While getting full combos off of counter-hits can be tricky in any game — as you may catch one without expecting it — Tekken 7‘s Claudio has a solid counter-hit launcher in his 4,3 string. Because of its short start-up of 12 frames, you can actually interrupt some of your opponents pressure if they get too greedy with it.

Getting the counter-hit is actually easy, but the fun part is getting the conversion off of it reliably. Fortunately, this video shows a plethora of options to convert with, including his back 4, as well as Starburst. Using these will be key to getting damage in critical moments.

Menat was introduced in Street Fighter V Season 2 as an all-or-nothing resource-munching combo monster. And while she’s still largely a character waiting patiently to dump her resources into a single big damage combo, she has some new tricks up her sleeve for both her combos and her neutral.

The trick in question is ‘Soul Spark’, a new move designed to give her an additional explosive attack when her Soul Sphere is placed. It’s also a juggle-filler tool, as demonstrated by Y. Xiao’s latest combo video: this new move has decent synergy with both of her V-Triggers, allowing her new and devastating combo paths.
