Courtesy of uploads from XusesGB, fans of high-level Street Fighter V play can check out this first-to-ten online set between Daigo Umehara’s Ryu and an contender for best Dhalsim in the world, YHCmochi. Be prepared for patient, calculated fights from these two.

The set is unfortunately cut short at a 9/9 draw, but they resume to finish their battle with another FT10 set in the second video, which they complete. Who do you think wins? Find out in the video!

Their first video offers up some combos, particularly exploiting Urien’s combo-able throw with a waiting Aegis Reflector:

Check out this video too for some scary juggles, and resets to keep that damage up.

Capcom Pro Tour Player Analysis: Can Infiltration Still Infiltrate Capcom Cup?

Are you rooting for the Evo 2016 Champion to repeat the feat on Street Fighter V’s ultimate stage? Or are you backing another contender? Missing Person’s ongoing features might make up–or change–your mind. Have a look at last week’s analysis of Xiaohai, too–and watch for a feature on Tokido, also pictured above, soon!

Frame 2:
Light Up the Arena with These Chandelure Combos for Pokkén Tournament

This… thing is surely one of the strangest creatures in a modern fighting game. We can thank Pokkén Tournament for that, at least. I don’t main Chandelure, but seeing what… it is capable of piques my interest.

Frame 3:
King of Fighters ’94, Samurai Shodown and Other Neo-Geo Classics Are Coming to Western PSN Tomorrow

This was great news–I’d be delighted to see an ever-growing selection of arcade classics hit PlayStation 4 and really increase their visibility and accessibility. Pay attention, Capcom.

The Problem with The King of Fighters XIV’s Palette Selection: A Step Back for the Franchise

It can be fascinating to take a step back and have a look at a game from a different point of view, and with the help of Zidiane, this article let me do just that. I took a break from grinding my combos–I miss you already, pre-patch Love Heart–to have a think about the colors that I use for my characters. 

Frame 2:
F K Digital Releases Character Trailers for Chaos Code: New Sign of Catastrophe

I’m terrible at them, but I have a serious weakness for obscure anime fighting games, and boy do these Chaos Code trailers deliver. They might not be overtaking Super Sonico as my favorite fighting game character (she fights with cats… cats!), these trailers do a great job of illustrating just how fun Chaos Code looks.

Frame 3:
desk Combos Through Time and Screen Transitions in This Latest Street Fighter Mixclip

Is there anything better for a Street Fighter fan than a desk clip, fresh off the presses? Arguing otherwise is a tough sell, and his most recent mixclip makes it even tougher. Featuring recreations of the Street Fighter anime to go along with his now signature combo delights, desk delivers magic once again.

In Street Fighter V, it absolutely isn’t over ’til it’s over.

We’ve previously featured online compilations from Xuses, demonstrating the sort of amazing comebacks that Street Fighter V is getting a reputation for. Watch a Guile Sonic Boom loop come out just when it’s most needed, Xuses’ own rushdown return with Ken, Urien getting a taste of his own Reflector, and more.

Xuses looks to be going all-in on these comeback compilations, having put all three uploaded so far into one YouTube playlist. Go check the others out!

A dictator’s work is never done.

Even Lord Bison needs to work on his meaty setups to ensure those grovelling worms don’t escape his pressure! New and experienced Street Fighter V dictators will benefit from a look at NurseLee’s video below, breaking down fourteen different setups–different recoveries accounted for–that you can practice to help pave the road to world domination.

Maybe the “Year of Luigi” never ended!

Super Smash Bros. Melee modder MagicScrumpy has been busy, experimenting with mad character-ability swaps that break Melee and its fighters in all sorts of weird ways. This has culminated into the inspiration to take Melee’s Luigi and beef him up him–moving him into the overpowered category by giving him more “immediate access” to what he already does well. Behold the results, below.

Prior to this experiment, MagicScrumpy was messing around with other mechanics specifically, as in the following videos:

This follows MagicScrumpy previously making an overpowered Mewtwo.
