Learn to throw down Kazama style with this Jin Kazama combo breakdown for Tekken 7

Out of all of the hosts of the Mishima bloodline, Jin Kazama is definitely an outlier. Though he does carry some of his family’s electrifying techniques, there is a fluidity to his style that is simply not present in that of his quarreling father and grandpa.

HurtboxTV’s latest combo breakdown illustrates the benefits of Jin’s simple-and-clean style. Though you may not be able to play as aggressively as you would with Heihachi or Kazuya, you won’t have as much to focus on execution-wise with Jin. The video also demonstrates the terrific wall carry that his strings have, which gives Jin an advantage when playing on any stage with walls.

If you admire the Mishimas for their straight-forward simplicity in battle and have yet t0 try Jin, this combo breakdown has what you need to get started. Check it out below and feel free to examine more of HurtboxTV’s  Tekken 7 combo guides.

Feel the might of Saiyan divinity with all of the known anime and manga references for SSB Goku and Vegeta in Dragon Ball FighterZ

With all of the new gameplay footage and characters on display in the Gamescom build of Dragon Ball FighterZ, IKevinX has been hard at work continuing his videos showcasing all of the anime and manga references that Arc System Works is painstakingly recreating for each and every single character in the game.

In his latest video, he tackles the two newest additions to the roster, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, or Super Saiyan Blue, Goku and Vegeta. These two divine forms of the last pair of pure-blooded Saiyans will be taking up their own character slots, but will not be clone characters. As such, though they do share a few normals with their original counterparts, their attacks have mostly been lifted from Dragon Ball Super, particularly their battles against Golden Frieza and Goku Black.

For SSB Goku, ASW also draws on his matches against Zamasu and Hit during the Universe 6 Saga, as his Kaioken X 10 God Kamehameha serves as his unique Meteor Attack. You can see the full video with all known references from the trailer below. Reference videos for Androids 16 and 18 will be coming soon.

If you’d like to see more of his previous work, you can check it out at the links below.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is set to be released in February 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam PC. Sign-ups for the closed beta test, which will feature all characters from the Gamescom build are now open.

Having trouble with the Abigail matchup, Claw users? ListonThePrince shows off punishment options for Vega against the giant grappler

Abigail, Street Fighter V‘s most recent DLC character, has been out in the wild for a month now with a lot of character combo and setup tech on YouTube and other social media sites. However, there doesn’t seem to be many videos covering how to punish Abigail’s unsafe normals and specials with frame disadvantage on many of them ranging between high single to high double-digit numbers. There aren’t many solid Abigail players out there yet, so anyone who’s unfamiliar with the character’s unsafe moves and strings will be thrown for a loop.

Thankfully, YouTube channel ECThrowdown uploaded a video made by ListonThePrince exposing how heavily punishable Abigail’s move set is with Vega. The video shows the masked matador punishing Abigail’s regular and EX Abigail Punch, Avalanche Press, Dynamite Punch,Giant Flip, Critical Art, and his most unsafe normals. He also shows how to punish untrue strings as well as gaps in his EX Giant Flip follow-ups. If you have four minutes to spare, check it out below and gain some knowledge.
