The Capcom Pro Tour Asia Qualifiers quickly filled up with insane moments, as some of Asia’s best showed up to compete for their spot in the Capcom Cup. Among these instances are some that feature household names like RZR|Infiltration, Secret|Poongko, and RB|Bonchan, but also put the spotlight on some of the lesser-known warriors that are making waves on their continent. We get a good glimpse of Infiltration’s new Rashid play, something that is as interesting to observe as it sounds, and some behavior that is attributed to Poongko’s infamous “angry” transformation.

Replays of these exciting instances and many more are featured in this full 18 minute highlight compilation:

Two of Japan’s best battle it out in this first-to-5 for Street Fighter V. Mago (playing as Karin) and HORI|Sako (maining Chun-Li) have faced each other many times before in the past, so it is interesting to see how high-tech their matches get in each player’s quest for victory. Many top players have expressed having trouble facing Chun-Li, but Mago seems to have an elevated understanding of the character and the Chun-Li/Karin Match-up. Sako, being a Karin player himself, reflects his opponent’s level of character knowledge and brings his own execution-heavy style to his character.

Check out the set and see which titan comes out on top:

PH|LPN, one of the FGC’s prominent Alex mains, recorded a session with Yahoo! Esports’ “Tech Hit,” where he breaks down the ins and outs of Alex’s V-Trigger in Street Fighter V. He shows the different ways that Rage Shift can be used in various match-ups, elaborating on the necessary spacing, timing, and frame data knowledge needed to come out victorious in each situation.

Every thing in the full ten minute video is very well explained by LPN and could be a great tool for anyone looking to level up their Alex play.

Super Smash. Bros has come a long way since it was first released on the Nintendo 64 in 1999. What was initially a quirky all out brawl between beloved, iconic Nintendo characters has evolved into a thriving competitive scene that is respected by many members of the FGC and the eSports community as a whole.

In this video, YouTuber Master of Hyrule demonstrates the ways in which the roster’s Smash attacks the have changed over the years. He starts with the original 12, and proceeds to show the Melee character’s evolutions as well. He focuses on how the graphics, voices, animation and–in some cases–the attacks themselves have changed. The jump from 1999 to 2016 could trigger some serious feelings of nostalgia for some, so longtime Smashers should watch with that in mind!

When it comes to fighting games, there is nothing more embarrassing than letting your opponent get a perfect round on you… except letting your opponent get two consecutive perfect rounds on you.

While getting double-perfected can be frustrating, this compilation video from XusesGB provides lots of study material for those hoping to avoid–or achieve–a Double Perfect. The various characters involved use a variety of pressure options and set-ups to corner and intimidate opponents while remaining unscathed. Though there is always risk involved when trying to maximize damage with no consequence, the double perfects in this compilation are impressive and not entirely possible to recreate!
