Get closer to your revenge by adding some meaties to your gameplan.

Nash is a common pick for some top Street Fighter V players out there–RZR|Infiltration used him to win Evo 2016, not to mention use by LI Joe and Yukadon; RB|Bonchan’s Nash was also tearing it up at Canada Cup 2016 just over a week ago, and last weekend at Red Bull Battle Grounds.

Nash is a tricky fighter for the inexperienced, so if you’re just getting started with him, check out NurseLee’s video below: fifteen meaty setups to give you a leg up on the competition. Even experienced Nash players might find something to add to their revenge repertoire.

Frame 1:
Someone’s Transforming Street Fighter V’s Zangief Into Red Bull’s Snake Eyez

This Pixar-esque Snake Eyez skin for Zangief is brilliant, and I hope it kicks off a trend for mod makers creating player skins for certain characters. Infiltration Nash or Daigo Ryu, anyone?

Frame 2:
Here’s a Sneak Peek At a Beautifully Animated Street Fighter Fan Film

If Otaking’s “TIE Fighter” animated short is anything to go by, this Street Fighter short should be a great tribute to the series and its previous animated films.

Is the ArcSys Cycle Hurting Its Community?

The ArcSys Cycle is a common complaint of every Blazblue player, and there’s no end in sight. Woocash has suffered along with the rest of us, and has written some fantastic analysis of just how damaging it can be for the community.

Some more practical–and impractical–combos for SNK’s latest.

SNK has made quite the impact on the world of fighting games with the latest installment of The King of Fighters, and dedicated fans are showing no sign of slowing down the combo content creation. Below, we showcase two of the most recent videos to hit the web.

First, if Kukri shares a spot on your team, you’ll want to give a look to this combo video from Persona Entertainment:

Next, on the flashier and less useful (but entertaining) side, check out the latest combo exhibition from the COMBONAUTS, this time starring Ryo Sakazaki.

Giving the game the controls it deserves.

After the highly questionable Street Fighter IV Volt and other portable iterations for iOS, Super Street Fighter IV 3D for the Nintendo 3DS is likely next on the list of mostly-forgotten versions of Street Fighter IV. Not having access to arcade-style controls is a deal-breaker for many FG players–of course, you could instead hack your 3DS with custom firmware, and then use an arcade stick to play the game the way you want! Observe below. Interested modders will find helpful links and other info in the video description.

crouchStrong Gaming also has some other homebrew 3DS Street Fighting strangeness, this time involving Street Fighter Alpha 2, viewable on their YouTube channel.

The main event for Red Bull Battle Grounds is almost upon us–November 4-6, in Seattle–and the last of Red Bull’s three Proving Grounds online qualifiers has been held. In the videos below you can catch up on Red Bull’s own highlight reel, as well as the Losers, Winners, and Grand Finals, featuring Dee_Ancer, Brolylegs, and BOTB|Vagabond–who ended up in the top spot with Necalli, coming up from the Losers bracket.

As you might have already noticed, even Street Fighter V’s Ring of Destiny is ready for Red Bull Battle Grounds!
