Light up the sky with these Starfire combos in Injustice 2

Injustice 2 players got their hands on Starfire for the first time yesterday, and wasted no time developing some standard combos and mixups for the high-flying Titan.

Starfire is the game’s third DLC character, and her moveset incorporates a number of projectile-based attacks. She can use her Stardust special to place traps on the opponent’s wakeup and create effective mix-ups, while her trait allows her to pour additional damage onto her combo enders.

Below you can find an annotated combo guide, showing some of Starfire’s basic combos along with a few more tricky setups to help keep opponent’s guessing. Starfire’s release completes the first round of DLC characters for Injustice 2, with six more planned for the future.

Explore Captain Marvel’s combo potential in this Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite story demo combo video

Captain Marvel is one of the newcomers that seems to have grabbed a lot of players’ attention in the upcoming Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. Described as a “jack of all trades, and master of some” by players such as Olaf Redland, she looks to be a character with a lot of potential.

Not that the publicly-available Story Demo would let give you any real indication — what with her being relegated to dealing with low-health drones. That said, is hasn’t stopped players from trying to explore her abilities in the demo, and figure out some combos.

In the video below, Andrew Silver demonstrates some of those results. The combos below take advantage of her ability to cancel into air dashes and flight mode, as well as the fact that she can combo out of her Blitz Blow special (press both kicks simultaneously). In addition to this, there are also a couple of Time Stone Infinity Surge combos that go beyond just repeating one or two moves.

Burrito Esports come out on top in Rivals of Aether’s icon contest

After intense fighting between several esports teams and their fanbases, the winner of the Rivals of Aether skin contest has been decided. Beating out other teams like Panda Global, Tempo Storm and Edax Pro, Burrito Esports rose to the top of the pile and will have a special character skin dedicated to them.

Seeing as his study armor and soft underbelly kind of mirror the layout of the Mexican wrap, the rock beetle man Kragg has been picked to receive the Burrito Esports skin. This skin gives his rock projectiles googly-eyes, has him summoning two of the tasty treats for his taunt, and it turns his Rock Pillar into a giant free-standing burrito.

The money raised from the Burrito Kragg skin will be split 50/50 between Burrito Esports and the RCS events, meaning every purchase will go back into supporting the Rivals of Aether community. There are plans for a future contest of this type, so make sure to rally around your favorite esports team when the time comes.
