Evil Ry- er, Kage just dropped in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition this week, which means it’s time for combo creator extraordinaire desk to break another character.
Whether be from meter or just pure frame advantage, Kage has some of the most absurd loops in the game on nearly all of his specials. Heaven weeps for tall characters like Abigail and G, as they seem to get pegged by tiger-kneed air fireballs for full conversion. The sickest thing of all, however, might be the V-reversal conversion desk found in the videos above.
One of the newest entries on the Discord Store is the 5v1 online multiplayer PC game called Last Year: The Nightmare. During the game, five players cooperate to escape the Nightmare. But it’s not simple as there are a number of objectives to complete in order to make good the escape…and while being chased by a trio of deadly killers.
With a new patch for The King of Fighters XIV on the horizon, time is running out to create stylish combos based on the current set of frame data. Knowing this, Persona Entertainment put out what could potentially be their last combo video for the title in the current version.
Utilizing newcomer Najd, they offer two long and stylish combos that show off amazing usage of five bars, while also showing the full damage that Persona Entertainment is known for getting out of every character in the title.
Every new video game comes with a bug or two, but there are some that end up being more hilarious than others. Such is the case with a bug discovered in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
The bug in question involves Isabelle and her fishing rod. If two Isabelles try to catch an assist trophy at the same time, the one who snags it will end up locked in an infinite loop that summons a random character.
The glitch, which was demonstrated by TheAfroJow in the video below, looks pretty bonkers in action. The Isabelle who “wins” keeps spawning assists trophies (that’ll most likely end up winning the match for them). It would be totally overpowered — if not for the fact that items, like assists trophies, aren’t used in competitive play.
YouTuber Persona Entertainment has been on a mission to produce long, complicated, and flashy juggles for the entire cash of The King of Fighters XIV. Today, they try their hand at “Hurricane Upper” Joe Higashi.
If you like technical execution, there’s no shortage of difficult options to challenge yourself with when using the Muay Thai champ. In particular, his TNT punches can prove to be difficult to time and execute properly, but as seen in the video above, you can produce high damage combos and loops — including multiple 100% and stun combos.
There’s a good chance if you’ve played a video game or watched an anime — that should be all of you, theoretically — you’ve likely run into the voice acting work of Kyle Hebert. He’s the voice of Ryu for the past ten years, since Street Fighter IV — and that means, of course, he also got work as the recently released Kage in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. You might know him best from where he got his start in the industry, though: as Teen Gohan in Dragon Ball Z.
For those interested in the acting side of games creation, this is a great interview to listen to. Kyle shares his personal path into the industry, which sees him as one of the most prominent talents in the field — despite not starting
Japanese Super Street Fighter II Turbo players are known for their marathon sets, and a “Kumite”– where you play multiple players in first to threes in one straight shot — is exactly that. At Japan’s GameSpot Versus, they are often willing to accommodate amazing play and sets for anyone willing to run the gauntlet.
Mu — one of Japan’s best Dhalsim players — sat down to play a kumite against everyone in the venue. Showing off some amazing play on both sides of the cabinet, it’s a beautiful marathon to behold.
Ryu has given in to the Satsui no Hadou, giving him the ability to anime air-dash and wear LED horns. It also gave him a name change — He’s Kage, now — and a new character slot in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition! Capcom made the new “Eviler Ryu” available for download during Capcom Cup and players have, unsurprisingly already started dissecting the “returning” Shadow Shoto. Let’s see what the community has cooked up!
First, we have some basic bread n’ butter combos for meterless, V-Trigger 1, and V-Trigger 2 setups. Looks like Kage dragged Street Fighter IV’s FADC mechanic along with him!
Kage has a nice little crossup versus standing opponents with Air Tatsu.
From the Battle of the Bay to Evolution Championships 2018, the fighting game community has grown immensely over the years with the rise of esports. Though big organizations continue to invest in platforms and players, we can’t forget about the building blocks of the scene.
A new documentary from MR. Z takes a closer look at fighting games. Rather than focusing on the big and the glamorous, the video shows a different aspect of Mike “ElvenShadow” Boczar, the co-organizer of Frosty Faustings. ElvenShadow is seen at his home, during “Garage Gear” a monthly event he started to host from his very own garage. With setups supplied by its attendees, it’s a great example of the spirit of the FGC; the event welcomes multiple games as ElvenShadow tries to fit as many guests in his garage (and outside!) as possible. The video also shows Michigan’s Lennel “L-Train” Dinkins at Youmacon, an anime convention which is also a big event for fighting game enthusiasts.
Check out the short documentary from the fledgling video maker below and give him a shout out to support his future ventures with our community.
Wargaming and Mad Head Games have released the first gameplay trailer for the upcoming “action RPG MMO” Pagan Online.
