The Magic of WolfKrone and C. Viper
Maybe you caught some of WolfKrone’s magic during the EVO 2K11 tournament earlier this year. Maybe you didn’t. Whatever the case, it’s because of players like WolfKrone that Crimson Viper is slowly becoming a top-tier character in Super Street Fighter IV (and Arcade Edition too, of course). He is easily the best Viper player in the United States. Check it out.
Ryu and Ken at the Supermarket
There’s a mutual respect between these guys, but Ryu doesn’t seem to know how to control his powers. Watch where you’re pointing that thing!
SSFIV:AE Yang Combo with Four Focus Attacks (Video)
So, we all know how good Daigo is getting at using Yun in Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition
Desk has a fantastic demo video using Yang in SSFIV:AE where he executes a combo utilizing four focus attacks. That’s bloody amazing. Just about everyone likes starting out a combo with a focus attack, but this is the first time I’ve seen four FAs intermingled in there. That’s some careful timing to be sure. Also helps that it gets capped off with an ultra combo to boot. Crazy.
The first half of the video shows the combo as-is, while the second half splits the screen with Desk’s hands to show you the timing and how it’s done.
On a semi-related note, Super Street Fighter IV: Volt was just released for the iOS platform (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch). It has 18 characters, including Cody, and online multiplayer over Wi-Fi. Pretty sweet.
