Compare and contrast Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s returning stages with their Super Smash Bros. for Wii U counterparts

One of the main themes of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is bringing back as much as possible from previous games. Aside from the characters, this also includes a number of classic stages from the past. With this in mind, it’s only natural that fans would like compare these stages as they appear in the new game with their previous incarnations.

In the video below, GameXplain does exactly that, attempting to recreate the screenshots that have been released for the stages using Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Doing this gives us a hint of how these changes have — or haven’t — changed coming into the new game.

As a bonus, their attempts to do this seem to have also unearthed a more general change: the camera seems to move slightly differently, with them having trouble positioning it to get a true 1-to-1 recreation of the screenshots released for Smash Ultimate.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is set to launch on Switch on December 7, 2018.

Rising Up: Sagat bread-and-butter combo guide — Punishes, confirm combos, juggles, & more

Champion of Muay Thai, former Heavenly King of Shadaloo, and series veteran since the original Street Fighter, Sagat has finally come back for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. Returning with kara uppercuts, safe-at-range Tiger Knees, angry scar, and a fireball almost rivaling Guile’s Sonic Boom, Sagat feels so much like his old self that he’s almost out of place in SFV. Sagat was released alongside G, who felt extremely experimental by design, so I think the developers were probably trying to adapt and deliver Sagat to be as true to type as possible, especially considering he’s a fan-favorite who was added per mass request. Still, he has some new tools to play around with, namely a Trigger with a guard break. Both Sagat’s triggers are fairly straightforward and his main consideration when considering combos has been “how to convert at range.” So it didn’t take me long to put together this guide of his most essential combo routes, so that players can quickly learn the basics and start developing their neutral game. Here are your best bread-and-butter combos that I’ve found for every common scenario. This video features anti-airs, punishes, confirms, counter-hit combos, crush counter combos, juggles, and more.

This Sagat bread-and-butter video is not the full Sagat tutorial I’m working on, but rather simply a guide to his basic optimal combo routes. The combos are all my own findings, alongside a few things I’ve observed from other players. Sagat is a relatively simple character and I’m pretty sure there weren’t any overt combo routes I missed, but I wholeheartedly encourage anyone watching to point out anything I did miss in the comments, for both my sake and for other players, so that I can amend them into the final video when I release it!
