Jump cancels, links, loops, and more in this cool Pokkén Tournament DX Weavile combo exhibition

We’ve mentioned in the past that Pokkén Tournament DX‘s Weavile is a slippery foe to pin down thanks to its long list of mobility options. When you see this sort of super-fast, high-mobility archetype in games, you typically don’t expect them to also pump out giant damage when they actually connect.

That’s just not the case with Weavile. Combining the long list of combo tech on display in the latest in the latest 21 Hits exhibition with its special-cancelable anti-air (8Y) and one of the best 9 frame mids in the game (4Y), Weavile hits hard and fast in every situation.

“I am the white void…” — Master Hakumen with this complete combo guide

Famous not only for his huge sword but also an elongated intro quote, where he tells the opponent their end is nigh, Hakumen has always been a popular-yet-niche character. He stands out with a different resource system and the inability to run. Instead, Hakumen players (theoretically) should apply patience and wait for the right chance to counter.

Hakumen received some welcome changes in the 2.0 version of BlazBlue: Central Fiction, as his combos have more flexibility now. The options from his Drive have greatly expanded. All in all, Hakumen remains a powerhouse. The damage goes up very fast as long as you pool some resources into it. The combo video takes you from the shorter, less resource-intensive combos to learning how to inflict misery on your friends on foes. And watch your head! All he needs in the corner is to hit you with the stomp overhead, 6B, to deal over 7000 damage. What a character!

If you’d rather cross to the dark side, enjoy these BBCF 2.0 Susano’o combos as well.
