It’s very rare that two people find themselves pitted against each other across multiple majors, yet this is exactly what happened to Super Smash Bros. Melee players Mango and Armada. Up until Genesis 5, the American and the Swede always seemed to have their paths destined for Grand Finals, despite the odds of this happening repeatedly.

In this video from theScore, we see how their tournament paths crossed, and the circumstances surrounding each of them. It also shows how Armada has had the upper hand at the series, having beaten Mango 3-1 in Grand Finals sets.

Now, now… I know how we all feel about Arakune players in BlazBlue: Central Fiction. To say that they are not the most-liked is a polite understatement. But just in case you aren’t aware of just how vile, disgusting, unfair, overpowered Arakune is, this is the video you need to see and share in misery with friends.

SugoiSmallFry took nine precious months out of his life to create ｢Unspeakable Evil｣, a combo video and character tutorial monstrosity in one. Starting out with a story edited from BlazBlue‘s sprites and animation, the lengthy clip goes into showing how to perform the dirtiest cross-ups and hard-to-blockable setups, that may result in ragequits. The visual editing is fairly impressive (occasionally meme-ing a bit), showing button inputs and even a chart that displays what type of mix-ups Arakune can perform in a “Block with me” sequence.

The latter half is a compilation of pretty practical situations that Arakune can turn around into a full Curse and some character-specific tricks. SugoiSmallFry shows how to get around common tools and defensive measures from fighters like Ragna, Lambda-11, Rachel, Jin, and others. Arakune can even disgustingly combo into a full Curse from a Counter Assault. Though the video is technically about CF 1.0, Arakune is relatively unchanged, combo-wise, in the current version.

And it seems like Arakune players have new theme songs to brand them, which are, bizarrely enough, remixes of I Feel Good and Wonderwall (though it’s actually called Wallspin). Yes. You read this correctly.
