Kyohei “MarlinPie” Lehr is used to being the lone wolf American in a Guilty Gear field predominantly filled by Japanese players. His top 8 finish at Evolution 2016 has ensured his spot at Arc Revo–Arc System Works’ annual tournament final–and it will be more of the same, with two other international players in the field–a Korean and American player each.

In this interview at CEOtaku, Red Bull eSports talked with MarlinPie about his training habits, who states that he practices less and focuses on countering players more by watching videos of their play and understanding their possible setups. He further talks about his confidence after a patch that saw the nerfing of Johnny and the elimination of his unblockables. He also talks about his plans of an extended stay in Japan after Arc Revo.

When Urien was first announced for Street Fighter V, the one thing that many people looking forward to was his Aegis Reflector. This character-defining move was the source of a lot of resets, setups, and combos in Street Fighter III 3rd Strike, and many expected it to be the same in Street Fighter V. The actual Urien that players got in-game definitely hasn’t disappointed–with the Aegis Reflector becoming quite the source of a lot of stuff for Urien in Street Fighter V.

This latest video from Dr. Fatbody showcases some of the crazy and stylish resets, setups and combos that Urien can do with Aegis Reflector and the rest of his Street Fighter V toolset. There’s a lot to digest here, from resets in situations where you wouldn’t expect them, to meaty setups off his throw that lead to extended combos off crush counter.

Check out the video below.
