Arturo Sanchez Shares Massive Collection of Street Fighter V Beta Matches

Even though the final Street Fighter V beta weekend now seems far behind us, top players in the community still have plenty of new footage to share. One such batch of match videos comes from Team Spooky’s Arturo “Sabin” Sanchez. As you might expect, he has taken to spitting fire and slapping opponents with Dhalsim’s elastic limbs.

On top of fighting veterans like Evil Geniuses’ Justin Wong, Sabin went up against a few of the fresher faces looking to make a name for themselves in the era of Street Fighter V, including THE COOL KID93. We’ve embedded several matches below, and you can find more videos featuring Sabin’s Dhalsim at Team Spooky After Hours.

While typical shenanigans abound in his latest combo video, Desk adds a bit of extra flair in the form of HP bars, floating damage numbers, and other genre tropes. Check it out below and let us know what you think.

Japanese Rockers Man with a Mission Provide Street Fighter V’s Official Theme Song

Street Fighter IV’s theme song, the infamous “Indestructible,” was one of the most memorable parts of its launch back in 2009. Thanks to the ridiculously awesome stylings of The Next Door, the refrain will forever be ingrained in the memories of Street Fighter fans everywhere.

Now, Capcom has tapped Japanese rock band Man with a Mission to do the unthinkable: follow-up that iconic track with one of their own for Street Fighter V. The announcement quickly spread, but only now has the song become available to the masses thanks to today’s release of the group’s latest album, The World’s on Fire.


 

Founded in 2010, Man with a Mission gained attention for the distinct wolf masks they wear during public appearances. Anime fans may be familiar with their track “Raise Your Flag,” which was used as the opening theme for Mobile Suit Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans. Prior to Street Fighter V, they worked with Capcom to provide the commercial theme song for Lost Planet: Extreme Condition.

What do you think? Is “Survivor” the next “Indestructible,” or will Street Fighter IV’s theme continue to live on in the hearts of the fighting game community? In any case, the single is currently available for purchase on Amazon Japan if you want to pick it up.
