Welcome to the family: Pick up Tekken 7’s Kazuya with these combo guides

Tekken 7 can be a tough nut to crack, as the game’s multitude of match-ups and long combos provide quite a bit to study. If you’ve been eyeing the Mishima family and want to get better with Kazuya, we’ve got some combo videos to do just that.

legendaryMihawk opens up with a good primer on a wide breadth of Kazuya combos. They show off various starters, and include combos from counter-hits. Each one of them is showed twice, the second time in slow motion and with the required inputs shown on screen. The latter combos dive into wall sequences and Rage Art enders.

If you’re looking for a more basic, simple combo guide, World Warrior also has a video that’s got you covered.

VesperArcade examines the possibility of Bushin-ryu grandmaster Zeku joining Street Fighter V in Season 2

Will Guy’s former master be joining the Street Fighter V roster this year?

As noted previously, the appearance of the Fortune Teller in Ed’s story mode — probably named Menat — has lent credibility to a leaked Season 2 character roster (originally distributed by “flowtron”) that named the three fighters bound for Street Fighter V to be Menat, Abigail, and Zeku. VesperArcade has already discussed Menat and Abigail; now he turns his attention to the last potentially leaked addition, Guy’s Bushin-ryu instructor Zeku.

Based on the far-right silhouette in the promo images shown (see above), many speculated that the last fighter was Garuda from the Street Fighter EX franchise, VesperArcade included. However, it has been clearly stated that the Arika characters are not available to Capcom, presently. You can see in the video below that Zeku’s previous character art does not match up as well with the silhouette as Menat or Abigail, but isn’t so far removed as to rule it out.

VesperArcade stresses that the apparent accuracy of the leak itself — calling out Akuma and Ed out in advance, combined with how neatly Menat and Abigail fit — make the strongest case for Zeku. His storyline post-Street Fighter Alpha 2 would easily account to any change in his appearance, as well as allowing for his return after being defeated by his disciple. Check out the full video for all of Vesper’s thoughts.

In these prior videos, see what VesperArcade has to say about the likelihood of Street Fighter V getting the fortune teller Menat (from Ed’s character story mode), or Abigail from Final Fight.

Relive Combo Breaker’s Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 top 8, the culmination of the biggest REV 2 tournament so far

This year’s Combo Breaker in St. Charles, IL, was memorable for many reasons. Not only did it comfortably house nearly every competitive game you’d like to play, but it also fit in more Guilty Gear participants than any tournament this year so far. As essentially the premiere tournament for REV 2 in the United States, this is the biggest event yet for the recently-published console update.

Alongside explanatory English commentary to continue bringing you up on the novelties of the latest version, enjoy a good variety of characters in this top 8. There’s a bunch of sponsored players competing, with some impressive members of the community. BxA|dotNova’s Jack’O is up first against daymendou’s Slayer. That’s followed up by previous Guilty Gear Combo Breaker champion ElvenShadow and his Faust, fighting Xcel|BjornSonOfBear’s renowned Chipp Zanuff. Make sure to not miss out on the hype match between PG|MarlinPie’s excellent Zato=1 versus Foo’s Kum Haehyun, a rarely-seen character that’s proving stronger thanks to some buffs.

And finally, take notice of how solid Fable|Kizzie Kay’s Sin is, but note also CO|Dogura’s rise through the Losers bracket with his new and improved Raven.
