Street Fighter 5: 20 Kikokens in a row KO Daigo, counter-hit combos, and more - a closer look at new things seen during TaiPei Game Show
If you happened to catch the exhibition, you may have noticed the moment everyone has been talking about. During the second round of the bout, Gamerbee entered the new mode specific to Street Fighter 5 (some refer to this as Chun-Li's water effect mode).
In this mode, Chun's Kikoken shoots twice instead of just once, and because of this Gamerbee was able to lock down Daigo with a barrage of fireballs.

Granted, the game is still only about 20% complete, but if things remain unchanged in this regard, Chun players can look forward to frustrating their opponents with a sea of fireballs.
We aren't sure what the specifics of this new mode are, but we can see that neither Gamerbee's Revenge nor Super meter depleted during this onslaught.
In the animated GIF below, you'll see Gamerbee jump in with a counter-hit heavy kick on Daigo. He then proceeds to link three crouching jabs into a crouching light kick, followed by Lightning Legs for a solid juggle combo.
Daigo answers back, however, landing a meaty standing heavy kick after a throw, then combo-ing into sweep. These two sequences are the best examples of combos using links and meaty attacks we've seen so far.
