If you had a sudden resurgence of interest in Street Fighter 5 on your 2024 bingo card, then you likely just won. At the time of writing this, players are reminiscing about Street Fighter 6’s predecessor and sharing their favorite clips from back in those days.
As a result, one of the craziest Street Fighter 5 clips that has ever been recorded has resurfaced, and we’re highlighting it here again while the game enjoys another brief moment in the spotlight. If you don’t know about Broski’s Oro in Street Fighter 5, you’re about to learn.
So what is even going on right now and why is Street Fighter 5 being talked about again? Well, this all seemed to stem from a Christmas tournament ran by Tachikawa that generated a surprising amount of interest both in entrants and in viewers.
Couple that with the frustrations some players are feeling with Street Fighter 6 currently and you have the makings of this new burst of Street Fighter 5 attention.
A clip from popular content creator/pro player Broski was shared by the great HiFight on Twitter and even here in 2024 it still remains one of the most insane plays to ever happen in Street Fighter 5.
The footage originally came from one of Broski’s live streams from back in the day where he was engaged in an online match playing his trademark Oro in Street Fighter 5. Broski became popular in part due to his incredible execution and abilities with Oro, stringing together some amazing combos using his Tengu Stone V-Trigger.
During the match with a Ken player, Broski ends up cornering the opponent and baits a wake up throw with neutral jump, which results in him landing a big jump in. From here, he springs right into a hard-hitting Tengu Stone combo, and what follows is an incredibly calculated, intricate, and very difficult sequence to pull off.
Not only does Broski use several high level combo techniques for Oro here, including corner fireball loops, but he implements a microwalk and also perfectly calculates when the stun will happen.
After the stun, Broski’s Oro ends up on the other side of Ken and he uses his V-Skill orb to keep the crazy combo going with perfectly spaced attacks that allow the orb to stagger its hits and keep things rolling.
He closes the whole thing out with a few juggles into his Critical Art, and despite landing what several people called a “Desk” combo in an actual online match with total ease, Broski remains unfazed.
All he says at the end of it, without any expression or excitement on his face or in his voice is, “cool combo…”
