Take advantage of Abigail’s gigantic hurt box with Ken’s tatsu in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

World Warrior FGC has shared much in the way of complicated Ken-specific Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition tech with us over the years. However, sometimes it’s just nice to go gawk at gigantic damage, and that’s almost certainly what you’ll do after you see what he’s created for the Ken-Abigail match-up.

Maybe this is an understatement, but Abigail’s giant hurt box becomes a huge liability against Ken. The firey shoto can suddenly find himself landing multiple hits of his heavy kick Tatsu as combo starters, including up to 3 hits in the corner alone!

Tekken 7 tech roundup — Armor King’s unblockable Rage Drive, Marduk death resets, and more!

Wrestling fans, rejoice — With the surprise drop of version 2.10 of Tekken 7, Marduk and Armor King are running wild and scoring pinfalls all across the world. Both characters have rocketed out of the gate with strong combos and tech — let’s jump in and see what the community has found thus far!

Let’s start with Armor King. The feline heel hits hard thanks to his bootleg Wind God Fist (Dark Upper)…

…and his terrfying mixup game on grounded opponents. You’re gonna want to learn how to break ground grabs, friends.

Armor King’s Great Muta-reference Rage Drive is fascinating — a high unblockable that gives guaranteed grabs, and nothing else. What a terrifying and unique tool.

Now let’s pivot to Marduk. You probably take one look at Marduk and say to yourself “That is a man that can hurt me.” Congrats, you’re right:

Before you can death combo, though, you should probably pick up some more practical BnBs, especially if you’ve never played as the big man before.

His Rage Drive behaves strangely when done after certain extensions, but that won’t stop the Vale Tudo mixup from breaking bones (and lifebars.)

Really makes you wonder what Gigas’s future is, huh?

Override: Mech City Brawl announces first DLC character, the unicorn mech “Stardust”

Gundam fans, have you ever wanted to play as Master Gundam’s horse, Fuun-saiki? Just the horse, mind you. If so, then “Stardust”, the first DLC character for Override: Mech City Brawl, is probably as close as you’re going to get:

Click to view slideshow.

This football kicking, star-shooting horse will launch on December 14 for $3.99, and is also included with the “Super Charged Mega Edition” of the game. Gematsu reports that the character has “a penchant for posing extravagantly and kicking up her hooves of steel,” and to “get ready to unleash all manner of aerial launches.” In short, I’d like to introduce a new FGC term for any future Stardust tech: Horse Juggles.

Override: Mech City Brawl is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Open up new punishment options with Crouch Canceling in Tekken 7

While not as versatile as a technique like Korean Back-Dashing, crouch canceling is a useful and vital skill you’ll eventually want to add to your repertoire in Tekken 7 — and many other 3D fighters, too.

“Crouch Canceling” does exactly what it sounds like — you can simply and quickly cancel your crouch with a sidestep or small dash, allowing you to perform non-crouch moves in situations where you would be forced to otherwise. Check out ApocryphicV‘s tutorial to see how this can be applied to unlock new punishes on defense and new options on offense.

Don’t sleep on Eliza’s buffs in Season 2 of Tekken 7

That Blasted Salami has been in the process of thoroughly documenting every new change, and its implications for each character, in Tekken 7. They’re at Eliza now, who has been a much troubled character since inception — have the Season 2 changes been kind to her?

Well, yes and no. Core elements to Eliza’s game-play in Season 1 took an overall hit — namely, divekicks and damage — but in its place is a more well rounded toolkit with considerable quality of life buffs. Check out the video above to see what Namco’s sleepiest vampire can do in the latest version of Tekken 7.
