Variations on a tyrannical theme: More V-Skill & V-Trigger setups for Street Fighter V’s Urien

Prove the power of the Illuminati!

Following up on their prior video demonstrating some deadly setups made possible by combining Urien’s V-Skill (Metallic Aura) and Aegis Reflector in Street Fighter V, YouTuber Aeon Aeon has extrapolated even more nastiness from this concept.

The first video demonstrates using the combination setup to cover 3-frame normals on wakeup:

A variation on the setup for the corner:

Here’s some more options on what to do with the second Aegis Reflector.

Additionally, the following three videos look at ways to loop the Headbutt after V-Trigger, as well as setups that follow utilizing the Aegis Reflector. Both horrible and beautiful to behold!

Dragon Ball FighterZ is playable this weekend at both the Crunchyroll and GameStop Expo

For everyone who didn’t get the chance to attend Gamescom, there is still a chance to play Dragon Ball FighterZ ahead of the game’s closed beta. The Gamescom build of DBFZ will be playable at both the Crunchyroll Expo in Santa Clara, and the GameStop Expo in Las Vegas. Both events are happening this weekend, with Gundam Versus also playable at either expo.

GameStop Expo is also the site of the Hometown Heroes Injustice 2 finals, so that may be your expo of choice if you’re both a DBZ and DC Comics fan. With Crunchyroll Expo being dedicated to all things anime, die-hard anime fans will no doubt find other activities to fill time in between DBFZ sessions. Tickets are still available for both expos, so check if you’ve got any Zenny in the bank to spend on attending either event.

If you want a quick summary on all the new features of the latest Dragon Ball FighterZ build, check out this video from Maximilian.

Familiarize yourself with the world’s strongest Namekian with this Dragon Ball FighterZ Piccolo breakdown

Continuing their series of character breakdowns, Bandai Namco have put the Z-Warriors’ resident Namekian (and number one dad) Piccolo under the microscope. Narrated by notable Dragon Ball YouTuber Rhymestyle, this analysis goes over all of Piccolo’s specials, his Supers, and how people can play him in Dragon Ball FighterZ.

Piccolo has some clear inspiration from Street Fighter’s Dhalsim, complete with stretchy arms and a great zoning game. Unlike the fire-spitting Yogi though, Piccolo uses his elastic arms to pull opponents into projectiles like his Ki Grenade. You can summon a fast moving Ki Grenade to help you approach, while the slower Ki Grenade can soak up regular Ki Blasts and can either push your opponent into the corner or set up a grab trap.

Going with that idea of trapping your opponents in disadvantageous situations, Piccolo’s Hellzone Grenade is perfect after a snapback to create an incoming mixup. If the opponent blocks, they are stuck in tons of blockstun so you can close in on them or develop another mixup. If it hits, you’ve got some decent damage and the chance of another combo.

Piccolo’s Special Beam Cannon is another powerful tool for psyching out your opponent, as you can charge it and dash around at the same time, similar to Johnny’s Mist Finer in Guilty Gear Xrd. Combine this with many of his other specials which have him appearing and disappearing to deliver kicks and elbow drops, and Piccolo’s going to be a super tough character to pin down.
