Here’s 10 launch punishable moves in Tekken 7 you should learn to destroy

The experience of playing Tekken 7, or really any 3D fighter with large move-lists, is built around the constant discovery of different characters strengths and weaknesses. It’s impossible to know everyone’s frame data right out of the gate, so there will always be some move someone is using versus you whose frame safety is much worse then it initially seems.

But in 2017, it’s easier to move past this barrier then it has ever been before. In Scallywag 93‘s latest tutorial video, he breaks down 10 common launch-punishable tools that you need to learn to destroy on reaction. These are not gimmicky tools — everything listed here are viable weapons your opponents will be looking for ways to use against you. Being able to nullify them consistently will put you a step closer to mastering each of these match-ups, so go hit training mode and start learning!

Top 10 characters missing from Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, according to ScrewAttack!

Who are you missing the most from previous Marvel vs. Capcom games? Surely you’ve thought about this a lot leading up to the game’s release. While there’s hope for more DLC, we know that the X-Men leave a large hole in the cast that may potentially never be filled. Nonetheless, ScrewAttack! takes us down memory lane and gives a larger look at Marvel franchises to talk about which characters could be in Infinite.

Starting with Ant-Man, the videos pitches him as a stance character whose moveset would vary depending on his size. Next, delving into the past, Captain Commando, who has been speculated to join the cast, is mentioned. To round off the cast with more humor, ScrewAttack! wants to see Amingo return to the game. But maybe Marvel will pull in someone from its Netflix series into the game? Phoenix Wright and Squirrel Girl also make the list — until the video reaches the obvious choice.

Do you agree with the list? There’s so many franchises Capcom could pull characters, but which are most pressing to round off the cast? Sound off below.

Start on the path to combo mastery with Novril’s guide to learning long combos

With the recent discovery of the hit-stun decay glitch in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, players are starting to develop super long, touch-of-death combos. If you’re still learning Marvel’s systems, it can be awfully daunting to even recreate these 100+ hit sequences, let alone think of your own. To help players who may be struggling to perform these mammoth combos, Novril has created a short tutorial which should aid you on your quest.

The most important thing to do is to break one combo down into a series of small sections. Practice each section multiple times by itself so you can build up your muscle memory. Once you have mastered each part, try linking them together in the same sequence — pausing to practice transitions that you struggle with. Keep on doing this until you can do the whole combo without any mistakes. Don’t forget to do it on both sides of the screen, just to be sure!

Make sure to take breaks if you are getting frustrated — as well as to give your hands a rest from all that work. It is a long and laborious process at first, but you will get better if you practice regularly.
