Month: November 2017

With their schedules becoming much clearer over the course of this month, top-level UK NRS commentators and content creators PND|Ketchup and Mustard are looking to return to the world of Injustice 2 by streaming a series of high-level online first-to-ten sets — featuring some of the top players and character-specialists from around the world — as chosen by the viewers and fans.

With the recent November update shaking the meta to its very core, there have been a wide variety of lesser-seen players and characters on display in these matches.

Notable encounters include: Bdon’s Dr. Fate taking on Atai’s Blue Beetle, UndeadJim’s newly-minted Hellboy squaring off against Yammini’s Green Arrow, Vertex|HeyGeorge’s (who nearly eliminated Echo Fox’s Sonic Fox from ELEAGUE) freshly-buffed Joker against CrazyFinger’s Swamp Thing, Method|REO’s Bane vs. Buffalo’s Sub-Zero, OmegaK’s beastly Gorilla Grodd opposing DizzyTTT’s Black Canary, Echo Fox|Theo’s Superman/Bizarro against Emperor Knick’s Darkseid, and many more. We’ve embedded a few matches below for your viewing pleasure, but you can catch all of the other sets on their YouTube Channel, or watch them unfold live, at https://www.twitch.tv/pndketchup, every Wednesday at around 12:00 PM CT (10:00 AM PT).

While North America has been studying the game engine of Sailor Moon S and developing a meta in the game for a handful of years now, Japan has been doing the same since the game’s 1994 release. While a lot of what the west knows about this game overlaps with what Japan knows, there is still much to learn, and the Japanese scene is working to give their western counterparts a leg up.

Japanese Street Fighter III: Third Strike legend Koushun is one of the biggest players of the game in Japan, and has recently released some of his footage — formerly only found by hunting for it on Niconico Douga — on Youtube. He also includes captions to explain the tech found in English. In it, you can see various setups and option selects used to blow up wake-up backdashes and guard cancels as well as to punish trades in some situations. He also shows off some amazing ambiguity with crossups, including some with Uranus that sets up her infinite.

Want to play a meter-using character in the Tekken 7 but not sure if Akuma’s stubby limbs will work for you? Worried about how new Geese will be, and just want to jump in to a character that’s already understood? Maybe Tekken’s Mistress of the Dark, Eliza, will compliment you.

Tekken player UFOrange has put together a great Eliza combo showcase to show off what the immortal seductress is capable of. This dive-kicking, fireball-chucking monster has no lack of versatility or punishment options, and can dump her meter into many situations for big damage.
