St. Louis is getting a new FGC monthly with Apollo: The Maiden Voyage, running from December 16th-17th

Hoping to usher in a new era of FGC events in the St. Louis area, the Apollo tournament series is setting off on its maiden voyage on December 16th. Based out of the new Moonbase Market in St. Louis’ historic Soulard neighbourhood, this two-day monthly looks to give the Missouri FGC a new event to rally around.

For its first outing, Apollo: The Maiden Voyage will be hosting tournaments for the following games:

  • Super Smash Bros. for Wii U ($500 pot bonus for singles, $150 for doubles)
  • Super Smash Bros. Melee  ($300 pot bonus for singles, $150 for doubles)
  • Street Fighter V ($200 pot bonus)
  • Tekken 7 ($200 pot bonus)
  • Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite ($100 pot bonus)
  • Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 ($50 pot bonus)
  • ARMS ($50 pot bonus)

If ARMS and Guilty Gear get at least 16 sign-ups, the Apollo TOs will increase the pot bonus to $100. If any of the other games reach over 32 entrants, $100 will be added to their respective prize-pots. For all the details concerning registration, pricing and scheduling, check out the Apollo: The Maiden Voyage smash.gg page.

Destiny 2 – Curse of Osiris Hands-On Preview

It feels like just yesterday I was logging into the Destiny 2 servers for the first time and grinding my way to a power level of 305. Now that we’ve thrashed Ghaul and the Red Legion and (SPOILER ALERT!) the Traveller has reawakened there’s going to be even more problems focusing their site on our little corner of the universe. The latest threat heading our way will have guardians flying off to Mercury in Destiny 2’s first expansion, The Curse of Osiris.

Have you peaked yet? Frabisaur shows you how to get from Gold to Platinum rank in Street Fighter V

The climb is never done. Once you’ve had tastes of victory as a rookie, you want more! Soon, if you’re diligent, you’ll find yourself climbing from Bronze, to Silver, and on to Gold. But should you stop there?

No — because the real test comes when trying to reach Platinum rank and beyond. Frabisaur, who previously has offered guidance on how to climb to Silver and Gold, now sets his sights on getting you to Platinum. By first illustrating how to do delayed throw techs and shimmies, he focuses mainly on your mental game in this episode. He illustrates how observing your opponents’ play and forcing them to do what you want is the key to victory as you climb in rank.

Remember to check out Frabisaur’s Twitch stream on Thursday night, as this week will focus on the application of what is covered in the above video!

TEKKEN TRAINING: Electric Wind God Vids — Dealing with Eddy’s Relax stance

Electric Wind God Vids is back with some more character counter-strategies: today we’re tackling Eddy’s “Relax” stance. Its name is good advice for those that may be struggling against it — it’s not as scary as it initially appears!

With its small hurtbox and powerful mix-up options, Eddy’s “Relax” stance is, at first, frustrating and powerful. However, many of the transitions into Relax are very unsafe, and if you know your options, you can shut it down.
