Power Through V-Reversals with This Alex Punish Guide for Street Fighter V

Developing anti V-reversal tech seems to be on the top of many players’ lists at the moment, with several Street Fighter V technicians creating new tactics to deal with this defensive measure. Focusing on the bare-chested brawler Alex, e mc has developed some specific anti V-reversal tech which mainly revolves around the lack of grab invincibility on all V-reversals and the power of Alex’s Parry.

Using moves like standing light punch to bait a V-reversal, Alex can command grab on reaction to the reversal flash. In V-trigger, Alex can use Lariat as a bait, to then follow up with a Parry read to lead into a combo. The punish window following a Parry is quite long, leaving Alex players a decent amount of time to follow up with big damage. Besides Chun-Li and Ken, Alex can use a Parry to react to a V-reversal off of his standing medium punch or most jump-ins. Chun-Li and Ken’s V-reversals are too quick to react to following a standing medium punch, but you can do a reaction Parry off of a jump-in.

Rashid, F.A.N.G, Nash, and Vega cannot have their V-reversal parried, due to theirs being rolls or dashes away, while Zangief’s V-reversal is invincible to everything except grabs. e mc suggests some possible ways to deal with their reversals at the very end of the video. Get tinkering in the lab and see what you can come up with.

World of Warcraft – How Legion Changed WoW

In recent years MMOs have made some big changes. Over time games had been built on this giant leveling curve. Warcraft itself had zones which you played through in times to level up and then basically never went to again. This created a huge vacuum which left most of the surface of Azeroth empty as players moved on. However, Legion has really made the push to utilize the whole continent, something that Warcraft should be looking at in the future.
