Evil Ryu Showcase By Desk (SSFIV:AE)
Yes, it may be true that Ryu is only the second best Street Fighter character, but that could change with some much needed Dark Hadou. Just look at all that extra chakra flowing around him.
We’ve already witnessed some of the craziest Oni combos in Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, but how does the intensified Ryu stand up? Check out this Evil Ryu showcase video put together by none other than Desk. That guy’s just nuts.
Feel the Wrath of Crazy Oni Combos (SSFIV:AE 2012)
We’ve already seen how great Daigo can be as Akuma, but what if we stepped it up to a whole other level of evil power? Below are two featured videos with Oni combos like you’ve never seen before. The first is from AE, and the second is from AE 2012 edition. Desk doesn’t mess around.
SSF4:AE and MvC3 EVO 2K11 Video Highlights
What’s that? You weren’t glued to the EVO live stream over the weekend? That’s okay, I guess, since I’ve pulled together some of the highlights from the weekend’s action.
Starting on the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 side, 8-year-old Noah really stole the show by breaking the top 50 out of a field of 1,500 competitors. This kid has some crazy fighting game future:
And here is Justin Wong getting eliminated from MvC3, despite being the biggest favorite going into the tournament:
The MvC3 grand final between eventual winner Viscant and runner-up PR Rog was something to behold too. Here’s the second part of the grand final. How PR Rog manages to get the reset (coming out of the losers bracket) is amazing:
And what about the Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition tournament? It also had well over 1,000 competitors, but everyone was betting that Daigo “The Beast” Umehara (using Yun) would be able to three-peat this championship. And then, he ran into the charismatic Poongko of South Korea. Beast killer!
The SSFIV:AE grand finals came down to Latif (C. Viper) and Fuudo (Fei Long). I’ll let you watch the video, bearing in mind that Latif was the one who effectively eliminated Poongko, Justin Wong, Tokido and Daigo.
