Nash Can Send Opponents to the Shadow Realm in Street Fighter V

Glitches are often the spice of a fighting game meal, providing a surprising kick that can turn even the most mundane situations into an entertaining experience. And despite being developed in this modern age, Street Fighter V isn’t without its own quirky bugs. We’ve seen Vega fly, we’ve seen the character select screen become a battlefield, and, now, we’ve learned Nash is capable of sending opponents to the Shadow Realm.

This knowledge comes courtesy of ShowdownGG’s Spenser Cheung, who captured the following glitch at last night’s Churning the Butter during a match between Pandora House teammates LPN and HooDaMan.

While we weren’t able to independently recreate this situation, what appears to happen is this: M. Bison, upon blocking a command normal, attempts a V-Reversal at the same time Nash activates V-Trigger. The resulting chaos jumbles the screen into a hilarious mess that’s only amplified by HellPocket’s stunned outbursts. Amusement aside, this does have the potential to affect the outcome of a match, depending on each player’s knowledge of the bug itself, so we hope to see it rectified soon.

Have you encountered this glitch before? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
