Whether you’ve personally been waiting weeks, months, or nearly a decade, Street Fighter V’s launch is finally upon us. To kick off this momentous event in style, the folks at California’s Folsom Street Foundry have teamed up with Twitch to bring about a stellar launch party.

Beyond standard launch event fare, viewers and attendees have the highly-anticipated exhibition match between musician Lupe Fiasco and Street Fighter legend, Mad Catz’ Daigo Umehara to look forward to. That exhibition is tentatively set to take place at 7:45 PM PST.

We’ve embedded the stream below for convenience, or you can head over to Twitch to join the chat. If you enjoy the exhibition match, don’t forget to show Honzo Gonzo some love. For full details on the event, head over to Capcom-Unity.

One of Birdie’s most important tools is his Hanging Chain, a ranged attack that uses his chain (as expected) to grab an opponent from afar. What some Birdie players may not know is that this move actually has different properties depending on the distance from which it is used.

In a new video, Nurtrient demonstrates how both the medium and heavy versions of Birdie’s Hanging Chain recover faster when they hit an opponent from afar. This means that he can follow up with a combo from a meaty afterwards on hit; doing so with the close version requires a counter hit.
