Over the past few days, Capcom’s continuing work to improve the Street Fighter V beta has had some very visible effects in the form of an update to the client and various stress tests to make sure its ready for public consumption. While these tests have been internal, that hasn’t stopped eager fans from accessing the game with determination and a little bit of luck.

As you would guess, this has resulted in more Street Fighter V footage making its way online, some of it pretty informative. One such video comes to us from east coast competitor Spab Rog, who demonstrates the additional stun damage Ryu’s punch normals deal out when his V-Trigger, Denjin Renki, is activated.

We’ve known for some time that Denjin mode affects Ryu’s specials in various ways, but this extra feature may have gone unnoticed by the community at large. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait for the beta to open officially until any concrete applications are discovered, but feel free to let us know what you think in the comments.

This morning, Ominous contacted us to share their progress on BisonBot, a “fully functional AI-guided program” that pilots Ultra Street Fighter IV’s one and only dictator.

Some of our readers will likely recall Dantarion’s KenBot project, which we covered just over a year ago. Thanks to its ability to read the game state and react accordingly, the KenBot was the embodiment of (exaggerated) yomi. It was borderline psychic. BisonBot, while similar to the KenBot, approaches fighting from a different angle. Instead of working with godlike reactions, Ominous’ bot attempts to mimic a more human playstyle.

Like human players, BisonBot “has to commit, guess, and react. It is designed to log the opponent’s preferences and weakness [and] to adjust accordingly.” Ominous goes on to say that it has “been made to feel pressure during tense situations, and must commit to guesses in the opponent’s mix up.” With these sort of human limitations, one has to wonder if BisonBots also dream.

The project is still in its early stages, but if you’re interested in checking out just what this AI can do, we’ve included three match videos below that show it in action.

If you’ve been following Persona Entertainment’s King of Fighters XIII combo videos for a while, you know that they’re fond not only of creating combo videos laden with devastating strings, but also going back and making adjustments to those strings in the future. These adjustments tend to squeeze just a little bit more damage out of the already impressive options presented in previous videos, but any improvements are welcome, no matter how slight they may be.

In their latest pair of videos, Persona revisits Benimaru Nikaido and Vice to spout some stylish lightning and show off sick shoulder tattoo Max Cancels. As with any of their videos, you can expect to see plenty of maximum damage options which include plenty of combos that kill opponents outright.
