Yoshimitsu is one of Tekken 7‘s most notoriously difficult characters to prepare for. With two wildly different movelists full of unusual properties and strange animations, a well-practiced Yoshi player can run an endless set of gimmicks and mix-ups to evaporate your lifebar.

Yoshimitsu is a character for the creative, as demonstrated in today’s video by the wildly talented Setnomessej. Here, he shows off various unblockable tech traps, frame trap resets, and his own original song accompany his damaging tricks!

If you just can’t help your urge to jump in other 2D fighting games, then indie game developer Lowe Bros. Studios has created the perfect little indie game for you. Introducing Indie Pogo:

Indie Pogo’s most distinguishing feature is right there in the title — your character’s primary movement is a Pogo-like multi-jump with an attack hitbox designed to set up further combos. There’s a wide cast of guest characters to choose from — Octodad, Kick from Divekick, Welltaro from Downwell, and just to name a few. Hell, even Shovel Knight and Gunvolt were able to take a break from their guest appearance in Blade Strangers to show up!

Indie Pogo can be purchased on the Steam Store here.

Ken’s MK, HK target combo is called “Lion Breaker” in Street Fighter V. I’ve always had a problem with this because I can’t picture a lion going down to two kicks across the face, but I guess that’s neither here nor there:

What matters is whether or not your opponent goes down to the target combo — and with the setups that World Warrior FGC has invented, they certainly will. Demonstrated in the video above, Lion Breaker sets up nicely for Ken’s cross-up tatsu, creates anti 3-frame panic button situations, and allows any correct guesses to convert into big damage.

Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition pro Brian_F is starting a new quick tips series for Balrog players looking to add nuance to their game. Today’s first discussion breaks down the applications of Balrog’s “Under Impact” target combo (LK,MK,HK), and important information regarding V-Trigger timing with it.

It’s tempting to complete the string when you have V-Trigger on deck — but on both hit and block, Brian argues, you’re better going into VTC on the 2nd hit. This nets you both more damage and frame advantage, as demonstrated in the video above.

“FiveMoves” reads the cheeky handle that Press Button Win uses to play online. Perhaps “FiveishMoves” was already taken, but that’s alright — it’s still perfect for his brand new tutorial series “Think, Don’t Mash!”, which tackles the concept of simplifying move-lists in order to learn a new character or game. While the example provided here is performed in Street Fighter V, it’s a broad concept that applies across all fighters.

The concept is as simple as the effort required to make it work — by forming a gameplan around a few moves, you learn to use those moves better. It also helps commit that information into your long-term memory, and gradually, you can build a nuanced understanding of a character’s entire repertoire through this simple chunking exercise.
