BornFree gets Sako’s opinion on Menat, Sagat, and G in Street Fighter V, and the importance of keeping the fun in fighting games
“G is not necessarily strong… but interesting.”
Sako is well-known as a Street Fighter execution monster and longtime top player — and his Menat is turning heads and winning Capcom Pro Tour events this season. His technical approach and understanding of Street Fighter V makes his outlook something worth listening to — so BornFree asked him what he thinks of the last two DLC fighters of Season 3, Sagat and G.
The verdict? Sagat is pretty weak compared to the rest of the roster, while G falls somewhere in the middle — not overpowered, but with an interesting design. He offers the opinion that even Nash — the other character Sagat player Bonchan has become known for in SFV — is better than poor Sagat.
But that’s only a snippet of BornFree’s full video interview with Sako, which you can see below. They also discuss what Sako loves about Menat (and his fear she’ll get nerfed), his drive to find new combos, and his outlook on training and competition. And the SFV player he fears the most right now is Fuudo!

SoulCalibur VI producer Motohiro Okubo appears in “The Fight is Real” crossover ad with Olympic fencer Miles Chamley-Watson
Producer Motohiro Okbuo appeared in what can begrudgingly be called an advertisement for SoulCalibur VI today. It features him playfully trying to fence with Olympic medalist Miles Chamley-Watson, then not-quite-as-playfully getting destroyed in the game he helped make.
Clearly, an ad showcasing series producer Okubo losing fencing matches both in and out of the SoulCalibur universe is not aimed at the FGC. Nor does it tell anyone, FGC or otherwise, anything new about the game. But if you’re willing to believe that every marketing move is carefully calculated, there is a take-away here — Raphael isn’t the only prominent fencer in SC, and there’s still characters left to be revealed. Perhaps Amy’s debut is on the horizon? If she isn’t, then I guess we can enjoy the fact that we have some new Raphael footage.
Or maybe Namco will pull a fast one and this is all a lead-in to revealing Miles’s Stars-n-Stripes fencing gear is a part of the Season Pass…

Maximize your Presidentiality in Street Fighter V with this V-Trigger guide for G from VesperArcade
“This is true power!”
VesperArcade continues to explore the powers that Gaia has granted the President of the Earth in this V-Trigger guide for G in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. There are combos here for both beginners and experienced campaigners, utilizing both of G’s V-Trigger options: the Maximum President (VTI) that immediately boosts him to maximum Presidentiality and adds a projectile element to his G Barrier, and Dangerous President (VTII) that gives G a nasty uppercut and a nastier armored grab — but V-Trigger II combos require you to be more aware of your Presidentiality level, as VTII doesn’t boost it. Will you shake hands with the President?

Tekken 7 Season 2 roundup: Bryan double taunt Juggles, PepperBeef2Spicy’s Lei, and more!
Hope you haven’t gotten tired of Season 2 in Tekken 7 yet. Judging by the avalanche of videos still being made about new content, we have to assume so. Let’s see the latest Tekken tech from the FGC!
There’s a lot of incredibly difficult combo variations Anna players can choose from. xMTSento mercifully offers a high damage alternative for her DF+2 that nets 68 without breaking your fingers.
Did someone order a 151 damage Asuka combo? strider0317‘s got you covered.
Now that Dragunov’s D+2 has completely changed, so has the mixup situation surrounding it. Nerobianco helps break down how to think about one of Drag’s most common moves.
Pro player PepperBeef2Spicy put together a montage to demonstrate why you, me, and the world should play Lei Wulong.
Claudio’s wall bounce may have some of the most damage potential in the game, if you’re willing to learn some ridiculous combos like these from ApocryphicV for it.
Last but not least, Usman Hitman shows off some absurd technical wizardry with his latest Bryan combo act. While some of this are clearly training mode only combos, you have to marvel at the will and creativity to do stuff like doubling with back-to-back taunts.
Thanks to everyone that submitted content to us! If you have some Tekken 7 tech you’d like to share with the world, reach out to us through our tipline.
