A new entrant in the Street Fighter V series, Rashid relies heavily on keeping his foes off balance with a barrage of tricky special moves and mix-ups. Does he have what it takes to blow you away?
Street Fighter V Beta Laura Combo Video
Recently, Capcom put the beta back up for a small stress test. This new build featured the debut of Laura. Though her combo potential is surprisingly limited, I ended up really enjoying her. Many match videos to come, but for now, enjoy this combo video!
Street Fighter V Beta Ken Matches Part 1
Ken Masters enters Street Fighter V in a dramatically different state. While he still of the same general archetype as Ryu, he’s been tuned in a way that makes him a much more aggressive-minded fighter than ever. Tune in to watch me come to grips with Ken’s new tools!
Gaming and the Weak Canadian Dollar
A few years ago, the Canadian dollar began taking a tumble in terms of value. I’m not going to try and explain why, as the economics behind the values of each currency mystify me. However, it’s impact on video games has been abundantly clear. For a good stretch of time, the standard price of a disc-based game was $60. Last year, that crept up to $70. Now, $80 is the new norm. This might not even be the end of the increases, as the Canadian dollar shows no signs of improving in the immediate future.
Street Fighter V Beta Tutorial/Story Mode
Version 1.05 of the Street Fighter V Beta adds a tutorial mode to its package. It covers the basics, from how to move and jump, up until how to use your V-Trigger. Since none of this was present in Street Fighter IV, this is a good sign.
More interesting are the story ramifications on display. The cutscenes take place very early in the Street Fighter story, as Ryu and Ken are being taught by Gouken while Ken is sporting his Street Fighter Alpha ponytail. They even fight each other in their classic costumes, which could be a sign of what’s to come in terms of DLC costumes.
Street Fighter V Beta Rashid Impressions
Entering the fray for the first time is Rashid. A naturally agile guy whose abilities are boosted by the technology in his backpack, he attacks with an assortment of flying kicks and tornado-based attacks. Does he have what it takes to blow away the competition?
Street Fighter V Beta Necalli Combo Video
The Aztec warrior has been one of my most anticipated characters to play as in Street Fighter V. He’s a little more conventional than I thought he’d be, but I certainly found some fun uses for him within the context of this combo video. Get hype!

Street Fighter V Beta Rashid Matches Part 1
This marks the beginning of my match videos that I recorded during my limited time with the beta. Of the characters, I got the most time in with Rashid, so there will be more to come. That said, none of these videos will feature high level play, as I myself was more interested in exploring the game rather than being the best at it, but these are good to get a sense of what’s to come. Enjoy!
