While everyone who plays Ultra Street Fighter IV likely has at least a basic understanding of how white health works, there’s a good chance that some elements of the mechanic remain a mystery. In order to help alleviate any confusion, Bafael–known for his character tutorial and game mechanic breakdown videos–recently put together a quick demonstration which shows how this temporary damage can affect a match.

Bafael covers things like how being stuck in block stun negates the regeneration of “real” health, how Gen’s super combo can be used to net kills and the conditions required for that to happen, and plenty more.

Whether you’re a veteran of the Street Fighter IV series or you only just recently let your first focus attack rock, there’s a good chance you’ll learn something new.

Ultra Street Fighter IV’s upcoming Omega Mode add-on is gaining a lot of attention, and for good reason. This new edition of the long-running series grants each fighter a bevy of new gameplay options, many pulled from past incarnations, providing players a uniquely entertaining experience outside the normal, built-for-competition Street Fighter IV.

Earlier this weekend, Capcom’s Tomoaki Ayano shared Omega breakdowns for a handful of fighters, a Saikyo Blog write-up that he then followed with a live presentation from the venue of Capcom Pro Tour Asia’s finals, GameStart 2014, last night.

While many of these changes were described in the aforementioned blog (and some have even been showcased in the various exhibition matches held since the mode was announced), each of the original eight world warriors was given a solo spotlight to show off a new combo or tactic that will be available to them during the presentation.

If you missed out on the live broadcast, you’ll find an archive below. Ayano’s Omega Mode segment begins around 5:46:54.

While certainly not the biggest game at this year’s Fall Classic, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R still brought out plenty of players from the scene hungry to get in some tournament play before the console release of Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- later this year.

Below, you’ll find embedded footage of the winners finals between Jin’s Dizzy and B.Z.B.’s Chipp, the losers finals between Jin and Blake&White’s Order Sol, and the final showdown between B.Z.B. and Blake&White. Though he was coming from the losers bracket, B.Z.B. shows clear dominance closing out the tournament with a bracket reset and then going on to victory without giving up a match.

For archived footage of the rest of Guilty Gear’s top eight, head over to Team Spooky’s channel.

Ultra Street Fighter IV’s Dan and Evil Ryu don’t have a lot in common. Sure, they both have Dragon Punches and can chuck plasma–though Dan’s take on “plasma” pales in comparison to Evil Ryu’s–but that’s where the similarities end. Evil Ryu feeds on the souls of his enemies while Dan eats cans of cold beans over his sink to save himself the trouble of doing dishes later. That’s what makes the latest entry to cjbqulix’ Redux Combo series so unique: it puts this Street Fighter odd couple back to back and shows that even though Dan’s tools differ greatly from the current champion of the shoto archetype, he can still pull off some pretty sweet strings in the right hands.

Below, you’ll find footage of high-execution combos for both of these fighters. In true combo video fashion, cjbqulix makes use of Decapre’s Psycho stream to squeeze out some extra hits, allows Balrog to let a full Turn Around Punch rip for back to back Ultras from each fighter, and also includes some nice use of Dan’s super taunt as well.

Whether you’re a fan of serious combos or prefer a more laid back approach, this video has something you’ll enjoy.

After four separate qualifiers in China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, Capcom Pro Tour Asia’s grand finals event is set to crown a champion at GameStart 2014. It’s been a long road, but only one player out of the eight strong competitors will be guaranteed a spot at Capcom Cup in December.

RZR|Xian, RZR|Gackt, MCZ|Daigo Umehara, AVM|GamerBee, Leslie, CCG|Humanbomb, Poongko, and Jiewa will face off in a grueling round-robin format, giving each player a chance to match up against their fellow competitors and see what they are made of in Ultra Street Fighter IV.
