Improve Your Ninja Skills with this Street Fighter V Ibuki Pressure and Setup Guide

Ibuki has always been known for having a wide variety of ways to keep opponents guessing, and her bag of tricks is bigger than ever in Street Fighter V. In a new video, PAN demonstrates how to make the most of Ibuki’s tools to create and maintain pressure while keeping opponents on their toes. Frame traps, meaties and a lengthy segment dedicated to proper V-Trigger placement fill this nearly eight minutes of footage.

As expected of a ninja, deception and technical know-how are two core factors in being a successful Ibuki player, and this video will certainly help make learning such a tricky character a bit less overwhelming.

Eduardo Perez Says He Feels ‘Complete’ Now that Balrog is in Street Fighter V

The Daily Dot’s latest Best of III features an interview with our favorite smiling slugger, Evil Geniuses’ Eduardo Perez, better known as PR Balrog. In the interview, Perez talks about his hopes for Evo and his new attitude about Street Fighter V now that his trademark character is part of the game. He mentions his initial impression of Balrog was that he looked overpowered, referring to the high-damage exhibition displayed at the CEO reveal, but now that he has spent time with the character, he feels, in his words, “complete” and enjoys playing the game more than ever.

Eduardo is also asked about how the top contenders in the US will fare against the titans of Japan. You can hear his honest opinions on that and much more in the full interview.
