Novril, in association with his small Chemical Lovers team, recently released the first video in a new series of tutorials designed to help players get into the world of Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-. Since this is the first episode, the topics touched upon are ground-level basic, but that’s the point. As the video points out–and as we all know–getting into fighting games as something more than a method of whiling away the hours with random button slapping can be a daunting task.

In the tutorial, viewers will find comparisons between classic Street Fighter attacks, like Ryu’s crouching forward and Hadouken and the standing slash and crouching slash that most of the Xrd cast possess. They’ll also learn about combo and input notation, the proper (standard) button layout as well as receive a general overview for general goals of any match.

If you’ve spent some time looking into Cody technology in Ultra Street Fighter IV, chances are you’ve run across the name GroundedSF. This proponent of planted shanks has dedicated (almost) a whole YouTube channel to shrugging off Cody’s boredom, typically in the form of nuanced combo options that may not always be readily apparent.

The most recent video to hit the channel features some options for the medium version of Criminal Upper. For instance, sometimes Cody’s knife combos prevents him from being able to connect with a jab Criminal Upper after a series of hits. In this situation, the strong version of the move can be used to make sure that combo damage rounds out nicely against specific members of the cast.
