Tired of falling prey to the parries of Asuka? Then you need Chicken.

Introduced in Tekken 3 and named after the bugged narrator clip that accompanied it, the “Chicken” mechanic (or, “Chickening”) is a method of intentionally baiting out reversals. Each character can input a command during their moves that will break reversals, with no negative consequences if the move isn’t reversed. Just Frame‘s latest video shows you how to do it, when to use it, and who to use it versus.

Even prior to Salem’s surprise victory at Evo 2017 in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the Smash community had been wrestling with themselves over their feelings about Bayonetta in the meta. A win at the world’s largest tournament, then, predictably brought up an old question no one really wants to hear: Should (insert top tier here) be banned?

ZeRo, whom many thought would win Evo this year, decided weighed in on the topic. He takes a level-headed approach, pointing to the history the Smash community has had with character bans in the past — and the unintended consequences that can result from them.
