NurseLee showcases Ryu’s Jodan Nirengeki buff in the Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition’s “Season 3.5” balance update

“This is the path of my destiny!”

As part of the latest round of mid-season balance changes to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, Ryu received a buff in the form of changes to his Jodan Nirengeki target combo.

In this new video from NurseLee — who already made a video for the move midway through the last season — we get to see just how much the move has been buffed. The gist of things seems to be that Ryu gets better options out of the move, depending on the situation. This includes more combos with Crush Counter, as well as the ability to reset mid-screen from the same.

Check out the video below.

The curtain will rise slightly over Nintendo’s paid online service, more than a year after console’s launch.

With the growing number of fighting games — both modern and classic — making their way to Nintendo’s Switch, we’ve been following the news regarding the platform’s planned online service, titled Nintendo Switch Online. As part of the company’s latest financial results briefing, outgoing president Tatsumi Kimishima mentioned that the company will reveal more about Nintendo Switch Online this coming May, via a website update.

While most of the bigger titles have skipped the system, the Switch has gained a number of fighting games during its first year. This includes a number of remastered classics and arcade ports from companies like Capcom and SNK. This year, the system will see more than a few major releases in the form of SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle and Super Smash Bros., on top of further classics like Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R.  Whether or not they’ll take advantage of Nintendo Switch Online when it launches will surely come to light soon.

Stay tuned for further details on Nintendo Switch Online and how it will affect your Nintendo Switch here at SRK and on Nintendo’s official website.
