exceL Esports’s Brian “xLBrian” Thomson is on the shortlist of sponsored Menat pros for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. The resource-reliant, highly polarized offensive move-set of Menat might makes her too much of a difficult and risky choice for most tournament players.

But if you stick with her, the high damage rewards of her combos speak for themselves. If you found xLBrian’s combo tutorial useful, you might also be interested exceL’s larger guide to controlling and winning with Menat.

Street Fighter Carnival X is Mikado Arcade’s currently-ongoing multi-game tournament series for a wide variety of classic (and sometimes, obscure) arcade titles. To see the beginning of these high-level Japanese tournaments, go here!

Today’s tournament is 1993’s Fatal Fury Special. This SNK classic combines old-school footsies with its innovative 2-lane movement system, years before Virtua Fighter found its own 3D plane.

You can follow the action of SFCX by subscribing to Mikado’s official YouTube channel. For the night owls in the US, you can even try to catch them when they livestream.
