desk crafts improbable combo possibilities from Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition’s V-Reversals

At this point in the FGC, I probably don’t have to tell you that the entirety of desk‘s YouTube shtick is finding the most improbable interactions that fighting games have to offer. He’s been doing this successfully since 2008, and in Street Fighter V since the series began — It’s a testament to his skill and creativity that through so many games and after so many years, he still finds ways to surprise the FGC. Case in point: his most recent manipulation of V-Reversals:

Taking full advantage of the additional frames granted by counter-hits, desk has found a host of (orchestrated) ways to create absurd and interesting combos from moves never design to allow any sort of followups. Check out the video above to see all the ways you can use, and break, V-Reversals in SFV!

Successfully invade Earth with Maximilian’s Base Vegeta character breakdown for Dragon Ball FighterZ

With Base Goku and Base Vegeta being released for Dragon Ball FighterZ earlier this week, along with an extensive balance patch, many players and content creators have been hard at work discovering the new possibilities of the latest version. Among those is Maximilian, who is back with full character breakdowns of the new Saiyan roster additions.

 

Max feels that Base Vegeta will prove to be the stronger of the two characters due to his combination of highly-damaging loop combos, the strongest corner game among the entire Vegeta trio. Though many of his normals and specials are standard Vegeta fare, the Prince of all Saiyans possesses a unique Command Ki Blast that is fired upward and angles downward, which can set up scary Meaty situations.

Where the Base form begins to set himself apart is with his Energy Cutter special, which he can angle for interesting setups and zoning applications. His command grab, “I have no use for Saiyans who can’t move,” will whiff on Crouching foes and can only OTG off of Sliding Knockdowns. He’s also got a pair of versatile Super Special Attacks in his Level 1 Galick Gun and Level 3 Galaxy Breaker that can be used in a variety of situations.

You can find more coverage of the Base Saiyans from the Frame Advantage team, as well as our first post-patch tech roundup. Both of these characters are included in the FighterZ Pass for $34.99, alongside Bardock, Broly, Fused Zamasu, SSGSS Vegito, Cooler, and one more character yet to be officially announced, and can also be individually purchased for $4.99 and come with their own Z-Stamps, Lobby Avatars and colors. A Base Goku breakdown from Max should be following soon.
