It was only a matter of time. With Urien’s damage potential and desk’s insane amount of skill and understanding of the mechanics of games, finding a 100% combo was inevitable. One week after his release, here we are. Desk has, in fact, found a 100% Urien combo. Do keep in mind that this combo is specific to Dhalsim and requires the Urien reflecting his Critical Art in the corner with an Aegis Reflector in order to do the max damage.

As stated in the description of this video, desk utilizes the no-knockdown glitch that he discovered and explained previously in both combos featured in this video. Entirely situational, but entirely excellent to behold.

Dictator got you down?

If battling Lord Bison is giving you trouble in Street Fighter V, perhaps a bit of assistance from Zissou’s most recent match-up guide will help. Like in previous match-up videos, Zissou breaks down M. Bison’s unsafe moves and frame disadvantages to give you a eye for when you can most effectively punish your opponent–including how Bison’s moves are modified by his V-trigger state.

Thanks to Andrew for the tip.

Urien fever has well and truly gripped the Street Fighter V player base, as seen by our plethora of roundups and highlights of the suited Illuminati leader. One player who has really found their niche with Urien has been cR|SonicFox, the Mortal Kombat and Skullgirls wunderkind. The man seems to be racking up sets against some of Street Fighter V’s US talent, having previously faced off against TS|Sabin’s Dhalsim in an intense first to 10 set.

Now, SonicFox has set his sights on Liquid|NuckleDu’s Nash, fighting him in a number of sets online. As you well know, if there is a good set somewhere on the CFN, XusesGB is there to capture the footage and cut it together into a single compilation. Check out the first to five below, which sees the set going all the way to game 10, with both competitors trading games right up to the end. SonicFox could be on his way to dominating yet another fighting game if he continues training with some of the USA’s best.
