EG|Justin Wong Explains Rufus’ Normals in Ultra Street Fighter IV
Divekicking is great, and when it comes to altering the rules of physics to change a jump arc, few characters can compare to Ultra Street Fighter IV’s Rufus. But what about those times when cramming a foot into your opponent’s face just isn’t an option? Evil Geniuses’ Justin Wong recently held an online training session with an aspiring Rufus player and shared some of what he knows about the normals that the fast talking American brings to the fight for situations just like that.
Though Rufus isn’t exactly a footsies powerhouse like some characters, that doesn’t mean that his normal attacks are bad. In fact, he has some pretty powerful options. Wong demonstrates the best situations to use buttons like standing roundhouse to score a launch, the strongest choices for anti-airing, and he even shares why some combo enders aren’t the best idea under certain circumstances.
If you’re looking to harness the power of the Space Opera, this video is a great starting point.

More Pokkén Tournament Details Coming on January 23

Since its announcement last year, we haven’t really heard much about Pokkén Tournament, the Pokémon fighting game being developed by Bandai Namco Games under the supervision of Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada. The developers plan to rectify this, however, later this month during the next installment of Famitsu’s live monthly news broadcast.
No early information has been released as to what will be shared during the program, but he game’s official website has been updated with a new logo and renders for Lucario and Machamp.
The stream will be hosted on January 23 through Niconico at 7 PM JST (2 AM Pacific, 5 AM EST for North American viewers).
Pokkén Tournament is currently scheduled for an arcade release later this year.
