Month: July 2016

2GGaming has followed through on its word and has officially revealed that they will be hosting 2GGT: Civil War some time in the near future. The seed for this tournament was sown just after Get On My Level 2016, following Ally’s victory over TSM ZeRo and the resulting Twitter storm surrounding who would rally behind each player if there was a Marvel-esque Civil War within the world of Super Smash Bros for Wii U. This tournament will have Ally and ZeRo assembling two teams from the world’s best Smashers to fight for supremacy and determine who is the best.

2GGaming will slowly be revealing each of the team members in the run-up to the event but players like Team Liquid’s Nairo, Panda Global’s Trela, Kamemushi, Dream Team’s Dabuz, Mr-R, Team eLevate’s Larry Lurr and Komorikiri have been named as just a few of the players who will be siding with either ZeRo or Ally. While he was mentioned in the trailer, Ranai will not be able to attend the event, due to the difficulty getting time off work to attend locals, let alone majors like this. There are a couple of players missing like Dream Team’s ANTi so we may see a secret third faction step into the fray and add a little chaos to the proceedings.

While I was initially skeptical of the whole Civil War talk on Twitter as a way of creating false hype, I cannot deny that this tournament will be incredible to watch. It will act as Evo round 2 in a way, with 2GGaming being able to run the tournament exactly how they want without the problem of other games conflicting with the schedule. With world class talent coming to support either ZeRo or Ally, it will be a gem of an event no matter what. There isn’t a hard and fast date for the Civil War just yet but I imagine there will be more news coming from Super Smash Con in a few weeks. Check out the trailer below as well as some amazing promo art for the event, courtesy of nips.

With Juri Han set to be released as the next DLC character for Street Fighter V this Tuesday, many players have been preparing for her arrival by taking her Story Mode incarnation to the lab via a PC Mod, to discover everything they can about the “Spider” before she officially drops.

One such player, is renowned French warrior and tech monster Alioune, who has put together a short video of punishes for Juri’s V-Skill. Kasatushu allows Juri to charge up a rushing attack that will cross-up the opponent and kick them from behind at the highest level.  She can also Forward or Backdash Cancel the Charge to maintain its current level, but keep it stored for later use, and can even stop herself by tapping the V-Skill command again, if she doesn’t wish to travel the full distance. This ability can also be used to punish projectile attacks, which has become something of a common theme amongst V-Skills in SFV.

Moves such as M. Bison’s Devils Reverse, Nash’s Sonic Booms, Birdie’s Drink Time, Rashid’s Yssar, Dhalsim’s limbs and even R. Mika’s Dropkick can be beaten and punished with a full combo, giving the taekwondo prodigy an extremely powerful tool that should compliment her more rushdown-focused gameplan well. You can see the full video below and can find more Juri tech, as well as several other fighting game videos on his YouTube Channel.
