There is no character more lambasted for his ability to completely annihilate new players in Tekken then Eddy Gordo. Everyone loses to the Capoeira master the first time they him, regardless of how good or bad the Eddy player is. Welcome to Tekken: learning to punish this character is the equivalent of overcoming the fireball/Shoryuken trap the first time you see it.

The truth is that the majority of his stance transitions are punishable, but you have to know your exact character’s options to hit low stances. Though IJustSneezed‘s “Eddy Punishment Guide” covers Bob primarily, the lessons applied are universal. Don’t let Eddy go into Handstand or Relax for free anymore — sit down with training mode and learn where the gaps are, and you’ll go a long way in neutralizing mediocre Capoeira.

“Super Street Fighter Carnival 2017” is the regularly occurring tournament series of Japan’s famous Mikado Arcade. This series focuses on arcade titles of old, bringing out high level play for a variety of games. We are halfway through this tournament season, so you can catch up here if you missed any of the action.

Today’s tournament entry is 1996’s Virtua Fighter 3: Team Battle, which is the arcade re-balance of the legendary 3D fighter Virtua Fighter 3.

While the above is the main event, you should know that Mikado really loves VF3tb. As such, they also shared an additional hour’s worth of footage from after the event, just in case the main tournament wasn’t enough for you.

You can follow the action by subscribing to Mikado’s official YouTube channel. You can even try to catch them when they livestream!

Miss the thick, comic book-inspired outlines of Marvel vs. Capcom 3? You aren’t alone. YouTuber nded wanted to try and recreate that feeling in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite with ReShade, an open-source plugin for games that use Direct3D or OpenGL. Here’s what they’ve worked out thus far:

While there’s some obvious problems with the filter (ReShade’s inability to separate the UI is really unfortunate), I don’t think it’s too controversial to say that some of the results are a marked improvement. Which of nded’s experiments are your favorite?

Wishmere is the fighting/brawler debut of two-man indie team Crayder Studios. The heart of this recently released gem is its surprisingly-deep combo system, which is the central subject of the developer’s latest video:

Many of these big combos have a common thread with the “Fate Advance” mechanic, a time-slowing (and combo-escaping) mechanic that has both offensive and defensive utility. But aside from the universal application of “Fate,” each character has a lot of unique elements in their individual move lists. To show this off, Crayder shared some of their own match footage to show what the game looks like in well-versed hands:

Wishmere is now available through Steam.

cutcc is back with more of his “QuickNotes” series for Tekken 7! This series is designed to lay out the fundamentals of a Tekken character in as compact a video as possible, and today’s character is the stance switching boxer, Steve Fox.

Steve throws a lot of the traditional Tekken rules out the window. His punishment game is pretty awful compared to the rest of the cast, getting no big combo opportunities until comparatively slower speeds. He makes up for this fact with some oppressive frame advantage off blocked highs and mids, irritating lows, and giant counter-hit damage.
