Not every character in Omen of Sorrow is gifted with particularly easy-to-set-up juggle states. Decapre-esque divekicker Zafkiel is, however, and CCW|MRpeck324‘s latest combo video shows how she can easily turn any stray hit into giant combos.

Though an example Blessed Mode loop is included, Zafkiel doesn’t need the additional combo mode to score up to 70% damage or more. She just needs a bold cancel and decent execution… and that doesn’t even include what she can do in the corner.

The transition from Tekken 6 to later Tekken entries certainly wasn’t kind to Bob, nor should it have been, given his overall dominance in that game. Because of this, though, there’s been a precipitous drop-off in Bob players, one of which a series of strong buffs in Season 2 hopes to rectify.

Damage buffs across the board — particularly on some key crouch dash options — and a uniquely strong set of wall bounce options make Bob’s combo damage more meaningful in the long run. Between this and a set of new roll options, perhaps Season 2 will bring Bob back to the forefront.

You probably already know this, but just in case you didn’t know: 8-time Evo Champion Justin Wong is very good at fighting games. The wide list of games he’s excelled at give him the experience to breakdown pretty much any situation — making him an excellent player to get advice from.

Justin Wong spent PAX West 2018 playing Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, coaching players and focusing his own game-play on SFV’s latest characters, Sagat and G. In this 30-minute breakdown and reflection on PAX, Justin Wong shares the finer points of playing each character, their match-ups, strengths, and more.

Azwel is an overwhelming force when you first encounter him — and, it turns out, when you first try to play as him. SoulCalibur VI‘s weapon summoner has a unique check to his wide array of magic melee attacks — he’s penalized with an additional 8 frames of startup if he tries to use a new weapon out of the blue.

As sikshot gaming explains in his latest tutorial video, this is a critical bit of information for both player and foe to keep track of when Azwel is on the screen — particularly when it comes to how airtight his pressure is after certain moves.

Since the SoulCalibur VI throw break OS was originally postulated by the SC community last night, I decided to try and work out this particular option-select to see if it was “real” or just a placebo effect. For those of you that don’t know, an option-select is simply a single input that always picks the correct answer for what “should” be a mixup scenario. In this case, I am breaking grabs with two different breaks via one single input:

The above video shows the breakdown and frame-count of the OS at work, with a third example thrown in at the end just for consistency’s sake.

As much as I love odd little option-selects like this, hopefully this will be patched out soon — it really has no place in Calibur’s engine and does nothing to make it a “better”game.
