The Best Street Fighter V Streamers To Prep For Arcade Edition
By Jeff Kotuby ·
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is upon us, rebalancing all fighters and shaking the competitive landscape. It's time to brush up on your game. These SFV streamers will help!
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is out and about, and if you haven’t been practicing, you need some game film to study. These streamers are some of the best in the world when it comes to Street Fighter V, so maybe you can pick up one or two things while you watch. Even if you’re not keen on getting back into the scene just yet, these streamers are as entertaining as they are talented, so you’ll undoubtedly have a good time while you learn. Here are Twin Galaxies’ Best Street Fighter V streamers on the market right now.
Poongko
“The Angry One” is an avid Street Fighter V player and one of the most entertaining active players out there. Poongko burst onto the scene with his ridiculous Seth play in Street Fighter IV, and he continues to use oddball characters like Kolin and Abigail in SFV. While you won’t see Poongko lose often, it’s when he does that the stream gets good. You’ll get to see the legend that is Angry Poongko, the golden apple of any Poongko stream.
Sajam
Class is in session and Professor Sajam is ready to teach. All jokes aside, Sajam is a streamer you’ll definitely want to bring a pen and paper to watch - his info is that good. While he’s known around the community for his excellent breakdowns of high-level tournament play, Sajam is also a very strong player in his own right. He’s meticulous in his lessons, indicative of his vast knowledge about the game. If you’ve managed to arrive in the stream at a moment when he’s covering a problem matchup of yours, be sure to take notes.
Team Sp00ky
TeamSp00ky is the home for Next Level Battle Circuit, a high-level weekly tournament often featuring top dogs like RISE|Smug, PG|Punk, and more. Each Wednesday, hopefuls from around the New York metro area compete in some of the best Street Fighter V action around. With Arcade Edition out and ready to roll, you’ll be sure to see an influx of players head to Next Level, which will only increase the hype (and pot bonuses). These are some players who are about to throw down hard and some good competitive matches will undoubtedly be had.
BigPun1231
We’ve mentioned BigPun several times in past Twin Galaxies editorial runs, but he’s the real deal. Pun is one of the coolest, most down-to-Earth individuals who always responds to viewers in chat. He’s also a super solid Ryu player from the United Kingdom. He’s super knowledgeable about his character and the game and is always down to answer questions. If he doesn’t know the answer - his followers definitely will. If you’re looking for a mostly friendly and responsive Twitch community to help heighten your play or just feel good about being around, BigPun is worth your time.
LevelUp Live
The team at LevelUp Live is great for any west coast gamers looking to “level up” their Street Fighter V game. LevelUp Live is home to the long-standing Wednesday Night Fights, (WNF) where high level players from the southern California area duke it out every week. Sometimes the stream takes a wild turn, with live music and even some out-of-state players joining. When they’re not streaming WNF, sometimes industry veteran Alex Valle mans the streams, where he plays Street Fighter V online. Both the tournaments and Alex Valle mean this channel has variety that will keep things fresh in both competition and personality.
We know there are tons of great Street Fighter V streamers out there. Maybe your favorite didn’t make our list? Who’s the best watch for your time? Who brings the personality, knowledge, and skill to the SFV feed? We know our favorites. Who are yours?
