The Evolution Championship Series Has a New Home on Twitter

Unique names being tied to accounts on social media sites can result settling for an alternative account name because your preferred handle is already in use. One such instance occurred when the official Evo Twitter account was created. As many likely know, the account could be found under the handle “Evo2K” for a number of years; however, that is no longer the case.

The folks at Twitter were kind enough to relocate the official Evo Twitter account to the previously inactive “Evo” name. If you’re looking for up-to-the-second updates for all things relating to the Evolution Championship Series, be sure to give Evo a follow.

Do note that if you were already following the previous account, your follow has transferred.

Improve Your FireFox’s Pokkén Tournament Performance with Flame Charge Cancels

Don’t let Pokkén Tournament’s character select screen fool you into thinking Braixen is “Standard”; this fox is packing some serious technique.

User FreeMagee on /r/PokkenGame has discovered a trick for canceling the startup of the FireFox’s Up+A attack, Flame Charge. Though this attack seems designed as a combo ender, this technique instead allows the Braixen to extend their combos further by shaving the recovery of the preceding launcher Up+X. This not only gives the little Fire Mage a bit more damage output, but as FreeMagee notes, it also allows for a (all important) safe Sunny Day buff. For those wanting to take Braixen to the next level, here it is.

 

 

As demonstrated in this video by OfficialMASTERLINKX, you’ll know you’ve done the technique right when the flash of Up+A surrounds Braixen at the last moments of Up+X. Instead of taking the enemy pokémon for a ride, you land daintily on the ground below. Of particular note is that the technique seems to only be possible on hit, hinting at some underlying system mechanics allowing the player to safely option select this. 

Can Braixen FCC possibly be the start of some canceling exploits to come with other characters?
