With Street Fighter V providing a fresh start for the community, we’re now at that rare moment when just about everyone is on an even playing field. However, that won’t last long as players start to level up their games. To help competitors looking to get a leg up, we’ve compiled a number of videos demonstrating combos, setups, and other tactics for a number of characters.

First up is a combo video from LiangHuBBB highlighting real match strategy. In other words, the combos here represent practical combos and punishes that should be useful to most players.

Speaking of Ken, FightingMachineVs’ DarkWing-ZERO notes that his crouching fierce uppercut is a good combo starter on counter-hit thanks to his command run V-Skill. In the video below, he showcases three juggle combos that utilize this tech.

Zangief is a character who, at first, feels like he doesn’t really have much in the way of combos. But as this video from Sebastian Rikk demonstrates, his ability to link into his command grab super means that he can easily convert into huge damage off simple pokes.

One of the big changes in Street Fighter V is that hard knockdowns only come from Crush Counter sweeps. To help players get the most out of this with Chun-Li, Kararesu recently shared a video showing some interesting (if rather hard to pull off) setups for after knocking down an opponent.

Fan favorite R. Mika has made her long awaited return in Street Fighter V, and Rsonist put together this tutorial video showing off some of her bread and butter combos and practical setups for players looking to pick the wrestler up.

In their latest video, GLHFtv demonstrate some combos and resets that Laura can use to deal decent damage in the corner. Most of the resets come from using her Thunder Clap projectile to keep opponents standing after a combo, so this is a good concept to become acquainted with if you’re looking to develop similar setups.

For our final video in this roundup, Fighters Generation has provided a demonstration of both basic and advanced combos for newcomer Necalli. Apart from gameplay, they also share a theory about the backstory of this mysterious fighter, positing some connection to the Illuminati and Street Fighter III boss Gill.

And that’s it for our first official Street Fighter V roundup! If you have something you’d like featured on the front page, you can send it to us via our tipline.
