It’s no secret that Scott “KaiserNeko” Frerichs, Nick “Lanipator” Landis, Curtis “Takahata101” Arnott and Lawrence “MasakoX” Simpson have made quite the name for themselves as the co-creators and voice actors of the widely-popular parody series Dragon Ball Z Abridged. Over the years, they’ve provided fans and newcomers to the franchise alike countless hilarious moments with their fan-based online parody. They’ve even caught the eye of Funimation, who handles the licensing and English dub of the series here in the States, to record an Abridged voice pack for Nappa in Xenoverse 2, as well as getting to voice a scene in the dub of Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters.

In addition to their parody work, the group also possesses a gaming channel, “TFS Plays,” with one of their recent streams focusing on them playing the Dragon Ball FighterZ closed beta. So today, we bring you a highlight reel of some of their best clips, some of which include Lanipator playing a match with the team of Vegeta/Piccolo/Krillin (all three of whom he voices in Abridged) while “in character,” as well as an extremely hype match against a powerful Team Androids player, VelinciaMune.

However, be warned that since it IS TeamFourStar, there is a good amount of NSFW language throughout, so exercise caution if you’re at work.

It was around a year ago that BoxeR-King showed off  1,2,FF+1 in a combo video for his namesake, King. This combo has since become the gold standard for high level King mains — it’s high execution, high damaging, and carries further then nearly anything else currently known. It’s the “high execution” part of that equation that has frustrated many would-be Kings, though.

Boxer’s latest video goes through the applications, timing, and methods of execution. It takes a lot of work to be King of the ring, and with this combo you’ll always be a threat to get to the wall and deal tons of damage.

Stuck in Bronze or Silver rank in Street Fighter V? Getting tossed around flowchart Kens who spam Shoryuken all day? Well worry no more, as the latest episode of Gimmick Busters is dedicated to teaching you how to beat the king of Bronze rank. The main thing for beating cheesy Kens is realizing that the majority of their pressure is fake, and that you can easily stop their offense with a well-timed jab or even medium punish on moves like Chin Buster.

As for the trademark online Ken strategy of throwing DPs like their life depends on it, just be patient. The same apply for Ken’s medium and heavy Tatsu — just wait for them to finish and then let rip with a medium-strength punish. The dreaded EX Air Tatsu is safe on block, but select characters can anti-air Ken before he sticks his flaming foot in you.

Last year’s Michigan Masters major covered a staggering 20 games, which is no surprise when you consider the larger pool of anime-specialized players in the Northeast. Looking to top themselves, tournament head YASE|Mrusuk has just announced a change of venue is necessary. Why’s that? Well…

As the venue moves to the Radisson Hotel in Farmington Hills, Team YASE intend to offer an expanded tournament list, multiple ballrooms, and a 24 hour venue. And that’s just what’s currently announced — Mrusuk has teased that there’s even more information to come in January. If you’re in the Northeast (or are just lucky enough to be able to afford to travel), Michigan Masters is shaping up to be a huge event you won’t want to miss.
