The folks over at VGBootCamp recently went live with another installment of Smash @ Xanadu from Xanadu Games in Baltimore, Maryland. These weekly broadcasts provide a great look at the region’s Smash community, with tonight’s stream focusing entirely on Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

The stream is live below, but you can also head on over to Twitch to join the chat.

Earlier today, NetherRealm Studios provided us our very first look at how Mortal Kombat X’s next round of characters will play. While not much, we are able to glean bits and pieces of their techniques from the brief bit of footage.

Much like the rest of the cast, these newcomers will have three different variations to choose from. Leatherface appears to have a mixture of hand-to-hand combat and (obviously) chainsaw attacks, with one variant possibly paying homage to the iconic ending of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre; Triborg will have fighting styles based on the cyborgs combined within him; Bo’ Rai Cho is all about the gross-out attacks, with one variation apparently focused on staff attacks; and, finally, Alien will be able to use Baraka’s arm-blades or call in backup from others of its kind.

But we want to hear from you. Which of these characters seems most exciting to you? We’ve set up a quick poll below along with the aforementioned gameplay video, so check it out and cast your vote. Be sure to visit our comments as well and let us know why you chose the cast member you did.
