Persona Entertainment spares no meter with these Iori Yagami combos for The King of Fighters XIV

Combo videos usually come in one of two flavors: informative, or flashy. Persona Entertainment‘s latest video for The King of Fighters XIV’s Iori Yagami has a little bit of both–but on the whole leans much more heavily towards the impractical latter.

And that’s why it’s great. You probably don’t need me to tell you that whiffing three bars worth of super intentionally is not ideal in the long run for tournament play. But it’s a great way to show off, and that’s a good way to summarize the vast majority of this video’s tricky content.

CherryBerryMango shows how height can impact your Tekken 7: Fated Retribution wall combos

As you will find out on June 2nd, it’s not just enough to get your opponent to the wall with your juggles. You also need to pay attention to how you get them to the wall.

Since you cannot Screw Attack off the wall, you need to find other ways to pump out big damage off the wall. Once you learn positioning in your juggles, a big way to do that is by purposely launch your opponent high onto the wall, allowing you to get more hits and bigger damage.

Above are just a few examples provided by Korean player CherryBerryMango. Check out his channel to see those combos in action in actual battles, and pay attention–because you’ll be doing them soon, too!

Game Informer talks about gaming and disability with Mike “BrolyLegs” Begum

One of the most inspiring stories to come out of the fighting game community is that of Mike “BrolyLegs” Begum. In a genre as dexterity-demanding as fighting games, one would not expect that BrolyLegs–who has suffered from arthrogryposis since birth, can perform as well as he does. Yet through sheer determination, BrolyLegs had become one of the best Chun-Li players, and one of the most recognized names within the community.

Recently, Gamer Informer’s Javy Gwaltney got a chance to talk to BrolyLegs; in the interview, they talk about various topics, including how he learned to play video games as a child and adapt to his disability. As part of this they also discuss his book My Life Beyond the Floor, which goes over his early life and how he overcame his disability both in games and in real life. Along the way, they also talk about how far the industry has come to accommodating people with disabilities.

Of course, there are a few other topics that they discuss as well! Read the whole interview over at Game Informer.
