Gravity Breakers development team breaks down combat mechanics in their latest video

Gravity Breakers is an independent fighting game being developed with a unique premise — every character flies in midair throughout the fight, and you are able to fly freely across the stage. With that in mind, they had to break the mold of traditional fighters in order to design a combat system that would work within the style they’re going for.

Their lead developer Joseph recently released a video showcasing this. While maintaining differing types of normal attacks, their specials work in a similar vein to games of the Smash variety, due to the difficulty of keeping characters in free flight and performing special move motions. The game also looks to ditch health bars for HP totals, while also showing a combo lockout mechanic if a combo goes on too long.

Catch the replay of Punk & MenaRD’s epic Street Fighter V set at Kumite in Tennessee

Two of the youngest players on the tournament circuit are also now two of the best. Punk spent the majority of the Capcom Pro Tour at the top of the leaderboard, and is still ranked #1 in the world. Despite MenaRD’s low seed in the Capcom Cup bracket, the Dominican proved to be one of the best in the world by taking the entire tournament.

Previous, these players faced on in a first-to-five at the Hawaii salty suite at Evo 2017, and MenaRD came out on top. With a half of a year behind them, who comes out on top in this epic exhibition at Kumite in Tennessee?

Pika Power is on display in this Pokkén Tournament Pikachu support combo video

As Pokkén Tournament DX now moves forward to new characters and new supports, it’s worth it to look back on one of the original characters in the game. Pikachu was first revealed as part of the game in the announcement screenshots several years ago, and has remained strong in the game since.

In this combo video, we see Pikachu show off what he can do alongside various support Pokémon. He has really strong synergy with many of them, including Cubone, Farfetch’d, Frogadier, and Yveltal.

FGpop shows off early solo and tag combos for Touhou 15.5’s Koishi Komeiji

Touhou 15.5 ~ Antinomy of Common Flowers is a wildly different beast then the demo version that was first distributed nearly a year ago, at least when looking at the game’s combo system. As FGpop notes in thier latest combo video for returning character Koishi Komeiji, juggle options are limited in AoCF, but individual move damage overall is higher then in the previous game Urban Legend in Limbo.

That doesn’t mean Koishi is weak, though.  This character, unique among the cast for her ability to “store” her special moves, pumps out good damage and plays well with a wide variety of assists. These facts combined with the fact she still has one of the game’s best jump-ins with j.5A, and Koishi is a great character for those willing to work through her unique storage mechanic.
