Gain insight into Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition’s Season 3.5 changes with these developer matches

With the advent of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition’s recent round of balance changes, more than a few players may be wondering at why the game developers made some of the choices they did.

For those curious gamers, a recent post by SFVAE’s combat designer (and former player) Ryuichi “Woshige” Shigeno may shed some insight into this. In Shadaloo Combat Research Institute posting, Woshige shares a number of videos of the game’s development team playing matches.

While there’s no commentary over the matches, Woshige does provide a small write up of the changes or concepts they’re showcasing. More interestingly, the matches show a slower, more neutral-focused style than what we tend to see in Street Fighter V matches.

You can check out these matches below, or on the Shadaloo C.R.I. post.

Zeku vs. Necalli

As Necalli can now cancel his EX Valiant Rebellion and EX The Disc’s Guidance into V-Trigger, this gives him new ways to close the distance.

As Zeku can now cancel the end of certain special moves into his Shukumyo, this opens up new combo possibilities and links through free-switching between the Old and Young forms.

Ken vs. Guile

Ken’s got new combo possibilities that take advantage of his Quick Step V-Skill. For example, he can now combo Chin Buster 2nd -> Quick Step V-Skill -> H Shoryuken in the corner.

Sakura vs. Karin

Sakura can now cancel her EX Hadoken into V-Trigger. This gives her more options when she lands a hit with it.
Karin can now use her Meioken V-Skill more easily in combos, letting her build up V-Gauge even faster.

Chun-Li vs. Akuma

Chun-Li can now cancel into her V-Skill, making it easier for her to build V-Gauge.

BornFree talks to Cloud805, the Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite and Dragon Ball FighterZ warrior

In his series of video interviews with top and up-and-coming competitors, BornFree sat down with UYU|Cloud805. The conversation took place at NorCal Regionals 2018, and touches on the player’s past in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, and future with Dragon Ball FighterZ.

Cloud805 triumphed at the Battle for the Stones event, but that’s not his favorite moment in Marvel vs. Capcom — rather, it was beating FChamp at Evolution 2013 in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and making top 8. After some talk about his background in gaming, the conversation switches to DBFZ. Cloud805’s team is Kid Buu, Adult Gohan, and Goku Black because he feels his personality and style show in them. He has pretty strong feelings about Adult Gohan and Android 16, which he goes into about the 14:30 mark.

Check out the full interview below:

BornFree also recently sat down with PR_Balrog.
