General: Marvel: Avengers Alliance 2: I Have an Obsession

Disney recently soft-launched the sequel to the Facebook/Mobile Marvel turn-based RPG, Marvel: Avengers Alliance in Australia, Sweden, and Denmark. I was also obsessed with the original game, but it was wildly Pay-to-Win, so I had to force myself to stop playing it. The sequel, Avengers Alliance 2, is only on mobile and sports a snazzy new 3D aesthetic, so curiosity lead me to figure out a way to play it and I can honestly say I’m already equally obsessed with the damn thing.

Catch a Slow-Motion Look at Street Fighter V’s Flashy Critical Arts

With the removal of the Ultras introduced in Street Fighter IV, Supers (now known as Critical Arts) are once again in the forefront in Street Fighter V.

In a new video, Tipsy Sparrow helps us get a closer, longer look at these moves by slowing down their animations. This allows us to the amount of detail that the developers actually put into these extensive attacks. This includes almost every launch character with the exception of F.A.N.G thanks to their inclusion in the latest beta,

As a bonus, Tipsy Sparrow also provides a slow-motion version of the infamous Evo Moment #37 parry with Chun-Li and Ryu, so be sure to stick around until the end.

Dezmu Talks All Things Metal Blade in Latest Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Guide

If you’re looking to up your Mega Man game in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the latest Concepts and Combos video from Team Edmonton Gamers may be just what you’re looking for. The guide below focuses specifically on the Metal Blade side of the Capcom hero, but there’s still plenty to learn.

On top of offering otherwise impossible mobility options, using the Metal Blade to take advantage of glide tossing opens up combo options that can lead into early kills, or even just stack on percentage until the Metal Blade decides to vanish. Since the weapon’s random nature can mess with long combos, Dezmu offers follow-ups for each tossing method after only a single connected blade to keep things consistent.
