Street Fighter V wasn’t kind to Alex in Season 2 — but Season 3, as part of the Arcade Edition balance changes, sees loyal Alex mains rewarded with a buff to his Lariat. In the variety of setups in this video — including options for both quick and back rise — NurseLee works to maximize the Lariat’s potential frame advantage on hit to as high as +10. Check it out below (and keep an eye out for NurseLee’s next Alex video, promising a look at his new Rage Boost)!
Bandai Namco has dropped a couple of new trailers for Gundam Versus. These trailers focus on some of the upcoming DLC characters coming to the game in Japan.
The first of these is the RX-78-XX Pixie Gundam. Specifically, the version of the Pixie shown here is painted in the grey “Slave Wraith Team colors” and piloted by Fred Reber from Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: Missing Link.
Both mobile suits will be available for purchase for ¥300 on the PlayStation Store — in Japan — on January 30. A release in the West will likely follow.
Although it wasn’t necessarily the fight he was seeking, Michael Chandler will get his chance to regain the lightweight title he lost to Brent Primus last summer.
As a new player in Tekken 7, here’s a fact you have to deal with: everyone you play online and in person will throw out something gimmicky at you at least once. Even in the highest level of play, we’ve already seen moves that “aren’t real” win tournaments, such as Saint’s famous tournament-winning DF+1+3 at the 2016 Tekken World Tour.
These players aren’t disrespecting you (…well, maybe some of them are), they are testing you. When the 39 characters currently in Tekken 7 have 100+ moves a piece, it just makes sense to see what your opponent is and isn’t ready for. That’s the focus of many of the moves in Scallywag 93‘s latest video: if you’ve played even a little bit of Tekken 7, you’ve encountered most, if not all, of the moves in this video already. Every single one of them could have been a free launcher for you. If you’ve been passing up free damage on any of these, don’t get mad: get empowered! It’s time to hit the record feature and get to work training your duck reactions.
It’s here. Today is the first day of Dragon Ball FighterZ, one of the (if not the) most-anticipated fighting games of 2018. As you head into practice mode today (hopefully with all of the characters unlocked) to push your combos and setups, here’s some video references to start charging your Spirit Bomb with:
Few have pushed the combos and setups of pre-launch DBFZ the way Clayton “Final Showdown” Chapman has. If you really want to see the full extent of combo possibilities at the moment, these are a great place to start:
rooflemonger put a lot of time into Nappa during the beta, and has some information on how his toolset works; then, he demonstrates the “Kamehameha x 5” combo:
Lythero shows off big damage with his Android 16/Vegeta/Frieza team. Pretty incredible that 16 can break 5K without spending super meter!
RnK Squad have pushed out an absurd amount of combo tech for a wide variety of the cast already, even including a guaranteed combo into Ginyu’s Body Swap.
