Equip yourself to punch some boulders with Chris Redfield’s Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Japanese character trailer

With Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite now less than a week away from release, Capcom Japan continues to highlight members of the cast with small mini-trailers, the latest recipient of which is Chris Redfield. Like the Iron Man and Mega Man X trailers before it, this short video showcases some of Redfield’s returning special moves from Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, while simultaneously drawing attention to the fact that Chris must now reload his magnum, as it can only hold a maximum of three shots.

He then transitions into an Active Switch combo involving Ultron, before showing off his three Hyper combos, which are the returning Grenade Launcher, Sweep Combo, and his Level 3 Satellite Laser, which now has significantly increased startup and utility. We also get a look at his Character Select Screen artwork, in addition to the chance to hear his new theme, which is now a remixed version of “Assault Rifle” from Resident Evil 5. You can see the full trailer below.

Will you be playing this member of S.T.A.R.S. in Infinite? Let us know in the comments section.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite will be released on Tuesday, September 19th, in North America and Europe, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam PC. A Japanese release for the same platforms will follow on Thursday, September 21st.

TEKKEN TRAINING: Electric Wind God Vids — Applying backdashing in Tekken 7

Our Tekken Training series Electric Wind God Vids continues with a dissection and discussion of what the backdash is used for in Tekken 7. The focus here is not execution, but application.

For those that still have trouble with the actual execution of the backdash (in particular, the fabled Korean Backdash), we advise you to check out our execution guide here. Included are several exercises for improving your execution of repeated back-dashes, which is vital to the space control and whiff-punishing that makes up a large part of Tekken play. That space control, demonstrated via an in-tournament example, is the subject of today’s study.
