Icy Claws or Dark Psychic Power: Combos for Pokkén Tournament’s Weavile and Shadow Mewtwo

Freeze, slice, or crush the opposition as needed.

Living up to its Iron Fist pedigree, Pokkén Tournament has a fairly robust combo system; knowing your best links to dish out the damage will definitely help in this particular Pokémon arena. YouTubers Swillo & BimmyQuestion have recently uploaded two videos of bread-and-butters to assist your training as a Pokécombo Master–check them out below, and start practicing!

The first focuses on the speedy, ice-wielding critter Weavile:

Secondly: if you prefer the dark, brooding, psychic type, here’s some combos for Shadow Mewtwo.

“Super Street Fighter Carnival 2016” Marches On with Fatal Fury Special, Force Five Tournaments

The “Super Street Fighter Carnival 2016” festivities continue! SSFC2016 is the currently ongoing Japanese tournament series at Mikado Arcade that pays tribute to older,–and sometimes completely forgotten–fighting games. If you missed the first few tournaments from SSFC2016, don’t sweat it!

These events are never complete without a Fatal Fury game or two, so “Fatal Fury Special” is a welcome inclusion, albeit unsurprising one for anyone that follows Mikado. (Which you should.)

But! There was no version of myself prepared to see a tournament for FORCE FIVE. This, for a couple of reasons–3D fighters have a much lower chance of showing up at these sort of events, traditionally. Oh, also: there’s the fact I legitimately had never heard of it! I’m apparently not alone: it’s an unreleased fighting game by Sammy and Anchor that was only very recently obtained. Haven’t heard of Anchor? We both can be forgiven, then: they almost exclusively work on wrestling and UFC games.

The company was founded by former Tekken team members. I didn’t find this out until after I watched the below tournament, and it honestly makes a lot of sense–there appears to be some very Tekken-esque movement in the game. Is that backdash canceling I’m seeing? It’s honestly surprising to me this game never saw the light of day until now, as it seems remarkably complete.

I don’t know about you, but Del Sol, the luchador that chucks energy versions of himself to body splash his opponent, is my new favorite fighting game character.
