Pokkén Tournament DX pro BadIntent shares how to focus your training for self-improvement

“Each step you climb is one more step up the ladder!”

While BadIntent might be known best for his tournament placements in Pokkén Tournament DX, his latest advice is applicable to every player of every game in the FGC. If you find yourself losing games — even if you feel like you know a lot about the game — it might be because you’re focusing on the wrong skill set for the level you’re playing at.

BadIntent’s latest video tackles what he calls the “Building Blocks of Improvement” — a tool to help us visualize where we are in our fighting game journey, and where we broadly need to focus in order to improve our results.

Bandai Namco teases the next Dragon Ball FighterZ DLC character… with memes

There are memes in your backyard, and there are memes on the official Bandai Namco company Twitter. Similarly to Capcom’s recent tweets, it seems like the latest trend is to drop coy messages on social media. We don’t know who the next Dragon Ball FighterZ character will be, and after seeing the following messages, we might not be any closer to finding out than before. Unless you’re a meme-linguist with a degree. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Whatever dank memes the Bandai Namco account produces next, we’re bound to figure out the next DBFZ character somehow… eventually…

Stay tuned to Shoryuken for developments.
