One Of The Best Street Fighter Players Just Released Their Personal Combos For Every Character

If you’ve ever played any Street Fighter at all in your life, the name Justin Wong will probably ring a bell. Even if you haven’t played Street Fighter or any fighting games, you’ve probably heard the name before. The 30-year-old EVO champion has been the focus of various documentaries, and he’s long been held up as the last line of defence for North America’s fighting game community.

On top of that, he’s a good guy. And that image has only been further strengthened today, with the multi-title champion releasing his list of combos for Street Fighter 5 — for every single character.

The Evil Geniuses player has made everything available through Google Docs, with simple universal, advanced and crush counter combos for every character. It’s not a full, exhaustive breakdown for each character, nor is it a comprehensive summary of the strengths or weaknesses of each of those characters.

If you’re looking for tips on how individual characters actually play, Wong hasn’t provided that either. This is simply just a starting point for people when it comes to learning combos for the characters, something you can work off before building around matchups, overall strategy and your general playstyle.

But what a starting point. Here’s the full list:

These are my personal combos with the character. They may not be the best but these are combos that will help you learn the game and create your own combos in the future.
