General: Storybricks Closing Down

Storybricks Closing Down

A Tweet from the Storybricks team just cropped up on Twitter that indicates that the company is closing its doors. This comes quickly after last week’s announcement by Daybreak Game Studio that it had severed ties with Storybricks for EverQuest Next.

Kenshi Revealed in Mortal Kombat X Mobile Screenshot

Thanks to the release of a brand new screenshot of the upcoming Mortal Kombat X mobile port, we now know that Kenshi will appear in the series’ next installment in some form when it drops next month.

The blind swordsman, who has been teased by creative director Ed Boon in the past, played a big part in the earlier portions of the ongoing Mortal Kombat X comic, and his son Takashi Takeda will be playable alongside fellow newcomers Cassie Cage and Jacqueline Briggs.

The image in question shows Kenshi taking on Outworld emperor Kotal Kahn in the mobile version’s unique card-based gameplay system, making use of a Possessed variation that is as of yet unexplained. Interestingly enough, this screenshot can only be found through IGN’s mobile app, and the corresponding page on their website features no such picture.

Due to the odd way in which this was revealed, it’s still unclear if Kenshi will show up in the main game or be confined to this handheld version. As the mobile port of predecessor Injustice: Gods Among Us featured two exclusive characters of its own in Darkseid and Static, this is far from confirmation that this veteran will appear elsewhere.

Feel free to check out the aforementioned screenshot below and let us know what you think.

Toss Peach’s Turnips in Style with These Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Combo Tutorials

If you’re looking to get a better grasp on how the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom handles fights in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, these two tutorials from EOE are an excellent place to get started. The combos vary in damage output as well as difficulty, some require platforms on stages like Battlefield, but they’re all good to have in mind when looking to optimize any situation as Peach.

To help make things easier to pick up, EOE edited in an input display to show not only the buttons pressed to complete each string of attacks, but the timing as well. Since these are Smash combos, EOE has also included in the video’s description the damage percentage ranges in which they can be performed to help keep errors low.
