BoxeR-King teaches how to elminate your opponent’s options with Sidestep Duck in Tekken 7

Let me see you one, two step…

Lately, Tekken Youtuber BoxeR-King has been giving us a rundown on all things sidestep related. Recently, he covered how to shut down your opponent’s options with a sidestep guard — but this is not appropriate for every situation.

Sometimes you’ll want to Sidestep Duck instead. Take the example of Steve’s Peekaboo stance — you might think you have to respect a mix-up after you get hit by PAB d+1 because of its frame advantage, but the truth is that a proper sidestep gets you away from the majority of his options.

FrameWhisperer demonstrates how to neutralize Noctis gimmicks in Tekken 7

The DLC Prince of Tekken 7 comes equipped with an assortment of weapons your average Tekken player may not be ready for. Between his giant range, strong parry, and versatile projectile, Noctis can blow up unsuspecting players with knowledge checks alone. But it doesn’t have to be this way!

If the Final Fantasy XV protagonist is consistently wiping your party in ranked, then FrameWhisperer Tekken‘s latest tutorial is right for you. In it, he covers some common problem tools you’ll run into — Running 1+2, Parry Setups, etc. — and how you can defend yourself against them.

It’s been a few days now since the initial release of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition‘s latest DLC character, Falke.

Just because Falke is based around her far-range, doesn’t mean she’s a slouch up close. Check out these frame traps from World Warrior FGC!

How are the best in the world playing Falke right now? Well, let’s take a look at these Infiltration replays and see.

If desk considers a combo impractical, you know you’re in for a good time.
