If you don’t closely follow Sabin’s Team Spooky After Hours, you may have missed Dusty Knuckles V! This retro game exhibition was a collaboration between Team Spooky and IFixMachine to highlight games from the arcade scene’s past: Beastorizer (a.k.a. Bloody Roar), and Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition.
But if you missed it, no sweat: an hour+ of high level arcade action awaits you below in the recently upload VOD playlist from Team Spooky themselves.
Geese has become Tekken 7‘s go to “2D” character in tournaments, it seems. That’s a bit of a shame, because the game’s first guest character, Akuma, got some fairly interesting changes that you don’t get to see in practice too often.
A mixture of nerfs and buffs, Akuma has become a bit more versatile and neutral focused, while still maintaining his high damage output and strong mixups. If you need a debrief on Akuma’s changes (some of which were not in the patch notes) then check out That Blasted Salami‘s video guide above!
Time flies, huh? Back in March Namco announced the Tekken World Tour 2018 finals were heading to Amsterdam, NLD. This decisive event is just a little bit away now — and tickets are on sale right now! If you intend to go, though, you need to hurry — tickets are limited.
On Dec. 1st and 2nd, the best Tekken 7 players from around the globe — such as Knee, Saint, Anakin, HighLow, JDCR, Tissuemon, Qudans (TWT 2017 champion), and more — come together to determine who’s will be the new TWT champion. For those unable to attend, the event will be live-streamed worldwide exclusively on Twitch.
The festivities include both the finals themselves and a Last Chance Qualifier event on Dec. 1st. The LCQ will consist of 256 player slots; competitors will vie for the top spot which will qualify them to enter the main event taking place on December 2nd as one of 20 finalists competing for the coveted title of Tekken World Tour 2018 champion.
A few months ago, top tier content creators That Blasted Salami constructed a 20 minute set of character overviews for Dragon Ball FighterZ‘s Saiyans. Since many of the Saiyans are versatile and designed to introduce players to DBFZ’s system mechanics, it was an excellent starting point for new players to cut their teeth. But if you want to play a villain, or are looking for a unique and varied playstyle, you’ll probably have your eyes set on a different member of the cast.
That is where today’s video comes in: all remaining characters, including DLC characters,are disseminated in the nearly hour long lecture. If you’ve ever needed a guiding hand to pick a new character for you, these overviews should help.
Punch Planet is an excellent sci-fi fighter in development from 3-man indie studio Sector-K Games. Currently in early access, this project is full of big ideas and brilliant footsie focused game-play — and for the next few days, you can get in on its ground floor for cheap.
Punch Planet is apart of Steam’s Halloween sale, ending on November 1st. With 6 unique characters, a responsive and open development and passionate community, this is a great time to try one of the best indie fighters on the market right now.
SoulCalibur VI‘s new soul charge mechanic has been the source of what is easily some of the most powerful looking and consistent combos we’ve seen in the SC universe. Married with cast wide flexibility and its no surprise that it forms a large part of the tech that’s coming out for the game — let’s jump in and see what the community has developed today!
Before you can do any fancy combos in SC, you need to know about proper movement. A veteran player like Hayate EIN is the perfect person to learn movement fundamentals from!
Siegfried’s wall combos not only hurt, but he seems to have an abundance of high damage options when he’s the one that’s cornered. Keep in mind your spacing!
You might feel like you’re seeing a lot of Mina players around — this is because Mina players have finally received a version of their character that hits as hard as everyone else. Look at this damage output!
Don’t get hit by Azwel’s mid projectile when he’s in Soul Charge.
