Super Smash Bros. as a series has a primary focus on providing a fun environment for new players, and seeks to be a game that anyone could enjoy. With the sheer size of the game and how much it’s sold over its lifetime, single-handedly selling consoles, it’s hard to argue that they didn’t succeed amazingly. While players have discovered a hidden depth in the game and thus explored it competitively, Smash’s strongest point is its ease of entry.

Here we have one of the simplest characters on the Smash Bros. roster, Kirby. While seemingly plain and straightforward, YouTuber RelaxAlex reveals that Kirby has a lot more going on than this outward simplicity. He covers all of Kirby’s attacks, hitstun, colors and movements and how they all directly correlate to past incarnations, and how Kirby was specifically designed to cater to new players through his attack moves. It’s an interesting bit of analysis, that’s well worth the watch.

Remember P4AU? It was all the rage for a while, but thanks to the latest patch unfortunately never coming to consoles, many people ended up dropping the game. While the game does see some occasional play–like when it was featured at CEOtaku–it’s largely fallen from the fanbase it once had.

Despite this, it’s not like the game is unplayable. One YouTuber, Persona Entertainment (as their namesake may suggest!) still enjoys kicking around P4AU. They’ve devoted their time to showing off some really cool stuff in this game. These videos feature Chie Satonaka and Shadow Labrys, with some high-damage kill combos.

Though a lot of attention has moved on to The King of Fighters XIV, the prior installment still has a lot of players who still enjoy it, and are still churning out content. Below we have some great compilations and combo videos featuring last generation’s King of Fighters title.

First up we got a Yuri combo video from Persona Entertainment. There are a lot of really damaging combos here, the majority of which kill from full health.

Next we have some videos from 8Sin-Am, the first of which is a hype compilation from various sets with several different characters.

We also have here some character specific compilations, featuring a lot of high level play for both Kyo and Billy.
