Improve Your Reactions with Street Fighter V’s Training Mode

Like many modern fighting games, Street Fighter V’s practice mode offers up a number of options to help budding competitors improve their skills. One such function, the ability to record more than one action for the training dummy, can be used to improve reactions.

As demonstrated by jmcrofts in the video below, by setting one recording to throw a fireball, the other to jump in, and the third to do nothing, you create an opportunity to test your counters in a safe, infinite environment.

While this might be the most obvious thing in the world to anyone familiar with fighting games, be sure to pass it along to someone who might be interested in learning Street Fighter V.

Iron Galaxy Shines a Light on Killer Instinct’s Updated Visuals

When Killer Instinct season three drops this March, new characters and stages won’t be the only additions to the rebooted title. Iron Galaxy Studios recently provided a quick look at the game’s updated visuals.

In a new blog post, Killer Instinct art director Chad Greene talks about what they’re doing to enhance its aesthetics. Most of this will come from a new dynamic lighting system that changes how players perceive what’s on the screen. “[Season one] had a ‘deep black’ look that many fans really loved, and we’ve gone back to it (with a ton of upgrades!), so you’ll see deeper darks and more ‘mood’ throughout all the stages,” Greene explains.

Other additions to the graphics include new reflection technology for the stages, as well as the re-introduction of screen space color adjustments that work with gameplay. Characters now get realistic bounce and fill lighting while also receiving strong rim lighting to help pull them out from the background.
