Master Bison’s Frame Traps and Pressure in Street Fighter V

Street Fighter V players who’ve taken to destroying opponents with psycho power now have another episode of Shadowloo Bootcamp to help them level up their Bison ability. In this installment, show host Ricardo “Mono” Roman hits on plenty of important topics ranging from how to turn your Bison into a walking frame trap to making the most out of anti-air situations.

Though the topics border on the more advanced side of fighting, this video is still quite beginner-friendly. Mono kicks things off with a breakdown of how frame data works, so those who’ve not yet taken a plunge into the numbers behind the game should have no trouble following along.

Aspiring Dictators would be wise to take a look at the rest of the Shadowloo Bootcamp series. You can find those videos by following this link.

Zangief’s Critical Art Storage Gives Him Even More Muscle Power in Street Fighter V

In a recent Street Fighter V upload, James Chen of UltraChen TV discusses the unusually long period of time he noticed passing between his 720 directional input and the pressing of a button that still allowed Zangief to throw out his Critical Art. Understandably confused (and possibly frustrated), James decided to sit down and see exactly what was going on and just how long he could wait between the motion and the button press to get the same results.

It turns out that there’s enough of a delay for the Red Cyclone to fill that gap between inputs with a few steps forward. This means that he can do something like, say, buffer a 720 while performing a standing fierce, step into range if the attack is block, press a second button, and dole out some devastating damage to his opponent.

Okay, so, alone, this is pretty sick, but James happened to be streaming when he discovered this technique, and some clever viewers asked if he could, instead of using a button press, perform the Critical Art through negative edging.

He could.

This means there are all sorts of new circumstances in which Zangief players can surreptitiously suplex their opponents. Forget protecting the Russian skies; the ground may never be safe again.
