Month: September 2015

The road to Bandai Namco Tekken 7 global tournament THE KING OF IRON FIST TOURNAMENT 2015 kicks off in Japan! On Saturday September 26 is the OSAKA CHALLENGE, followed on Saturday October 26 by the TOKYO CHALLENGE, the first round of qualifiers in Japan for the global tournament.

Each Challenge will have a Women’s 1on1, Student 3on3 and Open 3on3 division, with prize pools of 150,000 yen, 300,000 yen and 500,000 yen, respectively. The winners of each women’s division will qualify for the GRAND FINAL directly, while the winning teams from student and open divisions qualify for JAPAN ROUND in November, with the chance to then qualify for the GRAND FINAL.

If you’ve been looking for some Tekken 7 action this weekend, Osaka Challenge is currently live on Niconico Live. If you have a Niconico account, be sure to tune in, and remember to also check out the Tokyo Challenge when it goes down next Saturday.

The Beefy Smash Doods are at it again, this time bringing ultimate pain to one unfortunate target with two sets of fists. Thanks to the intelligent abuse of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U’s mechanics, the team pulls off some seriously absurd strings: Diddy gets a chance to fully charge his peanut gun, Jigglypuff lands two Rests, and Captain Falcon gets one of the most beautiful alley-oops into his knee that I’ve seen.

The creators do note a few things in the videos’ description that warrant a mention here as well: footstools don’t allow the affected player to tech, and jab locks force characters into a standing animation during which they’re vulnerable to whatever their enemy chooses to bop them with. Additionally, since these combos were obviously staged, DI isn’t taken into account.

You’ll probably never see them in a doubles tournament, but that doesn’t make these combos any less satisfying to behold.
