We’re on our third video roundup of videos for Tekken 7‘s DLC2 character, Geese. The previous two roundups have been largely centered around combos and options, predictably so.  But any new character in any game is going to have a bug or two, and if glitches are your favorite things in fighting games, this post if for you.

Let’s just go ahead and get the biggest one out of the way, from Sodusthepock. Devil Jin, you no longer rule the skies of Tekken 7:

Geese became a burd. And something more.https://t.co/BjoTAqN7St pic.twitter.com/HZRWPUWGlv

You may remember that Akuma can trap opponents on the ground by FADCing his Red Fireball over their body, then sweeping them OTG into the fireball. Well, Geese thinks that’s too much work, and just opts for his EX Fireball to pick up grounded opponents in this video from Peter Souvannarath. No other tricks required!

Also from Peter, we have an impressive wall-to-wall combo:

Louis Lee found out that there’s no electrical activity in Geese’s Raging Storm. It makes sense that Geese didn’t get hit, but how did Kazuya survive? Is there a dead spot in the eye of Geese’s storm?

From ShiningFace, here’s a 3-bar death combo that, though it requires the Rage damage buff, does not use any Rage Arts.

Just like Akuma, Geese is able to throw a fireball from upstairs, then juggling into it post-balcony break. art_adriano says it’s his first Geese combo: it’s a good one.

And last but not least, cutcc has some quick educational Geese tips, both for playing as and against SNK’s most famous big-bad.

Following on from his Venom character breakdown, Maximilian has set his sights on the Winter Soldier for his next Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite DLC character preview. Playing like a hybrid of Captain America and Chris Redfield, Winter Soldier’s strength lies in his ability to soak through enemy attacks with his Metal Shield stance — rather than in his zoning.

While the Metal Shield stance sounds overpowered at first, it does have some noticeable drawbacks. It can be beaten by low attacks and Winter Soldier is forced to walk when using it. However, Winter Soldier can attack when in the stance, either with his pistol, his rifle or a variety of punches, and still keep the damage nullification active. One great strength of Winter Soldier will be being able to walk straight through lockdown Supers like Dante’s Million Dollars, and start up a counter-attack. The Tag combo potential from Metal Shield looks equally appealing, as Winter Soldier can keep an opponent occupied while your teammate goes for a mix-up.

His zoning is still effective — especially his jumping Rifle and Pistol shots — but the utility of Winter Soldier’s Metal Shield will be where Max reckons the character will shine. With Winter Soldier, Black Widow and Venom all coming out tomorrow, you won’t have to wait long before you can put this soldier through his paces.
