Dictator got you down?

If battling Lord Bison is giving you trouble in Street Fighter V, perhaps a bit of assistance from Zissou’s most recent match-up guide will help. Like in previous match-up videos, Zissou breaks down M. Bison’s unsafe moves and frame disadvantages to give you a eye for when you can most effectively punish your opponent–including how Bison’s moves are modified by his V-trigger state.

Thanks to Andrew for the tip.

More Muscle Power for you!

Urien’s the sexy new man on the roster, but Zangief has been going shirtless in Street Fighter V since the beta! How about we catch up with the Red Cyclone a bit? Here’s some tips that both beginners and more advanced Zangief players might find useful.

Firstly, as some Zangief mains may already be aware, there seems to be a bit of a glitch with Zangief’s EX Borscht Dynamite–the aerial SPD. Because of the EX version’s strike-type hitbox, it trades when met with a simultaneous strike–as opposed to the regular version, where the grab will succeed in the same frames. TGL GiefKid breaks this unusual property down in the video below:

This aspect of Zangief’s EX Borscht Dynamite was actually brought up by GiefKid back in July, a fact that he has gently teased SRK about for not reporting sooner, while he calls for it to be patched out.

While you watch out for that, don’t stop working on your combos! Check out these meaty Cyclone Lariat combos from Rafalibe Makoto, some leading into the aforementioned EX Borscht Dynamite, or closing with a Critical Art:

On the more strategic side: Mr. Slay N Man offers this “Lazy Lesson,” discussing ways to build some extra meter while playing Zangief:

Make your opponents fear the cat-punch!

She’s either top tier, or just plain overpowered; but if Chun-Li is your fighter of choice, you know it still takes some doing to leverage her strengths in Street Fighter V. We recently featured “max-damage” combos for The Strongest Woman in the World, but you’ll want to make sure you have a number of solid meaty setups to keep your pressure on, too. NurseLee provides just that in the video below: ten meaty setups with their usual clear annotations, to help you integrate these into your bag of tricks. Show them your Kung-Fu!

Red Bull’s first Street Fighter V Proving Grounds Online qualifier featured some intense battles, and the second one followed in those footsteps. For a recap on that action, check out the videos below from Red Bull eSports’ own YouTube Channel: first their Highlights compilation video, then the Losers Finals (BOTB|Vagabond versus UA|TakuyaSugi), Winners Finals (TakuyaSugi versus Damdai), and the Grand Final where Vagabond’s Necalli faces off against Damdai’s Ryu–where Damdai ultimately proves victorious.

As always, the answer lies in the heart of battle.

BST|Daigo Umehara: Author, Twitch Global Ambassador, and Guinness World Record holder, the story of this FGC celebrity continues. Xuses has already compiled one collection of Umehara’s online matches in the upper ranks of Street Fighter V’s Capcom Fighters Network; in the video below, Daigo fans can watch even more of the ongoing battle for the top spot online. Ryu’s his main, and Umeshoryus are his game. Can he make it there?

How many of these tricks and bugs have you found?

At closer examination, every Street Fighter V character has unique quirks and twists that most players haven’t discovered–especially if the fighter in question isn’t your main.

Nash–while not topping the tier list yet–is still a popular and powerful pick–he was the weapon of choice for the Evo 2016 SFV champ, after all. Still, as seen in LiangHuBBB’s video below, there may be some things about Nash you don’t know yet. Check out the video for what LiangHuBBB has found for interesting links, bugs, and character-specific interactions for Charlie Nash. How many have you encountered firsthand?

Overwatch fans will also enjoy the second half of the video!

Frame 1:
My Hands-On Experience with Tekken 7 at Wizard World Austin

I’ve been looking forward to Tekken 7’s impending console drop for a long time; Crow_Spaceboy’s report on the game from Wizard World helps continue to stoke the hype-fire.

Frame 2:
Kneel When in His Presence! desk Explores Street Fighter V’s Urien

Urien seems well suited to desk, with the juggling and reflecting shenanigans his V-trigger can set up.  I always get a kick out of desk’s videos, and what he’s been up to with Urien is as fun as ever.

Frame 3:
The Spirit of the Turbulent Wind Captured in This Acoustic Cover of Rashid’s Street Fighter V Theme

I’m a sucker for great video game tunes–Rashid’s theme is possibly the catchiest addition to Street Fighter V’s soundtrack, and this cover does it right by mixing it up, while retaining the spirit of the music and the character. Bravo!

Frame 1:
New Mortal Kombat X Balance Patch Coming on October 4th to Coincide with PC Release of Mortal Kombat XL

Alien’s reign of terror will soon be over, if Ed Boon’s Twitter hints are anything to go by. With PC players finally getting Kombat Pack 2 next week, let’s hope this balance patch acts as a proper welcome for them.

Frame 2:
Samurai Shodown, Fatal Fury, & King of Fighters ’94 Coming to PS4 Arcade Archives

With SNK returning to prominence with the release of KOF XIV, much of their back catalog is returning to current gen systems. Hopefully their worldwide release won’t be too far after the initial Japanese launch.

Frame 3:
Fight for the Crown as the Rivals of Aether Championship Series Begins on October 1st

While Smashers eagerly wait for an official Smash circuit, Rivals of Aether have stepped up to the platform with their own championship series. The first event is this Saturday so get signed up now if you wish to compete!

Frame 1:
Watch the European Scene Step Up Their Street Fighter V Game with These EGX 2016 CPT Replays and Top Five Moments

A bit of nationalism here–as a Brit, I can’t help but feel proud of how great an event EGX 2016 turned out to be. I’ve also been beaten by Ryan Hart a few times, so I can feel for the poor guys and girls that he left in his wake on his way to a second place finish.

Frame 2:
Last Stock Legends Recount the History of the Wombo Combo in Their Latest Documentary Episode

Most of the Smash community have seen that Wombo Combo video. Hell, most of them could probably recite it word for word. It’s one of the most well-loved Smash moments in history, and it’s fascinating to see what went down behind the scenes. Last Stock Legends deliver top notch quality and some great insight into the moment, producing a mini-doc that is well worth a watch.

Frame 3:
Pre-Orders for the Panzer Fight Stick 3 Now Open

I hate to be predictable, but how could I look past the Panzer 3? Jasen’s Customs have a well-deserved reputation for quality, and the Panzer series are sticks worthy of their namesake. It’s exciting to see that his next additions to the line are almost ready, and I’m well prepared to stare enviously when the photos start rolling in.
