Catch Some New Tech for the Returning Street Fighter V Cast in This Season 2 (Day 2) Roundup

We are 48 hours into Season 2, and the new tech keeps rolling in. Everyone is in the lab finding stuff they refuse to save for nationals, and everyone is on the hunt for all things that will help them elevate their game in Street Fighter V. So without further adieu, here is our Day 2 Roundup.

It seems that desk is busy as a bee this week, buzzing about in training mode. With Season 2 as a pseudo-Christmas present for the combo maestro, he’s producing a ton of content. In this video, he revisits the perennial world warrior Ryu, and goes over new combos for Season 2 of Street Fighter V. With many of his moves altered in the update, it seems that the shoto’s combo potential has opened up significantly.

However, not all is coming up roses for Juri, as it does appear that Laura has a tool to beat her Critical Art.

Back to talking about Season 1’s official heel, R. Mika. Here are some new Season 2 combos for R. Mika. It seems like the Irish Whip nerf hasn’t quite deterred the wrestler.

Moreover, UltraChen found a new hit confirm into Mika’s critical art.

Finally, we have a new Urien meaty setup that will add more danger to being in the corner against him.

Tune in tomorrow for more of that meaty tech you crave! (And thanks to everyone that sent in tips!)

Battle of Gods: Mago Takes on Tokido in This Street Fighter V Online Akuma Mirror Match

As many of you already know, Hajime “Tokido” Taniguchi has once again picked up Akuma, taking him through a tear online in Street Fighter V. That said, Tokido isn’t the only Japanese “god” who’s picked up the Raging Demon.

The self-professed “2D God,” Kenryo “Mago” Hayashi has also seemingly started to learn how to play Akuma in Street Fighter V. With both players occupying the upper echelons of Street Fighter V’s online rankings, it wouldn’t be long before they eventually faced off against each other online.

For those wondering how this battle turned out, YogaFlame24 has recorded the replay of their clash and shared it on YouTube.

In conjunction with the release of Athena’s The King of Fighters ’98 retro outfit, Yasukuyi Oda has announced via the PlayStation Blog that version 1.10 of The King of Fighters XIV will launch on January 11th, 2017. If you are not yet aware, this update drastically improves KOFXIV’s visuals, by overhauling the lighting engine and improving the shader quality for all of the cast.

As well as these graphical improvements, version 1.10 of King of Fighters XIV adds two new color palettes to every fighter on the roster, and a special demo ver.2 will be released ahead of the full update for fans to get to grips with this new version. Do be aware that version 1.10 will not contain any balance changes, it will just contain the graphical upgrades.

You’ll be able to see KOFXIV’s new coat of paint in motion at the Four Kings Tournaments for The King of Fighters World Championship in February; expect more big updates from SNK in the new year.
