Learn the Basics of King of Fighters XIV’s Zarina with This Combo Guide

With The King of Fighters XIV still fresh off the presses, new content is rapidly being produced for its massive roster by players immersing themselves in the new title. One such player, YouTuber Coliflowerz, took it upon themselves to map out some of Zarina’s prominent normals, as well as her reversals and many of her combo options. They meticulously chart out spacing, meter, and character specific combos, with a conversion for nearly every occasion.

He has been hard at work producing King of Fighters XIV content. Over the past week he has pumped out similar guides for several characters already, all of which can be found in this playlist.

ZeRo Recognized By the Guinness Book of World Records for Longest Winning Streak in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

As competitive gaming grows, more and more players are getting their achievements recognized as world records: the Guinness Book of World Records has already recognized players such as Daigo Umehara and Ryan Hart for their own achievements, and now another player joins their ranks.

Gonzalo “ZeRo” Barrios from Team SoloMid has been noted in the Guinness World Records 2017 Gamer’s Edition for holding the longest winning streak in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. From November 2014 to October 2015, ZeRo won an total of 53 SSB4 tournaments in a row.

 

ZeRo has uploaded his own reaction to this news to his YouTube channel, in this video:

ZeRo’s winning streak in Super Smash Bros. cemented his place at the top of the competitive Super Smash Bros. for Wii U hierarchy, much in the same way that EG|Justin Wong’s own 5 year win streak in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 established him as a legend in that game.

We here at Shoryuken congratulate ZeRo on this achievement!
