Potetin Shows His Dark Side with Pokkén Tournament’s Darkrai

It’s tough to find any high-quality footage of Pokkén Tournament’s newly added Darkrai. Not just because the its arcade-only; the pitch-black Pokémon seems, on the surface… complicated. He comes packed with his own character-specific mode (Dark Void!), and he has an intricate set of delayed projectiles; he’s a low-health, option-heavy glass cannon.

It would take a dedicated player to churn out a winning strategy for him this quickly, less then a month after his arcade release. Of course, who else but Potetin would be the first to give his opponents nightmares? This is the same player that played the most characters in top 8 at Evo 2016 of any game, after all!

These videos were shared with us thanks to twitter user Monkey_Engine. There are three matches currently on the account, including one with the legendary Gengar player Sasahune.

There’s great zoning and decision-making, showing off Darkrai’s out-of-the-box strengths well. It’s a pretty amazing sight to see a Suicune player get frustrated and try to go in during Field Phase.

The wait for a console release date for Darkrai (and possibly others) seems to just get longer.

SNK is Hosting a King of Fighters XIV “Dream Match” with EG|Justin Wong, HORI|Sako, Ogawa, and GO1

With SNK’s King of Fighters XIV almost upon us, one question on many people’s minds is if any top players from other series will be picking the game up. To help address this, SNK will be holding a special stream featuring some of these top players from other games.

On August 19, SNK will be hosting a special “Dream Match” event, featuring top players EG|Justin Wong, Ogawa, GO1, and HORI|Sako.  Known for playing other titles–Ogawa mainly plays Guilty Gear, and the rest have been focusing on Street Fighter V–this gives us a chance to see how non-KOF players of this caliber will fare in the King of Fighters XIV.

Additionally, this isn’t the first time some of these players have switched games. GO1 was primarily known for BlazBlue before Street Fighter V, and Sako made a name for himself in Vampire Savior before becoming a Street Fighter player. Meanwhile, Justin Wong has been known to balance multiple games in the past, and has played King of Fighters ’98 in regional tournaments before.

SNK’s King of Fighters XIV Dream Match will take place on August 19 at 7:00 PM JST (6:00 AM Eastern, 3:00 AM Pacific). In the meantime, check out this trailer for the event.
