More combos from the desk of Desk
Feb 28th
Aside from possessing incredible skills, technique, timing and being like some sort of arcade stick god Desk is also pretty busy. After yesterday’s initial Street Fighter x Tekken combo vid he’s posted two more and they could blow you way almost literally. Just check these out and watch for the extended combos using both characters in a team (rather than yesterday’s vid when only one character was used) especially the Marduk and Ryu one in the top video – now that is amazing! And if you want an indepth description of how each combo breaks down then check out Desk’s blog.

And so it begins
Feb 27th
Desk has posted his first Street Fighter x Tekken combo vid, and as hoped and feared he finding some unbelievable combos that not only look cool but are incredibly damaging as well. Oh and he’s only using one character at a time and no tagging, which can only mean his next video will have characters almost dying from one continuous string of beatings. For more info on the video and the moves used check out Desk’s blog where it’s all finely detailed.
