It’s not Christmas just yet, but world-famous Mikado Arcade is giving us gifts anyways! They’re back with three more VODs in their Street Fighter Carnival arcade-tournament series.
Our first two entries are more modern affairs, still beloved by the arcade scene of Japan: The King of Fighters XIII Climax and Ultra Street Fighter IV.
In some particularly cruel twist, Mikado has set the date on machines for Art of Fighting 3 to be October 22nd; characters get access to their desperation moves at the start of the round on their canonical birthdays, and Oct. 22nd just happens to be the birthday of the rightfully-maligned boss tier Wyler.
You can follow the action of SFC12 by subscribing to Mikado’s official YouTube channel. For the night owls in the US, you can even try to catch them when they livestream.

It sounds like Golden Boy MMA isn’t going away just yet.
Capcom’s new weekly streaming show Capcom Connect continues tonight at 8:00 PM PT, streaming live from Esports Arena Oakland! Tune in at Capcom Fighters on Twitch.
Watch live video from CapcomFighters on www.twitch.tv
The stream will once again feature event and news recaps, Street Fighter V matches with guest players and art and cosplay from Street Fighter fans.
From the original Capcom-Unity announcement:
You will have the chance to win various codes for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition just by watching and interacting with our social channels. In the afternoon before each show, we’ll tweet out a specific hashtag on the Street Fighter or Capcom Fighters Twitter account. All you need to do is use that hashtag in a tweet of your own before the drawing begins at around 8:15 PM PT. During the show, we’ll randomly choose winners and announce them on-stream. After the show, expect a Direct Message from the Street Fighter or Capcom Fighters accounts with your code. The codes are currently only for North America.
If you’re an artist or cosplayer, tweet @StreetFighter with pictures of your creation and we just might feature it on the stream with all credit going towards you!
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition’s upcoming patch will also re-balance Extra Battle mode
Grant Dawson, who earned a UFC contract on Season 1 of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, had his anti-doping case dismissed by USADA.
Maxi is one of (if not the) most complicated characters you can choose to play in SoulCalibur VI. Much like Tekken‘s Lei Wulong, Maxi has a large number of stances with non-intuitive options and transitions, making him a character you must do your homework with if you want to do anything competent with him.
The trade-off for all that hard work and stance study is massive damage and the sinking feeling in your opponents gut that they are never quite sure what move is coming next. Check out sikshot gaming‘s breakdown below to jump into the art of nunchaku.

One of the most contentious mechanics that has returned in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is wavedashing. While this was something players needed to learn in Super Smash Bros. Melee, later games did their best to eliminate it — before it has finally returned, in a more limited form, in the latest game.
Limited is the key word here, as getting consistent wavedashes seems to be much harder in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This is part of what this new video from Wizzrobe addresses. Here, he shows an alternate way to do wavedashes to get them more consistently.
That said, this is only part of the video. Wizzrobe also discusses how wavedashing is much more character dependent: not all characters have a good wavedash, so not all players may benefit from learning how to do it.

This past weekend, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launched, beginning a new era for Nintendo’s crossover brawler. With that in mind, Xanadu Games looked to kick things off with a massive bang by hosting a launch tournament for the brand-new title. With 166 Smashers entering the Singles tournament, as well as competition in Doubles and the new Squad Strike format, we were promised a great look at the competitive beginnings and early hype for this new game.
