Players, Start Your (Feng Shui) Engines! Useful Juri V-Trigger Combos for Street Fighter V

YouTube user VesperArcade recently gave use some videos showing off Juri’s bread ‘n’ butter combos. This time, he brings us combos that she can do perform when her V-Trigger, Feng Shui Engine Type Alpha, is activated–giving Juri access to Fuharenkyaku specials without having to store them, and gaining the ability to cancel normals you wouldn’t normally be able to. VesperArcade breaks down which normals and specials can be cancelled into the V-Trigger, as well as various links to extend combos for further damage.

One interesting aspect about this combo video: VesperArcade shows which V-Trigger combos to use effectively–ones that consume precious V-Gauge meter, as well as ones that don’t consume too much and can be ended with EX or non-EX specials instead. This will give Juri users ideas of how to balance her damage-dealing resources and her mix-up game to open up their opponents.

Bandai Namco Addresses Tekken X Street Fighter Status & Possible New Tekken 7: Fated Retribution Characters

Bandai Namco Brand Manager Mark Religioso recently spoke about his company’s decision to focus on fleshing out Tekken 7: Fated Retribution’s story mode; in the full Dualshockers interview below, Religioso speaks optimistically about the forthcoming console release of the latest Tekken title and how his company has been “fine tuning the game” during the time it has been available in Japan’s arcades. He regrettably informs viewers that the development of Tekken X Street Fighter is officially on hold, noting that with their focus being on Fated Retribution, it wouldn’t be the “best time” to release the long-awaited crossover. Back on the positive side, he teases that there will be even more new characters joining the game’s roster, and that there should be an announcement regarding that soon.
