Keep Bowser at Bay with This Peach Spacing Tutorial for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Peach was known as a perennial zoning character in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and her traditional gameplan has not changed in Super Smash Bros for Wii U. However, she has received various nerfs over the series to make her slightly less viable; to top things off, the mechanics of the game have changed enough to make you approach everything differently.

VesperArcade Discusses the Reasons Street Fighter V Has Undersold

It is no secret that Street Fighter V did not do as well as expected on launch–selling only 1.4 million copies, short of their 2 million fiscal goal. In December, it was announced that the sales had increased to 1.5 million–only 100,000 additional units being sold since February 2016. That is a big deal, given the additional content being packed in.

VesperArcade has released a video speculating why the sales have stagnated. First of all, while a lot of content has been released for free since, the AAA title cost of the title itself does not bode well when compared to other games with microtransactions. Also, he muses that the game may actually be too balanced, with too many similarities between the characters that makes the title seem bland to casual and competitive players alike.
