Nintendo finally reveals the last six–not three–amiibo for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
After a strangely long wait, the last DLC characters are finally getting (more than) their due.
Today’s Nintendo Direct meant lots of assorted Nintendo news being revealed, and among it appeared the long-lost amiibo figures for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U’s final three DLC fighters: Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta. The bonus surprise: each character will actually get two different versions; meaning we get both the original and Advent Children versions of Cloud Strife, Bayonetta’s outfits from both of her titles, and male & female Corrin variants.
These amiibo will roll out July 21, 2017–and while package/pricing info has not yet been specified, Nintendo Direct does indicate that some will be limited to “select retailers.”

This seems to shut down the old rumor that these amiibo would appear with the announcement of a Super Smash Bros. title on Nintendo Switch, unless Nintendo isn’t telling us something yet.
The announcement appears in the Nintendo Direct video below, at 9:28.

Continue your onslaught against crouching opponents: More Juri combos from JusticeSoulTuna for Street Fighter V
Just when you think she has run out of new tricks, Season 2 Juri seems to be the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to combo potential. Following up on a previous video showing how Juri could connect new combos on crouching opponents using her fireball, JusticeSoulTuna has found more combo links that work on opponents ducking low to the ground. There are also a handful of new counter-hit combos using Juri’s standing heavy punch, standing medium punch and medium kick Fuharenkyaku (MK Fuha).
Standing medium punch is the real star of the show, as it acts as a combo link on crouching opponents following a MK Fuha. This link can allow Juri to convert into decent meterless damage, or she can leave herself at +2 if she ends the combo with a light punch DP. It’s then possible to sneak in a jab or go for a grab to secure some easy damage.
However, JusticeSoulTuna points out that the real potential of this combo link is the ability to charge another MK Fuha. When done in the corner, this puts Juri in the perfect position to plan for her opponent’s wakeup. There are no doubt more bits of Juri tech that are still to be discovered, so watch out for more from JusticeSoulTuna in the near future.

Slice, Dice & Rice–the new one hit-kill indie fighting game–releases this month on Steam
Slice, Dice & Rice–an indie fighting game inspired by PSone’s classic Bushido Blade, and other PS fighters–will release at the end of April on Steam. PC gamers can look forward to slicing up their foes in this stylized fighter, where one blow may mean the end of the match.
The game features eight base characters and two secret, powerful variation fighters. Other than Training and Versus Modes, Story Mode takes the warriors through comic-book style, dialogue-driven battles. There won’t be online play at launch, but Dojo Games is “heavily considering it.”
Slice, Dice & Rice is about opening up your foes to execute them with a clean strike. Rather than long move lists, the game features intuitive abilities common across characters. Attacks can be feinted, canceled, parried, dodged, or they can clash with the opponent’s strikes.
Other than the game’s release on April 27th for Steam, a console version is planned a few months later. Check out the Slice, Dice & Rice Steam page for more details, and let us know in the comments if you’re planning on trying it out or not!
