– Valve to Be More Active to Prevent Malicious Review Bombs

Valve’s Alden Kroll has posted a lengthy article on the Steam Blog to let players know that the company will be taking a more active role in the prevention of “malicious review bombs”. Valve originally thought to remove scores altogether but decided not to change the current system. As a result, part of the company’s new role in preventing malicious review bombs will be the introduction of new graphs to allow people to see a game’s player reviews longitudinally.

Demon King Dabura and Gohan-absorbed Buu are heading to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

Long awaited characters finally make their appearance.

Months after the fourth and seemingly final DLC pack for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 was released, it looks like players can expect new additions to the time traveling anime fighter. In a recent issue of V-Jump, Bandai Namco announced that Demon King Dabura and Gohan-absorbed Buu will be coming to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 as DLC. Those who purchase the upcoming DLC pack will also have access to the evil Kai, Zamasu, as a mentor. This will give Zamasu’s apprentices access to his special moves as well as the usual dialogue of praise and scold depending on how well you do in matches. Not much else is known about the upcoming DLC, but it will be coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch so everyone will be able to have a chance to grab the new additions.

Players have been expecting these characters to be added to the game after they data mined the last DLC pack’s update information. Data listings for characters coded “BUU” and “DBR” were found within the update causing players to speculate when the addition of Dabura and Gohan-absorbed Super Buu would finally be implemented. It is interesting that it has taken so long to add Dabura — who is the elder brother to Mira, one of the primary antagonists of the Xenoverse series — to the games. Perhaps there will be an additional story scenario with the siblings together at last in the Xenoverse series. There’s bound to be more information soon, so be on the lookout!

Float above your opponents with these Black Manta combos and tricks for Injustice 2

With Black Manta’s recent release into Injustice 2, players are clamoring to figure out all the tech they can before he is made tournament legal next month. His interesting float mechanics are making for some interesting things, and we could see a decent number of players adopt him as one of their characters pretty soon.

This combo video shows some of the capabilities of Black Manta, with some heavy use of his float mechanics to deal out decent amounts of damage. One particular thing of note is that Black Manta can link normals in the air, if you make use of float cancels.

Make even the ground turbulent with these Rashid Nail Assault meaty setups for Street Fighter V

Street Fighter V‘s Rashid has controlled the air for a long time, but how well does he control the ground? With these meaty setups off of his low V-Skill, Nail Assault, he can control the ground perfectly fine.

NurseLee has concocted several devastating meaty followups to his Nail Assault, which makes his pressure far more difficult to deal with. He particularly finishes with a perfect safe jump that will make Rashid’s air game even more dangerous. This works only on quick rise, but if executed perfectly will make every DP whiff, leading to massive damage.
