The Smash Bros. series differentiates itself from other fighting titles in a number of ways, but one thing that truly makes the series stand out is the speed at which high-level play takes place. This speed is the product of all sorts of different movement and recovery-based tech applications, which often depend on the specific title in question. But one piece of technology that has stuck around through it all is the edge cancel.

Edge canceling, as the name suggests, uses the edge of a stage or platform to help speed characters through the recovery frames of a given move to help them be able to act more quickly on the other side. Though you can’t edge cancel aerials in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, there are still loads of special moves, as well as air dodges, that do allow this recovery reduction to be applied.

This video from Beefy Smash Doods discusses how edge canceling works before going on to demonstrate all of the moves that can be edge canceled in the most recent entry in the Smash series.

Officially over the halfway point in the Street Fighter V cast, Evil Geniuses’ Momochi turns his attention to Necalli in this latest basics breakdown.

If you’ve seen the rest of the videos in this series, you probably have a good idea of what to expect: a solid sampling of how to apply special moves and buttons, some simple combos, and a general gameplan to help maximize the featured character’s tools. Since Necalli’s V-Trigger plays such a large role in his approach to any match, Momochi spends plenty of time discussing what the fighter is capable of once his hair breaks from its braids and begins to glow.

If Momochi’s character selection pattern holds true moving forward, Vega players can expect to pick up some useful tips in the not-too-distant future.
