The herald of 20XX and widely regarded as the best character in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Fox can seem impossible to beat at times. His mobility, combo game and Shine give him options to cover almost every situation but there are still ways to deal with this wily space animal. In his latest character guide, Kira from SSBM Tutorials has listed some of the things to look out for when trying to defeat Fox.

While Fox has plenty of strengths, lack of range is his main weakness and most other top tier characters can abuse their increased range to wall out Fox’s attacks. His speed is terrifying, but awareness of his approach options and having the defensive tools to counter them can alleviate the stress of dealing with a woodland creature assaulting you. Kira also lists potential edgeguards, what to do about laser camping as well as Shine pressure on your shield, which should be enough to get you started in your fight against Fox.

The release of a new fighter must be like Christmas for lab monsters, as it provides a brand new engine to experiment with and subsequently break. With the release of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, technicians have already found a pretty devastating combo which is potentially infinite and works on the majority of the cast.

Playing around with the Stun attack in Xenoverse 2, YouTuber HaWXx Is Rippin has discovered that you can infinitely stunlock an opponent, by inputting a frame perfect Stun attack just as their stamina gauge recovers. Upon landing a Stun, your opponent’s stamina gauge drains and they cannot move until the gauge fills up again. If you time another Stun attack to sync up with the flash which indicates that your opponent’s stamina gauge is back up to full, you can continually keep them in this stunned state until death.

If you input the Stun attack too early, the opponent is knocked away and you must chase them to continue the combo, while if you input it too late, they can Z-Flash away and start hitting you. Players must also note that landing consecutive Stuns is very difficult for certain characters, due to the speed of their standard attacks when compared to recovery rate of an opponent’s stamina gauge, so definitely experiment with your main to see if they can easily perform this infinite. Do note that this combo works as of Patch 1.02 of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, so it’s quite likely this combo will be removed in the future, so enjoy it now!

Daigo fans may be aware of a recent piece of tech shown off in his “Research Institute of Ryu”. During the streamed sessions we saw a “Super Hadouken“, performed by plinking a normal Hadouken into an EX version, which seemed to evade attacks that would otherwise hit a normal EX Hadouken.

Below, TOOLASSISTED shows us exactly what is going on with this tech. He reveals that it’s not an amalgamation of the two hurtboxes or any such magic, as some thought, but simply doing a kara cancel out of the Hadouken. A Hadouken moves Ryu back slightly, and so does EX Hadouken, so plinking into an EX Hadouken gives the combined backwards momentum of both moves, allowing it to evade slightly better. This can be clearly seen, as a normal Hadouken has visible hurtboxes on the feet, which appear when plinking a normal Hadouken into an EX one.
