Explore the set-play options off Young Zeku’s Bushin Gokusanage in Street Fighter V

In Street Fighter V, Young Zeku’s target combo “Bushin Gokusanage” (LP, MP, HP, D+HK) is a three-punch string into a flipping attack-throw. Since this target combo switches sides on hit, it’s also a very quick way to get out of the corner and turn the tide in your favor.

Since the attack-throw portion of the target combo has a throw’s knockdown properties, the opponent is limited in how they can get up off the ground. NurseLee ran with this to come up with some safe wake-up pressure and a throw/medium kick mix-up off of a no-recovery wake-up. A lot of the tech we’ve had submitted here at SRK has so far focused on Old Zeku, but as you can see, Zeku’s got great knockdown pressure no matter what stance he takes!

Speculation and analysis: Looking closer at the new V-Triggers shown in the Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition trailer

Some thoughts on what we know, what we don’t, and what can be seen in Capcom’s V-Trigger preview.

When the North American Capcom Pro Tour Regional Finals came to their conclusion yesterday, Capcom provided a closer look at the gameplay changes coming to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition in January 2018. Specifically, the new trailer shows off some of the new V-Triggers you’ll be able to choose from, and how the combo extenders and mix-ups that they provide may add some much-desired versatility to the game’s system. We don’t know exactly how these V-Trigger mechanics will work yet, but some conclusions can be reached from the footage in the trailer itself.

In this video, rooflemonger goes over each of the V-Triggers shown, breaking down what can be seen and details about their operation that might not be immediately obvious:

VesperArcade is also digging into the new trailer, discussing the mechanics as they are shown, and what impact they may have on the game overall.
