Hit faster than the speed of light with this Flash combo video for Injustice 2

There are some combos that hit you, and then there are some that hit you before you even know they hit you. If we’re talking about the latter group, you know we have to be talking about The Flash in Injustice 2.

In this combo video, you see excellent usage of his Trait, which slows down the opponent making extending combos even easier, and a few amazing corner carries that can deal around 70% damage to one bar of health. You also see a couple of mix-ups which allow him to take an entire bar easily.

DeeDogg discusses Final Round 2018’s “clear bag” policy, and its effect on attendees

Security at events are ramping up to an all-time high. Especially in the age of 24-hour venues, majors now see a need to not only protect their patrons, but also protect their assets from potential theft. As such, Final Round 2018 has instituted a clear bag policy for this year, which will have its attendees carry all of their belongings inside of a clear bag. If you are unable to do this, you will have to carry your items in your hands, as there will be no other bag allowed inside the venue.

As DeeDogg explains, this creates a potential source of contention among players. As noted, players with larger joysticks — such as the Qanba Dragon or HORI VLX — are left out in the cold, as their joysticks are too large to fit inside the provided clear bags, yet too heavy to comfortably lug around under their arms. He also postulates that this will do very little to stem the tide of theft — but could potentially clear up other security issues.

Azrael gets ugly with his combo capabilities in Blazblue: Central Fiction

Blazblue: Central Fiction lends itself to some insane combos. Its diverse mechanical options lend to extending combos beyond the realm of practicality. Azrael is known for having longer combos that dole out a great deal of damage, and this particular combo video shows much of this.

From coast-to-coast combos, to corner combos that deal insane heaps of damage, it is no wonder that he is considered one of the more powerful characters in the game. You’ll also see a crazy combo with a confirm into Astral Finish to cap off the video.
