One of the most contentious aspects of modern gaming is downloadable content. This is something that even fighting games have adopted, with additional colors, cosmetics, and even characters being made available for purchase.

In this new edition of EFG Extra, Novril from Chemical Lovers tackles this issue, looking at things from a developer’s perspective. Here, he takes a look at the reason why DLC is made, including but not limited to the fact that most titles in this nice genre of ours aren’t designed to make a profit with the initial release. He also takes a look at what good and bad DLC is, including what kind of DLC would be beneficial in the future.

Hold that L, the right way.

People usually get into fighting games with the goal of winning — what few grasp is that being able to win at the highest level also takes a magnitude of losses. The reason that losses are so important is that they serve as great learning experiences. However, it is very hard to see the lessons in a loss when your head is swimming from the actual result.

Wenster seeks to educate those people on how to look at losses properly in his most recent video. With the ability nowadays to lab out the exact things you lost to, as well as actually tracking your own progress, it’s definitely within your grasp to use losses as the learning experiences they actually are.

Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2‘s Raven is a solid pressure-oriented character with an interesting stance, versatile toolkit, and amazing setplay. He’s an excellent character for those that want to keep busy and control the pace of a match.

Raven’s damage output is on the lower end of the spectrum without his unique mechanic, Excitement, being built up along the way. Learning to build your excitement mid combo and making every hit count is vital to Raven’s success — so check out Sea Leaf Dojo‘s practical combo video above and start taking notes!
