Defend the Midscreen with This Guile V-Trigger Setup for Street Fighter V

Since his addition to the Street Fighter V roster, Guile’s V-trigger Sonic Boom barrage has become a regular feature (and threat) of his play, both as a combo extender and a pressure tool. If you’re a Guile player looking for some variation on his V-trigger options at midscreen, check out this setup from James Chen, from UltraChenTV. The key here is to utilize the final (or the last two) Sonic Boom(s) in the chain to create high-pressure mix-ups and ambiguous cross-ups.

There’s more Guile tech in our most recent Street Fighter V roundup as well.

Ryu’s Search for Battle Leads Him Out of Street Fighter and into the Real World

Forever in search of the next fight, the next challenge–where does Ryu’s search for meaning in battle lead him, when all digital opponents have been overcome? He’s mastered the Mu no Ken to calm the dark power of the Satsui no Hado, but is that all there is to becoming a true martial artist? There must be something more to strive for, a new battle to fight…

The fight is everything.

Thus, Ryu follows his fist out of the digital realm to seek new challenges in the real world. But he’s about to learn that as a video game sprite, there are certain limitations to what he can achieve in a three-dimensional setting.

Watch him learn this lesson in the video below, courtesy of BombArrow.
