Akuma Gets Even More Dangerous with These New Street Fighter V Setups

It’s that time again: time to see how dangerous Akuma is getting in the hands of the dedicated lab monkeys in today’s Akuma roundup.

Toronto’s 50/50|KS Tali has been putting in a ton of wrench time in the lab, and it’s showing. He is coming up with setup after setup for Akuma. In the first video, he shows utilization of back fierce as an anti air with proper follow-ups.

Next we see a lot of meaty setups after sweep, plus throw loops and safe jumps.

Finally Tali shows us something a lot of people will dread to see, but Akuma mains will salivate over. Akuma does indeed have a vortex in Street Fighter V, thus making him insanely dangerous in this iteration.

It looks like Red Bull’s SnakeEyez is still hunting for a secondary–or a main–to replace Zangief. Here’s some of his matches using Akuma in Season 2.

Finally, we have Daityan becoming Tokido’s latest victim of one thousand deaths. It truly looks like the Murderface is back with a vengeance.

Peach Shows No Mercy with This Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Combo Video

Peach is not a very merciful person. If you have seen high-level Smash play with her before, that is no secret.

This new combo video, ironically titled “The Queen of Mercy,” shows Peach being her usual merciless self. In this video, Peach spends a good amount of her time tap dancing on her opponents’ heads, and then continues with some pretty grimy back throw setups into turnips.

Because after all, what good is a monarch who shows mercy to all?
