Watch Street Fighter 5 Played by Two of the World's Best Combatants
More footage of Street Fighter V has emerged online, this time from a public exhibition involving two of the highest ranked players in the world.
Daigo Umehara, still best known for his electrifying Daigo comeback video, and his current worldwide number two rank on Street Fighter IV (according to Shoryuken), took on Bruce "GamerBee" Hsiang (ranked eighth) at the Taipei Game Show over the weekend.
The footage is somewhat familiar, with both Ryu and Chun-Li facing off against each other in the same city and noodles restaurant stage as in the reveal trailer. However it nevertheless offers more insight into how the game differs from Street Fighter 4, showing that Chun Li can now air-juggle with sweeps, and Ryu has an anti-air attack that can combo into a Dragon Punch.
Meanwhile, GamerBee is shown spending all three blocks of his EX gauge to enter a limited-time heightened state, where he streams out a succession of fireballs. Whether this can be used by all characters is still unclear.
Street Fighter 5 is a PlayStation 4 and PC exclusive, and publisher Capcom says owners of both copies can play each other online.
