“Now, watch and learn!” World Warrior shows off safe jumps and corner pressure with Street Fighter V’s Old Zeku

Old Zeku has some new tricks up his sleeve thanks to youtuber World Warrior.

While there’s always a flurry of content during the first week of a character launch, few players actually stick with the flavor of the month. But when World Warrior showed us anti-back-rise setups, he clearly wasn’t done. Now, he’s discovered that the Bushinryu master has an excellent safe jump setup versus nearly the whole cast off his Crush Counter sweep, allowing him to set up meaty cross-ups and beat reversal Dragon Punches.

He also has his own take on the corner Gram pressure that we saw so prominently during week one. With the combination of wake-up pressure and safe jumps off hard knockdowns, this Zeku tech is perfect for Street Fighter V ‘s offensively-minded world.

Problem X talks to BornFree about the state of Street Fighter in the UK, and his preparations for Capcom Cup

Problem X has been on fire this season, with four Capcom Pro Tour wins this year and a number 6 seed in the upcoming Capcom Cup. He also finished off his CPT regular season with a respectable fifth place finish at Canada Cup 2017.

At the aforementioned event, BornFree sat down with Mouseports|Problem X to talk about his preparations for Capcom Cup. He also discusses his past in first-person shooters before changing gears with Street Fighter IV, and his concern about how the new V-Triggers in Street Fighter V will be implemented. He also states that despite the UK’s success on the Capcom Pro Tour in Street Fighter V, he felt like the scene in general was stronger in Street Fighter IV.
