A simple technique to ready your response to your opponent’s Hyper combos!

rooflemonger continues his “Let’s Learn Marvel!” series with a single, simple execution technique that will ensure your inputs in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite come out when they need to, taking the timing guesswork out of responding to a Hyper combo flash. This new video examines MvC:I’s “button-hold trick”: first brought to rooflemonger’s attention via the SRK Forums, holding any command button during a screen-freeze will allow your input to activate on the first possible frame. Check out the video for a look at the potential applications.

As we continue navigating Snake Way, getting ever closer to the release of the highly-anticipated Dragon Ball FighterZ, we were recently gifted a trio of character reveals by Shenron in the forms of Gotenks, Ultimate Gohan and Kid Buu. After getting unintentionally caught up in the overpowering hype, IKevinX has released his latest anime and manga reference video, based off of the short gameplay trailer of Gotenks that recently dropped.

Drawing primarily on his battle with Super Buu — particularly the version depicted in the anime — the fused Saiyan warrior will be able to utilize shoulder rams, a tornado-like spinning attack that bears a striking resemblance to Ryu’s Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, his Continuous Die Die Missile and Victory Cannon, as well as some original attacks that seem to have been created for DBFZ. This does fit his extremely childish and flamboyant fighting style.

His specials include his signature Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack (complete with no eyebrows and the Super Saiyan 3 hairstyle), the Galactic Donut and Super Donut Volley, which look great for restraining foes from long-range, and, of course, the Charging Ultra Buu Buu Volleyball attack — which, despite being utilized with Piccolo to reenact the classic passing scene, will have character-specific passing animations depending on the characters you’ve chosen to team him up with him for the current battle. He also appears to assault Kid Buu with a barrage of Super Miracle Punches as well. You can catch the full video — as well as links to his coverage of previous cast members — below.

While Brook has been the go-to in the last couple years for joystick aftermarket parts, they have also set their sights on cornering the controller market. Their new wired controller, the Mars, boasts compatibility with PS4, PS3, PC, and the Nintendo Switch with minimal lag. How close to their claims have they come?

In his review of the controller, Jonyfraze says that they hit the bull’s eye. While he indicates that some of the removable directional pad options are cumbersome to use, he also states that the buttons, triggers, and analog sticks are incredibly responsive and feel great. He also praises the controller for its build quality — and even the port for the USB cable, for making the connection really sturdy.

Pikachu Libre, a.k.a. R. Pika, is the most versatile and mobile grappler in the Pokkén Tournament DX cast. Pokkén Pros BadIntent and Slippingbug put together the ultimate combo guide for any aspiring Pikadores to quickly pick up this popular and powerful tournament Pokémon.

Be it a jab, anti-air, counter, or throw, Libre will always convert or put you in a situation for another terrifying coin flip. It’s at the trade off of a lower health pool then other characters, but as you can see from her damage output and tournament results, that’s not exactly holding the Masked Pikachu back.
