'Street Fighter V' commentators' sound effects save the day after audio cuts out

Live broadcasts always have the looming possibility of interruptions or problems, and it takes true talent to turn a disastrous situation into an entertaining one when the cameras are rolling and you can't yell cut.

As Street Fighter V competitors Bryant "Smug" Huggins and Arturo "Sabin" Sanchez were trading blows in a Next Level Battle Circuit match Wednesday, the game's audio cut out, leaving commentators Michael "IFC Yipes" Mendoza and Francis "Lee Chung" Lee Chong with quite a bit of silence to fill. So the duo started dishing out their own sound effects.

IFC Yipes and Lee Chung mimicked punches, fireballs, slides, character voice lines and even the Halloween stage's environmental sounds to bring the game back to life.

Not only are the improvised sound effects entertaining to watch on their own, the two commentators were cracking themselves up with their Street Fighter impressions, making it that much more fun.

Yipes has been giving his colorful voice to the Capcom fighting game community for years and was even the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 champion at Evo 2007, so he knows a thing or two about the sounds viewers should be hearing in a match.

The game's silence persisted throughout the entire match until Sabin lost and returned to his usual spot on the production side of the event to fix the problem.
