In a new video, Cagar demonstrates how even one frame of latency can make the difference between a move connecting and whiffing in Street Fighter V. By dividing a move’s range into “guaranteed range” and “uncertain range,” we can see how input delay essentially carves out a section of the guaranteed range and turns a grab or hit that would have been safe or certain into only a “maybe,” depending on execution and the startup frames or proximity guarding. Footsies can become problematic if players are unclear where their effective range reaches.

Street Fighter V’s offline input lag on PlayStation 4 has been raising concerns, though using legacy controllers has been reported to reduce that latency.

On his BeasTV channel, MCZ|Daigo Umehara discussed his approach to competing in Stunfest 2016, coming up this weekend on May 20-22 in Rennes, France. Rather than aiming for the top spot, he states that improvement is his main focus; to learn from the experience, to climb the ladder and improve his overall ranking.

At this Stunfest, MCZ|Daigo can expect be going up against other prominent players including MCZ|Tokido, RZR|Fuudo, RZR|Xian, RB|Luffy, and AVM|Gamerbee, among others.

Daigo made recent news with his partnership with Red Bull (while retaining his Mad Catz sponsorship) and the plans to bring the English version of his book “The Will to Keep Winning” to Evo 2016. He’s also offered advice on BeasTV on how to defeat the “Ken flowchart” in Street Fighter V.

Revisiting his “Legacy” video series, this time Maximilian plays Super Gem Fighter Mini-Mix–better known as its other name: Pocket Fighter. This light-hearted, cartoony take on the Street Fighter and Darkstalker franchises includes a massive amount of Capcom fan service in its stage backgrounds and story sequences. Often even more prominent references appear in the “costume combos,” during which characters transform into a variety of things, particularly other characters from Capcom franchises–such as Chun-Li suddenly switching into Jill Valentine’s outfit to pop a few shots into her opponent.

Do note that the videos contain some NSFW language.

Super Gem Fighter Mini-Mix was originally released on CPS II arcade systems in 1997, later coming to home consoles on both the PlayStation 1 and 2. Here’s a promotional flyer highlighting this game’s “chibi” art style, first seen in the arcade puzzle game Puzzle Fighter II Turbo.

The latest video offering from combo virtuoso desk is short and sweet: it features every character in Street Fighter V performing their Critical Art at the same time on a (very) unfortunate Cammy. Desk grants extra slots for those characters possessing a V-Triggered variant Critical Art–Ryu, Necalli, Alex, and Guile–and both the ground and aerial Yoga Sunburst, bringing the total Critical Art count to twenty-three.

This is apparently desk’s first foray into 4K video, so those with compatible displays can see Cammy get blown up with that much greater fidelity. You can see some prior (and more substantial) combo demonstrations by desk here and here.

Dhalsim has always been an usual character in Street Fighter’s roster, but has proven to be very effective for those that learn to apply his signature long-range zoning playstyle. Players considering trying out the Yoga master will benefit from EG|Momochi’s video lecture #16, explaining how to best utilize Dhalsim’s specialized moves.

While detailing his various normals, slides, anti-air abilities and projectiles, Momochi explores how the character has changed from his prior incarnations, such as his “weird” new Yoga Fire trajectory, and the mobility options gained from his floating V-Skill.

Evil Geniuses’ Momochi has recently lectured on Laura’s basics, as well as Zangief’s techniques.
