Having Trouble in Skullgirls 2nd Encore Dealing with Beowulf as Peacock? Here’s Some New Tech That’ll Help

Skullgirls is a game that’s generally described as being fairly balanced, with a large percent of the cast being competitively viable with few incredibly unfavorable matchups. This isn’t to say that such matchups don’t exist, but today we’ll focus on one that may have just gotten a lot more fair.

One of the harder situations to deal with in the game is Peacock vs. Beowulf with Big Band assist, purely because of the team’s ability to punish Peacock for nearly anything she does. This domination Beowulf/Big Band seems to have over Peacock was most prominently shown last Combo Breaker in the cR|dekillsage vs. SwiftFox-Dash, but some new tech could change the pace of the match a lot. Dekillsage is here to show off this tech, but makes it clear that he was initially shown this by Lawnba.

Injustice 2’s Beta Is Put to the Test in This SonicFox vs. YOMI Slayer FT10 Set

Excited by Black Canary’s addition in Injustice 2? Or are you just someone that needs to see some solid NRS gameplay? Either way, you’ll be happy to know that Echo Fox’s SonicFox and YOMI Slayer slugged it out in a grueling, close set.

With expert commentary by PND Ketchup & Mustard, the nearly hour-long set proves enlightening on how Injustice 2’s beta plays and feels. Sonicfox seems to be enjoying the Sonya Blade-esque rush down of Black Canary, despite being up against the very strong and solid zoning of Slayer’s Superman. Without spoiling anything, this could easily be the highest-level footage we’ve seen of these characters thus far!

Dragon Install Loops, Dust Combos, and More Hotness Featured in the Latest Sol Badguy Combo Movie

Bet you thought that Sol Badguy combos can’t really get that creative, did you? The standard bearer of the Guilty Gear franchise has a lot more variety than it seems.

Japanese player muto6 uploaded a new Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- combo movie featuring increasingly zany Sol combos. Just how many Dust attacks can he fit in one Dust loop combo? Have you seen a Dragon Install Gunflame loop before? And you’ve probably never seen Faust full-screen carried by an off-the-ground combo. If all this sounds like gibberish, not to worry. Just get into the quirky song by Natsuko Nisshoku and enjoy the creativity.

For even more Sol action, check out these sets from Hakken and Roi.

How Do Fighting Game Players in Esports Deal with Aging?

No matter what we do, we can’t stop the clock from running on us–unless you’re Dio Brando, or use Overdrive in a BlazBlue match, but that’s beside the point. Aging affects all of us, and sadly, it has a detrimental effect on certain motor skills, particularly reflex, which is key in fighting games when facing mix-up attacks.

Game Informer delved deeper into the issue, taking a wide approach at how gaming affects the esports industry players at large. The author points out the gravity of this when highlighting notables from the fighting game community. Vasquez talked to Darryl “Snake Eyez” Lewis, Bruce “Gamerbee” Hsiang, Alex Valle, David “Ultradavid” Graham and more. They point out how committing between community organization and training competitively can get in the way, and that the difference from regular sports is that gaming is tied to commercial products and patches. Ultimately, older fighting game players benefit from more experience and a better ability to read the opponent.
