Super Smash Academy Helps Pick Up the Basics of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS

As with the release of any major game, there has been an understandable influx of tutorials on the basics of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS to help those interested in getting into the popular Nintendo title do so as painlessly as possible. Plenty of these tutorials are good, but these basic mechanics videos from Super Smash Academy are some of the better ones currently floating around. While this footage does focus on beginner-friendly concepts, it assumes that viewers have at least some understanding of how the game works.

Since basic knowledge is assumed, the videos are able to cover the concepts of using the directional stick to angle tilt and smash attacks and the benefits of doing so before moving on to cover many of the game’s defensive options as well as various methods of safe recovery. If you’ve found yourself having problems defending against incoming attacks, the sections on rolling, spot dodging, and air dodging should help you stay in the fight.

If you’re interested in making the transition from a more traditional 2D fighting background to the fast, free-form world of Smash, check out this guide.

Final Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Team List Released for 13th Cooperation Cup

13th_Cooperation_Cup_622_crop

With the 13th Cooperation Cup taking place this weekend, the organizers have released the final list of participants for the event.

As usual, the 5-on-5 team battle event has attracted some of the top Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike players in Japan, such as MOV, Tominaga, Boss, Kokujin, Pierrot, Vanao, Rikimaru, KSK, Nuki, and more. With a total of 86 teams (two of which still to be decided by same-day qualifiers), this makes the 13th Cooperation Cup possibly the largest Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike tournament in history.

Aside from the participants for the main event, the list also contains the participants for the special 5-on-5 side tournament that will take place before Cooperation Cup. Each team in this bracket will feature five players all playing the same character, though some–like Nuki and MOV’s two-man Chun Li team and RURIO and Ben’s two-man Yun team–have decided to limit themselves to smaller groups.

You can check out the list of participants below or on the official Google Doc.
