Punch Planet patch 0.1.8.14 is live, adds new sound effects and balance changes

Sector K Games’ early access sci-fi fighter Punch Planet received a major patch today that added in various new stage sound effects, animations, and balance changes. You can see the full patch notes here.

Fans of Dog and Tyara will likely notice the most changes: both characters received a significant amount of hitbox and damage adjustments, and even some new animations such as a new hold animation opponents suffer when grabbed by Dog.

HapkidoRed shows off Akuma’s death combos for Tekken 7’s Howard Estate

The unique qualities of Tekken 7‘s Howard Estate allows nearly the entire cast to get either close to, or over 100% damage combos by way of its multiple breakable walls. But what if the character doesn’t even need all the walls to do that?

Certainly, Akuma is a case study in how damage cannot be the only factor when ranking a character’s overall effectiveness in a game. Despite his widely known damage potential, the Ansatsuken user is a niche pick in tournament play at best. But it’s hard not to see how a stage like the Howard Estate plays directly to his strengths, giving him potential death combos in multiple rounds.
