Whether you’re looking to steal strategies or pick apart their play, tuning in to tournaments is a great way to keep up with what the top players in your game of choice are doing. But tournaments aren’t the only place to catch high-level action; plenty of YouTube channels keep track of noteworthy players and upload their matches for viewers to enjoy. One such channel is Olympic Gaming.

If you’ve seen their “SPOTLIGHT” series, you know Olympic Gaming specializes in finding online matches worth seeing. While a Street Fighter V “SPOTLIGHT” series has yet to officially begin (it is on the way, though), that hasn’t stopped those behind the videos from sharing loads of matches featuring some of the best players in the business. Below, we’ve included fights highlighting players like Mago, PG|Filipino Champ, Flash Metroid, and others.

Street Fighter V, like any new fighting game, stands apart from previous entries in its series for plenty of reasons: mechanical changes, graphical updates, roster inclusions… the list goes on. And while so much does change, many aspects of the game may be more similar to their old iterations than we’d notice without paying them special attention.

In his newest “Megamix” video, Desk takes a trip back to the days of Street Fighter Alpha–or Zero, if you prefer–to offer viewers a look at how Rainbow Mika’s previous incarnation lines up with her current one. Desk’s editing makes the video a worthwhile watch even if you’re quite familiar with Mikas new and old.

Desk previously gave Birdie the same treatment, so if you enjoy this style of video, be sure to check it out.

Guile has been the topic of much discussion lately, and while we’ve already seen a fair share of information surrounding the the upcoming character, there’s still much left to learn before we finally get to take him into battle ourselves. Yesterday, the folks at Winner Stays On ran a special stream to highlight the returning fighter and give viewers a better idea of what he’s capable of.

At the beginning of the stream, which you can find embedded below, Logan Sama and Matt Edwards spend some time breaking down all of Guiles moves. These include a host of command normals, some target combos, his stationary projectile and plenty more.

Of course, those basics pave the way for loads of matches featuring the new character. If you’re hungry for Street Fighter V Guile gameplay footage, you’ll definitely want to check it out.

In the most recent round of changes to the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U cast, Mewtwo was lucky enough to be on the receiving end of numerous buffs. Understandably, this improved version of the Psychic Pokémon has drawn a bit of attention. One such bit of attention came in the form of a combo video from Teitoku06142.

As you’ll see in the footage below, the combo makes heavy use of footstools, neutral airs and a mixture of special moves to keep an opponent locked down, seemingly forever. If it isn’t, in fact, a true infinite, it at least seems to last long enough to secure a stock against Mario.

If you’re looking to give this combo a go yourself, the inputs required to pull it off come in a text overlay in the second half of the video.
