Tyrant and Packz go into The Lab to explore how to defend against Cammy in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

Learn to better protect yourself from the former Killer Bee’s sting.

Cammy is arguably among the strongest characters in Street Fighter V. If you’re facing a Cammy player that knows her tools and abilities well, you’re in for a tough fight: her speed, range, and pressure/mixup options are formidable.

And while her strengths are making her a more frequent pick for many, if you want to stay in the “beat them” instead of “join them” category, Tyrant and Packz have teamed up with Red Bull Gaming Sphere London to bring us a new series called The Lab, in which they’ll look at how to improve your defensive game in SFV — and Cammy is the first test subject. In the extensive video below, they examine her strong points in detail, and explore what your options are on the defensive side.

Akuma is selectable in online Super Turbo Ranked matches in the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection

Expect to see the original Raging Demon appearing in your Ranked matches — or just use his power yourself…

Early copies of Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection have found their way out into the wild, and since the online servers are already open for those that have access to the title, something that many players have wondered about has now been confirmed: in online Ranked for Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Akuma — the game’s hidden boss character, outright banned from tournament play — is indeed selectable.

You need to use the classic arcade code to unlock him — which is a bit tricky, but hardly much of a deterrent against using a character pretty much universally recognized as too broken for competitive play. Many Super Turbo enthusiasts will argue — with merit — that this will seriously damage the online balance for this title. Will Capcom take notice and make changes after launch? If he’s unlockable in this build so close to launch, odds are the developers don’t see much of an issue with Super Turbo’s Demon raging around online.

Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection launches tomorrow, May 29th!

VesperArcade breaks down Cody’s changes as shown in his reveal trailer for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

A closer look at what we can see so far of Cody’s “unique” political platform.

Cody’s new Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition incarnation has been revealed, and is coming to SFVAE on June 26th. As short as a reveal trailer is, it can tell us a lot about what to expect from a new character’s gameplay — and VesperArcade wastes no time jumping in to analyze what we’ve been shown of Cody’s new and returning abilities.

He comments that in the trailer, Cody’s overall animation appears slightly improved over what we’ve seen from prior Season 3 fighters, fitting for a hard-hitting street brawler (Sakura and Falke have both come under criticism for floaty, “soft” move animations). Zonk Knuckle and Ruffian Kick are still here, but no more Criminal Upper (outside of his “Criminal Punisher” Critical Art). He talks about how his V-Triggers look interesting to use, points out how his new target combo draws from his Final Fight moveset (as well as looking very useful), and more in the video below.
