The only thing that rivals the hype of Geese Howard’s appearance in Tekken 7 is his initial return to fighting games in The King of Fighters XIV. Here to remind us that the kingpin of South Town is back and here to stay is Persona Entertainment with another impressive combo video.

Though Geese is known for his unique defensive moves, he leaves little to be desired on the offensive end. He’s got combos that push the opponent from wall to wall and, like a select few KOFXIV cast members, can retrieve them from the ground for a super or Climax finish. Another fearful aspect displayed in the video is the use of the air Reppu Ken to start and extend combos, which is  as entertaining as it is damaging.

While setups and setplay have long been a staple of the fighting game genre, perhaps no game has relied on it more heavily than Street Fighter V. In order to maximize your ability to win, you have to implement some setplay into your repertoire in order to deal enough damage to get a stun, or even a KO.

This video — using Ryu and Ken as an example — explores the concept of setups and setplays, and shows how to implement them into your game. With these kind of setups, you can catch a lot of your opponents’ wake-up options, and even force them into less optimal situations by trying to avoid your pressure.

Once again, Mikado Arcade has uploaded over an hour of in-house gameplay footage of Rival Schools 2: Project Justice, the sequel to the 3D Capcom fighter that has now become a cult classic.  Like their other uploads, the footage is of a full tournament, as you can tell by the commentary and players using various teams coming in and out periodically.

Fans of Rival Schools have been practically begging Capcom for a successor to Project Justice for years now. In 2015, director Hideaki Itsuno entertained the idea of a new Rival Schools story, but it seems even he is in the same boat as the fans. Still, with all of the crazy developments we’ve seen in the world of fighting games lately, like the existence of Dragon Ball FIghterZ, Akuma and Geese Howard crossing over to Tekken, and ARIKA creating a new EX game, there’s no telling what the future holds.

In any case, it seems that the patrons and employees of Mikado arcade are keeping the school spirit alive. Check out their latest Project Justice footage below, and a load of their previous streams here.
