On this week’s edition of Capcom TV, Tomoaki Ayano joined the show to discuss Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers‘ new touch screen control feature. Utilizing the Nintendo Switch’s touch screen, players will be able to have special attacks, such as the Shoryuken, Hadouken, Tatsumaki Senpukyaku and more right at their finger tips, simply by tapping an on-screen icon that seems to allow players to map up to four different special moves to the screen. This should prove to be an ideal feature both to newer players who may just be starting out with fighting games with USFII, as well as for world warriors looking to literally take the fight out into the streets.

Next, Ayano demonstrated one of the game’s new modes: Buddy Battle (otherwise known as Dramatic Battle). Similarly to the mode seen in the Street Fighter Alpha 3, Buddy Battle allows two players to team up together in a 2-on-1 handicap match against a computer-controlled opponent, with all three characters onscreen at the same time. The team shares a single life bar between themselves. In the video below, you’ll be able to see the iconic duo of Ryu and Ken do battle against M. Bison, and one of the Final Challengers, Violent Ken. Later on in the video, you can see a brief showcase of Street Fighter V‘s second Season 2 DLC character, Kolin. The action begins at the 16:30 mark.

Do any of these new features have you excited for USFII? Sound off in the comments!

This is Kolin’s second week in the wild, and she’s still proving to be one of the most interesting additions to Street Fighter V. If you’re considering picking up this character as a potential new main or pocket–or are already trying Gill’s assistant out–here’s a few more videos you’ll be interested in checking out.

VesperArcade is helping beginner Kolins out, with this breakdown of her normal attacks:

TrueUnderDawgGaming offers this guide to “everything you need to know” about Kolin, as well as a tutorial on some higher-difficulty combos:

Here’s a showcase of the upper limits in damage that can be achieved with Kolin’s combos:

Echo Fox|Momochi continues to work with Kolin, as shown in this video:

VesperArcade has also shared his efforts to rank up online with Kolin (while showing off a Jill BSAA mod for SFV on PC); watch it here:

One of the easier mods to do with today’s 3D fighting games is swapping moves from one character to another. With Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 now on PC, it should come as no surprise that some players are trying out exactly that.

A player by the name of pat728 has been playing around with UMvC3 on PC, creating some move swaps for certain characters; now, as is usual with this these things, the swapping isn’t as straightforward as you think. In this case, some effects–and even entire moves–change quite drastically.

The most complete move swap in this collection is for Hsien-Ko, giving her Wolverine’s moves. Here, the former seems to take to the latter’s moveset naturally and with few issues, and being able to pull off one of Wolverine’s bread and butter combos perfectly. However, there are some differences, the most obvious one being how the Fatal Claw hyper combo acts differently, tracking the opponent instead of forming an “X” as it usually would.

Next up is something pat728 call’s “Artinel,” basically being Arthur with Sentinel’s moves. At this point the swap isn’t complete and Arthur isn’t able to call in drones like Sentinel–he performs the motion, but no drones are summoned. Despite this, it’s interesting to see how Arthur’s model actually works quite well with Sentinel’s animations.

This next move swap is even less complete. The swap involves giving Magneto’s moveset to the Mayor of Earth himself, Mike Haggar. The preview video only shows off his neutral stance and  some moves, but with no effects yet, meaning he’s technically unplayable. What’s interesting, however, is how he now has the spinning speed line effect around him from his lariat move as a replacement for the trailing shadow effect on Magneto’s arms.

Pat728 isn’t the only person doing move swaps, Cole Diamond has also put up a couple of videos demonstrating some of his own move swaps. First up is a pretty straightforward swap with Nemesis using Super Skrull’s moves.

Less straightforward is the Mental Organism Designed Only for Kicking: M.O.D.O.K. with Chun-Li’s moveset, floating eyes, but without the rest of its face.

Of course, these aren’t the only mods that are being made for UMvC3 on PC. Check out our previous coverage of a stage mod that finally makes Galactus’ stage playable.
