ZeRo Analyzes Cloud in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

If you know anything about the Smash community, you’re familiar with Team SoloMid’s Gonzalo “ZeRo” Barrios. Widely regarded as one of the best Super Smash Bros. for Wii U players, ZeRo’s long list of accomplishments includes first place finishes at Apex 2015, Evo 2015, and The Big House 5.

To cut a long story short, when ZeRo talks Smash, people listen. That’s why his latest video, a breakdown of Cloud Strife’s recent appearance as a downloadable character, is invaluable for folks looking to take the Final Fantasy protagonist far in competition. Below, he provides his early thoughts on Cloud’s wide array of moves, setups you’ll want to look out for, and various other strategies for aspiring Buster Sword wielders.

Create Your Own Street Fighter Diorama with ‘Battle of the Brothers’ Statues

Back in May, Kinetiquettes unveiled a series of Street Fighter statues that, due to their connectable bases, allow collectors to create their own unique dioramas with Ryu, Ken, Gouken, and Akuma. The first of these statues is now available to purchase.

Ken Masters himself starts out this ‘Battle of the Brothers’ collectible line, performing a jumping sidekick against an unseen opponent. Standing a little shy of 18 inches tall, this statue comes with an alternate short hair piece if you order through the Kinetiquettes website.

While it’s pretty pricey at $399, the ability to match Ken with his fellow Ansatsuken practitioners makes this a pretty neat piece for fans of the series. More details can be found by following the link below.
