Moving onto a character at the lower end of the tierlist, Izaw’s latest “Art of” guide for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U focuses on Dream Land’s perfect penguin king, King Dedede. While he has the worst airspeed out of the whole cast and is combo food for most of the top tiers, Dedede excels at trapping your opponent at the ledge. Izaw has even called in Dedede specialist Girthquake and Soul Train to show off just how devastating this penguin can be. With careful use of his Gordo projectile, Dedede can rack up easy damage or even stylish kills on opponents dangling off the edge of the stage.

What he lacks in speed, Dedede makes up for in power. His f-smash shatters shields and he can line up guaranteed shield breaks with careful Gordo placement. While you probably won’t ever win a major playing Dedede, you can certainly style on your opponent. Dunking someone with his Super Dedede Jump is always satisfying.

After creating some character concept videos for Dragon Ball Super’s Hit, Beerus, Goku Black, and Zamasu, IKevinX is back with another video going over the currently-known anime and manga references for one of Dragon Ball FighterZ newly-announced cast members, the Desert Bandit, Yamcha.

With the latest fighters currently unavailable to the public, and only a short character reveal trailer and a bit of gameplay footage from Game Informer to go on, IKevinX notes that their are several things missing from the video — such as Yamcha’s victory and intro animations, Ki attacks, as well as crouching and jumping attacks — but he wanted to make a video anyway for the sake of getting caught up in giving his energy to the Spirit Hypebomb.

As a good portion of Yamcha’s key relevancy comes from the earliest points in the overall series, a majority of his attacks and animations have been lifted from the original Dragon Ball, as well as some originals attacks from Xenoverse 2 and a few other past Dragon Ball fighting games. You can see the full video below!

You can see his other videos for the remaining announced cast members at the following links:

• Goku & Frieza
• Teen Gohan & Vegeta
• Perfect Cell & Majin Buu
• Future Trunks
• Krillin & Piccolo
• SSGSS Goku & Vegeta
• Androids 17 & 18
• Android 16

Dragon Ball FighterZ will be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam PC in February 2018.

While option selects haven’t been prevalent within Street Fighter V to date, they still crop up from time to time. While Ed has solid offense, it can still be blown up from people who have learned to fight against him. These options selects, however, will change the tide back in Ed’s favor.

Ed has various options to battle around his opponents’ V-Reversals. The first one is off of a jump-in — that by buffering low short into low jab into EX Psycho Upper, you will get EX Psycho Upper if your opponent V-Reversals, and will otherwise get the start of a combo or blockstring that will conclude with Psycho Flicker if your opponent does nothing, or gets hit.

These next two take care of the approach from the ground. Using this, if they V-Reversal on the first hit of this blockstring, it will buffer into a super, and otherwise will continue the blockstring.

The last one is slightly similar, but will perform an EX Psycho Upper if they V-Reversal.

Tired of playing competitively in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U? If only there were any special, custom modes for it… the Beefy Smash Doods are doing it the old-fashioned way — making up their own rules to turn Smash 4 on its head.

The Doods present five distinct gameplay “modes” that radically change up the way the game is played.

• Point System — look at a competitive tier list, and randomly select characters. Gain points with a modifier that rewards you for winning with a lower-tier and gives you less points if you use a higher-tier character.
• Sounds Like Smash — randomly pick eight characters, don’t look at the screen, and figure out all the selected fighters based on sound only
• The Ganon Challenge — four or eight players. Everyone, except one person, pick Ganondorf. See how many stocks the single person can take from the Ganondorfs, and then rotate to see who has the best score.
• The Smash Boardgame — Use the character select screen as a board. Advance by taking stocks during matches and play whatever character your cursor lands on as you advance.
• Duelist Pro — a venerated game mode where you keep yourself in the air as Toon Link and try to throw other players down

Go ahead and give those modes shot, if you haven’t already. Which one is your favorite? Maybe you have a “custom game” developed by yourself? Let us know in the comments.
