy, and Defend The North’s Smug getting way too into some pre-match nachos at Next Level Battle Circuit. You can see the entire compilation below.

Ken’s funky kick cross-up in Super Street Fighter II Turbo just got funkier

You know a game is a classic when even after two decades, new stuff continues to be found for it! Such is the case of Super Street Fighter II Turbo–which is the subject of this new video from legendary combo video maker Final Showdown.

The focus of the video below is Ken’s “funky kick” cross up. Most Super Turbo veterans know that Ken’s funky kicks, especially the half-circle forward version,  can cross up in certain situations. The new discovery in Final Showdown’s video expands on that, showcasing how the player can cancel the tail end of the funky kick’s animation into itself, allowing it to cross up in even more situations than normal.
