The latest installments of Shadowloo Bootcamp went live recently, and in these segments, host Ricardo “Mono” Roman turns the conversation toward Alex. Right now you’re probably thinking that Alex isn’t a member of Shadowloo, and you’d be correct. But may I remind you that the character doles out criminal levels of stun? May I remind you that he has the nerve to strut into battle in a belly shirt and with no shoes? I’m not saying these facts necessarily tie him to the organization, but there may be something a little more evil under that headband than a haircut of questionable quality.

If you’ve got no qualms with getting your hands dirty, you can pick up some basic combos and meaty options, as well as tips for doing them, in the videos below.

If you’ve tuned in to any recent major Street Fighter V tournaments, you’ve certainly seen Razer’s Infiltration take control of Nash, and you’d likely agree that his movement with the character is so fluid that a comparison to ice skating wouldn’t be out of place. By peppering in V-Reversals and the occasional V-Trigger to get out of sticky situations, Nash players like Infiltration may be able to convince onlookers that the character doesn’t need an invulnerable reversal to remain relevant.

But Nash may not be quite so slippery as he seems. In a new video, SpabRog hits training mode to demonstrate some ways to deal with the the fighter’s common escape methods. After pinning Nash in the corner, players can execute meaty attacks under specific–they’re pretty strict–timings to beat the V-Trigger, for example, making the fight that much harder on Nash.

It goes without saying that missing damage opportunities can cost players a match, so knowing the correct buttons to press following a counter hit can easily mean the difference between advancing in a bracket or packing up your things to heading home. Thanks to a new video from Dragon Ranshiin, those playing Nash in Street Fighter V now have a solid resource to reference when looking to make the most of such exchanges.

The combos presented here cover both regular counter hit combos as well as those resulting from crush counters. Though not all of these conversions result in staggering damage, they do have the potential to add up over the course of a round.

Razer’s Infiltration recently sat down with the folks from Spirit Zero to discuss a number of important topics tied to Street Fighter V. The problem with the original stream recording, however, was that the three discuss such topics in their native tongue. Luckily for us, a kind soul by the name of feral chio took the time to translate the footage and add in English subtitles.

As expected, Infiltration spends plenty of time talking about his wins at both Final Round and NorCal Regionals, as well as other aspects of Street Fighter V. But it’s not just competition that he discusses. He also touches on how he goes about eating during the course of a tournament to keep himself alert and plenty more.

Do note that these translations, as the translator notes, are meant to give the general idea of what is being said at any given moment and shouldn’t be quoted directly; however, the information provided is still quite insightful and entertaining, as we’ve come to expect from a player like Infiltration.
