Call it a glitch, or a quirk, or even an exploit: something unusual that Street Fighter V shares with some of its classic predecessors is the ability to remove the knockdown property of certain attacks by connecting another attack in the same frame. This allows combos that should be “impossible”–because of the opponent’s impending knockdown state–to become possible to perform.

In his latest video, desk demonstrates and explains this aspect of the game’s mechanics in detail, showing off such combos from M. Bison, Juri, Guile, Dhalsim–and one from Ibuki that pushed him to his limits!

On the more musical side, desk also recently remixed Juri’s Street Fighter V theme.

Pikachu is the electric poster-mouse of the entire Pokémon franchise, and a popular fighter for the Super Smash Bros. series to boot. As part of their ongoing Smash History video series, The Game Theorists have examined the fiesty pokémon’s past and how its prior appearances in the core Pokémon games (and the collectible card game) have helped shape Pikachu’s moves in the current Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS titles.

Pikachu’s pre-evolved form Pichu (of Super Smash Bros. Melee fame) is also included for comparison–and they discuss the fan-theory that the version of Pikachu seen in Super Smash Bros. Brawl onward is actually Melee’s Pichu, post-evolution. Check out the video and judge for yourself.

Ibuki’s strength in Street Fighter V lies in her deadly combos, and her Isshaku Horokudama–her V-trigger, namely those tricky ninja bombs–can really keep the pressure on if the timing and positioning is mastered. The Rush n’ Kill Clan recently showed off excellent applications of this; in the video below, MrBshock gives us a look at how to vary your mixup to deal with an opponent’s knockdown recovery: be it a quick rise, a back recovery, or none at all. Keep that pressure on and don’t let an opponent escape!

Juri has become a very welcome addition to Street Fighter V’s playable roster–but the reception to her new theme music has been mixed, particularly when the softer, murkier sounds of her SFV music are held in comparison to her fierce, edgy Super Street Fighter IV theme. It’s definitely one of the most unusual takes on a character theme that SFV sports so far.

As a musician, it seems desk is also not too fond of Juri’s new beats; he’s put together his own remix of Juri’s Street Fighter V theme that blends influence strongly from the SSFIV original. Watch the background for some stylish Juri techniques from both titles.

Of course, desk has also contributed to Juri’s growing library of Street Fighter V combo videos.
