Tekken 7 video roundup: Frame trap reference guide, universal wall jump, Law guide, and more!

Evo’s over and (hopefully) everyone is back home and recovered from their trips! As the dust settles and the eager wait for Geese Howard begins, let’s peek back into the backlog of impressive tech being made by the community for Tekken 7.

One of Europe’s best players, TDG Fergus, shows us a tech trap with Asuka’s hidden Ki Charge Ultimate Tackle.

BemaniAK shares his comprehensive Josie Rizal guide. As a player that’s been playing in the arcade and tournament scene prior to combo release, his Josie can help you quickly get up to speed.

eljaykooljay made a great video guide of every single move in the game that’s plus on block.

HelloMrBrahms breaks down the common oki options you’ll be forced to guess against versus Xiaoyu’s Art of Phoenix sweep.

If you don’t know about the Universal Wall Jump, rooflemonger shows you how to do it!

King Gaming Marks uses crossups to bait out panic buttons at the wall with these Law wall combos.

And speaking of Law, LiangHuBBB gives you a number of frame traps and execution tips for the Bruce Lee stand-in.

And just to close things out, Gatoray put together a fun, quick side-by-side of The King of Fighters XIV Geese and Tekken 7 (trailer) Geese.

I hope Tekken will give us a run down of their interpretation of Geese soon. I’d love to see the character’s tool-set put into practice!

Rashid, Ibuki and Laura get sporty on July 25th, with Street Fighter V’s Sports costumes

July 25th is already going to have an avalanche of Street Fighter V DLC, with Abigail, the Champion’s Choice and Ring of Pride DLC, along with the Suzaku Castle stage and nostalgia Costumes all launching on the same day. It seems Capcom are going in for a penny, in for a pound as they have announced yet more costumes that will be launching next Tuesday.

Shown off at the Street Fighter V panel at San Diego Comic Con, Rashid, Laura and Ibuki are all getting sports-themed costumes. Rashid and Laura must be fans of the beautiful game, as they are both getting football — soccer for our American readers — kits. As for Ibuki, she clearly been practicing her spikes as she is wearing a volleyball uniform. I wonder if she practices with the Dead or Alive ladies on her days off from school, street fighting and ninja training?

Ibuki Sports Costume
Laura Sports Costume
Rashid Sports Costume

As with the other costumes, each one will be available $3.99 a pop. If you’re looking to get a tournament set-up with all the costume and stage DLC, you’re going to be spending quite a lot of cash come July 25th.

ESL’s Street Fighter V KOTH event has arrived on Disney XD, now called ESL Brawlers

It seems Disney XD are going all in on fighting games after the success of their Evo broadcast, as they have just announced a partnership with the ESL to bring Street Fighter V to the channel. This comes in the form of ESL Brawlers, a rebranding of the previously-named King of the Hill stream, which sees competitors fighting over and then defending the throne from new opponents.

The first season of ESL Brawlers will run for six episodes; the pilot has already aired and is viewable on Disney XD website. You’ll be able to see players like PIE|Smug, PG|Punk, EG|K-Brad and RISE|Marn battling for the throne, so expect quite the explosive first episode.

Don’t worry if you do not have access to Disney XD, ESL Brawlers will be streamed live on the ESL Twitch channel.
