Having trouble with Red Hood’s “Going Ballistic” character power? This string can seem pretty overwhelming at first — he has low, mid, and throw options all off of the same string. On paper it’s a three-way mix-up, but in actuality there’s nothing to fear thanks to “Fuzzy Guarding.”

As NRS-dedicated content creator and pro MK_REO demonstrates, there’s a particular motion you can use to negate all three options. Depending upon the character you play, this potentially makes every single mix-up option a sudden unsafe liability for the Red Hood player.

Famous for his mastery of the incredibly difficult to perform aerial super wavedash, the hyper-technical Samus main Goomy has brought out a brand new Melee combo video. From aerial super wavedashes, uses of Samus’ extended grapple beam and some insane off-stage sequences, Goomy make Samus look nigh-on unstoppable.

At one point, Goomy is able to super wavedash to one side of Fountain of Dreams, forward tilt his opponent into a bomb on the other side of the stage and then finish them off with a Charge Shot. The sheer skill to pull off that sequence would make you think Samus herself was behind the controls. He then manages to use Samus’ grapple to phase through Pokemon Stadium and kill someone by coming up through the bottom of the stage.

Goomy is set to be at GT-X next weekend, so let’s hope he can show off his awe-inspiring Samus on stream.

Part of the power of King’s Giant Swing in Tekken 7 comes from its incredible speed: it’s one of the few 10-frame startup throws in the game. Because of this, it’s a little more surprising in nature, which is a great thing for a grappler in a game with reactable throw startup.

You might think its complex input may limit where you can place Giant Swing, but Australian Tekken 7 pro BoxeR-King is here to demonstrate that there’s always time to go for a spin. The execution a little more difficult, but you can learn to execute Giant Swing from crouching postion. This allows you to use it in surprising moments like after a crouch jab, DB+3, or even after your opponent puts you in a crouching position with a move.
