Kragg has suffered in the tiers of Rivals of Aether for a long time. But in a moderately-balanced game, that doesn’t mean as much in the grand scheme, and Jackie Peanuts shows how dangerous the rock-wielder can be in the right circumstances.

In this compilation of combos, Kragg’s slow speed seems to disappear as he pushes around the competition he faces online. He also takes out enemies with creative usage of his rocks to spike his opponents to their death.

Versus 2018 has served as a trip down memory lane. With some of the old-school Marvel players making their way out alongside some of the newer players of the game spanning across three titles, this shaped up for an exciting event.

One of the highlights of the weekend was Justin Wong playing against his old Marvel vs. Capcom 2 rival Sanford Kelly in a first-to-ten exhibition. The two have had even matches across the game’s lifespan, with the last two Evo championships being split between the two in grand finals that included both. With that kind of introduction, you know that this exhibition will be a classic.

While it’s true that Tekken 7‘s Leo is good at most things, one of their defining strengths are the large and practical counter-hit setups this character employs.

Leo has counter-hit combo states off a wide variety of options at every hit-level, including the all-important Magic 4. The damage off of these tools are not inconsequential, either- though follow-ups can be much harder then others. This is true in the case of Leo’s aforementioned 4, which requires a micro-dash to get the most damage out of it.

Your mentality as you head into a match determines a large part of your success in fighting games. Few knows this better then Teemo, a relative unknown prior to his massive victory at Canada Cup 2017’s Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite tournament. Teemo now makes an appearance on FGC Philosophy to talk about his experience.

While much of the dialogue is centered around Teemo’s main game Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, much of what is discussed is just good, general advice. Execution, adaptation, and learning what to practice based off your previous matches are all touched on — and any player from any game can get value from this.
