Double Cross-Unders, Meaty Setups, and More: AutoMattock’s Twitter Is a Gold Mine for Urien Players in Street Fighter V

With the character having come out less than a month ago, many players are still in the lab looking for things they can use for Urien in Street Fighter V. One such person is the player formerly known as JiBbo, Wave Esports’ David-Paul “AutoMattock” Mattock.

For some time now, AutoMattock has been posting various pieces of tech for Urien on his Twitter account. The most well-known of these has to be this tricky double cross-under setup using Urien’s Aegis Reflector. Depending on the normal pressed, Urien can cross back under his opponent after the first cross-under.

In addition to these, he also showcases a lot of post-combo setups, such as this one using a meaty back strong punch to cover both kinds of knockdowns.

He further expands on that with this meaty standing fierce into hard to block setup here.

He also shares some complete combo-into-reset sequences, such as this 100% stun sequence against Birdie.

Here’s some further Urien lab work featuring some backdash and neutral jump punishes.

Of course, that’s not all that AutoMattock has shared. Check out his Twitter for even more stuff for SFV’s Urien.
