desk breaks Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition in his latest combo video

One of the most exciting things for people who study how fighting games work is finding unintended interactions — the kind that make the game behave in a way it’s not meant to. This kind of thing has been fodder for combo video makers since the dawn of the genre.

The latest game to be subject to this is none other than Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, of course. The creator in question, none other than desk. In his latest video, the combo wizard explores a number of bugs, glitches, and unintended interactions in the game’s latest update. These include things as simple as getting characters to react to being hit in ways that they normally shouldn’t, to actually making certain character freeze in mid air, or having them fall through the floor.

Evo 2018 registration leaderboard update: Dragon Ball FighterZ still gathering power in first place

The Spirit Bomb that Dragon Ball FighterZ will drop on Las Vegas this year grows ever larger!

Evo Championship Series

After a look at the registration standings in March and again in April, it seems like the main stage games at Evo 2018 have pretty much been locked into their niches — the leaderboard order hasn’t changed between the updates:

  1. Dragon Ball FighterZ
  2. Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition
  3. Tekken 7
  4. Super Smash Bros. Melee
  5. Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U
  6. BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle
  7. Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2
  8. Injustice 2

However, Evo director Joey “Mr. Wizard” Cuellar has added the tidbit that DBFZ has an even bigger lead now, further widening the gap between it and the next most popular title: Street Fighter V.

Of course, we’ve still got a few months to see if this will get shaken up a bit. Registration is still open! Evo 2018 hits the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino on August 3-5.
