It looks like exposure to Android 16’s super moves can have an unintended side effect…

Seasoned players of Street Fighter II will probably remember the (potentially infuriating, at least for your opponent) “handcuff” glitch that Guile could perform to freeze up a helpless opposing character mid-match. While different in execution and effect, it seems that a glitch that shares at least some of the handcuff’s spirit is present in Dragon Ball FighterZ, too.

In the video below, rooflemonger explains and demonstrates Android 16’s own variation on the handcuff theme: when Android 16 uses his level 1 super, if the opposing character is at a specific range and tries to use a deflect, the result may be a strange, slow, and irresistible attraction towards Android 16 for a period of time. The opponent can still attack, but can’t move away from Android 16 until the effect wears off.

The glitch was reputedly first discovered by kamoihito.

Another look at this highly-anticipated classics compilation.

Maximilian had a chance to spend some time with the current build of the upcoming Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, and now offers his thoughts on what the compilation is like so far. He discusses the accuracy to the arcade originals — as it seems this title is using the original ROMs, with very little to no modifications — but decries the lack of modern options for these titles, such as dedicated training and versus modes.

Like other observers, Maximilian also notes the play speed issue that seems to be present in Super Street Fighter II Turbo here; but he reminds us that this is an unfinished build, and some of his criticisms may be addressed in the final product. For even more footage, check out the preview video from PlayStation Underground — and watch out for more impressions to come from the playable build at Final Round 2018 this weekend.

A look into what this compilation will deliver for classic Street Fighter fanatics.

As we creep closer to the release window for Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, some new footage of the game compilation in action was long overdue! PlayStation Underground has now brought us exactly that: giving us our first good look at what the collection has to offer.

In their half-hour preview video, we see the overall menu layout and some in-game footage from Street Fighter, Street Fighter II, Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Street Fighter Alpha 3, and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. The attention to historical detail and the overall presentation is quite impressive, including the classic “cabinet art” borders (which can be turned off). The speed at which the compilation switches between titles is also a nice surprise — the load times are near-nonexistent in this demonstration. It’s not easy to see exactly how true to arcade gameplay the titles are from a single video, but it looks promising; although the speed setting on Super Turbo looks… a bit off? Judge for yourselves by checking out the video below.

Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is expected to release in May 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
