New normals, bad anti-airs, and the lash: In-depth breakdown of Whip in The King of Fighters XIV

Whip is one of the four new DLC characters added to The King of Fighters XIV, as part of its recent version 2.0 update. The lash-wielding sister of K’ was last seen in The King of Fighters XI, skipping out the past two iterations of the franchise. For her return, she sports some changes to her kit (including some new normals) that now define her abilities in the game.

In a 2-part video series, purifyws breaks down Whip’s King of Fighters XIV incarnation. This includes not just going over her moves, but also discussing their specific properties and what he feels are her strengths and weaknesses–especially in the anti-air department.

Blink and you’ll miss The Flash’s Injustice 2 intro trailer

As a Flash main in the original Injustice, this is the trailer I have been waiting for. Showing off the scarlet speedster in action, this introductory trailer for The Flash reveals some of the new tricks he has picked up in between games. Still retaining moves like his Lightning Kick, Running Man Stance and Time Loop trait, The Flash finally has a projectile and some added anti-air options to deal with foes both near and far.

Barry Allen has even gained a dive kick for Injustice 2, with him spiraling head first towards a foe and potentially leading into a juggle when in Time Loop. Taking a tip from Kitana, The Flash has an anti-air similar to the Edenian princess, making opponents float in the air when meter-burned. He can also spin on the spot to create a tornado which can intercept jumping foes, along with an energy projectile to contest enemy zoners.

His new super is truly the star of the show, with The Flash running back in time to slam opponents into some archaeological and paleontological surprises. He then brings opponents back to the present, where they collide headfirst into an alternate timeline version of themselves–starting another beatdown in a separate universe. That’s just the right kind of overkill.

Minecraft – Marketplace to Bring Cool Community Creations to Others

The Minecraft Marketplace is coming soon to the game with the Discovery Update (v1.1) later this spring. The idea is to allow community creations to be sold within the game itself. The shop items will be curated by the Minecraft team and sold through the Marketplace. Creators will be able to “make a living from the game, allowing them to support themselves in the creation of future projects”.
