Learn all about Yoshi’s crazy shield properties in Super Smash Bros. Melee

In a previous installment, SSBM Tutorials dealt with the options Yoshi has by using his shield parry. However, with such a unique shield as Yoshi’s in Super Smash Bros. Melee — giving him an egg to shield himself, rather than the usual orb — there has to be more to it.

In this video, SSBM Tutorials goes over nearly everything about Yoshi’s shield. They discuss some of the positives — including his ability to store power shields — and negatives, such as the possibility to get punished out of his roll.

Strike fear in your opponents with these Susano’o combos in BlazBlue: Central Fiction

Susano’o didn’t make as much of a splash in BlazBlue: Central Fiction initially, despite an important role in Story Mode. Though the scary god has a terrifying — if somewhat inaccessible, arsenal of power — the 1.0 version of Susano’o felt severely limited in its potential. That’s the thing, actually: Susano’o is unique in that his special moves are locked behind his drive, and slowly unveil over the course of a match.

Things are somewhat different in 2.0, and the most noticeable change is damage. Having even one move unlocked can lead to almost 4000 damage in a midscreen combo, something unreachable for most characters without a very good starter. For example, a counter hit from the unlocked sword move can lead to 4.2-4.8k damage depending on spacing on the screen.

Susano’o is more explosive than ever, and Meno shows it in yet another BlazBlue: Central Fiction combo video with useful notation. The later sections use the Heat gauge and Overdrive to really ramp up the damage.

Don’t forget to check out some Jubei combo videos, if you’re looking to learn the newest CF character.
