Check out these humorous sets between Nakao’s Jubei and Garireo’s Litchi

Maybe Jubei hasn’t made as much of a splash onto the competitive scene as some players hoped, but there might still be some hope for the character. Even if he isn’t as viable, it’s good to see two pro BlazBlue: Central Fiction players duke it out in a fun set. PNS|Garireo, who recently triumphed at CEOtaku 2017, takes on Nakao’s Jubei in a best to three.

Litchi shows just how oppressive she can get in Garireo’s skilled hands. Though Nakao does make the fight look pretty even, it’s not easy at all. It’s pretty close, but Litchi edges out the win in the first set. That Astral attempt though…

In the second video, Garireo starts out dominant, and Nakao is barely able to land even a hit. The kitty cat does surmount a comeback, however. It’s definitely an uphill battle for Nakao, especially in neutral, because Litchi covers the screen so well and can confirm into good corner carry. However, Nakao shows some pretty impressive skills with Jubei.

Check out all three sets below, which are worth to watch even just to see two highly skilled players having some entertaining matches.

Catch Black Panther, Sigma, and Monster Hunter in action with this Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite footage from GameSpot

This past weekend at the New York Comic Con, Capcom brought out Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite’s first batch of DLC characters: Black Panther, Monster Hunter, and Sigma. Alongside revealing the release date for the three, they also allowed people to try them out at the show.

For those who weren’t able to go to NYCC, GameSpot was able to capture some direct feed footage of the three in action. The video below features a match between all three characters (alongside Captain Marvel) duking it out. While the gameplay on showcase isn’t exactly high-level competitive play (you can tell that whoever is playing is letting their opponent get some hits in), we do see some examples of what these characters are capable of, such as Monster Hunter’s post-super install mode, and Black Panther and Sigma’s wall jumps.

Gootecks returns to the basics of Street Fighter V with Cross Counter Training’s guide to throws and shimmies

If you go online much with Street Fighter V, you will see an army of newcomers who have major difficulties with throws. You’ll also find some players that ride solely on throws, and will get frustrated when they run up against players who know how to tech them.

Gootecks covers both of these scenarios in his Cross Counter Training series. He teaches the importance of throws — and how to execute them, or map them to one button within Street Fighter V‘s menu — and also goes over how to tech throws, and how to use shimmies to mix up people who will mash techs out of your block strings.
