In SSFIV v2012 Juri received some favorable improvements, mostly in her Feng Sui Engine Ultra Combo, as shown in this great combo video by MetallicMike.
One of those improvements is the range of the dash while in FSE which covers a longer distance now; certainly a welcomed addition for Juri players who can now pursue easier opponents trying to escape while FSE is active.
Check out the video after the break.
Cross Counter: Asia sure is putting out some content! Cross Counter Asia: Episode 2 is here and it starts out with some news and an EVO 2K11 preview and also does some analysis of a match between Gackt and Gameouttt. I wish they would lose the Wonder Twins opener, but I like this duo. Good stuff. Visit Cross Counter for more vids!
Here's the description from the vid: The Cross Counter expansion returns! Our Singapore friends Zhi and Xian present Cross Counter Asia, which will provide news and analysis of the fighting game scene with firsthand perspective from the other side of the globe. In this episode, the guys analyze Gackt and Gameoutttt's match from the recent HK vs SG 2.
Xian and Zhi of Cross Counter: Asia have started their own Excellent Adventures series. Like the original by Gootecks and Mike Ross, this duo trolls Xbox Live and pretty much body everybody. Aside from that cringe-worthy "Wonder Twins" moment at the beginning of the episode, I'm really digging the new show. Visit Cross Counter's channel for more vids!

Shintroy has put together an excellent beginner tutorial for the character, covering topics such as Hit-Confirms, Anti-Airs, Pokes, and Ultra and Super Combos. What is even better is that this tutorial has a menu system which takes you to the specific video for the topic you are interested in seeing at the time. It's very nice and informative and the music selection should get you motivated, even though I think Dudley likely listens to smooth Jazz or Classical myself. Anyway, check it out.

IPW's own Neidel "Haunts" Crisan wrote a great review for Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition for 1up.com. It's a good balanced overview of AE in my opinion, so if you are curious on his opinion on the game be sure to check it out here.
Here's an excerpt to get you started:
The one and only incredible Desk is doing his thing again! In this video he shows an 800 plus damage combo being performed against several characters. To feed the Yun haters out there even further, he has this to say:
After a little more testing, this isn't close to Yun's maximum damage combo. I stumbled across an 835 version vs Gief and I'm certain even that can be improved. To be continued...
What do you think?
UFGT7 went down a few weekends ago, and as expected it was a terrific event with lots of surprises. One of the biggest surprises for me were the Character Auction Tournaments. I watched the one for Super Street Fighter 4, and as someone who has watched a ton of streams it was a breath of fresh air and a great change of pace.
In this article I run down some of my personal highlights and my thoughts on this exciting spin on tournament play!
Excellent Adventures is back!! To get ready for the release of Arcade Edition on console, Gootecks and Mike Ross are BACK playing Super Street Fighter 4! Will they be reminded of why they stopped in the first place? Can they even find a match? Is anybody out there?

Capcom’s Seth Killian gave a few more details about the console version of Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition during the Team Sp00ky stream of the 2nd Annual Spring Fighter Tournament. It pertains mostly to how those who have upgraded can interact with players who have not and about balance changes between the coming console version and the actual arcade version.
Here is a summary, with the information courtesy of Eventhubs.
Capcom's Seth Killian has told Eurogamer that there are no more plans to continue the Street Fighter 4 series of games beyond Arcade Edition. Arcade Edition is coming to consoles in June and to PC later this year.
"The plan is this is the end of Street Fighter IV," Capcom fighting game guru Seth Killian told Eurogamer at Captivate last week.
"Arcade Edition will be the end of Street Fighter IV. What comes next? We'll see. But we aren't planning any more Street Fighter IVs."
Yoshinori Ono, the producer behind the series, has now moved on to Street Fighter X Tekken and other projects.
The tournament, which will be held this Saturday, March 19th at The Original Devaney’s in Winter Park, FL, will be doing a contribution to the RedCross for the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Victims Fund. 50% of the venue fee will go to the charity. So come out if you're in the central Florida area and be apart of a great tournament for a great cause. Link for Info CEOBarfights
Capcom's Yoshinori Ono, the producer for Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition, has tweeted that we can expect some kind of announcement regarding a home version after the launch of the Nintendo 3DS. Super Street Fighter 4: 3D Edition is one of the platform's launch titles, so it makes sense that Ono would concentrate efforts on getting that game out the door first before making further announcements.
Stay tuned! For those who want to read the tweets in question, you can find them in the article or you can hit Ono's twitter here.
