While the change list that was previously posted was ultimately reported to not be for the final build, it has offered us some clues as to what direction Capcom is going with Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. Their universal changes to throws and V-Triggers seem to be the most telling, and could prove to be the most game-changing.

VesperArcade broke down the potential implications of these two changes in the video below. With the changes in damage scaling for V-Trigger confirms into combos, he speculates that while it will do a great deal in preventing certain characters from getting instant comebacks off of one V-Trigger confirm, it will also be at a detriment to characters with single use V-Triggers, such as Ed and Nash. He also speculates that an increase in active frames on throws will improve tick throw games which were made difficult by the tight window in which to do them, as well as meaty throws which had a strict timing due to the throw invulnerability frames on wakeup.

We have known that Goku Black — the genocidal doppleganger of Goku — will be a part of the playable cast in Dragon Ball FighterZ for about a month following scans from V-Jump magazine. While we were recently able to get a little bit more info from Maximilian from his play of the character, we now have an official introduction from Bandai Namco themselves.

The official character trailer shows quite a bit of what Goku Black is capable of, including assists from Future Zamasu. This character looks outright crazy, and is sure to get fans excited for the game — which comes out January 26 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

The original Killer Instinct for the was a high water mark for in terms of in-game visuals. Through their work with pre-rendered assets, Rare was able to create impressive graphics that looks years ahead of the competition. The latest episode of Digital Foundry’s DF Retro series takes a look at just how Rare pulled this off.

Technically, a good chunk of the episode is dedicated to Killer Instinct‘s stablemate, Donkey Kong Country. That said, there’s still a lot to learn about the original Killer Instinct on arcade, SNES, Nintendo 64, and even the GameBoy due to the fact that, unlike other DF Retro episodes, people from Rare who worked on the game are here to give more input on how they made these amazing looking games.

The Killer Instinct portion of this video starts at about 38 minutes in. However a lot of what’s covered with the technology behind DKC also applies to KI.

Chun-Li has long been the bane of many people’s existence in Super Street Fighter II Turbo. While Guile can counter some of her impeccable air game, there some ranges that Chun can jump in at and neutralize him if you aren’t aware of what to do.

Most players default to committing to Flash Kick, which works in some scenarios but can be beaten clean or forced to whiff in others. This video guide — created by Golcarjack and Nothingness — mostly covers her air options, which are the most difficult to deal with as a Guile player.

Ryu main pdcsky has given himself the massive task of documenting Ryu’s optimal punishes and responses for every single match-up in Street Fighter V. It takes a real level of dedication to do this in video form, particularly for a character many in the community walked away from in Season 2.

He’s just finished the entirety of this ambitious series for Season 2 and combined it into a single, easy to digest playlist. This is an excellent start for rookie players who want to learn how frame data works, and as a study guide for veterans.
